In a statement yesterday, the Swiss Justice Ministry said Swiss and Mexican authorities proved Raul Salinas had misappropriated the funds. The statement said the remainder of the assets will be returned to the Salinas family since the investigation did not reveal any criminal origin. The handover concludes Swiss proceedings in the case.
Swiss authorities froze about $110 million worth of funds in 1995 when they launched a criminal investigation into Raul Salinas for alleged money laundering.
