Synopsis

RTS investigates Valcambi's ties to dirty gold and its links to Kaloti in Dubai.

Synopsis

RTS Radio Télévision Suisse investigates the source of Switzerland's 'dirty' gold, focusing on Valcambi, a leading Swiss gold refinery. Valcambi is known for supplying luxury watch and jewelry brands globally. Despite its claims of using ethically-sourced gold, the investigation reveals Valcambi's connections to Kaloti, a Dubai-based gold refinery implicated in money laundering and terrorism funding. This raises questions about the true purity of Valcambi's gold, challenging the refinery's assertions since 2015 regarding its ethical sourcing practices.
