Suíça se junta à força-tarefa para combater fluxo de dinheiro do Hamas
The Counter terrorist Financing Taskforce - Israel (CTFTI) was set up after Hamas's attack against Israel on October 7.
+ Swiss government decides to ban Hamas
A statement published by the US Treasury Department on Monday showed that Switzerland is a member of the taskforce, together with Israel, the United States, Australia, Canada, Estonia, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
+ How easy is it for Switzerland to declare Hamas a terrorist organisation?
One of the main aims of the CTFTI is to pool and strengthen efforts to combat international financial flows to Hamas, according to the US Treasury. The anti-money laundering authorities of each member country are active in the taskforce.
Switzerland is represented by the Money Laundering Reporting Office (MROS), overseen by the Federal Office of Police (fedpol).
