The financial institution Pictet has been singled out for breaches attributable to one of its asset managers in connection with the corruption case known as “Lava Jato” involving the state-owned oil company Petrobras

.

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the Swiss bank was sentenced to a fine de 2 millions CHF (plus de deux millions d' euros) par le Ministère public de la Confédération helvète pour des manquements relatifs à la lutte contre le laundering of money and the financing of terrorism.

The conviction was issued in connection with the international corruption case known as “Lava Jato”, whose epicenter is in Brazil, and which involves the state-owned oil company Petrobras.

The investigation revealed that a former Banque Pictet asset manager authorized, as part of his duties, the execution of 54 transfers between June 2010 and May 2013. These transactions, totaling more than $4.1 million, were carried out from an account opened with Banque Pictet in the name of an offshore company, including a Petrobras employee
