That killed his own people
In law, the word extortion can refer to political corruption, such as selling one's office or influence peddling, but in general vocabulary the word usually first brings to mind blackmail or protection rackets. The logical connection between the corruption sense of the word and the other senses is that to demand bribes in one's official capacity is blackmail or racketeering in essence (that is, "you need access to this resource, the government restricts access to it through my office, and I will charge you unfairly and unlawfully for such access").

D'Amato says Swiss laundered Nazi gold
JANUARY 12, 1997
New York Sen. Al D'Amato and American Jewish leaders say they have documents that prove Swiss bankers worked actively on behalf of the Nazis during World War II. D'Amato and the World Jewish Congress Sunday released U.S. intelligence reports from 1946 that say the Swiss National Bank sent 280 truck-loads of Nazi gold to Spain and Portugal in the early '40s.
The New York Republican is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, which is investigating the role of the Swiss government and banks in the loss of property taken from victims of the Holocaust. D'Amato released a 1946 top secret report to the director of the Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor of the CIA) that says up to $500 million worth of gold was shipped to Spaind and Portugal in trucks bearing the national emblem of Switzerland. He says those shipments were all made between May 1943 and February 1944. He also released a transcript of the August 1945 interrogation of Karl Graupner, who was responsible for gold in the Foreign Exchange Department of the Nazi Reichsbank. According to the transcript, Gaupner admitted the Swiss not only transported the gold, but insured the shipments as well. D'Amato has written to the Swiss president, asking who insured the gold, how much it was insured for, and where it all came from, among other questions. Swiss officials could not be reached for comment.
