In order to change the impression that the international community has taken refuge in its illegal assets, the Swiss Confederation government has made unremitting efforts in recent years and has put forward a law aimed at "freezing the illegal assets of politicians and restoring them to their dependent countries".

 the new law involves the freezing and returning of illegal assets. Its purpose is to actively help the assets originating countries to request the freezing and return of "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp > assets < /a >, and to cooperate with the investigation and evidence collection of these assets outflow countries, and to strengthen the existing laws and regulations, so that the Swiss government can freeze the illegal spanfer assets of corrupt officials and dictators in the quickest time, and also stipulates that the Swiss government shall not hold it for more than 10 years after freezing the illegal assets.

 the new law drafted increases the possibility of freezing illegal assets. Switzerland will more actively cooperate with the investigation and evidence collection of assets outflow countries in the future: the condition is that the relevant countries need to make a request for judicial assistance first, and Switzerland will increase cooperation with relevant countries in providing bank account information. 
At present, the Swiss government will consider freezing funds only if the relevant countries require judicial assistance or the disintegration of the state system can not make such a request. P 
 the new law also stipulates that no evidence of the illegality of corrupt officials and dictators is no longer provided by Switzerland or the country of origin of assets, but that the former officials and dictators themselves prove the legality of their assets.

In 1986, when Ferdinand Marcos, who was elected president three times in Philippines, stepped down after the election, the Swiss Confederation government first faced the dictator's illegal assets for the first time. Since then, a number of high-ranking officials in some countries have been hiding huge assets in Swiss banks. In the past 20 years, Switzerland has returned the assets of 1 billion 700 million Swiss francs to the original country of assets. 
 however, the procedure for freezing and returning illegal assets is very complicated. If the new law is passed by the Swiss Parliament, it will no doubt make the "a href=" http://pop.sjfzxm.com/popimg/xm/index.aspx "Switzerland" /a "more efficient in freezing and returning illegal assets. However, the bill has aroused fierce opposition in the middle of the Swiss people's party and other right-wing parties. They believe that "Switzerland's current laws are much better than those of other countries, and do not need a new law." Therefore, whether the bill can be passed by Congress is still unknown. 
 in addition, even if the bill passes smoothly, it does not mean that once the illegal assets haven't disappeared, the possibility of assets recovery will increase.
