OT ON THE POLITICAL FRONT, Mr. Yeltsin's problems in Russia today are about to become a good deal worse as bank in Lugano, Switzerland, Banca del Gottardo, reported this morning that it had indeed been asked to "guarantee" the credit cards of Mr. Yeltsin and his family. The bank reports that the Swiss company Mabatex, in the past rumoured to be at the bottom of corruption charges centring upon Mr. Yeltsin and him family, asked that credit cards be issued for Yeltsin and his daughters (and very probably for his son-in-law), and that the cards be guaranteed. Mr. Yeltsin has consistently denied any and all corruption charges, and has denied having had any business relationship with del Gottardo. The Bank's own legal department now says that Yeltsin did indeed have business relations with the bank, making Mr. Yeltsin's denials all the more difficult to believe.
