Cars drive past Vaduz Castle in Liechtensteins capital Vaduz in this March 14, 2012 file photo. Nigeria accused Liechtenstein of using legal challenges as a pretext to cling on to 185 million euros ($250 million) stolen by former military dictator Sani Abacha who died 14 years ago. Nigeria has been fighting to recover the money for years, but companies linked to the Abacha family keep going to court to prevent the funds being repatriated, Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Vaduz Castle, set against the backdrop of cars driving past in Liechtenstein's capital city, Vaduz. The image, taken on March 14,2012 by Arnd Wiegmann, showcases the harmonious coexistence of history and modernity. However, beyond its picturesque scenery lies a tale of controversy and financial dispute. Nigeria has accused Liechtenstein of employing legal tactics to retain a staggering sum of 185 million euros ($250 million) that was allegedly stolen by former military dictator Sani Abacha over a decade ago. Despite Abacha's passing fourteen years prior to this photo being taken, Nigeria has persistently fought for the repatriation of these funds. Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala revealed that companies associated with the Abacha family have consistently resorted to court battles as an attempt to prevent the return of these ill-gotten gains. This ongoing struggle highlights Nigeria's relentless pursuit for justice and recovery. As we gaze upon this striking image capturing both architectural grandeur and bustling urban life in Vaduz, it serves as a reminder that even amidst serene landscapes and thriving economies like Liechtenstein's capital city, hidden stories can unravel beneath the surface – tales entwined with politics and financial intrigue that transcend time itself.
