[Switzerland Freezes Assets of Maduro and His Associates for Four Years] The Swiss Federal Council announced that it has frozen all assets held in Switzerland by Venezuelan President Maduro and his associates. This measure takes effect immediately and will remain in place for four years, aiming to prevent the potential outflow of illicit assets. This action complements the sanctions Switzerland has imposed on Venezuela since 2018. The Swiss authorities stated that the freezing measures do not affect current members of the Venezuelan government and pledged to seek the return of any illegally obtained funds to benefit the Venezuelan people if discovered.
