Aktualisierte Sanktionsmeldung: Nicaragua
Why this matters
The document is a FINMA republication of a WBF/SECO notice that amended the Nicaragua sanctions list and updated the SESAM database, effective 3 November 2026 at 23:00. It requires financial intermediaries to implement prohibitions, freeze assets of listed persons, and report affected business relationships to SECO. It also restates AML duties under Art. 6 and Art. 9 GwG (additional clarification and reporting to MROS). The obligations are time-bound, so urgency is high. The subject is cross-cutting across financial intermediaries, so 'General' is used for sector and 'All Firms' for firm type. The only topic clearly supported is sanctions and AML/financial crime compliance.
