A general view shows 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 majestic Vaduz Castle, situated in the heart of Liechtenstein's capital city, Vaduz. The castle stands proudly atop a hill, overlooking the picturesque landscape that surrounds it. Its ancient walls and towers exude a sense of history and grandeur. However, beyond its architectural beauty lies a tale of controversy and financial dispute. Nigeria has accused Liechtenstein of using legal challenges as an excuse to retain 185 million euros ($250 million) stolen by former military dictator Sani Abacha, who passed away 14 years ago. Despite Nigeria's persistent efforts to recover these funds over the years, companies associated with the Abacha family continue to resort to court battles in order to prevent repatriation. The juxtaposition between this serene image and the underlying conflict adds depth and intrigue to Arnd Wiegmann's photograph. It serves as a reminder that even amidst breathtaking scenery and cultural landmarks, there can be hidden stories of corruption and power struggles. As viewers admire this general view of Vaduz Castle from March 14th, 2012, they are invited to contemplate not only its architectural significance but also reflect on how wealth can sometimes be entangled in complex webs of politics and greed.
