	Adolf Ogi Letter 02 05-Jun-2000 Does Switzerland fear US trial of Lazarenko? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		What particularly interested me about these newspaper accounts is the detail that Switzerland is seeking the extradition of Pavlo Lazarenko to stand trial in Switzerland for money laundering.
		One wonders, therefore, whether the Swiss request to extradite Pavlo Lazarenko is motivated not by a desire to try him in Switzerland, but rather by a desire to not see him tried anywhere.
		In this way, Switzerland transfers into the pockets of the Swiss (whose per capita GDP in 1998 was $26,400) wealth which had been created by the sweat of Ukrainians (whose per capita GDP in 1998 was $2,200).
