Switzerland has freed a bank account belonging to an ethnic Albanian group that had been frozen on suspicion it was being used to fund the rebellion in the Serbian province of Kosovo, officials said in Geneva. The Swiss federal prosecutor’s office blocked the account containing $5 million at Credit Suisse Bank in Zurich on July 27 as part of a probe that included raids on homes of some Kosovo Albanians in eastern Switzerland. The account belonged to the Foundation for Kosovo. A second account, belonging to the People’s Movement for Liberation of Kosovo, which claims to be the political arm of the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army, also was frozen and remains blocked.
