Switzerland Eyes Joining Global Anti-Kleptocracy Task Force

Switzerland is contemplating joining a British-led task force targeting kleptocrats and recovering stolen assets, aiming to distance itself from its reputation as a haven for dirty money.

Currently with observer status, Switzerland is reviewing potential cooperation options with the International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC), a move that could enhance its role in international financial investigations.

As part of a broader effort to improve transparency and shed its image as a safe haven for illicit funds, Switzerland's participation is seen as invaluable in the fight against global corruption and financial crime.
