BCCI class action begins January 13th, London, UK
Advertisements [?]
In the Royal Courts of Justice in Central London, the much delayed creditors' action aganist the Bank of England finally starts. Despite 12 years' of obstruction, obfuscation, suborning of witnesses and political blocking of sensitive evidence, the case is finally coming to trial. Most relevant will be evidence held in the Bingham Enquiry Unit which contains data banks of forensic information that was suborned by successive UK prome ministers, including John Major and Tony Blair.

To all those who testified before the Bingham - and previously before Bob Morgenthau when he busted BCCI in NY - and to all those whose families have been subjected to violent criminal harassment as a result of leaks emanating from the BFEE - A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Interesting to note that the Carribean offshore companies registered in the late 1970s and early 1980s which controlled the parent holding companies of BCCI and its subsidiaries show shareholdings affiliating George Walker Bush and the recently-busted Parmalat chief Calisto Tanzi, now wanted for a $400 million heist of european dairy industry shareholders' funds. This data is not currently available on-line, hence on link. However, the chief witnesses testifying on behalf of the creditors are published journalists whose reference works are stored both in the British Library in the UK, the Library of Congress and the archives of the Federal Reserve.

The case is sub-judice which means that no more can be stated at this stage either in print and on the web.

Hope to keep you updated as and when the trial judge rules on what is admissible to the public domain.

In the meantime, a personal wish for Jenna and Barbara: hope you get to meet your true, extended family in the UK and elsewhere - siblings included - in 2004, before their own stories hit the press....
