BCCI UK class action: founder Abedi in paedophile accusation

[emad]

Snip from BBC:
Bank of England accused over BCCI

"Mr Abedi, the bank's founder, could get you girls, boys or seats at the opera, said the complainants' lawyer"


Bank of England officials "shut their eyes and turned away" instead of clamping down on fraudulent activity at BCCI, the High Court has been told.
Liquidators of the collapsed bank are suing the UK's central bank for about £1bn for "knowingly or recklessly" failing in its supervisory role.

Gordon Pollock QC, for the liquidators, said the Bank "deliberately ran away from seeking to find out sufficient information about BCCI because it didn't want to be drawn into the role of supervisor".

And he accused the Bank of "positively misleading" the Bingham inquiry which was set up after BCCI collapsed and reported in 1992.

SORRY for not posting this earlier last week.

1. Is there any connection between this and...

poppy's man on boy sex ring? I wonder?

2. Ex-CIA spook and Poppy appointee Richard McGarrach Helms,

Robert Maxwell RIP and other notable Bush1 cronies sat on the board of directors of BCCI parent company and held nominal shares in its ownership.

6. Poppy just uses other leader's sexual proclivities as bargaining tools

for his own dirty dealings in drugs, arms, and terrorism. There is a reason the Arab elites have welcomed the Bushes for so many decades, now. Poppy is their conduit and ally.

3. Thanks emad. A story over the weekend about the Children of God

reminded me they, too, are linked to global elites and the Bush clan:

There's no escaping this stuff. There's ignorning it, but there's no escaping it.

4. Thanks - hadn't see that one.

This also reminds me that in January 2004 there was an article in the UK press (Scottish Mail?) about Blair blocking all reference to investigations of paedophiles "in the UK Labour Party" linked to US Operation Ore and previously Operation Landslide.

I remember someone on DU posting a link about this in reply to the well-quoted line from when Poodle first went to visit Shrub at Camp David in early 2001 and was greeted with the immortal words "ello Landslide".....

Another link is the ongoing Roberto Calvi trial in Rome (adjourned since May last year in order to sift through the 70 boxes of evidence that City of London cops suddenly found after 22 years mysterious absence....) The allegation there is that Calvi was a member of the notorious P2 Lodge, a paedophile branch of freemasonry set up by former cohorts of Joseph Stalin, and was murdered by others in the P2.

As I understand it, the current police files contain documents showing that the Vatican bank had mortgaged its assets and then couldn't repay them following huge fines in the 70s....

And then went belly up owing $250million....

5. Do all ped investigations still notify Homeland Security?

What a airtight way of Bushco admins to avoid investigation of themselves it would be.

Every well-meaning right-wing duped cop feels complelled to trust the beneficent federal government with all the spiffy high-tech resourses the feds can muster to help the little state, county, city or duchy doing an investigation.

It could really mean a few, very few, people in power could be forewarned of any investigation that could lead back to themselves. They'd have a lot of passion to be re-elected and they would have a lot of very very loyal operatives from all walks of life. People who know if the "right" things are not said, everything in their lives could go very wrong very fast.
