Swiss banking association denies any dealings with Kim Jong-il

An official of Switzerland’s banking industry denied accusations that the country’s banks are involved in dealings with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-il, saying such involvement would taint the industry’s image, a report said.

“There is no way a Swiss bank would be running a bank account for Kim Jong-il knowing that he is a dictator. The reputational risk is simply too high,” James Nason, a spokesman for the Swiss Bankers’ Association, told Washington-based Radio Free Asia (RFA) on Friday.
