Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg (63), who lives in Zug, weighs in at an impressive 10 billion euros. Despite his wealth, he has problems with Swiss banks. The reason: Russian is on a US blacklist. The president of the United States, Donald Trump (74), wants to pressure his Russian antipode Vladimir Putin (67). Vekselberg maintains close relations with Putin.
Vekselberg has deposited two billion francs of his fortune in Switzerland. His accounts at UBS, Credit Suisse and Julius Baer are already blocked. Now “Switzerland at the weekend” makes public that the oligarch also has an account at Postfinance.
Blocked account
According to the report, the Post Office subsidiary has now also blocked this. That doesn’t fit Vekselberg’s business at all. Therefore, you are suing the Berne Commercial Court against Postfinance. The hearing is scheduled for mid-September.
Postfinance only comments on “Switzerland at the weekend” with a detailed but ultimately meaningless sentence: “If a business relationship is inadmissible by law or due to official orders or the risks are unacceptable, we can reject it despite the mandate of basic service “.
Major dollar trading
Background to the caution: Postfinance is clearly afraid of being shut out of the dollar trade. And that, although as a pure Swiss bank, it is not actually directly affected by the US sanctions. (pbe)
