Financial intermediaries are required, in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance, to implement the prohibitions, freeze the assets of sanctioned persons, and report the affected business relationships to SECO. Reporting to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary of the obligation to carry out additional clarifications under Art. 6 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) in the event of suspicion, and, if these suspicions cannot be dispelled, to immediately file a report without delay with the Money Laundering Reporting Office under Art. 9 AMLA.
