Commentaries: Art. 20

There are reasonable grounds for suspicion that lead to a duty to report under Article 9 paragraph 1^bisAMLA if specific evidence or several indications lead to the assumption that the means for making a cash payment originate from a criminal offence and the suspicion cannot be dispelled on the basis of additional clarifications under Article 19.
A report must also be made even if the dealer is uncertain as to what specific offence the criminal act from which the means for making a cash payment originated constitutes.
The transmission of reports is governed by Article 3a paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Ordinance of 25 August 2004¹on the Money Laundering Reporting Office Switzerland.²
