Orlin Grabbe</A> ----- Joseph Lieberman's Bible Tale of Bill and Monica "If I had a hammer . . ." And Monica went out to meet Bill, and said unto him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not." And when he had turned in unto her in the tent, she covered him with a mantle. . . . Again, Bill said unto Monica, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, 'Is there any man here', that thou shalt say, 'No.' " Then Monica took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. Judges 4:18-21 Money Laundering British Banks Laundering Money through Liechtenstein Time to shut down London, the world's money-laundering capital. BRITISH banks have been involved in the laundering of money through Liechtenstein, a special prosecutor said yesterday. Kurt Spitzer was speaking after an eight-month investigation into claims that the principality was a hotbed of laundering for organised crime, including Russian gangs and South American drug cartels. Mr Spitzer, who was brought in by Liechtenstein from Austria to investigate allegations made in a leaked German intelligence report last year, produced his findings in the capital, Vaduz. He dismissed most of the claims as rubbish. He said: "I have observed that most assets that wound up in the principality to be laundered had already been 'pre-washed' in other countries. This ought to serve as a reminder to those countries which are now pointing the figure at the principality." In particular, he cited transfers of dubious funds from banks in Britain, America, Switzerland and Luxembourg. He said bankers in those countries had failed to exercise due diligence. He said: "In all, I can say that white-collar crime in Liechtenstein is no different [from that] in other European countries." But he was critical of the principality's failure to act promptly on international requests for tracking down money launderers. He said the authorities involved were too bureaucratic, inefficient and short-staffed. Two judges are now under investigation for obstructing the course of justice. Mr Spitzer disclosed that a money-laundering investigation was under way against Herbert Batliner, a prominent Liechtenstein financial manager who has been implicated in the slush-fund scandal involving Germany's former chancellor, Helmut Kohl, and his Christian Democratic Union. Mr Batliner, 72, is suspected of stashing away millions of pounds in undeclared CDU donations via a web of offshore trusts. He has declined to comment. Liechtenstein is toughening its laws and boosting manpower to fight financial crime. London Telegraph, September 1, 2000 ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
