Large quantities of black market gold - usually gold plundered during WWII - is stored in a series of secure vaults constructed beneath Zurich's Kloten airport MAJOR SWISS BANKS are once again under international scrutiny following serious allegations that they regularly engage in a fraudulent practice that results in the disinheritance of surviving families of "sensitive" depositors - including political tyrants and figures associated with organised crime. Shaker Otwold is a senior executive of the largest Swiss bank, the Union Bank of Switzerland, and is based at the bank's branch at Kloten, a suburb of Zurich that houses Switzerland's primary international airport. It is at Kloten airport that the bulk of Switzerland's not inconsiderable shipments of black market bullion depart from and arrive to, for beneath Kloten runway is housed the country's massive, top security and very secretive bullion depository. Mr. Otwold, however, is even more mysterious than the bullion depository. Despite his immaculately printed business card bearing the impressive title Director Corporate Banking, plus his address and telephone number and a peculiar array of access codes & identification numbers - Mr. Otwold remains an unknown quantity. Officially, he does not even exist. Likewise, his close colleague, Mr. Alfed Stures Honeghen, who hails from UBS, Basel - the town that houses the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) known as the "central bankers central bank." Mr. Honeghen also brandishes an impressive looking business card that identifies him as "Director Branch Banking 11." Again there is an array of curious access and identification codes printed on his visiting card. Despite visiting certain figures in Jakarta, Indonesia, in recent years to discuss the disposition of considerable quantities of gold bullion that, in turn, possesss a rather dubious history, neither Mr. Otwald nor Mr. Honeghen can be reached at any UBS telephone number. For all intents and purposes, both gentlemen are virtual phantoms, yet both bankers are said to secretly engage in peek-a-boo finance on behalf of their bank. Accepting deposits from notoriously corrupt politicians of the order of Indonesia's President Sukarnoe and, more recently, President Suharto - not to mention foremr Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos - is highly profitable for the banks. Considerations of improprietory do not enter the equation. Swiss banks possess a grisly history of greed. This has included depriving Jews hounded by the Nazi's of their assets and even laundering gold teeth extracted in Nazi death camps. Yet there is a price to pay for doing business with national leaders who plunder the treasuries of their own countries, accept massive kickbacks and participate with unsavoury characters in other highly illegal business activities. That price is the possible discovery of the banks willing complaisance to "launder" assets that have been contaminated by theft. Such a discovery would certainly inflame the public's disfavourable reaction to the double standards that are imposed upon them in the name of banking honesty. At the very least, discovery would also make those senior banking executives who have sanctioned such activities, as accesories and thus theoretically subject to prosecution. Consequently, senior bankers Otwold and Honeghen continue to inhabit the shadows, lest they be discovered. But there is another, more alarming aspect to this sordid business. This is predicated on an intimate knowledge of human psychology and conducted under terms of a "Private Treaty" contract - a procedure that ensures that bank secrecy is maintained at all times. Once out of power, corrupt politicians and organised crime bosses can be safely disefranchised and their corrupt assets quietly sold. Proceeds from these sales are credited to the bank itself, or better still, are deposited to accounts held for the benefit of those bank executives involved. The likelihood that the depositor will try to legally contest the illegal depletion of their accounts is zero, since they would thereby be admitting their own culpability to very serious crimes. However, the safer and more durable approach is to wait for a politically sensitive client to die and then secretly attach the accounts. Disinheriting the surviving family is a far simpler option, since the banks can - and regularly do - simply state that deposit certificates and other proof of account papers are fraudulent. Consequently, those attemtpting to gain access to the accounts are denounced to the police as criminals. Arrested, tried and convicted following charges brought by a major Swiss bank, it is not unusual for members of the remaining family - or more likely their intermediaries - to face substantial terms in prison. This tried and tested procedure is well known within European legal circles that specialise in bank fraud cases. Nor is it likely to occur without the knowledge of Swiss government officials who are content to turn a blind eye to the activity. Cheese, chocolates and Cuckoo clocks may be in demand throughout the world, but it is banking that provides Switzerland with one of the higestest per capita standards of living in the western world. One reason, perhaps, why an increasing number of the super rich and criminally inclined have choosen to spread the risk by depositing their assets with a wide range of international banks. ___________________ Part Two featured in next issue - the 700 tonne "Private Treaty" UBS gold deal that sent an innocent man to prison Copyright 1999 ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
