***FATF, DISTRACTIONS & THE ASSASSINATION OF DANA SEETAHAL SC | A MESSAGE FROM 'HIGH PLACES?"***
The Financial Action Task Force (FAFT) has made numerous required recommendations for high risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions. In fact at one point under the Persad-Bissessar Administration, T&T was on the brink of being blacklisted and categorized as a 'high risk and non-cooperative jurisdiction' causing Trinidad & Tobago to be blacklisted intermittently for failure to comply. After major international embarrassment, including a verbal accosting from French President Nicolas Sarcozy on TT Govt's lack of political will. Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar lobbied FATF and committed to passing a series of legislation conforming to requests by a deadline given.
As a result, Trinidad and Tobago was no longer subject to FATF monitoring as a high risk country. The Prime Minister gave both a written and verbal assurance to FATF to implement enforcement and prosecution legislation dealing with the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financial Terrorism requirements, otherwise known as AML/CFT Obligations. The People's Partnership Government has committed to FATF to bring forward legislation to deal with the prosecution of persons who have amassed 'unexplainable wealth' due to Financial Impropriety, Money Laundering and other illicit financial acts.
According to the recommendations by FATF the legislation would enable the Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to have the powers of enforcement to go after persons based on financial intelligence gathering and SARs to begin prosecuting those who have been involved in illicit activity such as money laundering and other activities.
How does it all LINK?
Well first of all, the Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is Susan Francois, who is the late Dana Seetahal's sister. In an era where the system of white collar crime in 'high places' was about to be unraveled before the public, her sister, a prominent Senior Council was ambushed and assassinated as a possible warning to Mrs Francois to 'TOW THE LINE'. It is a matter of public record, that the FIU under her stewardship had previously placed information concerning a senior govt official's financial activity along with that of a lawyer he was working with in the public domain. But without clear powers of authority or enforcement, many people complained that the FIU was a waste of time. We subsequently learned that a 'prominent official' had amassed over 19 properties (MALL, CONDOS, RESIDENTIAL PLOTS) at home and abroad in a short period of time.
There have also been several other prominent officials who have amassed wealth that they just cannot explain. But there is one in particular that caught the publics attention some time ago. Linked to this is a well orchestrated attempt to mask hundreds of millions of dollars from the state through the litigation process by undermining the 'Integrity of the State's Defenses" and engaging in "Collusion" and "unethical business ventures" to ensure that "external practices" lawyers of which are friendly and may emanate from a beneficial legal firm (as it were) were able to "procure unjustifiably high settlements" and walk away with millions of dollars in legal briefs and cases.
An election is around the corner and it is in the interest of questionable parties to protect their quote unquote unethical "INVESTMENTS" and this last month has been riddled with leaks, discoveries and expose's on wrong doing, unethical financial practices and conflict of interest in the discharging of functions. It reached an all time high and almost looked like it would hit at the very core of this administration. Before it was abruptly put to an end with the ASSASSINATION of DANA SEETAHAL SC. Especially as it relates to the First Citizens Share Scandal. All of which is liked in a well orchestrated labyrinth of corruption, money laundering and means of financing upcoming campaigns overseen and allowed to take place uninhibited from the direction of persons and officials 'High Places".
The Government has no choice but to bring this legislation forward and adhere to FATF rules, but could this be a motive and reason to ASSASSINATE DANA SEETAHAL SC so as to prevent this information from spilling out into the Public Domain? After all, it did appear that the government was forced into a corner. Now we are all DISTRACTED as a result of this ASSASSINATION and key persons have been left markedly SCARED in the JUDICIARY as well as key democratic institutions of the STATE.
