KABUL (Reuters) - The brothers of former President Hamid Karzai and one of his vice presidents are among 19 individuals and companies that still owe a total of $633 million (392.83 million pound) from a 2010 loan fraud scandal at Afghanistan's biggest bank, a watchdog said on Thursday.
The group praised new President Ashraf Ghani's decision to re-open an inquiry into the bank collapse, calling for more prosecutions and aggressive measures to recover more of the nearly $1 billion lost in loans to well-connected people.
