Description

Geneva Freeport (French: Ports Francs et Entrepôts de Genève SA) is a warehouse complex in Geneva, Switzerland, for the storage of art and other valuables and collectibles. It is the oldest and largest freeport facility, and the one with the most artworks, with 40% of its collection being art with an estimated value of US$100 billion.The freeport became the preferred storage facility for international elite due to the opacity of Switzerland's storage and customs laws but has since come under scrutiny for its complicity in looted antiquities trade and money laundering schemes.
