[sMASH]

Oliver was a bit politically correct by their standards... Probably did not want to offend his host while still a guest in his house.

If they had enough time to research jack, they might be able to do a whole show on him.

John has a personal interest in fifa and jack said he had info on them, what he is asking is that jack put his files where his mouth is and spill the beans.
He did that to show jack buying air time does not make u above any laws or rules and that anybody with means can do it... Is no scenes.

HOUSE SPEAKER REJECTS WARNER'S ATTEMPT TO HAVE ROWLEY'S SUSPENSION LIFTED

Last Updated on 09.06.2015

A Motion by Chaguanas West Member of Parliament Jack Warner to rescind the suspension of Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley from the Parliament was shot down by House Speaker Wade Mark on Friday.

Mr. Warner, the lone Opposition MP present in the Parliament since Dr. Rowley's suspension over the emailgate matter, sought leave under Standing Order 17 to move a definite matter of urgent public importance.

He said in light of the public statement by the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, the emails have not been determined to be fake by the Office of the DPP or the police.

Mr. Warner further argued that the process to suspend the Opposition Leader was fundamentally flawed and strikes at the heart of the nation's democracy, the nation's international image and public confidence in the Parliament as the seat of democracy.

"The urgent need for the House to rescind the suspension of the Leader of the Opposition in the light of the public statement by the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions on Wednesday May 13th, 2015 that the emails read into the record by the Leader of the Opposition have not been determined by the Office of the DPP or the police to be fake."

However, House Speaker Wade Mark ruled that the matter did not qualify as one of definite and urgent public importance.

"I wish to advise the Member for Chaguanas West that because of the provisions of Standing Order 51, this matter cannot be pursued under Standing Order 69 because he has filed a Motion in accordance with Standing Order 35, which qualifies for imminent debate."

Since the suspension of Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley from the Parliament last week, PNM MPs, in a show of solidarity, have stayed away from sittings of the Lower House.http://ctntworld.com/cnews2/index.php?o ... Itemid=707

US$1.2M BRIBE FOR JACK

Disgraced former vice-president of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and MP for Chaguanas West Jack Warner allegedly collected a US$1.2 million bribe from former FIFA presidential candidate and Qatari billionaire Mohamed bin Hammam for arranging the infamous May 2011 cash-for-votes meeting at the Hyatt Regency (Trinidad) hotel in Port of Spain, according to documents seen by the Express.

Warner has repeatedly denied the bribe-paying allegations of packaged US$40,000 envelope inducements handed out to Caribbean Football Union (CFU) delegates, but US investigators say he was handsomely rewarded for his role in the affair with a US$1.2 million kickback from the former president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and former FIFA presidential candidate.

Documents obtained by the Express show bin Hammam paid a US$1,212,000 wire transfer to a private Warner account held at Intercommercial Bank Ltd, Chaguanas branch, on July 14, 2011, some two months after the failed bribe attempt to influence the 2011 presidential vote in football's world governing body, FIFA.

According to a US Department of Justice (DOJ) document, the US$1.2 million bribe followed a failed attempt a month earlier by a bin Hammam-owned company, Khalid Electrical and Mechanical Est (Kemco), to route three wire transfer payments totalling US$1.2 million through a US bank to separate accounts controlled by Warner's indicted sons, Daryan and Daryll, and his personal assistant.

US banks raise red flags



The June 2011 scheme collapsed after the transaction was red-flagged by a US bank which requested further information relating to the “purpose of the transfers”, according to the DOJ document.

E-mail correspondence, bank records, witness testimony and other documents, said the DOJ, revealed that after the initial attempt to wire the money failed, Warner's personal assistant e-mailed bin Hammam's office with a template suggesting how Kemco should word “the purpose” for the transfer of funds.

“Kemco subsequently sent to the banks letters incorporating the suggested language,” said the DOJ document, adding “notably, each letter provided a different explanation as to the purpose of the proposed transfer. The letter to the bank where the account of Warner's assistant was held stated that the transfer, in the amount of US$412,000, was intended to offset expenses associated with meetings held in Trinidad and Tobago, Zurich, Switzerland and New York, USA of delegates and officers of the Caribbean.”

The Kemco correspondence advised that the US$412,000 payment represented costs associated with airfare, accommodation, logistics related to meetings, interpretation equipment and services, among other things.

The Kemco explanation for a US$432,000 payment to Daryll Warner's account was “to offset legal expenses incurred by legal counsel” in Trinidad in an ongoing matter.

The reason provided for the third wire transfer payment in the amount of US$368,000 to Daryan was “to offset legal expenses for foreign lawyers as well as for expenses associated with meetings of delegates and officers of the CFU in the Caribbean”.

But even after receipt of these further explanations, the recipient banks still asked more questions, said the DOJ document, adding that on June 22, 2011, Warner's assistant advised Kemco to just give the banks a new storyline.

The revised story relating to a contract between the Qatari company and Warner's two sons and personal assistant based on their so-called “relationship, understanding and history with all the players, regionally and internationally” failed to pass scrutiny and the banks refused to accept the wire transfers.

Direct payment to Warner

one month later



Unable to obtain the bin Hammam money through his several intermediaries, Warner accepted a direct payment to his private Intercommercial Bank account one month later on July 14, 2011, according to the DOJ document.

The money was wired from a Kemco corporate account at a Doha Bank in Qatar through Wells Fargo Bank NA to Intercommercial Branch at 111 Wall Street, New York. The actual transfer amount flowing from the wealthy Gulf state was for US$1,211,980, but the currency adjustment saw a figure of US$1,211,000.

The DOJ document said prosecutors involved in the FIFA corruption investigation believe that: “Warner first attempted to have these funds wired through intermediaries to avoid detection. When that failed, the funds were transferred directly from Kemco to Warner.”

Investigators pointed to:

1. Warner's efforts to conceal the transfer of funds;

2. The inconsistent explanations provided for the payments;

3. The absence of any known legitimate business relationship between Kemco and Warner.

The DOJ document stated: “The funds appear to be monies paid by bin Hammam to Warner in connection with his assistance in facilitating the bribery of the CFU officials who attended the May 2011 meeting and for his continuing support thereafter when the bribery scheme was uncovered.”

US investigators found that prior to the transfer of funds to Warner's Intercommercial Bank account in Trinidad, bin Hammam attempted to transfer the funds to Warner's Cayman account at Fidelity Bank in the name of J&D International. The bank where Warner's former pal and indicted Concacaf (Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) president Jeffrey Webb was a consultant refused to accept the Kemco wire transfer.

Prosecutors surmised that: “Warner, by means of an international wire transfer that travelled through the United States, received payments in Intercommercial Bank account 373498-0401 connected to a bribery scheme, in violation of his duties to FIFA, CONCACAF and the CFU, and thus used that account to commit and facilitate the commission of honest-services wire fraud.

“The wire transfer, as well as the attempted transfers that preceded it, also constitutes money laundering, as it and the prior transfers were designed to promote and conceal the fraud.”

US$220,000 to Daryan

for 'child support'



The source of funds declaration, signed by Warner, said the bin Hammam payment was for: “professional advisory services”.

A supporting letter from bin Hammam's private company, dated July 14, 2011, said: “This is to advise that monies in the amount of US$1,2 million was wire transferred to Mr Jack Warner by Kemco to offset professional services provided over the period 2005-2010.” The address he provided for Kemco was PO Box 2642, Doha, Qatar.

At a time when a players court dispute threatened to make him a party to the proceedings, Warner is said to have used US$778,774.30 of the bribe payment from bin Hammam to settle an outstanding debt to the Soca Warriors.

The US document cited the six-figure payment made to the Registrar of the Supreme Court. He also provided a US$200,000 payment to Daryan for ''child support''.

As reported in a special Warner series published in this newspaper, bin Hammam also made a US$250,000 payment to Warner in 2008 and provided a US$363,537.98 wire transfer payment to a Republic Bank CFU account controlled by the ex-regional football jefe in April 2011 to take care of the associated costs related with arranging the infamous Hyatt meeting in Port of Spain.

[Chimera]

For men wanting to hide bribe money.....they really wasn't too smart about it eh.....just doing wire transfer to personal accounts normal normal.

[Slartibartfast]

The banks frustrated him into doing that. I mean, what other option he had, it's not like he could make his sons go and collect the money in briefcases full of money... oh wait...

[Redman]

So we have the US with a given mandate to aggressively seek to forfeit and repatriate funds stolen by political appointees.
TnTs FIU is a member of the Egmont group.

We have Jack sons convicted of FIFA related cross border financial crimes


And we have an FIU run by Dana Seetahal's Sister,preceded by David West.....

[desifemlove]

why should he? extradition has to be proven, it's up to the US feds to do that. He may be an alleged crook, but he has rights.

And am i de only tinking Kamla booted him cos she was old of dis investigation by the US feds? So for two years, she been tinking "ha, USA have for you!"

Trinidadians should stand up and DEMAND that JW be sent to face the charges against him!

and what about ish and steve ,who stole our money? and why cant we get calder hart while we at it?

That is a question for our Attorney General to answer. We never ask for Hart to be extradited.

[Chimera]

If a us citizen commits a crime in trinidad, do we get to extradite the us citizen to trinidad to face the courts? Genuine question

so attorney general have to answer for ish and steve and not warner? or did you ignore those two and reply only for hart?

[desifemlove]

If a us citizen commits a crime in trinidad, do we get to extradite the us citizen to trinidad to face the courts? Genuine question

s/he would face our courts. not sure exactly how it works, but I think it's when a person flees or is in another country.

[Habit7]

Jack Warner has a right to due process. If the US has charges against him, Jack Warner has right to challenge TT willingness to hand him over based on the strength of the US' evidence.

The same govt that allowed for Section 34 demanding that Jack relinquish his right to due process and walk right into a US court?

When Dr. Rowley told the PM not to have Jack in the Cabinet because of his position in FIFA, Kamla said that Jack will raise TT international profile...now that Jack drawing the international attention she longed for she doesn't want to face the music?

[R!CH!E]

Don't you all feel disgusted, slighted and downright abused???

This John Oliver person, came on our local station and attacked our vernacular, our intelligence, our hearing and our free will.

Well I do, I am a trini, I have no problem with him "witch-hunting" Jack, but I have a problem when he thinks we can only understand "trini slangs" shouted at us.

Lastly, thank you TV6 for allowing him to rape our eyes and ears! We know that the owners of this TV6/CCN was part of Jack's money laundering and hope they get arrested.

[Dizzy28]

People real thinned skin if they felt that John Oliver clip was insulting to the country. Glad you all are not Americans and see what Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert use to say about America every night of the week.
