Marc Rich
Marc Rich is a controversial figure who in
1983 fled the
United States to live in
Switzerland, in order to avoid prosecution on charges of
tax evasion and illegally making oil deals with
Iran during the
hostage crisis.
Bill Clinton granted him a
pardon shortly before leaving office as the
President of the United States. Since Rich's former wife, Denise Rich, had made huge donations to the
Democratic Party during
Bill Clinton's time in office, it was widely alleged that Rich's pardon had been bought.
