    Explanation: Switzerland was neutral during WW2. That, however, did not stop them from laundering (and then retaining) vast amounts of Nazi gold.

    It is estimated that nearly 91 tonnes (100 short tons) of Nazi gold were laundered through Swiss banks, with only 3.6 tonnes (4 short tons) being returned at the end of the war.[25]
