THE GREAT DERATIZATION
By Matthew Temme
Over the years I have continued my research on Fribourg from afar. I have seen Kleptocrats, like Ferinand Marcos, Pavel Lazarenko, and Teodorin Obiang use the Catholic city to defraud their poor compatriots. I have seen financial fraudsters such as Bernie Cornfeld and Vincent Lacrois who have destroyed people’s pensions set up business in the Zaehringan’s “Free City.” I have also seen traffickers in chemical and nuclear weapons such as Hans-Joachim Rose and Safa Haboby quietly establish their evil operations under Fribourg’s black and white flag. Even union-bashing coal-mine owners from Canada and the United States, such as the notorious Clifford Frame from Nova Scotia and the wealthy Drummond family from Alabama, the very culprits that Pope Leo XIII was so critical of in the 19th century, have set up shell operations in the shadow of Fribourg’s beloved St. Nicholas Cathedral.
