    Updated sanction message: Democratic Republic of Congo

    The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF has adopted an amendment to Annex 2 of the Ordinance of 22. June 2005 on measures against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (SR 946.231.12).

    On the 19th In October 2026, the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF changed the list of persons, companies and organizations.

    but, unlike what we usually get, we didn’t get a hyperlink to the matching SECO page. I’m sure it was an oversight…

    Sanctions: Russia

    On 19 August 2026, the Federal Council decided to associate, in line with established practice, with the additional measures of the 20th European Union package of sanctions against Russia, which will enter into force on August 20, 2026.

    A total of 115 people and entities had been added to Switzerland’s sanctions list as of May 22, 2026. The list of Swiss sanctions in connection with Russia’s war against Ukraine currently includes about 2790 individuals, companies and entities.

    In the financial sector, the Federal Council now prohibits the use of Russian platforms for the exchange or transfer of cryptoassets. This measure aims to prevent Russia from using alternative payment methods to circumvent sanctions. In the same vein, support for the development of certain Russian cryptoassets such as the digital ruble is also prohibited.

    Financial intermediaries are required, according to the provisions of the ordinance, to implement the prohibitions, to freeze the patrimonial values of sanctioned persons and to announce the business relations concerned to SECO. The announcement made to the SECO does not exempt financial intermediaries from making, in case of suspicion, additional clarifications within the meaning of art. 6 LBA and, if they are unable to dismiss them, immediately make a communication within the meaning of Article 9 LBA to the Office of Communication on Money Laundering.

    Updated sanctions notice: ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Kaida

    The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has published an amendment to the list of sanctioned natural persons, companies and organizations under the Ordinance of 21 March 2025 on measures against persons and organizations associated with the organizations ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Kaida (SR 946.231.08).

    By decision of 18 August 2026, the competent UN Sanctions Committee amended the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO has therefore updated SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), the sanctions database that is authoritative for Switzerland, on 19 August 2026, and has published the update on its website.

    Financial intermediaries are required, in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance, to implement the prohibitions, freeze the assets of the 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 pursuant to Art. 6 AMLA in the event of suspicion and, if such suspicion cannot be dispelled, to file a report without delay with the Money Laundering Reporting Office pursuant to Art. 9 AMLA.

    The update:

    Ordinance on measures against certain persons, groups, undertakings and organizations associated with the organizations ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Kaida – Art. 3 para. 1 and 2 (Financial sanctions) and Art. 4 (Entry and transit ban). Origin: UN
