Translated FINMA notice:
Updated sanction message: Sudan
The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) has approved Annex 2 of the Ordinance of 25. May 2005 on measures against Sudan (SR 946.231.18).
On the 18th February 2026, the Federal Department of Economics, Education and Research WBF amended Annex 2. The WBF has therefore adapted the SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management) database, which is relevant for Switzerland, and published the adjustment on its website. The urgent change takes effect on the 18th. February 2026, 11:00 p.m.
In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, financial intermediaries are required to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the business relationships concerned to SECO. The report to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 GwG and, if he cannot clear them, to report it immediately to the notification office for money laundering in accordance with Art. 9 GwG.
