I'm happy to see Columbia leaked confidential information from this illegal (and human rights violating, mass surveillance) FIU cabal. The fact that it got them de-platformed confirms that it was a just* move.
However I'm thoroughly confused what Switzerland has to do with any of this. IIUC the cash went from Columbia to Israel, and Pegasus is an Israeli company.
* = although the cynic in me suspects their motive was geopolitical, in line with them joining South Africa in the proceedings against Israel and warm relationship with Iran, rather than a sudden deep commitment to privacy.

They may have sent requests to several FIUs, maybe Switzerland was the first (or only one) to respond. Whatever the connection is, hopefully more of Egmont's dirty laundry will get aired in the course of the investigation
I could imagine that investigating a transaction outside their country has zero priority for Switzerland, unless it the request comes from the US.
I would also expect the Israeli FIU to ignore the event. In fact I'm surprised the Israeli FIU, who was presumably notified first, would even "leak" this to other FIUs. Someone probably got fired...
Or maybe they're using one giant shared database by default, in which case I'm looking forward to the entire thing leaking. But I doubt they're that stupid.
