| Dick Marty is not just any Swiss politician or even a typical party member - he's a lawyer and European MP known for doggedly pursuing, as a special investigator, things that often put him on the wrong side of the establishment (CIA flyovers and secret prisons, human rights abuses and secret UN blacklists). A little background from a GenevaLunch article in Nov 2007 - note he won the foreign press association's annual prize in Switzerland, given to the person the press assoc. respects most that year. | |

Yes, he was also the prosecutor of Ticino that courageously fought organized crime in relation to the Mafia.
