Miami Herald Finally, Swiss banks are coming out of hiding: "' ...Swiss authorities, without any previous request from Peru, gave Peru the first warning about the Montesinos accounts in Swiss banks. Later, they followed the money trail to accounts in other countries, which we would have never been able to find on our own.'
To my surprise, other Peruvian officials and prosecutors told me the same thing. Around September last year, Swiss authorities told then-president Alberto Fujimori that they had found Montesinos accounts in Swiss banks. They gave the Peruvian government 48 hours to take the initiative and file a request for information, or Switzerland would make a public announcement on its own." Columnist Andres Oppenheimerr tells about his converstation with Justice Minister Diego Garcia Sayan about Swiss banks' initiative in cracking Montesinos's secret accounts.
