MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
Good morning, I'm Mary Louise Kelly. You may never think of dirty money in the same way after I tell you about the Swiss bank that found its toilet blocked by 500-euro banknotes. Geneva prosecutors are investigating. They say they're not so interested in the motive, but they do want to know where the deposits came from.
