Aktualisierte Sanktionsmeldung: ISIL (Da'esh) und Al-Kaida
Why this matters
FINMA is relaying a SECO notice that a UN Sanctions Committee amendment took direct effect in Switzerland on 27 October 2026. The text imposes concrete obligations: implement prohibitions, freeze assets of listed persons, and report affected business relationships to SECO. It also states that a SECO report does not replace further AML checks under Art. 6 AMLA or a report to MROS under Art. 9 AMLA. The boilerplate about FINMA's enforcement powers and brochure is not substantive. The obligations are addressed to financial intermediaries generally, so 'All Firms' and 'General' sector apply. Urgency is high because the freeze and reporting duties are time-sensitive.
