Fedpol’s main focus in 2016 was the fight against terrorism. To this end, Switzerland’s national police agency made consistent use of all the instruments at its disposal and took steps to tighten loopholes in legislation through the introduction of new statutory provisions. A crucial element of fedpol’s work, and one that has become more important than ever before in fighting crime, was cooperation with the cantons and its international partners. As a consequence, the agency expanded its network of police attachés in 2016. The Annual Report also reveals that the number of reports involving cases of suspected money laundering and terrorist financing continued to rise in 2016.
