Over the weekend the world was gripped by the drama surrounding the mysterious murder-homicide of the former CEO of Dutch bank ABN Amro and members of his family, and whether there is more foul play than meets the eye. However, that is nothing compared to what just happened in the tiny, and all too quiet Principality of Lichtenstein, where moments ago the CEO of local financial institution Bank Frick & Co. AG, Juergen Frick, was shot dead in the underground garage of the bank located in the city of Balzers.
The suspect, Juergen Hermann, fled the scene in a Smart car with Liechtenstein license plates, according to police. The authorities later said Hermann appears to have committed suicide after they found the vehicle in Ruggell, 25 kilometers (16 miles) north of Balzers, with his passport and a confession.
“Service dogs were able to track the suspect to the banks of the Rhine,” police said in a statement. “Clothing belonging to the suspect was found there. Because of the circumstances and the evidence, suicide has to be assumed.”
Hermann Finance
Hermann is a fund manager who has been embroiled in a dispute with the Liechtenstein government and Bank Frick for many years, according to Radio 1.
The Liechtenstein government and the country’s Financial Market Authority “illegally destroyed my investment company Hermann Finance and its funds, depriving me of my livelihood,” according to a website registered under the name Juergen Hermann of Hermann Finance AG.
The escape vehicle was later found in the village of Ruggell, 25 kilometers (16 miles) north of Balzers, police said.
“The area is being searched by police with dogs and helicopters,” the 120-member police force said. Zurich police are helping to document the crime scene, spokesman Mario Cortesi sa
So the shooter may have "committed suicide" but they are still looking for the guy. This is the stuff those TV mini-series are made of.

Far to often I see posters cheering on terrible things and laughing at peoples misery.....Why? You have no idea what is going on here and what this man was like in real life all you have is assumptions.
Empathy is a learned trait and parents should teach it more often. Misery and death is nothing to laugh at no matter who it is. You become what you hate.
I have no empathy for the outright robbery or the robbers of humanity.....
I have no illusions as to the altruistic endeavours of the money changers....
Funny thing about the lack of compassion and empathy is that many times you become what you hate. Wishing terrible things on people is a path to the dark side. It really is.
That being said I believe these criminals should face jail time.

Who the Hell flees an assassination in a Smart Car?
