In addition to these 7.5 billion francs in Swiss bank accounts, the federal government has also blocked 15 properties in six cantons. In addition, at the end of November, 121 persons or banks reported 7,548 business relations to the State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (Seco) in connection with the sanctions against Russia. This corresponds to CHF 46.1 billion, as Seco announced to the media in Bern on Thursday.
There were 294 notifications related to the sanctions against Belarus, which corresponds to a value of CHF 0.4 billion. According to Seco, these reported accounts belong to unsanctioned individuals. The accounts are not blocked. Rather, it is about getting an overview of Russian and Belarusian funds in Switzerland, it said.
The limit is CHF 100,000
It is prohibited to accept deposits from Russian nationals or natural and legal persons residing in Russia if the total value of the deposits per person exceeds CHF 100,000. Existing deposits of more than 100,000 francs had to be reported to Seco in early June. (SDA)
