FINMA notifies updated DRC sanctions under SR 946.231.12
FINMA relayed SECO's amendment to Annex 1 of the 22 June 2005 Ordinance on measures against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (SR 946.231.12).
SECO has amended the DRC sanctions annex, which FINMA-supervised institutions must reflect in screening controls. Changes to designated persons or entities require prompt list updates and transaction filtering recalibration to avoid sanctions breaches.
Sanctions list changes create immediate compliance obligations for Swiss financial institutions and cross-border correspondents exposed to DRC-linked flows.
Action Required
Update sanctions screening lists and rescreen client and counterparty portfolios against the amended DRC designations.
Sanctions updates directly affect AML/CFT and financial crime controls across Swiss and international institutions.
Ingest updated SECO DRC Annex 1 into sanctions screening; rescreen customer base and payments; document control refresh and any resulting alerts for audit trail.
“SECO published an amendment to Annex 1 of the Ordinance of 22 June 2005 on measures against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (SR 946.231.12).”
