RAMPANT MONEY LAUNDERING AND FRAUD RAGES UNCHECKED IN BARBADOS; THIS DISQUALIFIES THE COUNTRY'S PRIME MINISTER FOR ANY UNITED NATIONS POST

We written extensively on this blog regarding the systemic corruption in the Republic of Barbados, whereby many of the island's senior attorneys routinely engage in probate fraud, real estate fraud and money laundering, to steal and acquire valuable land, which they convey to third parties, including European and American companies involved in building resorts. The victims are usually uneducated Bajans who are unaware that their deceased relative owned extensive real estate at the time of their death, and these lawyers illegally transfer title, using co-conspirators, and receive huge fees as the result. '

Most legal experts believe that their actions regarding transfer of illegal sale proceeds and fees constitute money laundering, and that some of those payments being in US Dollars, confers extraterritorial jurisdiction under the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, and case law construing that Act.

When some of victims became aware of the fraud, their efforts to obtain justice have been repeatedly foiled by the local bar association, the corrupt judiciary, and uncooperative government officials. The Government of Barbados ignores their plight, because in truth and in fact many of these same senior government officials have previously themselves been engaged in this illegal activity, and after becoming wealthy in this illicit manner, ran for office to acquire still more power, as well as impunity against any enforcement activities that might be brought against them by their victims. The jurisdiction is a legal nightmare of any victim of this fraud who seeks legal redress in any quarter.

There have been allegations of this type of misconduct, made by citizens of Barbados who claim to be victims, including against the current government leader, MIA AMOR MOTTLEY. Mottley has been named as one of 98 attorney-defendants, in a civil RICO case brought against individuals accused of probate and real estate theft, styled  Alex Mitchell et al vs. Mia Amor Mottley et al,  presently pending in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court in Florida. We have previously covered this civil action in detail here.

The utter failure of the sitting Government of Barbados to rein in this systematic fraud of the country's avaricious professional class makes Ms. Mottley, in our humble opinion, unsuitable for consideration to any leadership role at the United Nations. In addition, the possibility that there may be additional civil, or even criminal, cases filed against her in the future, regarding this scandal, would have serious effect upon the level of trust that the world has upon the senior leaders of the UN. We find her unqualified for any United Nations office, so long as probate fraud and real estate fraud, by lawyers, run rampant in Barbados.
