Alleged CIA spy hid Swiss bank funds in disclosure gap
CIA officer Harold J. Nicholson was denied bail after prosecutors disclosed a $61,000 Swiss bank account at Bank Leu not reported on financial forms. Judge Jones cited flight risk and possible unreported information. Nicholson plans to plead innocent on December 2 as defense questions the government’s interpretation. The account was frozen by Swiss authorities and linked to alleged Russian payoffs totaling up to $180,000.
