American political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., saying he was visiting friends “on the Rhine River” in Germany, called his indictment by a U.S. grand jury a “political dirty trick” but said he will surrender to authorities in the United States this week. In a telephone interview with the Associated Press in Bonn, he denied allegations by the Boston grand jury that he ordered subordinates in his political organization to stall a grand jury investigation of purported fraud by his followers. “There’s nothing to it, it’s a lot of hot air, a political indictment,” he said of the charges.
