Updated sanctions notification: Sudan
The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research
EAER has published an amendment to the annex to the Ordinance of 25
May 2005 on measures against Sudan (SR 946. 231. 18).
By
decision of 8 November 2024, the competent committee of the UN
Security Council amended the list of sanctioned persons, companies and
organisations. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. On
12 November 2024, SECO therefore amended the SESAM (SECO Sanctions
Management) sanctions database, which is relevant for Switzerland, and
published the change on its website.
In accordance with the
provisions of the Ordinance, financial intermediaries are required to
implement the prohibitions, freeze the assets of the sanctioned
persons and report the affected business relationships to SECO.
Reporting to SECO does not release a financial intermediary from
carrying out additional investigations in accordance with Art. 6 AMLA
in the event of suspicions and, if it is unable to dispel them, from
immediately submitting a report to the Money Laundering Reporting
Office in accordance with Art. 9 AMLA.
