</A> -Cui Bono?-
Interesting to note in the article about Kohl, that the political party's
money was held in an account funded by German industrialists in the 1950's
in the Union Bank of Switzerland. See the connections with Dubya's
financing and also the Bank of Boston money laundering in the 80's. Also
Pete Brewton traced proceeds from some of the looted S&Ls of the 80's into
an Isle of Jersey (UK) branch of "an obscure Swiss Bank, Bank Cantrade
Switzerland, (C.I.), Ltd., a subsidiary of Union Bank of Switzerland.
[footnote--Jack Anderson, December 1986]
"Bank Cantrade is one of the banks the CIA used to launder funds for arms
purchases, according to Robert Maxwell, a former Maryland banker who worked
on moving money around for a CIA front, Associated Traders. Maxwell, who
was an officer at First National Bank of Maryland, has alleged that he was
told by an official at Associated Traders in December 1984 to transfer
approximately $5.4 million to Bank Cantrade. The money went from a CIA
account in the Cayman Islands to Banco Sudameris in Panama to Union Bank of
Switzerland and then on to Bank Cantrade. [footnote--Associated Press, June
7, 1992]."

>From Dope, Inc., p. 75:
In fact, on February 7, 1985, Credit Suisse was caught red-handed in a
multi-bilion dollar money-laundering scheme directed out of the staid
offices of the First National Bank of Boston, the flagship institution of
the Boston Brahmins' Bank of Boston Corporation. Fortunately for the dope
bankers, the case was handled by William Weld, who collapsed 1,163 separate
documented cases of criminal felony, involving $1,218,682,281 in hot money,
laundered in and out of nine foreign banks, into a one-count indictment--for
which Bank of Boston was fined a slap-on-the-wrist $500,000 in a plea
bargain! The penalty imposed on the bank amounted to an absurd 1/20 of 1%
of the amount of money laundered in just these documented cases. Bank of
Boston chairman and chief executive officer William Brown was forced to
admit in testimony before a congressional committee early in 1985 that the
bank made enormous profits from the laundering of the dirty money--even
after the fine was paid.
The whitewashing of the Bank of Boston was accompanied by no action
whatsoever against the nine foreign correspondent banks, led by Weld's own
Credit Suisse Bank of Zurich, and including Swiss Bank Corp. of Basel, Union
Bank of Switzerland in Zurich, Barclays Bank International of New York, Bank
of Boston S.A. of Luxembourg, Bank Leu of Zurich, Die Freie Osterreichische
of Vienna, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce of Ottawa, and Standard
Chartered Bank Ltd. of New York. Meanwhile, a flood of other cases opened
up revealing the deeper role of the Bank of Boston in the international
narcoterrorist conspiracy.
