Switzerland organized crime reporting proposal

Overview

The Swiss federal government and cantons are developing a plan to introduce mandatory reporting requirements for indicators of organized crime. This initiative seeks to prevent criminal networks—including those involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and cybercrime—from infiltrating the economy and society.

Under the proposed mandate, specific cantonal and municipal employees, such as land registry officials, food inspectors, and labor market inspectors, would be required to notify law enforcement if they encounter evidence of activities like money laundering or suspicious real estate transactions. Eva Wildi-Cortés, Director of the Federal Office of Police (Fedpol), stated that the requirement follows a consultation process. The government intends to finalize this mandate by the end of the year as part of a national action plan.
