Legal framework
Since the first major case involving illicitly acquired assets of politically exposed persons (PEPs) – the case of the former Philippine ruler Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s – Switzerland has been developing a robust legal mechanism to protect itself against illicitly acquired assets entering the country. The cornerstones of this mechanism are prevention and repression.
