Just in case you don't know, Iranian-born multi-millionaire Tory donor, Javad Marandi - one of London’s most successful tycoons who has a home on Belgravia’s Eaton Square - is linked to a major money laundering operation.
Just in case you don't know, Iranian-born multi-millionaire Tory donor, Javad Marandi - one of London’s most successful tycoons who has a home on Belgravia’s Eaton Square - is linked to a major money laundering operation.
In the 1990s, he worked as a business development manager for The Coca-Cola Company in Central Asia, & the area manager for emerging markets at Big Tobacco's Philip Morris International, before starting his own businesses in tobacco distribution, advertising & telecommunications.
In 2018, following revelations in the #PanamaPapers, it was reported that the Azerbaijan leader's daughters tried to buy £60m London home with offshore funds, which would have carried ‘significant risk of money laundering’.

He is close to the ruling party in India and perhaps that is what bought him in touch with #AjaySingh of #SpiceJet!

Under proposed UK Government reforms to the Official Secrets Act, UK journalists could be jailed for up to 14 years for publishing stories that 'embarrass' the UK Government - that would be pretty much every honest news story about the UK Government then. 🇬🇧

Christopher Harborne, AKA Chakrit Sakunkrita, is a British businessman a technology investor based in Thailand who has "given" £13.7 MILLION to Nigel Farage & Richard Tice's Reform Party, who has a £150 MILLION stake in the Ministry of Defence research spin-off QinetiQ.

Harborne’s name came up several times in the #PanamaPapers back in 2018, for acting as an intermediary for large firms - just like he’s now accused of doing with Tether, an asset-backed cryptocurrency stablecoin.
Harborne gave £1M to the Office of Boris Johnson Ltd, a company controlled by Boris Johnson (the biggest donation to an individual MP in UK history) & is now the largest single shareholder in UK defence company QinetiQ, that secured an £80M Govt contract.

"I only made this letter longer because I had not the leisure to make it shorter."

Most of this is from basic research I had conducted back in April 2016. Much has changed since then, but unfortunately we haven't progressed as much. We have to start from somewhere, so why not the recent past.

2012: Crow family granted passports through a cash-for-citizenship scheme.

"The documents were leaked from Henley and Partners, a London-based firm known for assisting the ultra-wealthy in obtaining “golden passports,” which allow the holders to shield assets from their home country’s tax authorities."
Even when tens of thousands of St. Kitts and Nevis business documents appeared in the “#ParadisePapers” leak, company ownership was still hidden because the jurisdiction keeps so little information filed.

Happy #PanamaPapers anniversary! Often we take these moments to tell you how the investigation led to laws changed, bad folks arrested, money recovered, etc. But this year, we took a different measure of impact… 🧵 1/14
On a personal note (@hamishbr here at the controls), I remember being caught by surprise in the days after the #PanamaPapers by the protests and the resignations... But what really surprises me *now* are the ways the investigation has infiltrated everyday life and culture. 2/14
So today’s story from @michaelwhudson really struck a chord. A couple of young musicians told him that, as highschoolers, the investigation opened their eyes to “how the world works” — so much so that, years later, they named their band Panama Papers. icij.org/investigations… 3/14
At least five musical groups around the world that have named themselves after the #PanamaPapers. And musicians in multiple countries + languages have recorded at least 38 songs titled “Panama Papers” or some variation, such as “Panama Papers Blues.”
icij.org/investigations… 1/
icij.org/investigations… 1/
These #PanamaPapers songs come from many genres, including punk, funk, metal, techno, ambient, lounge, dubstep, indie rock and free-form jazz. Some are instrumentals. Others feature lyrics that directly address injustice and inequality and their enablers in the offshore world. 2/
3/ For example, Australian metal band Vanquished Kingdom released a song called “Panama Papers” in 2018 that includes these in-your-face lyrics:
White washed tombs, corrupted hearts
the Almighty Dollar’s shills,
it’s all legal, never mind
who it robs or kills
White washed tombs, corrupted hearts
the Almighty Dollar’s shills,
it’s all legal, never mind
who it robs or kills
Seven years ago, I called #LeonardCohen's *Everybody Knows* "the perfect anthem for our times."
> Everybody knows the fight was fixed
> The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
> That’s how it goes
> Everybody knows

That was just after Cohen died, and while the world seems to want to settle on *Hallelujah* as his totemic song, *Everybody Knows* keeps inserting itself into the discourse, in the most toxic, hope-draining way possible. 3/

Bank officials classified Putin pal & his daughter's Godfather as a non politically connected customer to avoid due diligence like asking where the money was coming from.
The banks knew who he was but pretended he was just a conductor at a theater.

Now you see it … now you don’t. The mystery of ancient statues edited from the pages of Architectural Digest sparked a deep dive by @ICIJorg w/@PeterWhoriskey @maliapolitzer into the opaque art trade & surfaced big questions about who should own a nation's cultural heritage.🧵
Our latest was sparked when @ICIJorg reporting fellow @NicoleSadek noticed Khmer statues in a photo of a mansion's courtyard on an architect's website ... and compared it to the version in a 2021 magazine spread, where the statues were missing. icij.org/investigations…
Architectural Digest said it did not show the relics because of “unresolved publication rights around select artworks.”
The Cambodian government says the statues appear to match several that were looted from temples and sold into the black market. It wants them back.

We dug into Cambodia's lost heritage and one of the world’s most elite & secretive trades — the antiquities market — with @washingtonpost & @FinUncovered.
Our latest search on the fate of allegedly looted relics led us to the pages of a luxury magazine. 🧵bit.ly/3w7xMJz

A 2021 @ArchDigest spread on a San Francisco mansion featured a photo of a lavish courtyard with several empty pedestals off to one side.
But our reporters discovered another version of the image showing ancient Khmer sculptures resting there. bit.ly/3w7xMJz

It’s unclear who modified the photo or why, but those sculptures match missing relics that Cambodian officials say were stolen from one of the nation’s most sacred sites years ago — offering clues in a global effort to repatriate 1000s of lost artifacts. bit.ly/3w7xMJz

While this is true, the reasons for the peace and security problems in Africa are IMO a classic wicked problem. Investment alone is not enough. The new U.S. Sahel Strategy identifies that Africa’s security issues are tied to Governance weaknesses - which seems correct.
Thing is though these “Governance Issues” are in large part caused by the manner in which the west has engaged with Africa. Specifically facilitating the theft of the foreign exchange earnings from minimal resource exploitation including hydrocarbons.
This appears to be SOP.

The only way I can conceive of addressing this involves solutions which address the banking intermediaries, and the flawed banking laws, regulations and oversight with make this possible.
