POLITICALLY EXPOSED PERSONS (PEPS) FOUND IN THE GASTON BROWNE ANTIGUA CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF §782 DISCOVERY APPLICATION IN U.S. DISTRICT COURT

A number of readers indicated that they wanted to know the identities of the individuals named in the Declaration for the Discovery Application that, because of their connections to Antigua's Prime Minister, GASTON BROWNE, are considered to be Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) for compliance purposes, according to the generally accepted industry definition. Where relevant and known, I have further identified them by their family relationship, occupation or profession. They are all named in the Discovery request, filed in both SDNY and SDFL courts, in what has been captioned by the Applicant as IN RE: GASTON BROWNE CORRUPTION DISCOVERY APPLICATION.

We shall continue to report on the developments in this case, as they unfold. Given that the Court in SDNY granted the Application, the evidence ultimately produced could be potentially as revealing for corruption, fraud and money laundering in Antigua as the §782 proceeding in the MSR Media case was for Saint Kitts & Nevis, and other states in the East Caribbean; Stay tuned.
