Swiss govt adopts new measures concerning Abacha loot
The detection and subsequent repatriation of the Abacha loot from Swiss banks has forced the Swiss government to adopt pragmatic measures that have made the country‘s financial sector more transparent.
Mr. Nicolas Lang, Swiss Ambassador covering Ghana, Benin and Togo disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday at the ongoing Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, Ghana.
Lang said that the processes that led to returning the money to the Nigerian government had gradually become a model for the world to rate and see Swiss banks as some of the most transparent and credible financial institutions globally.
“The Swiss government put in a lot of efforts including contesting against fierce litigation from the Abacha family to restitute the fund.
“Missing state monies ending up in our banks is detrimental to our image and Swiss financial sector reputation.”
He said that mechanism had been put in place to enable the government and operators in the country‘s financial sector to detect stolen monies from developing countries.
He observed that it was very difficult to monitor the entrance of such funds but assured that “any fund discovered will be immediately repatriated.”
The ambassador also said that the country was able to return recently stolen funds by a former Malian President.
“The Swiss government even went further to offset the legal fees that made it possible for the funds to be repatriated to Mali,” he said.
In the case of Nigeria, Lang revealed that all funds traced to Abacha in Swiss banks were completely repatriated under a Swiss government, World Bank and Nigerian government arrangement.
“The arrangement was that the three groups will ensure effective monitoring and utilisation of the funds as well as make sure it was put to good use,” Lang said.

NEWS UPDATE: End of an era for the 'accidental' porn star
AMATEUR sex tapes are credited with stealing customers from pornographers, but the wealth of inadvertently leaked material may be about to run dry.
Co-author of Australian study The Porn Report, Dr Kath Albury, said people would become much more wary of what they let out of the bedroom after seeing the possible ramifications.
"The technology has probably gotten ahead of us here and the penny hasn't dropped yet for a lot of people posting this material yet," Dr Albury said.
"But they will come to realise there is still a lot of stigma attached to it.
"You and your friends may not have a problem with it but your parents or your employers could and once the image is out there you can't get it back."

NEWS UPDATE: Nigerian Man to Divorce 86 Wives
A Nigerian religious leader with 86 wives has accepted an Islamic decree ordering him to divorce all but four of them, local authorities say.
A spokesman for the emir of Bida told the BBC that Mohammadu Bello Abubakar, 84, agreed on Saturday to comply with the decree.
Last week one of Nigeria's top Islamic bodies, the Jamatu Nasril Islam, sentenced him to death.
The sentence was lifted but he was threatened with eviction from his home.
Earlier, Mr Abubakar had challenged Islamic scholars, saying there was no punishment stated in the Koran for having more than four wives.
"I have not contravened any established law that would warrant my being banished from the land... There is no law that says one must not marry more than four wives," the AFP news agency reported him as saying.
"All my wives are with children and some of these are people I have married and stayed with for over 30 years. How can they expect me to leave them within two days?" he reportedly told local newspapers.
The former teacher and Islamic preacher lives in Niger State with his wives and at least 170 children.
Niger is one of the Muslim majority states to have reintroduced Sharia punishments since 2000.
Several people have been sentenced to death for adultery by Sharia courts but none of these sentences have been carried out.
