Arafat ran 1.5 billion dollar financial network: Austrian magazine
AFP: 11/20/2004

VIENNA, Nov 20 (AFP) - The late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat controlled a 
network of companies,
investments and bank accounts with a value totalling at least 1.5 billion 
dollars (1.15 billion
euros), according to the Austrian business magazine Format.

Quoting a Central Intelligence Agency report, it said the CIA had conducted 
enquiries after
receiving information that a holding company of the Palestinian Liberation 
Organisation (PLO) had
invested nine million dollars in a small pharmaceutical company in the Canadian 
town of Belleville,
Ontario.

Format said investigators had "stepped on an anthill" when they uncovered the 
stake held by the
Palestinian Commercial Service Corporation (PCSC) in Bioniche Life Sciences, 
revealing a whole
network of PLO funds such as Chalcedony, Onyx, Evergreen, SilverHaze and Avmax 
International, the
last based in Aruba in the Caribbean.

The weekly said it had seen a file "detailing in concrete terms for the first 
time how much money
was involved."

One component of the financial network alleged to have been run by Arafat, who 
died near Paris on
November 11, indicated that Austrian interests had been involved.

Format said that, from 1998 to the Palestinian uprising of 2000, the Austrian 
bank Bawag and a group
called Casino Austria had financed a gambling casino much frequented by 
Israelis at Jericho on the
West Bank.

It said Bawag had later financed Arafat's private jet, a Challenger 604 make 
worth 23 million
dollars registered in Austria.

Format also alleged that Arafat had control over 800 million dollars in bank 
accounts in Austria,
the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
