A NEW HOME FOR RUSSIAN CAPITAL-RUSSIA

摘要

It sounds like the last chapter of a legal potboiler. Lucy Edwards, a former Bank of New York Co. executive, pleads guilty to a scheme to help spirit $7 billion out of Russia through accounts set up at the bank. Her husband, a Russian businessman, admits to participating in the scam, which U. S. prosecutors say included the laundering of a $300,000 kidnapper's ransom. In post-Soviet Russia, it's an all-too-common story. Everyone billion stays put, it can do plenty of good for this capital-starved economy.
