Switzerland has frozen assets held in the country by Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro and associates, the Swiss government said on Monday, following his arrest by U.S. forces in Caracas and transfer to the United States.
A spokesperson for the Swiss Foreign Ministry said the order affects 37 people. The spokesperson said the ministry could not provide any details on the value of the assets in question.
Yeah - the question really is why that money was allowed to be in Switzerland all those years.
Because Maduro wasn’t sanctioned by a body that Switzerland recognizes as binding.
However now that he’s fallen, they are freezing his money to give it back to the country when it asks for it.
