Tens of thousands of euros have been flushed down the toilet in Geneva, leaving Swiss prosecutors scratching their heads over whether the money is dirty. Wads of €500 notes were discovered cut to shreds in the sewer system of a branch of Swiss bank UBS, while three more large deposits turned up in the toilets of nearby bistros. Swiss investigators said the money appeared to have come from a safe deposit box in Geneva belonging to unidentified Spanish women. A waiter in the Pizzeria du Molard told the Tribune the restaurant had called the police after the men’s toilets became blocked up. UBS, which discovered the notes at its branch on the Rue de la Corraterie, declined to comment.
