Switzerland’s government has announced the immediate freezing of all possible assets of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his close associates in the country. The Swiss Federal Council stated in a statement that the purpose of this decision is to prevent possible asset flight. In a televised statement, Pedro Pederino avoided disclosing the exact number of deaths, but stated that the action was a direct attack on Venezuela’s sovereignty. The statement made it clear that if it is proven in future legal actions that the funds were obtained through illegal means, Switzerland will strive to ensure that these assets are used in the best interest of the Venezuelan people. The Swiss government claims that this step was taken as a precautionary measure to address the potential consequences of any possible financial corruption. Analysts believe that this decision is of great importance in the context of increasing international pressure and recent US actions surrounding Venezuela.
