      Prime Minister

      Bank Frick & Co., founded in 1998, specializes in wealth management and investment advice. The firm managed about 3.5 billion Swiss francs ($3.9 billion) of assets on behalf of clients at the end of 2012, according to its website. The company’s chairman is Mario Frick, who was prime minister of Liechtenstein from 1993 to 2001.
      Bank Frick was previously partly owned by Bawag PSK Bank AG, the Austrian lender that almost collapsed because of its links with failed U.S. futures firm Refco Inc. Bawag owned 26 percent and Refco had a 4 percent holding, according to a report by the Austrian Press Agency. After Austrialed a bailout of Bawag in 2006, the company sold its stake in Bank Frick, according to a paper published the following year on the European Commission’s website.
      Hermann is a fund manager who has been embroiled in a dispute with the Liechtenstein government and Bank Frick for many years, according to Radio 1.

      Hermann Finance

      The Liechtenstein government and the country’s Financial Market Authority “illegally destroyed my investment company Hermann Finance and its funds, depriving me of my livelihood,” according to awebsite registered under the name Juergen Hermann of Hermann Finance AG.
      He has filed lawsuits seeking recovery of 200 million Swiss francs from the government and 33 million francs from Bank Frick, according to the website. The lender “illegally enriched itself,” among other alleged crimes, it said.
      A representative of Hermann’s lawyer declined to comment when reached by telephone. A call to an office telephone number listed on Hermann Finance’s website was answered by an employee of a law firm who said his company isn’t related to Hermann Finance.
      Hermann had been “publicly hostile” to the country’s Financial Market Authority and some of its employees, forcing it to take security measures in consultation with the police, FMA spokesman Beat Krieger said in an e-mail today.
      Liechtenstein, a country of 36,800 people wedged between Switzerland and Austria, hasn’t seen a homicide since 2011, when three people lost their lives to crime, police said in their annual report. Bank Frick is one of 17 lenders in the Alpine country, according to the Liechtenstein Banking Association.

    Supervisory Board on Austrian: An Essay on the BAWAG scandal

    As BAWAG affair that became known in March 2006 loss of shops are Austrian Bank for Labour and Economic Development AG (BAWAG) refers.
    BAWAG affair led to the resignation of OGB -President Fritz Verzetnitsch and the BAWAG-chairman Günter Weninger . The new union leadership to Hundstorfer decided to BAWAG to sell. The total sale of union bank, however, was controversial for the time being within the OGB. However, as a debt of the Austrian Trade Union Federation (OGB) was caused by over 2 billion euros in the wake of the BAWAG scandal that BAWAG had entirely to the U.S. fund Cerberus Capital Management sold in order to avoid insolvency of the Austrian Trade Union Federation. End quote Wikipedia
    Comment: In the case BAWAG Psk there was a total failure of the Supervisory Board.
    In October 2005, Refco's losses (U.S. broker) could no longer be concealed, there was a special meeting of the BAWAG Supervisory Board.


    Not only Günter Weninger, but also other variables of the Austrian Trade Union Federation were represented on the Supervisory Board of the Bank scandal.

    Was quite secretive, the government accounts were (the accounts of the federal ministries, the Ministry of Finance, the tax authorities) are all on BAWAG PSK accounts "offset" and accounted. This means that the total tax revenue of the Republic go ("Budget") in the amount of about 62 (official) billion euros through these accounts. In a liability would be (and probably is) the BAWAG scandal came to the taxpayer very expensive.






    In 2007 the State Bank was sold to the U.S. company CERBERUS (= three-headed hellhound from antiquity).



    Some bank chiefs as Elsner and Co were convicted. Some board members are now highly respected minister or the board of the Austrian Trade Union Federation.

    Pawn sacrifice one must always find - even within their own political party!
