Afghan Corruption

Well, isn't this interesting:
In a move that could further strain Washington's already fraught relations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, federal prosecutors are considering an indictment against his brother for tax evasion, according to a U.S. official and a source familiar with the investigation. ... A source familiar with the investigation said Mahmoud Karzai is expected to be indicted by a federal grand jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan "The $64,000 question is when," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because no indictment has been made public.
The IRS is involved with this because Mahmoud Karzai is an American citizen and, as such, he is subject to Federal tax law.

  1. Geez, we don't have a rule about being the head of a foreign government? I know I'm not allowed to topple a foreign government... that seems related.
