...been back in the news--staging a boardroom coup to seize control of one of Switzerland's biggest property-management companies. This corporate drama brought another wave of unwanted attention to Zug, the picturesque and very private town where Rich works. But Zug has a lot more to offer than a chance to spot the elusive financier. Otherwise, why would 19,456 companies and subsidiaries locate offices there...
...maximum tax on corporate profits in Zug is 17.8%, as compared with 25% elsewhere in Switzerland, 18% in Liechtenstein and 39% in the U.S. "We offer not only fiscal conditions that are attractive to these companies but also an efficient, business-friendly infrastructure," says Franziska Holzgang, head of Zug's Economic Promotion Board.

After a reading of a detainee's file, the panel then recommends whether to continue holding the person or not, though final release authority rests with the U.S. commander of detention operations, Major General Douglas Stone...
Detainees who remain in U.S. custody can try again for release in six months by going in person before the Multi-National Force Review Committee, a panel of U.S. officials who sometimes consult with Iraqi authorities on cases. This panel can offer a recommendation as well, but Stone still has the final say. Any detainee considered likely to take part in violence continues to be held, with an opportunity to appeal the decision every six months...
