From NewAfrican
There is a new twist to our story of January 1997 on Gambia's missing
millions. We revealed that $3m had been stashed
away in a secret bank account in Switzerland.
The man who banked the money was Captain Ebou Jallow, who had earlier
resigned after falling out with the Gambian
military junta before going into exile.
He claimed that the money had been transferred by the Central Bank of
Gambia to the Credit Lyonnnais Suisse bank in
Geneva on the express instructions of the Head of State President Yahya
Jammeh. Jallow had been a close confidant of Jammeh and said that he had a
full power of attorney and had transferred the money on Jammeh's behalf.
This was the point at issue when the case was brought to trial one year
