Dili residents return home
DILI, East Timor (AP) — With
East Timor’s capital secured by an
international peacekeeping force,
Dili residents returned from
makeshift refugee camps yesterday
to find a looted, burned city.
There was almost no water and
no electricity. All the windows were
smashed, most buildings had been
burned down and the only signs of
life were the throngs of homeless at
the city’s dockside.
Even the hunched vendors who
used to sell soft drinks from rickety
carts outside the port were gone.
“Indonesia will have to pay
reparations for the loss of our
hometown,” 34-year-old Filomena
Bianco said.
Jose Alexandre “Xanana” Gus-
mao, the feisty East Timorese in
dependence leader, said he never
expected his foes were prepared to
destroy East Timor before aban
doning it.
“We didn’t suspect the violence
would take such dimensions,” he
said yesterday while visiting
refugees who were evacuated to the
northern Australian town of Darwin.
Tanks, trucks and armored per
sonnel carriers rumbled off warships
yesterday in East Timor, and troops
from 10 countries poured in for the
second day without resistance from
pro-Indonesia militias.
'We didn't suspect
the violence would
take such dimen
sions."
— Jose Alexandre Gusmao
East Timorese
independence leader
About 3,000 multinational troops
will be on the ground by today, near
ly half the total contingent of 7,500.
But force commander Maj. Gen.
Peter Cosgrove cautioned that the
rest of East Timor will not be under
full control for some weeks and will
remain dangerous until then, partic
ularly with villages still burning.
He said his troops were to begin
moving outside the capital on today.
“It is too early for us to assert that
the security situation overall is any
thing approaching benign,” Cos
grove said.
The multinational force is at
tempting to restore order to a
province where militias — aided by
some elements in the Indonesian
army — engaged in a campaign of
arson, terror and murder, driving
tens of thousands of people from
their homes.
Human rights workers and
refugees say hundreds, perhaps
thousands of people, were killed.
The militias had hoped to nullify
an Aug. 30 vote, in which nearly 80
percent of the East Timorese people
opted for independence from In
donesia.
Indonesia invaded East Timor in
1975 after Portugal abandoned its
former colony.
The peacekeepers’ task of secur
ing the entire province is daunting in
a jungle climate filled with rugged
hills and mountains.
In many villages, troops may
have to conduct house-by-house
searches to flush out the militias.
Bank funds frozen in laundering case
BERN, Switzerland (AP) — Swiss banks have
frozen $16.8 million in Russian accounts suspect
ed to be linked to the Bank of New York money
laundering case, officials said yesterday.
Folco Galli, spokesperson for the Federal Office for
Police Affairs, told the Associated Press the banks had
reported the action as required under a new Swiss law.
Under the 1998 law, banks are required to freeze
accounts and report their action to the Swiss govern
ment when they have well-founded suspicion of mon
ey-laundering.
Galli said “a number of such reports" had been re
ceived in the Bank of New York case.
American investigators reportedly believe that up
to $10 billion was illegally channeled by the Russian
mob through the Bank of New York, possibly includ
ing loans from the International Monetary Fund.
No one has been charged, but the case has been de
scribed as potentially one of the biggest money-laun
dering affairs ever uncovered in the United States.
Galli said federal authorities had referred “about a
dozen” reports of bank accounts to cantonal (state)
authorities in Geneva, who are conducting the main
Swiss investigation into money-laundering and cor
ruption from Russia.
He stressed that the federal office only acted as a
relay point and that so far the banks had only operat
ed on a basis of suspicion.
Swiss authorities have expressed eagerness to help
the United States in its Bank of New York case as soon
as U.S. authorities send a request for judicial assis
tance, but Galli said so far no such request had been
received.
Under international treaties the Swiss must receive
such a request before they can start investigating.
Daniel Devaud, the investigating judge looking into
allegations of money-laundering in connection with
Russian corruption, told The Associated Press Tues
day that he had found no direct link between the Bank
of New York case and a Swiss construction company
that had carried out work for the Kremlin.
He said names of companies which were linked to
the Bank of New York case had also appeared during
the investigation of that affair.
Last January, Swiss authorities raided the Mabetex
construction company in Lugano in connection with
suspicions that several high-ranking Russian officials
received “a great deal of money” for helping the firm
get large contracts for renovating the Kremlin.
