Italian term or phrase: avere in pancia

Si tratta di un articolo di opinione nel quale trovo difficoltà a ideare un'espressione simile o corrispondente in inglese: "secondo il Fondo monetario internazionale abbiano ancora in pancia titoli tossici per ben 1.500 miliardi di dollari"

Explanation:
these toxic securities are still lurking in the financial system. "to have" is probably not quite natural enough in English for the verbal form, I'll leave that one up to you.
