Fugitive Still Being Paid Agricultural Subsidy: A company owned by fugitive Marc Rich from U.S. justice has received more than $65 million in payments from the U.S. Agriculture Department and continues to benefit from American farm export subsidies, a congressman charged. Rep. Dan Glickman (D-Kan.) said Rich, owner of Richco Grain Ltd., is under criminal indictment but his firm continues to receive payments from the department to underwrite grain exports. Richco Grain is based in Zug, Switzerland, but has an office in Stamford, Conn. The Kansas Democrat said Rich faced a 65-count indictment on “a litany of criminal charges, ranging from tax evasion to fraud to dealing with the enemy.” Rich now lives in Zug.
