Kim Jong-un has at least U.S.$1 Billion at Secret Accounts in European Banks
(AriangNews) Meanwhile, a U.S. daily says North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his family are secretly holding at least one billion U.S. dollars in European bank accounts.
Citing intelligence officials, The Washington Times reported that Kim has secret accounts in several banks in Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg.
North Korea is known to have debts worth some 14 billion dollars in over 30 countries.
It owes Japan some 400 million dollars, Sweden 330 million, and Iran 300 million.
The newspaper emphasized that these countries should increase pressure on Pyongyang to pay back what it owes, as that could further squeeze the finances the regime uses to develop missiles and nuclear arms.
