Credit Suisse Freezes Over $19 Billion in Russia-Linked Funds

Credit Suisse, a major Swiss financial services company, has announced that it has taken action to freeze over $19 billion in Russian money in response to the implementation of Western sanctions.

The move is part of a broader effort by Western countries to pressure Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and to limit its access to global financial markets.

According to the SonntagsZeitung newspaper, some of the frozen funds belong to the Russian Central Bank or the Russian state.

For many years, Switzerland has been a popular destination for elites from Russia and other former Soviet countries looking to move their wealth to a country with looser banking regulations.

However, recent sanctions have made it increasingly difficult for Russians to access the global financial system, with many Western banks now closing their doors to them./ REL
