He will have no place to hide from the Serb people when they find out that the state run news service has been telling them nothing but lies.>>> How about Serbian-American, or Macedonian Serbs or Bosnian Serbs, or Greek-who is lying to them to secure support, CNN? and why it does not work?

Slob may be married to Not So Pretty face but he is not stupid... Swiss Banking Regulator Detects Money Transfer From a 'Corrupt' Country Swiss Regulator Detects Money Transfer From 'Corrupt' Country Bern, April 27 (Bloomberg) -- The ruling family of a ''corrupt'' state transferred 300 million deutsche marks ($163 million) out of Switzerland last year, the Swiss Federal Banking Commission said. The commission, which supervises Swiss banks, said it isn't allowed to name the country where the money originated or the people involved. Funds from the alleged corruption stemmed from a ''large construction project,' and flowed through a Swiss affiliate of a foreign bank over an eight- month period, the Commission said, without naming the banks. Swiss banks have been trying to improve their image following allegations of the hoarding of assets after World War II that led to a $1.25 billion payment to Jewish Groups last year by UBS AG, Europe's second-biggest bank, and others. Swiss banks have also been criticized for their secrecy, which dictators and criminal organizations have used to move money in and out of the country. Reforms in recent years have made Swiss banks more accountable, and the commission said today it forced the Swiss affiliate to change its practices. ''The money came from a very corrupt country,'' and both the foreign bank and its Swiss affiliate knew of the origin of the funds, said Daniel Zuberbuehler, the commission's director, at a Bern press conference. The handling of funds known to originate from corrupt practices is against Swiss banking law, the commission said, and the Swiss affiliate has been forced to replace several of its officials, though it continues to do business in Switzerland. Earlier this month, French authorities asked Switzerland for help in their investigation of Swiss banking transactions on behalf of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's family, Swiss newspapers reported. ©1999 Bloomberg L.P.

Mr Sicko---<<<What a great legacy of destruction has been caused to Yugoslavia because of this tyrant. >>> Last time I looked it was NATO causing that destruction--- But of course I don't have your dyslexic viewpoint.... There is no country on earth capable and willing to deal out the destruction of the US war machine, and most certainly not a single man no matter what you call him....Your kind of thinking could easily justify killing a whole school full of kids because of a teacher that you didn't like.
