Money laundering: Twice as many reports as two years ago
The number of reports received by the Money Laundering Reporting Office Switzerland (MROS) has been rising substantially for years. Since the introduction of the goAML 2020 information system, the volume of data has almost tripled.
Compared to the previous year, MROS recorded a 27.5 per cent increase in suspicious activity reports in connection with money laundering and terrorist financing. MROS analyses the reported cases and supplements them with its own information. It decides on a case-by-case basis whether or not to report the offence to a law enforcement agency.
In its annual report (to be published on the 1st of May 2025), MROS uses statistics and background information to provide an in-depth insight into its tasks in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
