Aktualisierte Sanktionsmeldung: ISIL (Da'esh) und Al-Kaida
Why this matters
The notice is a SECO-driven update to the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida sanctions list, which applies directly in Switzerland and requires intermediaries to implement prohibitions, freeze assets and report affected relationships to SECO. It also restates AML duties under Art. 6 and Art. 9 GwG (further checks and reporting to MROS), which supports the AML / Financial Crime topic. The text applies across financial intermediaries rather than to one segment, so General and All Firms are used. The FINMA navigation and brochure text in the content does not bear on the substance and was disregarded. Urgency is critical because the freezing obligation takes effect immediately upon the list change.
