RAMPANT REAL ESTATE FRAUD CONTINUES IN SAINT LUCIA, AND THE COUNTRY'S PRIME MINISTER, FINANCIALLY BENEFITING FROM THE ILLEGAL SCHEME, BLOCKS NECESSARY REFORM

Longtime readers of our financial crime articles may recall that, back in 2021 and 2022, we covered the Land Registry fraud being conducted in Saint Lucia, whereby corrupt government officials in the land registry department altered deeds and other indicia of ownership of real property, to deprive expat Saint Lucians, as well as the heirs of local landowners who passed away, and whose assets were in probate. This, which is still being perpetrated upon the people of Saint Lucia, is accomplished through forgery, alteration and counterfeiting of deeds and conveyances, and outright theft and destruction of legitimate evidence of title, all by a group of clerks, lawyers and government ministers engaged in a conspiracy to take possession of valuable land, and sell it to unsuspecting purchasers.

The ruling Labour Party, which had promised when coming into office to abolish this illegal and amoral practice, has utterly failed to initiate a Land Registry Audit, as promised at election time. The organized fraud has continued, and our reliable sources have confirmed that the principal reason no reform has occurred, is that the country's Prime Minister, PHILLIP JEAN PIERRE, is receiving a portion of the illicit profits from the scheme, and has therefore blocked all efforts for an audit of the Land Registry records, and the claims of legitimate landowners for either their property, or the fair market value thereof. It appears that only regime change in Saint Lucia will result in effective land registry reform, to obtain justice for the victims, and PM Pierre must be called to account for his unexplained wealth in a court of law.
