SWISS SAY MEXICO LEADER'S BROTHER TOOK DRUG MONEY

Investigators have obtained evidence that the brother of former Mexican
President Carlos Salinas de Gortari accepted bribes from drug traffickers,
the Swiss anti-narcotics police chief said Thursday.

Valentin Roschacher said the next step is for Swiss officials to decide
whether the evidence collected over 21/2 years is sufficient to prosecute.

Meanwhile, authorities in Mexico seek to arrest a key aide to Carlos
Salinas on corruption charges. A warrant was issued for Justo Ceja,
Salinas' private secretary, who went into hiding after the former leader's
term ended in 1994.
