The former Chairman of a leading art insurer describes the art trade as &#171;the Wild West&#187;, calling it the &#171;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/09\/28\/arts\/international\/a-tug-of-war-over-art-sales-transparency.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last unregulated market<\/a>&#171;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switzerland is in the top five of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.admin.ch\/gov\/en\/start\/documentation\/media-releases.msg-id-57750.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most important art markets in the world<\/a>. In total, there are around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.admin.ch\/gov\/en\/start\/documentation\/media-releases.msg-id-57750.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1\u2019200 art galleries and 15 auction houses in Switzerland, as well as 500 antique dealers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The stance of the executive to money laundering risk in the art world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Council of Switzerland sees the risk of money laundering in the Swiss art market as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/de\/ratsbetrieb\/suche-curia-vista\/geschaeft?AffairId=20223104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#171;moderate&#187;<\/a>. The country\u2019s highest executive authority bases its view on a national self-assessment of money laundering risks. Therein, the Swiss evaluators primarily point to the general lack of Suspicious Transaction Reports in the art sector as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sif.admin.ch\/sif\/de\/home\/dokumentation\/fachinformationen\/bericht_kggt.html#:~:text=Seit%202017%20hat%20das%20EFD,2015%20nicht%20grundlegend%20ver%C3%A4ndert%20hat.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">key reason for the money laundering risk in the art trade being rated as moderate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, is it right to take the absence of Suspicious Transaction Reports as evidence of only moderate money laundering risks? Reports by Interpol and the FBI indicate otherwise: They find that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/Publications\/fandd\/issues\/2019\/09\/the-art-of-money-laundering-and-washing-illicit-cash-mashberg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#171;the volume of legally questionable transactions is noticeably higher [in the art sector] than in other global markets.&#187;<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switzerland\u2019s approach to risk assessment in the art trade differs significantly from the United Kingdom&#8217;s and the European Commission&#8217;s approaches. The <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/newsroom\/just\/items\/81272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EU<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theartnewspaper.com\/2022\/07\/29\/the-uk-has-updated-its-anti-money-laundering-guidanceheres-what-it-means-for-the-art-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UK<\/a> both consider their art markets at a high risk of money laundering, despite having much more stringent laws than Switzerland to keep money launderers out of the art trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the laws of the EU and the UK, art dealers are bound by counterparty due diligence obligations, if the value of a transaction or a group of linked transactions equals EUR 10&#8217;000 or more. Importantly, this duty also applies to non-cash transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switzerland\u2019s threshold for art dealer due diligence obligations stands at CHF 100\u2019000, meaning it is around ten times higher than in the EU and the UK. Furthermore, Switzerland imposes anti-money laundering obligations exclusively on cash transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Views of the industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when comparing the art dealers\u2019 views, the Swiss perspective on the threat associated with money laundering differs from internationally prevailing opinions: Globally, 65% of art collectors and 63% of art professionals <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/content\/dam\/Deloitte\/ch\/Documents\/privatemarket\/deloitte-ch-private-art-and-finance-report-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viewed money laundering as a great threat<\/a> to the art market&#8217;s reputation going forward. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/lu\/en\/pages\/art-finance\/articles\/art-finance-report.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deloitte<\/a> found that much more art collectors (47%) were in favor of government regulation in 2021, compared to just 22% in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a contrary position, the <a href=\"https:\/\/kunstmarktschweiz.ch\/startseite-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swiss Art Market Association (SAMA)<\/a> describes the tightening of money laundering rules in the art market as &#171;problematic&#187;. On its website SAMA states <a href=\"https:\/\/kunstmarktschweiz.ch\/startseite-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#171;the aim must be to stop introducing legislative projects that generate new burdens for market participants.&#187;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the international headwinds, Swiss art dealers generally appear reluctant to acknowledge money laundering risks to avoid the scrutiny of Swiss and international regulators. This may partly explain why there are virtually no Suspicious Transaction Reports filed by Swiss art dealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time for a legislative intervention?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/de\/ratsbetrieb\/suche-curia-vista\/geschaeft?AffairId=20223104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pending motion in the Swiss parliament<\/a> seeks to place further reaching due diligence obligations on art dealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Swiss lawmakers are unlikely to follow suit, unless the country were to come under more external pressure. The Swiss parliament <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/de\/ratsbetrieb\/suche-curia-vista\/geschaeft?AffairId=20223104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rejected a proposal<\/a> to lower the threshold for anti-money laundering due diligence in the trade of certain precious metals and gemstones to CHF 15\u2019000 as recently as 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasons for this voting result are difficult to discern. According to the official minutes reported of the parliamentary sessions, no parliament members presented substantive arguments against the proposal. The fact that a majority voted against the proposal shows that opinions were formed outside of the transcribed debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"detail__member\">\n\t\t<h1 class=\"detail__member--title\">Autor: Stefan Mbiyavanga<\/h1>\n\t\t<figure class=\"detail__member--img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga.jpg\" class=\"attachment-normal size-normal\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga-698x698.jpg 698w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/> -->\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.hslu.ch\/economiccrime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/stefan-mbiyavanga.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"detail__member--content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"detail__member--content--description\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stefan-mbiyavanga-483aa1176\" target=\"_blank\">Stefan Mbiyavanga<\/a> holds a PhD in law and is currently training to become a lawyer in Switzerland.
