DAVID MURCIA GUZMAN TO GET A SENTENCE REDUCTION



David Eduardo Helmut Murcia Guzmán, the twice-convicted Ponzi schemer and money launderer, will reportedly be granted a reduction of his current term of incarceration in an American prison, to only six years. He has allegedly rendered Substantial Assistance to US law enforcement agencies, to qualify for a sentence reduction.  What's wrong with this picture ?

Murcia, it is estimated, moved over $200m in cash, Ponzi scheme proceeds as well as narcoprofits of organised crime, in accounts in the Republic of Panama. Most of this illicit wealth was never recovered, and many Colombians lost their life savings to the prepaid debit card scam. Since it is doubtful that the investors will ever recover their money, why will Murcia get a break in his sentence ? Read on.

New information indicates that Murcia has implicated others in his Panamanian money laundering scheme, which reached into the United States, and indictments of prominent Panamanian residents, as well as senior government figures, are expected. These individuals assisted in the bulk cash smuggling of the proceeds of crime, the subsequent placement of dirty cash into the Panamanian banking system, and the ultimate investment of some of the funds into real estate, aircraft, luxury automobiles and yachts.

The upcoming indictments, which are generally sealed so long as the defendants are not in US custody, could result in arrests when the defendants venture outside Panama. We shall be following this unfolding story as it develops.

  2. Las sociedades anónimas Blackstone International Development y DMG Forex, no fueron las únicas creadas y representadas por las firmas Rosas & Rosas y Overseas Management Company (OMANCO), para el colombiano David Murcia Guzmán, sino que existen otras a las cuales renunciaron el pasado 20 de marzo.

    Representantes de ambas empresas panameñas revelaron a Panamá América que renunciaron como agentes residentes y directivos de las sociedades, al enterarse que pertenecían a Murcia, sin embargo, no revelaron sus nombres.

    "Descubrimos que Blackstone estaba en algo extraño el día que lo vimos en la prensa local. A mí me sonó su nombre y de una vez que llegué a la oficina lo verifiqué y en efecto era esa, al igual que DMG Forex, por eso es que todas las renuncias se dieron ese mismo día. Al igual que otras empresas que teníamos con la firma de abogados allá" en Colombia, sostuvo Marcela Lombardo, vicepresidenta regional de OMANCO.

    Lombardo expresó que en el 2005, el "cliente" colombiano solicitó que cambiaran a la sociedad Ultra Mega Development como directiva de Blackstone para introducir a Mónica Giovanna Mazzilli Rossi, actualmente presa y acusada en Colombia de fraude por la empresa EcoPetrol.

    "Mientras que el abogado Juan Carlos Rosas, de Rosas & Rosas, indicó que desconocían que Blackstone tuviese una cuenta por $2.2 millones en el banco neoyorquino Merrill Lynch, objeto de investigación en los Estados Unidos.

    "No sabíamos del poder para la cuenta. Nosotros no conocemos el manejo administrativo de las empresas", resaltó Rosas.
