Seychelles Offshore Has Been Hit With a Tsunami of A Scandal


After the Al Jazeera report exposed local Attorney Mr. Charlie Lucas in a blatant money laundering scheme and mis use of offshore company procedures, the institutions of Seychelles went into a tail spin, as if individually we are dealing with chickens without heads. Luckily, there were some sound minds, who rationalized the situation in a serious manner.



Minister of Finance Mis Steps

Pierre Laporte ‘s initial reaction was that what happens in Seychelles happens everywhere else in the world, we are not the exception and he attempted to down play the Al jazeera report. 

Yes Mr. Laporte, money is laundered all over the world in perhaps every country. But not ever country condones and actively supports money laundering like the Seychelles, to make it the money laundering capital for the African region. 

Does Mr. Laporte forget about the Economic Development Act (EDA) , a law devised by the ruling party to give citizenship to any one that invest deposits $2.5 Million into a Seychelles account?  

Does Mr. Laporte forget that thousands of passports sold, literally over the past years, that even Mr. Herminie PL representative in Electoral Reform raised his arms and candidly said to us:” what do we do with these passport holders now?”.

 

National Assembly Reacts

The National Assembly, a PL controlled institution 100% reacted to this exposure and tried to do damage control to Minister Pierre Laporte’s apparent cover up effort. 

Charles De Commarmond MNA asked for investigations, and suspension of licenses of these operating companies with immediate effect. A brave call indeed considering no one has ever been put on trial for laundering money locally in Seychelles. A few accounts have been mistakenly seized but that has been the end of it.

The circumstances behind these seizures of legitimate accounts and funds have been determined by courts to be dubious in the final say, and the credibility of FIU run by an Irish gang is highly questionable. At least the one party state National Assembly said something, which is more then what Mr. Laporte said.



Rising Sun Front Page Editorial Error

After this matter arose, we posted an article on reality about the issue. At about the same time, we posted the letter to Swiss National Bank (SNB) on the missing $2.1 Billion from our accounts, as confirmed by the SNB Governor. Rising Sun in a front page expose’ infers SFP is blowing the issue of money laundering out of proportion in Seychelles. Does Rising Sun not read what Dr. Ramadoss writes or says? The “extra fees” banked in Mauritius for tuna fishing licenses is not money laundering?

Has Rising Sun neglected to pick up on the SNB expose’ of Greek citizen bank accounts which were released to a journalist in Athens only because he asked for the information that quite possibly brought Greece to it’s knees in the same way Seychelles today is on her knees? 

As Chairman of the Seychelles Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Ramadoss and the Editor of Rising Sun or Popip their main writer, should do Seychelles right and proud and write to the SNB and ask for the list of account holders, then give that information to Mr. Pierre Laporte, who cannot seem to find the address of the Swiss National Bank.

 

Seychelles Weekly A Red Herring

Occasionally we see Weekly taking PL side on issues. This case is one of them. The Editor said he absolutely agrees with the Minister Laporte position on the Al jazeera report. This would imply that Weekly agrees that money laundering in Seychelles is not different than anywhere else in the world, and the fact that no cases are brought against the lawyers that launder money, or the companies that are used as tools to launder are just fine for the Weekly turned “Weakly”. Weekly says Al jazeera painted Seychelles offshore “BLACK”. A grey cow is a grey cow. A black cow is a black cow. We do not need Al jazeera to tell us a cow is black. Black is black and red is red – Weekly!

 Weekly covering up for Mr. Pierre Laporte is an unprecedented  Red Herring in an attempt to save who we do not know! 

 

Seychelles Today

This paper just side stepped the issue and walked the fence much like many do in Seychelles Today. Their comments on the issue, are not worth commenting on, aside from the letter Paul Chow wrote, which has a disclaimer placed by the paper next to it.
Mr. Laporte should face up to the responsibility to really make an effort to clean up the mess in the offshore sector, which has gone neglected all these years. I suspect now Weekly will pressure PL and the Seychelles Bar to not touch Charlie Lucas and let the water slide quietly under the offshore bridge.

Mr. Paul Chow Speaks Out

Former leader of the Democratic Party Mr. Paul B. Chow, a key founder of the offshore sector in Seychelles, said “we should not be surprised by the what we saw and heard on Al jazeera”. Mr Chow says this expose’ scandal shows  : “all kinds of unethical conduct goes unpunished or simply brushed under the carpet-treated as business as usual. It is in this swamp that everyone operates under. It would appear Mr. Laporte and Mr. Weakly, is not aware of this swamp. 
 
Mr. Chow raises numerous issues of conflict of interest of SIBA board members serving on SITZ boards such as the Indian Ocean Tuna (IOT). Naturally they receive double finance allocations, that would make the SIBA board itself incapable of administrating the offshore sector, quite the opposite of what Rising Sun asserts( SIBA can take care of offshore sector).

To clean up this swampy affair, Mr. Chow calls for implementation of internationally acceptable ethics. I could not agree more with Mr. Chow. We should start with the lawyers who act locally before the courts, then draft offshore documents for offshore clients, and try to whittle money onshore, and create a total confusion with total disregard of international best practice. 

Finally Mr. Chows warns us, although the Al jazeera expose’ is indeed shameful for Mr. Lucas, Zen offshore and others, it is a great shame on all of Seychelles. For this, he says, we should treat it as a wake up call and “drain the swamp we are in”.

I could not agree with that more. We should start the draining process by holding these culprits accountable, and secondly, ask all these Red Herring journalists in Seychelles, who have joined the cover up effort to get out of the swamp mentality. Seychelles deserves better than that. Shame compounded over more shame!

The best way to drain the swamp is to put Gill in it. If he is not already in it too.

The swamp is full of DELO TRANKIL turned to rot.

Enough of your childish comments.

Drain the swamp as Mr. Chow says.

Mr Chow is a highly reputable leader of the offshore sector and a founder of the very idea for Seychelles. He surely never envisioned that putting a good idea in SPPF hands would lead to this one day.

But that story repeats itself everyday.

Laporte said money LUANDRY happens all around the world.Yes Laporte but the different from Africa where laundry and corruption are endemic,in Western countries there are also STRONG INDEPENDENT INSTITUTIONS in place to tackle,deal with it.

By saying LUANDRY happens all around the world,it seems Laporte to want to tell us that it is normal and we should accept is as normal and that he is not going to act.

Why money laundrying cannot be totally redcue it can be reduce for there are some CHOKE POINT in money laundrying process that launderer fond it difficult to avoid and where he is vulnerable to detection..

THE COKE POINTS ARE:
-Entry of cash in the financing system;
-Transfer to and from the fianacial system;

-Cross borders flow of cash.

The entry of cash into the financial system(placement)stage is where the launderer is most vulnerable to detection.Because of the large amount of cash involved it is extremely hard to place it into a bank account legitimately.( in this process the DEPOSIT -TAKING knowing their customers is imperative to curtail Laundry).

CROSS-Border flows of cash--Customer officers at Airport and port authority can be asked to confiscate large sum of cash if find during their control--for any Persons carrying large amount of Cash should be taken and consider a potential money launderer.

Transfer to and from the fianancial system--is a suspicious sign--and this can provide useful information of The LAYER STAGE of money laundry.

MONEY LAUNDRY PREVENTION
-Provides action-oriented materials that show how to deter,detect and financial fraud cases.
-Offers an understanding of the mechanisms,tool to detect issues,and action list to recover hidden funds.
_covers mechanisms for moving money,identifying risks exposures,and investigating money movement.
-Identify and verifying customers identity and ongoing monitoring of transactions.

In a word LAPORTE should have:
Suspicious activity monitoring
Watch list filtering
Customer due diligence
CRT processing and automation.

Look at the face of LAPORTE on the above photo,this guy is over- dosed,drunk,that he cannot even turned his head to look at the Indian lady in the face.What for a bad manner.Probably if he attempted to turn his head,he would have vomitted in the Indian lady's SALWAAR.

Mr. Chow is right that we are swimming in a swamp. I work for Mr. lucas and he is a total crook.

I have friends in other offshore companies in Victoria House, they are no better according to my friends.

But we need our jobs so we stay silent.

I see from down under after this article and the comments from Mr. Chow the Weekly and Les Seychellois People fellows have gone silent.

A suffering member of the Bossy family said...

Chow is also a crook who stole land from the Bossy family at Mare Anglaise. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor can be tolerated but Chow took from a hard working and modest family who were too trusting and god fearing. We have just as many pirates on our islands as there pare around the Somali waters. Those who steal or take from others like Chow should shut up and thank Jesus for having shown divine mercy in not letting him be prosecuted and jailed. Chow repent whilst you can otherwise the wrath of the Lord will be bestowed upon your children's children. Jesus is great and will forgive those who truly repent and wish to make amends. Evil resides in too many people in this small country and they refuse to change their ways. Paul Chow time is running out and a tortuous death awaits you unless you repent.

It is a real shame and an embarrassment to what those heartless individual are doing to our country. Thinking that Paul Chow and Ralph Volcere will know better.
If Hoarau was still around he would have been shameful about Volcere and Chow. This poor man Hoarau dedicated his life in fighting this criminal government, and two of his best friends sold his blood to the fucking devil. Shame on you assholes.

Now after being busted, try and throw your dirt’s on Gill. It will not work because people are beginning to see what SNP is all about. Some already have keeping away like a bunch of fools instead of fighting back.

Wavel this little secret you are hiding we already know, let’s hope your mediator can stop your fat ugly ass rolling into jail, if she get got manipulating the other person’s involve, her too will end up behind bars. Greedy bastard.

Charles Lucas said that he is one of the most powerful man in the Seychelles.

Seychelles is the only place you will ever be powerful,Mr Lucas because it is corrupt throughout the land, and for the fact that you hold secrets of those murdering mysteries.
Tell us Mr Lucas how many young Seychellois Heroes have you assist in murdering? Isn't that so shameless Mr Lucas.
Mr Lucas you are not only shameless and corrupt you are also heartless and manipulative.

All you know about the USA is what the MAIN-STREAM MEDIA tells you. The truth about the US is not on CNN, FOXNEWS OR CNBC, it is from independent journalisms. If you diversify your source of news, you will get to know a little bit more about the US of A.

You are mis-informed my friend! And you are calling other people stupid! What is democracy anyway? Is it a vehicle for the rich to get a free ride on the poor?

The US citizens are fighting to restore their own constitution, we should support them in their fight because if they win the whole world will win.

If you want to make analogy on democracy, pick Venezuela, Iran etc... countries with more then 80% of their eligible voters participating in election. :) :)
