Senior govt official’s son found with undeclared US currency

U.S. Currency

THE son of a senior government official was held at Piarco airport by custom officers for money laundering. The man, who is a businessman, was found with undeclared foreign currency in excess of US$20,000. Sources say the man, whose family has investments, in the hospitality industry, a travel agency and a shopping centre, was returning to Trinidad recently from Florida when he was searched and found to be in contravention of his Customs and Excise declaration form. “The government official’s relative behaves as though he has powers and could do as he pleases. “He just refused to declare the excess money,” said a source. TnT Mirror was reliably informed that the young man contacted his relative when he was detained by customs. The government official quickly contacted his people and pleaded for assistance.On the intervention of someone on high, the young man, who is said to be a football fan, was given a stern warning and his money was returned. “He was not fined and was allowed to leave,” Mirror learnt. Under normal circumstances Mirror was reliably informed that the items will be confiscated and the person guilty is liable to a fine determined by the Comptroller of Customs. The fine is normally paid at Customs and Excise Division at the airport before the guilty person is allowed to leave, Mirror was told.

[bluefete]

On allegations that two of his close relatives were under arrest in the United States for money-laundering, Warner said: “I heard that allegation and I challenge anybody to print it or publish it or put it in the news. I don’t have to answer you. “If they claim they are detained, then call them and find out. You have their phone numbers.” Pressed further, Warner added: “I will not say anything unless someone is bold enough or brave enough to print something. I challenge anybody in the media to do that. I will like to be a rich man.


“I have said nothing and I say to you that [my two relatives] are not in any way incarcerated and I won’t say much more than that. If anybody knows anything otherwise, then print it.” Warner said he would not be deterred by detractors but vowed to bring crime under control and said he chose not to attend the Caricom meeting in Haiti with the Prime Minister because of the current crime wave.



He added: “I did not attend with the Haiti delegation. The Prime Minister did ask me and I told the PM that with the level of crime in the country and the fact that there is no [junior] minister in my ministry, I wanted to stay here to keep my finger and my pulse on the crime.” He also denied he was going to resign. “You ever know me to run from anything?” he asked.

Minister’s son under sealed indictment in US

Sunday, March 10, 2013
DENYSE RENNE

Information on a case against the son of a senior government minister in the United States is hard to come by because the circumstances surrounding the case have been cloaked in secrecy, as authorities there are dealing with it through a sealed indictment.



A Sunday Guardian investigation has revealed the minister’s son is under house arrest in the US and is also assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with investigations. Sources say US authorities have already signalled their intention to interview the minister, who they say will assist greatly in their investigations.



Since his son’s detention, local sources say, the minister has not travelled to the US. The investigations, sources say, have so far centred on money-laundering, fraud and tax evasion. The minister’s son was held in December last year when he arrived in the US. A source described it as a highly sensitive case, explaining, “Only the officers dealing with the matter are aware of what is taking place.



“Those involved are sworn to secrecy.” Under a sealed indictment, no information about the case goes public until the prosecution is satisfied that all the parties implicated and evidence to support the allegations are before the courts. The fact that the indictment is sealed means it is not even registered on a judicial database.



It also means the public does not have access to documents or information, even about such basic facts as the identities of the prosecution, judge, defendants, evidence to be led and even the charges. Though no time frame has been given for the lifting of the seal, sources say once this is done, the contents of the case will be made public.



The secrecy cloak, the source explained, is the reason why international, regional and local media outlets have been unable to unearth any information. So far, the case has taken investigators to different international jurisdictions and they have already gathered a dossier of financial statements from various countries.





In applying for the indictment to be sealed, sources say the prosecutors outlined a plethora of reasons, one of which was that several high-ranking people worldwide are implicated and investigations are ongoing. International law enforcement agencies have also discovered numerous shady transactions involving the setting up of overnight companies and offshore banking accounts.





Several calls to the minister’s cell phone and messages left were not returned. Contacted on the matter, the US Embassy said, “As a matter of long-standing policy we do not comment on, confirm or deny law-enforcement matters.” The Department of Justice in the US, in an e-mailed response to a query, wrote: “In addition to our spokesperson looking into your request, I would suggest contacting the FBI Public Affairs Office.”



When the Sunday Guardian contacted that office, we were told it was not the policy of the FBI to comment on cases.





More info

In the US, a grand jury hears the key facts of a case to decide if there is enough evidence for someone to stand trial. If the jurors believe a trial is warranted, they issue an indictment—a formal accusation which serves as a warning to the accused that a trial will be held. Sometimes it is determined that the indictment should be kept secret.



A secret indictment is also known as a sealed indictment or silent indictment. In this case, the documentation surrounding the indictment is kept under seal, and no one involved may discuss the indictment outside of the grand jury hearings, or with anyone else once the hearings are over. Once unsealed, there is a possibility the information/evidence can be used in apprehending a bigger culprit.



When the seal is lifted, the contents of the indictment can be made public.

WHERE IS DARYAN WARNER?
Posted on March 6, 2013 by rogetsmith
Missing for several months

Weekend Issue, March 3rd, front page reads: WHERE IS DARYAN WARNER?

RUMOUR, mauvais langue and dark speculation surround the mystery of the whereabouts of National Security Minister Jack Warner’s son, Daryan Warner. Daryan has dropped out of public sight for the past couple of months and his father has not been helpful when asked about this. The Minister has been flippant, telling journalists that they could print the “wild rumours” they heard and risk being sued. Reports are that Daryan is in Florida being held against his will This could not be confirmed nor could the reasons for this ascertained. Attempts by TnT Mirror to speak with Daryan were futile. Mirror contacted Simpaul’s Travel in an attempt to get in contact with Daryan and was informed that messages must be left in a bin for the courier to deliver to him. “He is not at the office,” the woman at Simpaul replied. Daryan’s social networking Facebook page has not been updated for one year and appears to be neglected. Sources close to Warner’s son, however, said he is not in the country and has not been at their home for sometime. But while he is not around, sources say it is business as usual. “Everything is normal and bills are being paid,” a source said. Many are now calling on Daryan to clear the air.

What does young Warner owe the public and why? If he is nowhere to be found, why is this a bother for anyone?
