      Point being that Switzerland actually does not give a shit about such things. Famously it kept most of the gold the nazis stashed there.

        They did pay for the gold and paid reparations after the war and in 1990 of around 20% in today’s value and returned 15% of the gold.

        We can call him a lot of basically untrue things if you want. Let’s call him a sentient mushroom.

      Nah, those days are over, for a decade or so already. Swiss bank accounts are now just as open as any other countries. Switzerland is just a US dog.

      Not sure about Maduro-owned funds, but I read yesterday about the Bank of England freezing access to a chunk of the Venezuelan gold reserve in 2018. That action has been going through UK courts for years.
