Offshore banker John Deuss is ‘head of criminal organization’, claim Dutch investigators

Dutch investigators suspect offshore banker and oil trader John Deuss of being in charge of a criminal organization, his attorney told a Bermuda court yesterday.The revelation came during a hearing at which his attorneys were attempting for a second time to over-turn a Bermuda magistrate’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for 64-year-old Deuss on October 2, 2006. Deuss has been in hiding since then and Bermuda police have appealed to the public for help in trying to locate him. The total area of Bermuda is just 21 square miles.
