The Swiss government has concluded plans to return $380 million to
Nigeria, which is part of money stashed in Swiss banks by former
dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha while he was in power.
Geneva prosecutors said today Tuesday March 17th that they ordered the money seized in
Luxembourg starting in 2006 & was officially confiscated last year following an agreement between Nigeria
and the Abacha family under which FG dropped its
case against Abacha's son, Abba Abacha.
Switzerland has previously returned to Nigeria more than $700 million
that Abacha stashed in Swiss accounts. If the Swiss government makes
this new cash return, it would bring the total amount of Abacha's loot
returned so far to $1.080 billion.
