ALARMING DEVELOPMENTS IN DOMINICA THAT COULD IMPACT CBI PASSPORT HOLDERS; WILL THEY LOSE THEIR CITIZENSHIP STATUS?

There are important developments out of Dominica that I believe you will find significant, particularly as they relate to the Citizenship by Investment programme there. As you may know, Anthony Haiden, the owner of Dubai-based MMCE (Montreal Management Consultants LLC), has filed a petition in the High Court of Dominica. He has named as defendants a long list of respondents: the Government of Dominica, the Attorney General, the Permanent Secretary, Range Developments, and ABL Holdings.

To give you the background on the parties involved: Range Developments is the company that built the Kempinski Hotel on the island and is currently developing a marina project. ABL Holdings is the company constructing the Cable Car project in Dominica. MMCE, for its part, is handling the Dominica International Airport project.

The crux of Haiden's petition is that he's claiming MMCE should be the sole/exclusive authorized agent/developer for selling citizenships tied to CBI development projects in Dominica. He's essentially arguing that neither Range Developments nor ABL Holdings should have any authority to market or process CBI applications for the respective construction projects.

Here's where it gets interesting. This move has not gone over well locally. There's real anger on the ground haa come from the voters. Members of the public are calling on the government to cancel MMCE's license outright; Some are going even further, demanding that citizenships issued through MMCE be revoked, citing what they see as conduct that runs against what has been described as the National Interest. The prevailing local sentiment is that Haiden overplayed his hand. Range Developments already has a completed Kempinski hotel. ABL Holdings is close to finishing the Cable Car, and rather than staying in his lane with the airport project, Haiden has tried to claim exclusive rights over the entire CBI pipeline. That kind of overreach tends to backfire, and it appears to have done exactly that.

There's a real possibility that individuals who obtained their Dominican citizenship through MMCE could find themselves in serious jeopardy, potentially facing revocation of their citizenship status through no fault of their own. The legal battle Haiden has picked with the government is not one he's likely to win quietly, and there's talk that he could face arrest in Dominica for allegedly presenting fraudulent documents (Side letter) that claim all CBI-related projects must be channeled exclusively through MMCE. My sources in the country have advised that the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force have registered a case against him for the creation of fake & forged documents, which brings with it a high possibility of him getting arrested if he enters Dominica.

It's worth noting this isn't Haiden's first run-in with document-related legal trouble; He has prior history in Dubai. In May 2024, a CBI applicant named Rasha Ahmed Mohammed Almukhtar filed a case in Dubai accusing Haiden and an associate, reportedly a Syrian national named Aya Ghattas, of forgery and fraud in connection with her Dominican citizenship application. The allegation was that Haiden and MMCE submitted forged documents on her behalf and deceived her throughout the process. That case resulted in a three-month prison sentence for Hayden.

Stay tuned for more information, regarding unfolding developments in Dominica, on this crucial story.

HOW AMERICAN PRONOUNCEMENT OF CUBA AS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TRANSLATES INTO A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES

This week's statement, by the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to the effect that the United States, as a matter of policy, regards the Republic of Cuba as a National Security Threat, will directly impact the five Eastern Caribbean states that were already regarded by the State Department as problematic, due to their corrupt CBI programs, which have funneled application funds containing the Proceeds of Crime through American correspondent bank accounts.

Given that President Trump has essentially ruled out diplomacy in its dealings with what it has deemed as an uncooperative Cuban national government, and moved military assets in the Caribbean, including a carrier group, closer to Cuba's shores, expect some level of American action against Cuba this summer. The five Eastern Caribbean states, which each have some level of Cuban nationals within their borders, in embassies, as trainers and advisors to law enforcement, as medical teams, as political advisors, and as construction project supervisors and contractors, could find themselves even more alienated from a United States exerting its influence upon the Communist Cuban regime. Whether this will translate into the abrupt closing of correspondent bank accounts in New York and Miami, more visa sanctions, or restrictions placed on American vacation visitors into the Caribbean we cannot say, but there most likely will be adverse consequences for the Caribbean, especially since some notably pro-Cuba Caribbean leaders have been quite outspoken as protesting America's efforts to reform the Cuban political model.

GLOBAL SCANDAL, PART 2: HOW NEDA AZARMEHR, IN DIFFERENT ROGUE MIGRATION FIRMS, DEFRAUDED INVESTORS ACROSS GRENADA, CYPRUS, DOMINICA AND UAE

 

                        

LITIGATION IN SINT MAARTEN REMINDS US THAT DOMINICA IS STILL SELLING DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS TO DODGY BUYERS

If you monitor Caribbean media, you may have read that the French luxury brand LOUIS VUITTON is suing the Italian casino owner FRANCESCO CORALLO's Sint Maarten Vegas Casino, for the unlawful of its trademarked designs and logos throughout the casino. A local court has reportedly frozen $350,000 of casino profits, during the pending litigation, which to me demonstrates that the plaintiff may have a solid claim for damages for the illegal use of intellectual property. There are also reported allegations of money laundering and tax evasion, linked to the casino owner's operations in other jurisdictions.

What has surfaced, and what is extremely disturbing is the fact that, back in 2011, the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica appointed CORALLO the country's Ambassador to the United Nations agency, the FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO), which made him a Dominican diplomat under the privileges and immunities that such a position conveys. The position carries with zero diplomatic responsibilities, as the FAO only meets once every two years, and its global headquarters in in Rome, which is convenient for Corallo.

The appointment is only one of several that Dominica's Prime Minister, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, has made to foreign nationals, under suspicious circumstances where it is alleged that illegal consideration may have been accepted to secure it. We have previously reported on several similar appointments, all made by Skerrit, and which are probably violate the requirements of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, of which all UN members are signatories. The abuse of diplomatic passports by those five Eastern Caribbean states that also sell Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) passports has not gone unnoticed by the United States, and has reportedly contributed to American suspicions, and restrictions, imposed, or threatened, on those EC states, especially Dominica and Antigua, both of whom have had dubious diplomatic passport-issuing practices for decades.

WE TAKE YOU INSIDE THE NEW ALEX SAAB MORAN MONEY LAUNDERING INDICTMENT; WHO ARE THE HIDDEN CO-DEFENDANTS?

PM Gaston Browne and Minister Maria-Bird Browne

Let's take a close look at the four corners of the new Federal indictment of ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN (ASM), the Colombian money launderer who was the personal fixer of the former president of Venezuela, NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, while moving all that dirty drug money through ANTIGUA & BARBUDA, as the close associate, and diplomat, of that country's sitting Prime Minister, GASTON BROWNE.

(1) First of all, there are obviously four other co-defendants in the indictment, which is apparent from the redacted ( blacked out) areas on the Style (title) of the case, as well as in the body of the indictment.

(2) Next, the fact that the first redacted name appears ahead of, and not underneath, where Saab's name is placed, generally means that whoever drafted the complaint considers that indivIdual to be more culpable (level of guilt) than ASM. We can only make an educated guess at this point, but indicators point to either DIOSDADO CABELLO RONDON, the Venezuelan Justice & Interior Minister (and principal narcotrafficker leader, with a $25m reward) and PM GASTON BROWNE, who designated ASM an Antiguan diplomat, and allowed free reign to move and clean narcotics profits through both ASM's two offshore banks, and idigenous banks. Remember, Browne is also the Minister for Investment, and he is completely exposed, after he named ASM as Economic Envoy, and allowed him to transfer drity money to Panama, the UAE, Iran and Asia.

(3) That still leaves two other individuals unidentified. We have no real frame of reference, other than they were named back in January of this year (2026), meaning that the Department of Justice had evidence in hand against them prior to that. Could they be two very senior officials in the Antiguan government, such as STEADROY BENJAMIN, the Attorney General and MARIA BIRD-BROWNE, the Minister of Housing and Gaston's current wife. If we are to choose from ASM's closest Vz associates, other than Maduro, we have several to pick from, and the chances being accurate are far less than we like.

AG Steadroy Benjamin

(4) If the current Antiguan response to Saab's extradition is any indication of who is named, we believe that Antiguan officials, rather than Venezuelans, are in those blacked-out areas, but only time will tell. We have been watching, to see whether any of Miami's prominent criminal defense attorneys that are known to handle money laundering and narcotrafficking cases ( the "White Power" bar) are missing from their downtown offices this week, as it would be prudent for Gaston, his wife, and "Cutie" (Benjamin) to retain an American lawyer in advance. Will the DEA show up, with military support, in Antigua one night? We cannot say, but we will be watching.

WILL DISPUTE BETWEEN CAREER CRIMINAL WINSTON CLARKE AND THE BARBADOS BAR ASSOCIATION REVEAL DETAILS OF THE COUNTRY'S MAJOR SEX TRAFFICKING RING?

WINSTON DECOURCEY CLARKE, the career criminal (40 felony convictions, including homicide) who is reportedly moving forward with his arrogant scheme to sue the Barbados Bar Association, which has warned the public about his repeated Unauthorized Practise of Law violations, which constitute crimes, might just be opening a major can of legal worms by filing suit. Clarke, who goes by several aliases, including JOE GRIFFITH, is represented by Bajan attorney CORY H.D. BECKLES, who allegedly has protected Clarke from angry victims who have been deprived of money and assets through his "legal" representation of semi-literate individuals targeted by Clarke.

Cory Beckles Esq.    

A case against the Barbados Bar Association (BBA) may end up exposing the country's principal organized sex trafficking ring, as there have been allegations that it is connected to Clarke and others linked to him. The ring, which is known to traffic vulnerable young Bajans to wealthy businessmen and respected local professionals, has been discussed in local social media of late. Any litigation, in which the BBA must defend itself from Clarke, could result in the outing of those involved in criminal participation; the penalty for such offenses provides for Life imprisonment or $2m BDS fine, or both.

In any event, we will be closely watching any litigation filed, and report back to our readers on all developments, as they occur; Will this be the Barbados version of the Epstein scandal? Stay tuned.

THERE ARE APPARENTLY FOUR CO-DEFENDANTS IN ALEX SAAB'S NEW MIAMI MONEY LAUNDERING INDICTMENT, CASE NO.: 26-CR-20020 (SDFL)

              

The game just got a little more interesting; As you can see, there appear to be four other defendants whose names are redacted from the indictment, meaning that they are most likely NOT in Federal custody, and all information regarding them is sealed. This is often done to prevent the target(s) from fleeing to an non-extraditable jurisdiction, from destroying incriminating evidence, and from eliminating possible cooperating individuals as potential witness at trial.

I wonder if GASTON BROWNE and ROOSEVELT SKERRIT are perhaps meeting with any newly-retained American criminal defense attorneys this week. And who are the other two defendants? Stay tuned.

ALEX SAAB MORAN CHARGED IN NEW MONEY LAUNDERING CASE IN FEDERAL COURT IN MIAMI; DOES HE HAVE CO-DEFENDANTS?

Will they end up sharing a cell, we wonder?

ALEX SAAB MORAN, having been extradited from Venezuela, through some sort of backroom deal between Venezuela's new president and the United States Government, was brought before a Federal Magistrate Judge this week for what is known as a First Appearance. Miami media in attendance reported that he is subject to a new indictment, charging money laundering, and what was described as conspiracy to engage in financial transactions, and concealing the origin of criminal funds. We hope to have further details, and a copy of the indictment, as soon as that information has been made public. Whether the indictment is sealed may indicate that there are additional co-defendants in the case who are outside of the united States, and therefore not in custody. The consensus of opinion here is that, if there are additional defendants at this time, they may include, but not be limited to, Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE and/or Dominica Prime Minister ROOSEVELT SKERRIT. We cannot confirm any additional information at this time, but we will be watching the SDFL docket, to see what is released to the public, and will report back ti our readers forthwith. Those observers who thought that Saab's new case would be filed in District Court in New York (SDNY), to facilitate his cooperation against NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, should note that media present at the brief hearing are not reporting that ther Court ordered him transported directly to Manhattan to face the indictment; therefore, it looks like this new Saab case was filed here in Miami.

NEW MAJOR CHINESE CORRUPTION ISSUES IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO, WITH POTENTIAL AMERICAN NATIONAL SECURITY CONSEQUENCES, MAY CAUSE A SHIFT IN ITS RISK STATUS WITH THE UNITED STATES

This week's passport & residency scandal in the Eastern Caribbean is curiously not coming out of one of the five Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) states that usually are the subject of many of our articles; it is Trinidad and Tobago, a close political ally of the United States. A massive immigration corruption investigation has uncovered bribes and kickbacks , and other illegal conduct, surrounding the country's Immigration Division has become public. There are serious allegations of the sale of passport appointments, residency documents, work permits and even citizenship. Large illicit payments are said to have changed hands.

Of interest to the United States are allegations that agency investigators have filed reports involving Chinese nationals who were allegedly received residency in exchange for investments and construction projects in Trinidad and Tobago. Individuals with residency permits issued by Trinidad may apply for B1/B2 Visas to enter the United States, and given American sensitivity to the significant number of arrests of Chinese nationals, who gain entry only to engage in white collar crime, industrial espionage and intelligence activities, later to be arrested for their crimes, this news may affect how the United States views risk levels regarding Trinidad. If you add to this the renewed American interest in the USD$4.5bn 1MDB Malaysia sovereign wealth fund scandal, with a portion of that stolen wealth reportedly passing through a Trinidad financial institution with a parent company in Switzerland, it is possible that the United States may now reassess Trinidad's current low risk status, or modify its rules on visas issued to T & T nationals and residents. One need only look at the restrictions America has placed upon Antigua and Dominica to see that, where national security issues appear, the United States in 2026 does not hesitate to act. Compliance officers at American financial institutions with international clients, who are charged with calculating and assessing Country Risk, may wish to make further inquiries in this subject.

GLOBAL CBI SCANDAL: HOW NEDA AZARMEHR AND A ROGUE MIGRATION FIRM DEFRAUDED INVESTORS ACROSS GRENADA, CYPRUS AND DOMINICA

A growing financial scandal has raised serious questions about trust, accountability, and the warning signs that often precede fraud. 

The Akros Global Scandal: How a Rogue Migration Firm Defrauded Investors Across Grenada, Cyprus, and Dominica


While the dream of a second passport is a goal for many global investors, the reality behind Akros Global has turned into a legal nightmare. Recent investigations and government reports have unmasked a web of financial crimes, illegal discounting, and outright theft that leaves clients not only broke but also at risk of criminal prosecution.

1. The Grenada Project: A Ghost in the Machine
One of the most egregious violations involves Akros Global’s operations in Grenada. Investigations reveal that the firm solicited massive investments for citizenship projects that were nothing more than a smokescreen.
- The Scam: Investors paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for passports that were never processed due to GSA project scam.

- The Theft: Invoices were issued, and funds were collected, but instead of reaching the government treasury or the approved projects, the money vanished into private accounts. At this moment, numerous victims are left with zero status and no way to recover their life savings.

2. The Illegal "Discount" Trap: Putting Clients at Risk
Akros Global didn't just steal money; they endangered the future of their clients. Under the laws of Grenada and Dominica, selling citizenship at a price lower than the government-mandated minimum is a criminal offense.
- The Violation: To lure victims, the firm offered illegal "discounts" on the investment amounts.
- The Consequence: Investors who participated in these schemes—often unknowingly—face the high probability of having their citizenship revoked and being blacklisted by international security agencies. Akros Global knowingly traded long-term security for quick illegal profits.

3. The Cyprus Million-Dollar Mirage
The fraud extended into the heart of the European Union. While the Cyprus Investment Programme strictly required a minimum investment of €2 million, Akros Global was caught marketing "shortcuts" for as little as $1 million.
By fabricating documents and manipulating real estate valuations, the firm deceived both the Cypriot authorities and their clients. This level of professional malpractice is not just negligence; it is organized financial crime.

 4. Professional Malpractice: Why You Must Stay Away
The individuals behind Akros Global have proven that they do not operate as consultants, but as predators. By ignoring government regulatios and bypassing legal escrow accounts, they have proven that their primary business model is Asset Stripping.

Conclusion: A Network of Deception
The evidence against Akros Global is overwhelming. From the halls of government in Grenada to the luxury real estate markets of Cyprus and Dominica, this firm has left a trail of broken promises and empty pockets.

If you are currently in negotiations with anyone associated with Akros Global, cease all communication immediately. * This is no longer a matter of a failed business; it is a matter of systematic international fraud.

In the world of high-stakes migration, names change, and websites vanish, but the architects of fraud remain the same. At the center of the multi-million-dollar scams involving Akros Global and Cross Border Freedom is one individual whose career is defined by illegal schemes and professional disappearance: Neda Azarmehr.

1. The Akros Global Instigator
Neda Azarmehr was not just a passive employee; she was the aggressive face of Akros Global’s marketing machine. She personally pioneered the illegal advertising campaigns that lured unsuspecting investors into the Grenada and Cyprus traps.
When the walls closed in on Akros Global following reports of stolen funds and failed passport applications, Azarmehr performed a calculated "vanishing act." She scrubbed her professional presence and went underground, leaving hundreds of victims with no answers and no money.

 2. The Rebirth: Cross Border Freedom (CBF)
After laying low, Azarmehr resurfaced at a new entity: Cross Border Freedom (CBF). The name was new, but the tactics were the same. Her involvement with CBF quickly drew the attention of international regulators.
- The Dominican Warning: The scandal reached such a peak that the Government of Dominica issued an official public notice warning against the fraudulent practices of this firm. Azarmehr’s signature tactics—illegal discounting and misrepresentation of government laws—were once again at the heart of the controversy.

 3. Selling the Impossible: The UAE Citizenship Scam
Perhaps the most brazen fraud orchestrated by Neda Azarmehr was the promotion of a UAE Citizenship by Investment program.
- The Fact: No such general citizenship-by-investment program exists in the UAE.
- The Scam: Azarmehr used her platform to market this fictional program, exploiting the prestige of the Emirates to extract massive fees from victims. Reports in international news outlets have since highlighted how multiple families were defrauded of their life savings based on these non-existent UAE promises.

4. The Digital Shell Game: From `cbfiran` to Oblivion
To evade legal scrutiny and the growing outcry from victims, Azarmehr has continuously played a digital "shell game."
1. She operated under Cross Border Freedom.
2. When that became toxic, she migrated to a new handle: cbfiran.com
3. As soon as the evidence of her involvement in the UAE and Dominica scams became undeniable, she once again deleted the page and vanished.

This pattern of building a brand, defrauding clients, and then deleting the evidence is the hallmark of a professional con artist.

 Conclusion: A Warning to the CBI and RBI Industry
Neda Azarmehr’s professional history is a trail of financial wreckage. From the illegal discounts in Grenada to the fictional programs in the UAE, her career is built on the exploitation of those seeking a better life.

The message to the public is clear: Do not be fooled by the next rebranding. Whether she appears under a new firm, a new social media handle, or a new offshore entity, Neda Azarmehr remains a high-risk operative whose presence in the migration industry is a threat to every investor’s security.

UNITED STATES SANCTIONS ELEVEN CUBAN GOVERNMENT LEADERS AS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

These individuals were designated on May 18, 2026, by the U.S. Secretary of State.

US CIA CHIEF WARNS CUBA NOT TO DEPLOY ITS 300 DRONES OFFENSIVELY AGAINST FLORIDA; TIME FOR WEST INDIANS THERE TO RETURN HOME?

There are multiple media reports that the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who held meetings in Cuba recently, warned that government not to consider launching the reputed three hundred drones it has acquired at American targets, under any circumstances. Whether they were obtained from Russia or Iran, these offensive weapons have gotten the attention of the United States, and could result in a preventative American military strike against Cuba, by the Trump Administration, to eliminate such a perceived threat to the American base at Guantanamo Bay, Naval Air Station Key West, and the Southern Command, which is located in Miami.

Such an action would destroy communications inside Cuba, and possibly injure or kill civilians. We suggest that the governments of the Eastern Caribbean states take immediate action to repatriate their citizens attending Cuban colleges, universities and medical schools forthwith, to remove them from harm's way. A number of sitting Caribbean leaders themselves are alumni of Cuban colleges, and they should therefore be sensitive to the dangers posed by the present difficulties between the Cuban regime ands the United States Government, and act accordingly, while civilian aviation service is still operational.

WHY HASN'T GASTON BROWNE FILED A RESPONSE TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL DISCOVERY MOTION IN THE ALFA NERO MIAMI CASE?

If you have been paying attention to the two American §1782 Discovery cases filed in the ALFA NERO scandal, the recent filing of Defamation proceedings in Antigua against the law firm and the partner who represented the yacht owner allowed the lawyers to refile a new §1782 motion for bank information on several parties and entities connected to Gaston Browne who may have received bribes and kickbacks in the sale of the yacht. Note from the attached docket sheet of the proceedings that PM Browne's response was due on May 11, and he failed to file anything. Are his attorneys conceding the point that this new motion is well taken?

ALEX SAAB IS BELIEVED TO BE IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA, AFTER HAVING BEEN EXTRADITED FROM VENEZUELA

Colombian media is reporting that ALEX SAAB MORAN is in American Federal custody in South Florida, which most likely means that he is being held in the Federal Detention Center (FDC) Miami, the administrative security facility for prisoners subject to pre-trial confinement for SDFL. Saab's principal pending case in located in Miami, although he is believed to be slated to testify against his former patron, Ex-President NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, whose case is pending before SDNY.

Saab's extensive prior cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Agency, which was reportedly previously documented during a closed-door hearing, and which resulted in his disgorgement of twelve million dollars of the proceeds of crime, could now continue against Maduro and his wife Flores, as well as giving first-hand information regarding his money laundering days in Antigua, which allegedly involved the country's Prime Minister, GASTON BROWNE, and GLOBAL BANK OF COMMERCE CEO BRIAN-STEWART-YOUNG. Where Saab goes initially to cooperate with American law enforcement will be a indicator which target is first on the US Government's agenda..

FEAR AND LOATHING AMONG THE GUILTY AS THE HEMISPHERE'S PREMIER MONEY LAUNDERER, ALEX SAAB MORAN, IS EXTRADITED FROM VENEZUELA TO THE UNITED STATES

Venezuela's government immigration agency has confirmed that the Colombian Money Launderer to Venezuela's criminal elite, ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN, has been extradited to the United States. Saab, who has been in custody in Caracas since February, and whose ministerial position was terminated by the current president of Venezuela, faces a probable Life Sentence for his crimes, and even a possible Federal Death Penalty for Terrorist Financing resulting in fatalities, personally assisted former Venezuelan President NICOLAS MADURO MOROS in a massive criminal racketeering drug trafficking operation. Who will he testify against first, Maduro, Gaston Browne, Roosevelt Skerrit, or Venezuela's most corrupt senior military leaders?

Inasmuch as Saab, whose previous American Pardon contained several major conditions, which have all been grossly violated since his previous release from custody in the United States, can implicate the most senior government officials in Venezuela, Antigua and Barbuda, and the Commonwealth of Dominica, as well as bankers, attorneys general, and ministers, in all three jurisdictions, we will be closely watching to see whether any of them will choose to flee the Western Hemisphere, ahead of future indictments, and possible seizure in their home countries by US law enforcement agencies, supported by military forces.

We wonder who in St. John's, Caracas and Roseau will be unable to sleep tonight, after retaining the services of the best American criminal defense law firms that will agree to handle their cases.
