MASSIVE REAL ESTATE THEFT AND FRAUD CONTINUES UNABATED AND UNCHECKED IN BARBADOS

The diversion and rampant misappropriation of large tracts of prime real estate by a large number of corrupt attorneys, acting in concert, has deprived a substantial number of Bajans (Barbadians) of their family heritage. Overpopulation  of attorneys in the large island nation, and their knowledge that neither the bar association nor the corrupt courts system will rein in their illegal activities, has resulted in huge pieces of real estate being stolen from its rightful owners, during estate proceedings, through fraud and forgery, and through a number of illegal procedures through which the attorneys exploit and cheat generally uneducated local citizens out properties their ancestors acquired centuries ago.

The extent of the systematic fraud is so large that it cannot be ascertained; it reaches to the highest levels of the country's Supreme Court, and even to the Office of the Prime Minister. Many government officials, formerly attorneys in private practice themselves, engaged in such illegal conduct on their way up the political ladder, and therefore, not only are the corrupt attorneys guilty, but several senior government officials as well. Local media in Barbados, under the influence of powerful lawyers and businessmen, are afraid to expose these crimes, due to well-placed fear of being murdered for the truth. We have covered this subject in depth in recent years, and are now returning to it to educate any hotel or commercial enterprise considering purchasing real estate there, so that they are aware of fatal title problems that rule out any acquisition as unacceptable risk. 

Fortunately, the situation appears to have reached the point where activists amongst the many victims are gathering up others who are similarly situated, and who have lost real property through attorney  and/or corrupt government misconduct, to take action in jurisdictions where corruption is trumped by the Rule of Law; stay tuned.
