Statistical data on suspicious activity reports involving COVID-19 bridging loans
For statistical purposes, the Money Laundering Reporting Office Switzerland MROS gathers data on suspicious activity reports involving COVID-19 bridging loans. MROS only accepts reports from institutions that are subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Act. Reports must contain the suspicion that the reported assets originate from a felony as defined in the Swiss Criminal Code.
In contrast to the MROS statistics, those published by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO cover all cases that are in violation of the COVID-19 Loan Guarantees Act.
Not every violation of the COVID-19 Loan Guarantee Act is a felony as defined in the Swiss Criminal Code.
MROS updates the statistics on a monthly basis.
