Swiss federal prosecutors have set up a task force to pursue potential sanctions-busting and gather evidence of war crimes connected to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Pressure has increased on Switzerland - a popular destination for Moscow's elite and a holding place for Russian wealth - to more quickly identify and freeze assets of hundreds of sanctioned Russians.
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said on Tuesday it had established a task force to examine potential sanctions violations generally outside its remit and to help pursue other potential crimes.
