Bhutto faces tougher Swiss dirty money charges GENEVA, Friday (Reuters) Pakistan's former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who successfully appealed a Swiss money laundering conviction last year, has been indicted again on fresh and more serious charges, an investigating magistrate said. Bhutto, who denies the charges as well as any links to $13.8 million frozen in Swiss accounts, was indicted at a closed-door hearing in Geneva where she appeared on Wednesday, Christine Junod said. "I informed her of the indictment on the aggravated charge, money-laundering by profession," Junod told Reuters. Under Swiss law, the heavier charge alleged "significant profit or revenue from the profession of money-laundering", according to the magistrate who quoted the penal code. |
