Switzerland, 1932 to 2026. A country with honest police and little violent crime has spent ninety years keeping other people's money, some of it dirty: a drug ring's cash in Zurich, the millions a Swiss court confiscated in the case of a dictator's daughter, the bribes a former bankers' association president admitted paying to the head of Kuwait's pension fund. Its courts have lately begun to convict, and to acquit, settle and run out of time. This book follows the money to the courtroom in Bellinzona and asks what became of those who took it. Covers Credit Suisse and the Bulgarian trafficker Evelin Banev, Pierre Mirabaud and Kuwait's pension fund, Marc Rich and Glencore, Trafigura and Michael Wainwright, Lombard Odier and Gulnara Karimova, and Michael Lauber and FIFA.
