NATO Official Arrested For Fraud

-Nato sources told ANP that the Dutch suspect worked
as an assistant to an official who acted as Nato chief
Lord Robertson's advisor on central and eastern
European affairs. 


AMSTERDAM � A Dutch official working for Nato in
Brussels has been arrested in connection with an
alleged plot to launder EUR 200 million in drugs
money. 

The FIOD financial investigation unit confirmed to
news agency ANP on Thursday that the man was
immediately extradited to the Netherlands following
his arrest on 3 February 2003. He faces charges of
money laundering and falsifying documents. 

 
FIOD would not comment on the details of the
allegations the man faced or on the identity of three
other people arrested. 

Nato sources told ANP that the Dutch suspect worked as
an assistant to an official who acted as Nato chief
Lord Robertson's advisor on central and eastern
European affairs. 

The Dutch suspect organised seminars and group visits
for Nato. He did not have diplomatic immunity, but the
Dutch Justice ministry sought Lord Robertson's
permission to investigate the case. 

Belgian news wire RVI reported that Brussels police
had searched offices at the Nato headquarters in the
city in connection with the arrest of the Dutch man. 

RVI reported that the man was suspected of laundering
drug money and that the prosecution service said this
brought in profits of more than EUR 200 million. The
search of the Nato office follows a search of the
suspect's house.
