More evidence of Bush criminality

Riggs Bank Hid Assets Of Pinochet, Report Says

The report, which includes the first account of Riggs's dealings with Pinochet, is the latest blow to an institution that once billed itself as "the most important bank in the most important city in the world." In May the bank agreed to pay $25 million in civil penalties for what federal regulators called "willful, systemic" violation of anti-money-laundering laws in its dealings with the embassies of Saudi Arabia and Equatorial Guinea. Several other federal investigations continue into the bank's activities, and Riggs has hired investment bankers to explore a sale of the company.



BTW - Johnathan Bush (GWB's uncle) is the CEO of Riggs Investments INC.

2. I wonder what the Saudi investment is with Riggs?
I wonder if "draining the financial swamp" after 9/11 would have uncovered Jonathon?
