“The daughters of the late expat American commodity trader and financier Marc Rich have put up for sale his luxury Swiss homes in the canton of Lucerne and the mountain resort town of St. Moritz. Rich is celebrated for making a fortune in metals such as aluminum, silver and zinc by cornering the market and in dubious dealings in oil. He became a fugitive in Switzerland after being indicted in the early 1980s on charges of widespread tax evasion, illegal dealings with Iran and other crimes.”
