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

    Reminiscent of when Paypal froze all payments to Julian Assange.
    Justice is an illusion.

    Illicit origin? Wasn’t that the whole point of a swiss bank account?

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

    Didn’t the Bank of England do that years ago? Were those funds ever released?

      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.

    Okay, but I’m not so sure about calling Maduro a socialist.

        We can call him a lot of basically untrue things if you want. Let’s call him a sentient mushroom.
        Or we can call him a failed evil dictator that was kidnapped by a not yet failed evil dictator
