Liechtenstein: Hereditary Prince Alois, outwardly respectable.

It’s always good to put a face to a name. This is Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein, the man who heads a state that seeks to promote tax evasion and who owns the biggest supplier of corruption services within it.

The words of T.S. Elliot in Macavity: The Mystery Cat come to mind. Go read it and you’ll see what I mean.

    I thought you might like the following quote from the Wikipedia entry on Lichtenstein:

    “Recently, Liechtenstein has shown strong determination to prosecute any international money-laundering and worked to promote the country’s image as a legitimate financing center.”

    Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Itis an excellent example of the misleading articles to be found on a free-for-all site.

    The words could have been written by the Napoleon of Crime - except there never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
    He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare: at whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN’T THERE!
