Fugitive financier, adult entertainer announce bids for European body

In her celebrated career as an adult entertainer, Dolly Buster has done it all: movies, magazines, men, women. Now Buster, whose real name is Katerina Bochnickova, is hoping to use her fame to catapult herself into the political arena as one of 24 Czech representatives in the European Parliament. Buster, who lives in Germany, is just one of several nontraditional candidates who have announced their intention to campaign for a chance to represent this country in Brussels and Strasbourg when elections are held here in June. In what is beginning to resemble the much-talked-about and often-ridiculed recall election in California that brought Arnold Schwarzenegger the governorship this fall, infamous fugitive billionaire Viktor Kozeny, who lives in the Bahamas, has also declared that he will seek a seat in the Parliament -- if he is not arrested here first. Kozeny, who maintains his innocence, is wanted here and in the United States on charges that he defrauded investors to the tune of $182 million (4.7 billion Kc) and illegally transferred 11.5 billion Kc worth of assets from Harvard Investment Funds, which he ran.
