Today we start a series of posts in which we will be publishing anonymized versions of the ten final administrative criminal decisions issued by SECO as part of proceedings for breaching Russian, and Belarusian, sanctions in Switzerland.
The details of these proceedings, the conduct giving rise to the fines, the process of the investigations, and the level of the fines are all not otherwise public.
These anonymized final decisions have been obtained through a Freedom of Information request to SECO, and SECO has confirmed that these anonymized versions may be published or otherwise made available.
The blog is grateful for SECO’s assistance.
We will publish the first three decisions today, three more on Monday and the final four on Tuesday of next week.
As well as the final decisions themselves (some of which are in German and some in French), we will be publishing machine translations into English for convenience. We make no representation as to the accuracy of these translations. The blacked-out redacted text in the originals is shown as “REDACTED” in the translations.
