Reply to "Swiss Timing oops"

More arrests in the Commonwealth Games / Swiss Timing corruption case. Interpol has issued arrest warrants for the top two executives at Swiss Timing, but given the fact that they are Swiss and Roman Polanski has lived in Switzerland since the 70's with an outstanding Interpol warrant for rape, it seems doubtful they will spend any time in jail unless they try to leave the country.

"Federal agents arrested the official....on charges that he conspired to steer an inflated contract to a Swiss firm that provided timing equipment for the games, which were staged here in October. "

Interesting how The New York Times has started referring to Swiss Timing anonymously, as "A Swiss Firm". All the other newspapers covering the story refer to Swiss Timing by its name.

Also interesting is The Australian's account, "The [Swiss Timing] system was a shambles, and it fell to an Australian Company, Infostrada, to provide an emergency alternative means of transmitting the real-time information".
