More than $880 million of Venezuelan assets have been frozen in Switzerland, the Swiss foreign ministry told AFP on Monday, for the first time providing a figure.

On January 5, a regulation blocking the assets of former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and other people linked to him entered into force.

“As of today, Swiss financial intermediaries have reported a total of 687 million Swiss francs” have been frozen in connection with the regulation, said the foreign ministry, which did not provide a breakdown of assets by owner.
