When European property markets sagged, the roof caved in. Late in April, Munoz' two Swiss banks applied for-and got-government permission to close down operations for a year. In May, his bank in Rome also was given a one-year moratorium. One of Munoz' cronies, Hermann Hug, president of the St. Gallen bank and a director of the Rome bank, was arrested on charges of swindling. Last week the Swiss police...
