Afghan central bank governor Abdul Qadeer Fitrat flees

How Nice, where does a possibly corrupt Banking official from Afghanistan go when he flees his country... America, home of corrupt banking officials.

This is just what we need, the Obamasiah will shoot him right up the corporate ladder in the banking system here.
look out Bernanke, your job may be on the line.

The governor of Afghanistan's central bank, Abdul Qadeer Fitrat, has resigned and fled the country, saying his life is in danger for investigating fraud.

He said the government had interfered in his efforts to pursue those responsible for corruption at the privately-owned Kabul Bank.

Mr Fitrat was speaking from the US where he has residency. He says he will not return to Afghanistan.

An Afghan government spokesman said the resignation amounted to treason.

Waheed Omar, Afghan President Hamid Karzai's spokesman, also added that Mr Fitrat was himself under investigation.

The embezzlement at Kabul Bank, Afghanistan's largest private bank, almost led to its collapse last year.
