We now hear from Swiss federal authorities that Charig, Justice rep in Munich, has been in touch with local authorities in Zurich seeking to obtain freezing of accounts.<\/p>\n 2. Local authorities referred matter to federal authorities who told them to take no action pending assurances of submission of a formal request in accordance with US\/Swiss treaty on mutual assistance in criminal matters.<\/p>\n LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 3. We understand that Charig may be enroute [en route] to Zurich. This communication by Charig and, if true, his unannounced arrival in Switz, could well embarrass us in this matter, since Swiss expect official communication via proper authority before enforcement officials undertake activities in this country.<\/p>\n Warner [Marvin L.
