Was it not evident at the time of deposit that this $50 million US had been stolen from the Peruvian people?

Adolf Ogi:

I see in the newspapers that Switzerland has frozen three bank accounts containing $50 million US belonging to Peru's fugitive ex-spy chief Vladimiro Montesinos.  Concerning this event, I have four questions:

(1) Was it not evident at the time of deposit that this $50 million US had been stolen from the Peruvian people?

(2) Once one of its pimp, drug-lord, gun-runner, mafia-chieftan, crooked-politician, or dictator depositors gets into trouble and Switzerland "freezes" his account, how does this differ from Switzerland confiscating the money for itself?

(3) As the per capita GDP of Peru is $4,400 US, and the per capita GDP of Switzerland is $27,100 US, is this not a case of the rich stealing from the poor?

(4) Might the day be at hand when hundreds of millions of people the world over demand reparation from Switzerland for the wealth that it has helped steal from them, and that when the damage that Switzerland has caused is calculated, it will be discovered that the total assets of Switzerland are insufficient to compensate it?  In such an event, might it not be concluded that Switzerland's 20th-century contribution to Western civilization was negative; that Switzerland had transformed itself into a dead weight holding back mankind's progress toward equity and justice; that Switzerland's role had devolved into feasting as a parasite upon the world's weak and disadvantaged?
