AS AMERICA'S FOCUS RETURNS TO THE CARIBBEAN, PRO-CUBA & CHINA CARIBBEAN STATES WITH CBI ISSUES FACE MORE RESTRICTIONS
If you were thinking that the American preoccupation with the Iran War was dominating the country's foreign policy activity, to the exclusion of the Caribbean, you would be wrong. Reports from the region confirm that there has been a major increase in reconnaissance flights, by US Air Force and US Navy RC-135V Rivet Joint and P-8A Poseidon electronic surveillance aircraft, just off the coast of Havana and Santiago de Cuba. Additionally, the US is releasing photographs of suspected drug trafficking vessels being attacked and destroyed again in Caribbean waters.
Both President Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have recently reminded the press that they intend to refocus on regime change in Cuba, as well as increase their influence over the entire Eastern Caribbean region, which is not good news for Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua, Dominica and Saint Lucia, all citizenship by investment passport vendor states, whose loud government-sponsored nationalism verges on anti-Americanism. The EC states, who have steadfastly refused to reform their corrupt CBI programs, and who are completely dependent upon American tourism to sustain their deficient economies, could see The American government take steps which would have the effect of reducing the volume of American tourism, through State Department threat level increases and/or a reduction in scheduled American airliner arrivals.
A declining domestic economy, when coupled with further American restrictions on visa access from the West Indies, could severely affect the local economies of the EC CBI states. We are wondering how quickly overplaying the patriotism card will backfire for the Labour leadership of the Caribbean states, as focused America loses patience with the posturing of its senior officials, who believe they are politically and economically bulletproof. Perhaps it is time for them to wake up, and readjust their loyalties, lest they, and their nations, get burned.

THAT CUTE LITTLE 10% SHAREHOLDER REPORTING RULE IN HONG KONG: FAR TOO PREDICTABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL
This week's news for SDNY, regarding the guilty plea of the British money launderer (USD$60million) RODERIC SAGE, reminds me that tradecraft is ineffective when repeated ad nauseum. When I was a compliance officer at a billion dollar investment firm,I used my experiences, gleaned from a decade as a career money launderer, to foil laundrymen seeking to hide beneficial ownership, when they engaged in tactics that I myself used successfully.
My rule as a compliance officer at that firm was that corporations placing investments had to identify all shareholders with more than ten (10%) of the outstanding shares of company stock. I noticed that some of the salesmen were obviously coaching their clients to state that any dodgy shareholders, whom they preferred not to name, owned precisely ten per cent. I immediately changed my position, to require any shareholder of nine (9%) percent or more be identified. Roderic Sage's laundrymen, knowing that ten per cent was the ceiling for Hong Kong KYC on corporate shareholders, formed a number of shell companies holding under that amount. US law enforcement investigators identified the scheme, and obtained indictments anyway; the ploy was, as I noticed when I observed it as a frontline compliance officer, overused and obvious. Sage is, if anything, simply guilty of a lack of imagination. Research Note: US vs. IVO BECHTIGER et al, Case No.: 1:20-cr-00497-GHW (SDNY).

DOMINICA PRIME MINISTER ROOSEVELT SKERRIT SHOULD RESIGN FORTHWITH, IN LIGHT OF THIS SCANDAL
I am again asking how an Iranian-based CBI consultancy can sell DOMINICA CBI CITIZENSHIP & PASSPORTS? Where is Prime Minister ROOSEVELT SKERRIT in all this? Should he resign?
CHINA'S INTERNET MEDIA PROPAGANDA MILL EXTOLS ITS ECONOMIC PROGRESS, ENCOURAGES WEST INDIANS TO CHOOSE IT OVER WHAT IT SAYS IS A DECLINING AMERICA
Reports from the Eastern Caribbean confirm that the Peoples' Republic of China is actively engaged in a massive propaganda campaign, claiming China is economically ascendant, and should be the logical choice over a United States it asserts is declining. Their propaganda team is trying to tell the Caribbean that the USA economy and dollar will fall, and that they should line up with the Chinese, who will rise above the West . The claims make no sense, in my humble opinion. The Chinese economy depends heavily on export to the West, so that market will never give up selling western products. The large technology companies are still majority American, and once they stop using Chinese materials and make their own, the Chinese economy will drastically decelerate . China, using a wide variety of media, seeks to increase its political and social influence in the Eastern Caribbean, by convincing West Indians that their economic future lies by aligning themselves with its developing economy, but many economists have found fault with their reasoning and predictions, and believe the opposite will be true. The Caribbean states should discount China's rosy predictions, lest they fall into an untenable debtor situation that could result in China taking full advantage of their insolvency, to their detriment, as it has done in the Belt and Road Initiative cases in Asia and Africa.

IS BARBADOS SOCIAL ACTIVIST PATRICK KING ACTUALLY ONE OF HIS COUNTRY'S CRIME LORDS?
Given current events in Barbados, we have elected to republish this article as updated.
Readers who have reviewed our articles detailing the American civil racketeering lawsuit filed against 93 Barbados attorneys, and alleging massive organised probate real estate fraud, (Alex Mitchell et al vs. Mia Mottley et al) have been asking how all these lawyers have been able to successfully steal the lion's share of prime Bajan real estate (originally created as plantations) with impunity. Whilst we have explained that Barbados' corrupt courts are occupied by formerly private lawyers who have themselves previously profited richly from this illicit operation, why haven't local law enforcement assisted in obtaining relief, through justice?
The sad answer is that the principal law enforcement agency in the island nation, the Barbados Police Service, or BPS, is part of the problem. The BPS has within its ranks a number of corrupt police officers who are well paid by several of the attorneys who are defendants in the RICO case to harass and arrest the victims who have been swindled out of their property and money. These officers set up the victims for bogus arrests. All these criminal activities are allegedly handled through local social activist PATRICK KING, who is an officer/detective of the BPS. It should be noted that he is operating under the colour of authority to harass, intimidate, and set-up for bogus arrests of the victims and their families, while simultaneously engaging in cocaine smuggling to the US, Canada and the UK.
King reportedly funnels money from the dodgy lawyers to the police officers. This information, which has been confirmed by law enforcement agencies from outside Barbados, indicates that King is a central figure in the targeting of victims of probate real estate fraud, which has deprived many of their historic family agricultural tracts lost during complicated probate proceedings that constitute fraud and deceit openly conducted over several decades. His officers, acting as enforcers of his orders, are feared due to the fact there have been a number of unexplained (and unsolved) suspicious deaths in Barbados.

| King's social media page |
King, who is said to also be a non-practising lawyer with a large and loyal following on social media, and who has a colourful history as a champion of the people's rights, allegedly has members of the judiciary, as well as government officials, on his payroll. His source of wealth is allegedly the trafficking of cocaine, which his associates smuggle drugs out of Grantley Adams international Airport (IATA code: BGI), on board British and American airliners, bound for the UK, US and Canada. He is currently a target of law enforcement agencies in those countries. His criminal profits, which are substantial, have been quietly buried under several small farms on the island, which could provide a windfall for enterprising Bajans who might have a hint regarding their whereabouts, once his criminal career comes to an abrupt, and most likely violent, end.
Once, Patrick King, who provided major political support during the 2018 election, for Prime Minister Mottley's government, and is known to have gone into hiding, for having somehow incurred the displeasure of the PM, having become concerned about his probable extrajudicial execution. His criminal organization is established, and a clear and present danger to all Bajans. Whether his status among Bajans as a beloved human rights campaigner will survive this outing as a career criminal we cannot say, but we will be watching; Stay tuned.
HOW DID PRO-REGIME IRANIANS, RESIDING INSIDE IRAN, GET DOMINICA CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PASSPORTS, MR. EDWARDS?
 |
| Ian Edwards and Dominica PM Roosevelt Skerrit |
Two Iranian nationals, KIANOUSH MAHMOUDI and KIANDOKHT MAHMOUDI, lifelong residents, who took over the ownership of their late uncle’s immigration firm -Cankash Immigration- after his demise; Kianoush Mahmoudi, obtained a CBI passport from agent Ian Edwards of Tranquility Dominica. I question how this citizenship was obtained, and whether statutory guidelines for approval were ever followed by the CIU.
Please note that the Iranian-based company included Dominica CBI information on its website.This is a problem because additional concern, as these Iranians have supported the government, making anti-American statements in several media sites amidst the Iran War, while at the same time actively promoting and selling CBI programs, including Dominican and other westren passports.

JOSEPH SAMMUT-REGISTERED ENTITIES
Sanctions and Current Status
Joseph Sammut: While not on the US OFAC SDN list, he faced a global asset freeze by the Maltese courts and was removed from the register of auditors in 2019. His legal battles regarding the 2015 fraud and money laundering charges are a matter of public record.
Safeir Gold: The company was a creditor in the Satabank liquidation, further linking it to a banking institution that was shut down by the ECB for systemic money laundering failures. It is still in operation.......
US Pressure: While Sammut is not personally sanctioned by the US, the US State Department and Treasury have frequently pressured Malta to prosecute "professional enablers" like Sammut who helped Libyan regime figures evade international sanctions and move looted assets.
- Deknas family and hundreds of his mates continue to enjoy their fraudulent citizenship
Summary of Registered Entities (27, Grognet Street)
Entity Relation Note SMM Group Primary Firm Sammut's operational base. Safeir Gold Ltd Dekna Family €400k gold capital; vanished in 1 year.

WILL ANTIGUA HAVE TO PAY OUT $200 MILLION FOR THE ALFA NERO?
Given the fact that there is litigation pending in Russia, and the government there has already reportedly seized assets of the Turkish billionaire who bought the ALFA NERO from Antigua's GASTON BROWNE'S government for less than 50% of its market value, legal observers believe that the bill for literally stealing and selling off the luxury yacht will eventually come due, and the people of Antigua and Barbuda will see it come out of their already seriously depleted national treasury. Insiders also are following the unfolding criminal investigation into the case in Dubai, UAE, where the government there could also compel Antigua to pay back the family of the Russian oligarch who own the vessel. Finally, remember that the Russians have placed extremely valuable works of art on the yacht, and Gaston Browne's port director's henchmen are believed to have boldly stolen them off the vessel, when it sat on the docks in Antigua.
Could the Alfa Nero case render Antigua, with its dysfunctional, distressed economy, insolvent? If a foreign court of competent jurisdiction has a judgment and demands payment, would default place ANTIGUA into the category of deadbeat nation? I wonder how Antiguan voters, who just recently reelected the Labour Party for another five years, will deal with this upcoming catastrophe.

MALTA'S DEKNA £400,000 GOLD FRAUD, CREATED BY JOSEPH SAMMUT
The Safeir Gold Controversy
The case of Safeir Gold Ltd is a prime example of the "invented capital" allegations that led to Sammut’s 2015 arraignment on charges of fraud and money laundering.
The Gold Injection
When Safeir Gold Ltd was incorporated in 2015, its share capital was reportedly declared to be €400,000. Crucially, this capital was not paid in cash but in the form of gold bullion.
The Certification: Joseph Sammut, acting as the company’s auditor/accountant, officially certified the existence and value of this gold.
Storage in Libya: The gold was claimed to be held in storage in Libya, not Malta. Sammut provided documentation to Maltese authorities (including the MFSA and Identity Malta) verifying that the gold was a legitimate asset of the company.
The "Vanishing" Act
Investigations into the company’s financial records later revealed a startling discrepancy. Within one year of incorporation, the €400,000 worth of gold essentially "vanished" from the company’s balance sheets.
Invented Capital: This led investigators to conclude that the gold likely never existed or was "paper gold" used solely to bypass residency requirements.
Strategic Residency: The high capital valuation allowed the owners—the Dekna family—to secure high-tier residency status (and later passports) quickly.
The Dekna family was never charged tax or anything for the 400k Gold. Instead they all got full passports which should be annulled in my opinion as quick as possibleThe Dekna Connection: Gaddafi & Passports
The owners of Safeir Gold, specifically Saifalislam Abdalla Dekna and his father Abdalla Dekna, are key figures in the Libyan-Maltese financial nexus.
Abdalla Dekna’s Background: Abdalla Dekna was a senior manager at Medavia, a joint venture between the Maltese and Libyan governments. He was a known associate of the Gaddafi regime, having been detained in Libya in 2012 for providing logistical support to the regime during the 2011 revolution.
From Residency to Passport: The "investment" in Safeir Gold was the stepping stone for the family's integration into Malta. Reports indicate that following the initial residency secured via Safeir Gold, members of the family successfully applied for and were granted full Maltese (EU) Citizenship.
Gaddafi Gold? The question of whether the "Safeir Gold" was actually part of the missing 140 tonnes of Libyan state gold remains a subject of intense speculation among financial crime investigators. Malta served as a major transit point for Gaddafi loyalists moving wealth into the EU after 2011.
MEET THE BARBADOS ATTORNEY WHO FRONTS FOR CAREER CRIMINAL WINSTON CLARKE
If you read our recent article, BARBADOS CAREER CRIMINAL AND THIEF/FRAUDSTER SURFACES AGAIN; PRACTISING LAW WITHOUT A LICENSE WHILE STEALING FROM HIS "CLIENTS" , and are wondering how WINSTON CLARKE evades arrest and prosecution for the Unauthorized Practice of Law, meet the lawyer who protects Clarke from his many victims. Beckles allows Clarke, and his estwhile partner in crime, ANTHONY HINDS, to use his imposing law office stationary, to steal and defraud elderly ladies and other easy marks. Whether Beckles should have his law license stripped away from him for his facilitation of white collar crime I leave to the Barbados Bar Association, but here is what I have previously written about this dodgy lawyer.
We have written a number of articles detailing how a number of lawyers in Barbados have been engaged in the theft of real estate from absentee Bajan owners, or those who are powerless to protect themselves from fraud, forgery, corruption of the court system, and additional white collar crimes committed by unethical and greedy members of the Bar, who have been acting with impunity.
Our latest information involves property that was once owned by the leading American/Bajan civil rights activist the Right Reverend Michael Haynes. Haynes was a close friend of American icon Martin Luther King, Jr., and the two of them worked together in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
The real estate in question passed, through inheritance, to Haynes' son; On January 18, 2023, attorney CORY H.D. BECKLES allegedly broke into the property, without permission, or colour of law. He was reportedly accompanied by clerk ANTHONY HINDS, attorney KAVIER CALLENDER and an individual claiming to be a Bailiff, WAYNE MCKENZIE. Beckles is reportedly acting on behalf of a client named JOSEPH JORDAN, of Sunset Crest, St. James. Jordan's claim has no basis in law, according to our sources. An attorney's failure to adequately research authorities before taking action constitutes gross negligence, and requires disbarment, but the law in Barbados is weak, corrupt and useless when it comes to the administration of justice.
Readers of this blog will recall that attorney Beckles is connected to known Bajan fraudster and unlicensed jailhouse lawyer WINSTON CLARKE* also known as JOE GRIFFITH, who has victimised a number of Bajans through the unauthorised practise of law, allegedly working out of Beckles' law office. Until the Barbados Bar Association, and the courts, start disciplining and punishing attorneys who steal real estate from their clients, and from innocent expats living abroad, these crimes will continue unabated.

JOSEPH SAMMUT: THE ARCHITECT OF GROGNET STREET
Joseph (Joe) Sammut is a Maltese accountant and former National Treasurer of the Labour Party. His office at Grognet Street, Mosta, became the epicenter of a massive regulatory scandal involving the creation of hundreds of "shell" companies for Libyan nationals.
The Residency Facade: Sammut’s primary service for Libyan clients was the facilitation of Maltese residency permits which in many cases became full passports. To qualify, Libyans were required to show a significant investment (usually €100,000) in a Maltese company.
Mass Registration: At its peak, Grognet Street hosted between 200 and 800 companies. Many of these existed only on paper, with no employees or physical operations. But all retained their residence status and many got a passport.

ALEX SAAB MORAN'S UPCOMING RETURN TO U.S. CUSTODY HAS BEEN GIVING CERTAIN CARIBBEAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
Given that the consensus of opinion among those senior American officials who speak to the press anonymously is that ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN, the Colombian money launderer who served the highest echelon in former President NICOLAS MADURO's Sol narcotics cartel, will sooner or later be extradited from Venezuela, in some sort of backroom deal, a number of Caribbean leaders in Antigua and Barbuda are most certainly having sleepless nights.
Saab, who received both an Antiguan diplomatic as well as a CBI passport, moved major amounts of criminal profits through the two offshore Antiguan banks that he owned, as well as the local GLOBAL BANK OF COMMERCE, with the active assistance of his close friend, Prime Minister & Minister of Finance GASTON BROWNE, and a number of members of his cabinet. All of them fear the cooperation Saab will most likely render to American law enforcement, to avoid a life sentence for money laundering and terrorist financing. In fact, the recent Snap Election called and conducted by Browne took place to insure that he was reinstalled as Head of State in Antigua; whether that is a Get Out of Jail Free Card is debatable though, given Maduro's arrest and presumed ultimate fate.
For those who are concerned that the previous American Pardon extended to Saab, when he was exchanged for ten American hostages, take a look at the fine print; his subsequent criminal activities render it absolutely void, and of not further force and effect. Meanwhile, Antigua's corrupt leadership is reportedly looking over the shoulder, and fearing the proverbial visit by an American Special Forces team dedicated to their arrest and removal to a Federal Courtroom in Manhattan.
