The funds were unlawfully acquired to the prejudice of CONMEBOL and held on Swiss bank accounts. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) secured the forfeiture of the diverted amounts and agreed to return all the funds identified on Swiss bank accounts to their legitimate holder, CONMEBOL.

CONMEBOL was represented in these proceedings by Bär & Karrer. The team included Saverio Lembo, Anne Valérie Julen Berthod and Abdul Carrupt (all White Collar Crime/ Internal Investigation/ Litigation).
