Switzerland removes seven persons from Ukraine sanctions annex
Swiss sanctions teams must remove seven delisted persons from Ukraine-sanctions screening controls
FINMA
·
Change
Switzerland amended Annex 8 of its Ukraine-related sanctions ordinance by removing seven natural persons, with the change entering into force on March 20, 2026 at 23:00.
Why it matters
The SESAM update changes the operative Swiss sanctions list under SR 946.231.176.72. Swiss financial intermediaries and sanctions-screening teams must update screening data to reflect the removal of the seven persons from Annex 8 and avoid continuing sanctions treatment after the effective time.
Implications
- — Swiss sanctions-screening teams must update customer and transaction-screening data to remove the seven persons deleted from Annex 8 from March 20, 2026 at 23:00.
- — Swiss financial intermediaries must align internal SESAM list data with the amended Annex 8 before treating affected persons as subject to the Switzerland Ukraine-related sanctions ordinance.
- — Compliance teams must preserve evidence that SESAM and screening-list changes were applied after the EAER amendment and urgent publication.
