Yves Rossier says Switzerland today leads the field in repatriating money illegally stashed there by corrupt rulers.

Speaking after meeting his South African counterpart Luwellyn Landers, Swiss State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Yves Rossier admits he’s fighting an uphill public relations battle.

He says in its dealings with Tunisia and Angola Switzerland’s shown its ahead of the game in repatriating dirty money.

Indeed its pulling European partners in the same direction.

The problem in repatriating stolen funds is often difficulties with the legal systems in the countries trying to recoup them.

Switzerland’s played a leading role in building tough enabling capacity in Egypt and the Philippines to help them achieve this.
