According to the Swiss Federal Police Office, the suspected number of money laundering cases in 2010 increased by over 30% on the 2009 totals, while the amount of assets involved in the cases dropped by 50% to $964 million, on par with the 10-year average.
As in previous years, the banking sector recorded more suspected cases than the payment services sector, with a major bank and a foreign-controlled bank among those cases suspected of bribery and criminal mismanagement. The number of suspected terrorist-funding cases also doubled between 2009 and 2010, although eight of the thirteen SARs (Suspected Activity Report) involved only three cases.
