Kreuger Affair Spurs Plans for International Inquiry
Stockholm reports new developments in the Kreuger affair as investigators prepare a four lawyer six detective Breuger department of police to probe globally including the United States. Arrests are expected, with probes extending to New York Berlin Paris Amsterdam and Geneva. Forged Italian bonds worth about 100 million dollars allegedly printed under Kreuger direction were found to lack signatures or numbers. Forty two treasury bonds for five hundred thousand pounds each were forged by Breuger and he is named as responsible for their presence in a private sale. The forged signature of Brelli for the Italian monopolies board was poorly done and the aura of romance around the Swedish financier has faded since his death by his own hand.
