POLITICAL OPERATIVE HARTLEY HENRY'S ROLE IN AN INCOMPLETE AND ABANDONED CHINESE PROJECT IN BARBADOS WHERE MILLIONS DISAPPEARED

In a recent article, we detailed the close relationship between Barbados political consultant HARTLEY HENRY and the Chinese company CARIBBEAN GALAXY, and took you through how he provided campaign funding for Galaxy to politicians in St.Kitts and in Saint Lucia, in exchange for Galaxy receiving a virtual monopoly on lucrative Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) programs in both countries. THE MAN BEHIND CHINA'S PLAN TO DOMINATE EAST CARIBBEAN POLITICS AND CREATE A SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FOR THE PRC

Now, let's look at what Henry did in his native Barbados. After Hurricane Elsa in 2021, the Barbados government announced plans to construct 150 climate-resilient steel single-family residences. Henry introduced a Chinese company to handle the project, securing an initial contract of USD$23.64m. The cost later was increased to $52.72m, without any clear explanation. Then, the Chinese company abandoned the project altogether, without completing it, and disappeared with the construction funds. Henry's relationship with Barbados PM MIA MOTTLEY, to whom he was acting as political advisor, deteriorated when it was revealed that he had reportedly received substantial commissions from the Chinese company for securing the contract.

An inquiry into his finances failed to find any evidence of corruption in his local bank accounts, but the government later learned from a Chinese company insider that Henry had received funds into his Miami bank accounts, and that there were other transactions made with BITCOIN. Henry then left Barbados, and relocated to Miami, where it is reported that he enjoys a lavish lifestyle. It is believed that PM Mottley terminated his status as her advisor.
