SWIFT abides by international law and local laws. Including those against processing money transfer requests for terrorist organizations like A/I.


SWIFT refused to shunt out the Brazilian banks that kept providing services to the public figures involved on the Bolsonaro trial last year.


"Brazilian banks" were never classified as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. It is a specific designation and law that comes with 20 year prison sentences.


Are you expecting Italian banks to be classified as terrorist organizations?


If they continue to transfer money for FTOs, yes they would be.


Yes. And SWIFT.

A US sanction is neither a local (to all of SWIFT) or international law. The question still stands.
