DISGRACED FORMER PRIME MINISTER JOSEPH MUSCAT'S STRANGE MEETING WITH CORRUPT GENERAL SADDAM HAFTAR MEANS LIBYAN MONEY LAUNDERING THROUGH MALTA IS ALIVE AND WELL

In what must be regarded as a highly unusual event in the Republic of Malta, SADDAM HAFTAR, the Deputy Commander of the army of the separatist military dictatorship in Benghazi, met there with the cashiered former Prime Minister, JOSEPH MUSCAT, as well as with a number of active duty government officials, including the Foreign Minister and Minister of the Interior. Muscat, once named as the most corrupt government official in the European Union, is believed to be about to be named as a conspirator, in the upcoming trial regarding the assassination of investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Given the allegations that attorneys and financial services professionals closely associated with Muscat were involved in major money money laundering operations for KHALIFA HAFTAR, the Commanding General of the Benghazi faction, we question the permission given for Saddam to travel to Malta for any purpose. Muscat, as a private citizen , has no authority to act for Malta, but it appears that he was acting as an intermediary in this case. Haftar's regime is not formally recognized by the United States.

UNITED STATES OFFERS A FOUR MILLION DOLAR REWARD FOR CONVICTED SAINT KITTS CBI PASSPORT-WIELDING CHINESE FRAUDSTER DAREN LI

Remember DAREN LI a/k/a LI DAREN, the Chinese career criminal ( Cryptocurrency scams) who fled the United States before sentencing, with his trusty SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT (CBI) PASSPORT, and then received a twenty (20) year prison sentence from a United States District Judge? Today, the US Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs announced a reward of $4,000,000, for information leading to the arrest of this fugitive money launderer, who took $73.6 million from his victims.

The reward was offered pursuant to the Department's TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME REWARDS PROGRAM, and was authorized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Li, as a U.S. Secret Service Most Wanted Fugitive from Justice https://lnkd.in/eq3uJDU3 , is illustrative of the National Security Threat that CBI passport holders from the Eastern Caribbean, notorious for the region's intentional failure to weed out criminal applicants, pose to the United States.

REPORT TO U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL CONTAINED DETAILS OF CORRUPT ACTIVITIES OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA LABOUR PARTY

One final note, regarding the content of the whistleblower's letter to the Attorney General of the United States; it contained specific allegations of corruption it claims have been committed by senior officials, and its associates, of the ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA LABOUR PARTY. We attach them here to complete the picture the Caribbean Anticorruption Association painted in its report:

ANTIGUA AND DOMINICA FACE ADDITIONAL AMERICAN SANCTIONS IF THEY FAIL TO TAKE THEIR CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PROGRAMS ABROAD AND REFORM THEM

Antigua and Barbuda, and the Commonwealth of Dominica, are in the doghouse, in the eyes of the United States Government, and their CBI and CIP passport sales programs are entirely to blame. Don't GASTON BROWNE or ROOSEVELT SKERRIT try to fool you; the obscene number of sales of passports to high-risk individuals, white collar criminals, and people from countries labeled State Sponsors of Terrorism is the principal reason.

There is a good chance that, if true reform of CBIA does not occur, that American sanctions with actually increase in the short term. One only need look at the American foreign policy program being administered by its Cuban-American Secretary of State MARCO RUBIO to know that further American action against the two Caribbean states, for conduct America deems uncooperative and even hostile, if reform does not ensue, is expected. The only solution, in our humble opinion, is to move the entire administration and operation of the two countries' CBI programs abroad, to a jurisdiction (US or UK) where the corruption can be subject to such oversight that it will disappear. The due diligence and the approval processes, conducted by reputable third parties, will eliminate bribes, kickbacks and dirty dealing that characterize CBI in the Eastern Caribbean today. Will we see real change, or will we see America next interfere with the future arrival of its affluent tourists in the Caribbean, and block scheduled travel of its airliners, or the termination of all correspondent banking with indigenous financial institutions? Antigua & Dominica, reform or look forward to hard times.

A WARNING REGARDING THE USE OF AI BY COMPLIANCE OFFICERS CONDUCTING ENHANCED DUE DILIGENCE FOR ONBOARDING

We have written a number of articles, covering the hard position that the American judiciary has taken, in disciplining attorneys who filed briefs that contain bogus or fabricated citations to legal authorities, meaning case law, and secondary legal references. Lawyers have drawn as much as $10,000 fines for their carelessness, irrespective of the reason they allow AI research to creep into their court filings.

Compliance officers, as we have seen, have been supplementing their due diligence and enhanced due diligence queries with AI searches, and using the results tom decide on whether to approve (onboard) new bank clients, and some are not taking the additional, and necessary, step of actually verifying what the AI program has told them about their new customer.

Here's why this is risky, from a professional ( malpractice/negligence) viewpoint. Unlike lawyers, whose legal citation are often reviewed for accuracy by opposing counsel, and the presiding judge, A-vetted compliance decisions simply go into a file, and generally are never seen by anyone else. They do, however, surface when the customer is later found to be laundering money through his accounts, or is indicted, and a subpoena finds its way into the bank. of course it is far too late at that point to fix the error. If you don't check your AI-generated results in compliance, they may come back to haunt you.

One final and important point as to why you should be concerned; some open AI is continually learning from the data fed into it, and if a prior user input, or generated, bogus data on your target, you may very well receive that false information in your subsequent query. Are you sure you are using a Closed AI program? And what about security flaws possibly present in Open AI? you may have unwittingly further increased your chance of picking up erroneous results.

Bottom line, check everything that AI gives you back, Mr. or Ms. compliance officer.

WE GO INSIDE ANTIGUA'S MASSIVE ALFA NERO/WEST INDIES OIL COMPANY SCANDAL IN DETAIL; WHERE DID ALL THE MISSING MILLIONS GO?

Due to the massive international reader interest in the ALFA NERO scandal, its relationship to the WEST INDIES OIL COMPANY, and the alleged criminal participation of a rogues gallery of senior Antiguan government officials, and their immediate family members, we have deemed that portion of the letter to the United States Attorney  General so important for the people of Antigua that it deserves to be reprinted here in full, in advance of the upcoming national election.

 Only if the voters are fully informed, regarding the full extent of the systemic corruption, and the fact that many millions are missing, and believed to have ended up in the personal pockets of Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE, and his family, can educated voters make an informed choice st election time. The truth about the funneling of millions int0 the hands of senior members of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party we believe completely disqualifies it for reelection. Read it, and decide for yourself. We have taken the relevant portions verbatim from the document; they appear below:

AMERICAN NGO IN WASHINGTON ASKS U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL TO OPEN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION, FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING OF ANTIGUA'S LEADERS, FOCUSING ON CIP

The CARIBBEAN ANTICORRUPTION ASSOCIATION, a U.S-based NGO, has sent a twelve page white paper to TODD BLANCHE, the American Attorney General, detailing what it calls systemic corruption, fraud and money laundering, on the part of the elected leaders of ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, and their allies in the Labour Party, and in the private sector, demanding an immediate investigation into Federal crimes that the targets have committed against the United States, especially regarding the country's CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT (CIP) Passport sales program, as well as several other financial scandals.

Compliance officers at financial institutions with international clients should note well the attached list of targets implicated by the NGO for criminal activity, and immediately determine whether any are currently, or have been in the past, bank customers, counterparties, or recipients of wire transfers, and take the appropriate action, if any are found. American banks, who are charged with operating a RISK-BASED AML COMPLIANCE PROGRAM, should note that the white paper has concluded that the individuals named constitute a NATIONAL SECURITY RISK and are HOSTILE TO THE UNITED STATES, which preclude any financial transactions.

HENGSHENG CBI SCANDAL IN GRENADA THREATENS THE PROGRAMS OF ALL FIVE CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT CARIBBEAN STATES

Reports this week of efforts to arrest a senior executive at the Chinese-owned CBI passport consultancy HENGSHENG SINGAPORE PTE. have resulted in his flight to China, the arrest within China of a second senior HS officer on money laundering charges, and related news that indicates the company, which sustained a $400,000 judgement against it in the UAE, forcing it to operate under another name, will soon be shuttered, with its staff scattering to avoid arrest on a variety of charges. HS is the principal CBI vendor of Grenada economic passports. 

 What this scandal will do to an already beleaguered Caribbean economic citizenship industry cannot be underestimated. The CIP program in Antigua and Barbuda, which has an upcoming national election on April 30, and which resulted in the enactment of extremely onerous U.S. visa conditions on Antiguan citizens, could now result in even more restrictions, which could threaten the local economy. Antigua is closely linked to the Peoples' Republic of China, like Grenada, and both could suffer additional American actions, which are seen in the Caribbean as punitive in nature, but which all relate back to CIP corruption, and the China connection. 

 We cannot say what the extent of additional American restrictions will be, as the direct result of the HS scandal, Antigua, St. Kitts and St. Lucia, all of whom have a major China factor in their CIP programs, could shortly become the subject of additional restrictions as an additional manifestation of America's 2026 foreign policy towards China in the Caribbean.

ANTIGUA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL BLOCKED VICTIMS OF MALPRACTICE FROM BRINGING CLAIMS AGAINST DOCTOR CONNECTED TO LABOUR PARTY

Antigua "medical tourism" physician, Doctor JOSEPH "JOEY" JOHN, whom we have recently revealed is part of a dodgy Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party scheme to install him as the country's Governor-General, a position which some legal experts note confers immunity from criminal prosecution under British law, is also being illegally protected from his many victims by the Antiguan Attorney General, STEADROY BENJAMIN. John''s partner, SANJA ILLIC, recently pled guilty in the United States, to concealing death at John's Antigua clinic.

The AG has blocked civil suits for medical malpractice, for a doctor that also allegedly conducted experimental cancer treatments. Benjamin's action is not based on any proper legal grounds, but because the doctor is associated with sitting Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE's Labour Party, of which Steadroy is also a longtime member. We find Steadroy also involved in a number of other questionable matters, the totality of which many Antiguans feel render him unfit to continue to serve in the country's Parliament: (1) He has a criminal conviction for passport fraud. (2) He totally ignored efforts by the trust that owns the luxury yacht ALFA NERO to settle the matter, while assisting in what is allefged to be an illegal sale of the vessel by the Government of Antigua. (3) As the Deputy Prime Minister, in the absence of GASTON BROWNE, he ordered police to fire rubber bullets at children and elderly citizens engaged in peaceful protests. (4) He is allegedly involved in corruption efforts surrounding the proposed new prison project.

With a snap election, called by PM Browne, coming up on April 30, Antiguans are anticipating his probable indictment in the United States, should he lose his Parliamentary seat.

WHICH CARIBBEAN LEADERS LOST THEIR AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC VISA PRIVILEGES THIS WEEK?

 

Saint Lucia Minister for Investment ERNEST HILAIRE

Legal experts who cover the Caribbean have been digesting this week's news that twenty six Caribbean government leaders have has their diplomatic visas to enter the United States terminated with prejudice, and they are seeking to determine which individuals are included in that American decision. Multiple media outlets, including those from outside the United States, has broken that story, giving the information a presumption of accuracy and correctness.

Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE

We know that, as a matter of policy the U.S. Department of State does not release the names of those who they choose to cancel their diplomatic visa privileges, but considering that it is known the reasons believed to be behind this U.S. action include their participation in corrupt Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) economic passport sales programs, especially those which involve Chinese corporate entities or influence, which impacts American national security.

St. Kitts & Nevis Prime Minister TERRANCE DRE

Therefore, based upon our 40+ years of experience in the coverage of the economic citizenship industry, as well as personal involvement with the first CBI program, in Saint Kitts & Nevis in 1983, we have made an educated guess, regarding who are the most likely candidates for American visa termination, based upon their known connection to CBI corruption, fraud and money laundering.We admit that while this is only an estimate, it was taken from the allegations of criminal activity implicating those leaders during the past decade or more. 

Dominica Prime Minister ROOSEVELT SKERRIT

We shall be monitoring the travel schedules of the individuals who appear here, to determine whether their visits to the United States have now come to a halt, to confirm our conclusions. Stay tuned.

Grenada PM DICKON MITCHEL

LABOUR GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA PLANS TO IMMUNIZE ONE OF ITS OWN, WHO FACES EXTENSIVE LITIGATION IN THE UNITED STATES FOR NEGLIGENCE IN MEDICAL TOURISM

Doctor Joseph "Joey" John

A scheme, by the sitting Labour Party of ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, to place one of its own, local physician DOCTOR JOSEPH JOHN, in office after the upcoming national elections, as GOVERNOR-GENERAL, has become public knowledge. Johns, who is engaged in dodgy Medical Tourism in Antigua, is reportedly the subject of extensive civil litigation in courts in the United States, alleging professional negligence. His experimental cancer treatment program has come under attack by the medical establishment, and resulted in claims by his patients in American courts.

The obvious aim of the Labour plan is to immunize Doctor John, who as Governor-General will become immune under Antiguan law for any criminal charges, which are believed to be pending and threatened against him at this time. Should the Labour Party, which has been under attack for corruption and money laundering, Doctor John would most likely face criminal prosecution; he is a known Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party member. His controversial Antiguan knighthood, in the face of fraud allegations, has also drawn critics.

Doctor John was appointed AMBASSADOR AT LARGE and Advisor to Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE a decade ago, as part of Browne's policy of doling out diplomatic passports to members of the Labour Party who do not discharge actual responsibilities as working diplomats, but who then can engage in international travel without have their baggage and documents examined by customs officers. Exactly what governmental advisor benefits a private physician can deliver to the Government of Antigua has always been a question, as have a large number of diplomatic passports given to private businessmen in Antigua, and the facilitation of corruption has long been suspected as the true reason for this widespread practice.

REPORTS CLAIM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS TO RESCIND THE DIPLOMATIC VISAS, AND ALL TRAVEL PRIVILEGES, FOR 26 SENIOR CARIBBEAN GOVERNMENT LEADERS.

Antigua PM GASTON BROWNE

This information, which came after details appeared recently claiming that Antigua and Barbuda's Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE has had all his visa privileges to enter the United States revoked, was seen multiple times on social media. The grounds were said to be that the individuals named threatened the security and prosperity of the United States. Reuters has confirmed this story.

In what must be considered an extension of the current American visa restriction policy, a denial of the ability of those named to "own or control critical assets" was mentioned. Whether this means that sanctions will be imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), or some other American regulatory or law enforcement action, we cannot say.

The report included specific information regarding individuals who hold office in Antigua; it stated that a half dozen Antiguan officials, as well as a senior local businessman are included on the list of names of those whose visas will be terminated. We shall make every effort to verify the names, but wish to point out that the United States, as a matter of policy does not confirm single cases where it has revoked visa privileges of foreign leaders.
