US Seeks Forfeiture Of $100m Laundered For Diezani by Truth234(m): 4:18am On Jul 15, 2017 |
The US Department of Justice has gone to court seeking the forfeiture and recovery of approximately $144 million of Nigerian assets allegedly laundered in and through the United States. The department filed a complaint alleging that Nigerian businessmen, Kolawole Akanni Aluko and Olajide Omokore, conspired with others to pay bribes to former Minister for Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke. In return for these improper benefits, Alison-Madueke allegedly used her influence to steer lucrative oil contracts to companies owned by Aluko and Omokore. The complainants alleged that the proceeds of the illicitly awarded contracts were subsequently laundered in and through the US. and used to purchase various assets subject to seizure and forfeiture, including a $50 million condominium located in one of Manhattan’s most expensive buildings – 157 W. 57th Street – and the Galactica Star, an $80 million yacht. “The United States is not a safe haven for the proceeds of corruption,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Blanco said. According to the U.S. government, Aluko, Omokore purchased millions of dollars in real estate in and around London for Alison-Madueke and her family members, then renovated and furnished these homes with millions of dollars in furniture, artwork and other luxury items purchased at two Houston-area furniture stores at Alison-Madueke’s directive. In return, Alison-Madueke allegedly used her influence to direct a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to award Strategic Alliance Agreements (SAAs) to two shell companies created by Aluko and Omokore: Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Ltd. and Atlantic Energy Brass Development Ltd. (the Atlantic Companies). Under the SAAs, the Atlantic Companies were required to finance the exploration and production operations of eight on-shore oil and gas blocks. In return for financing these operations, the companies expected to receive a portion of the oil and gas produced. However, according to the complaint, the Atlantic Companies provided only a fraction of the required financing, or in some instances, failed entirely to provide it. The companies also failed to meet other obligations under the SAAs, including the payment of $120 million entry fee. Yet they were permitted to lift and sell more than $1.5 billion worth of Nigerian crude oil. The US. government contends that the Atlantic Companies used a series of shell companies and intermediaries to launder a portion of the total proceeds of these arrangements into and through the US. http://investorsking.com/us-seeks-forfeiture-100m-laundered-diezani/ 1 Like 1 Share |

The thieving class knows no ethnicity when it comes to looting public treasury but once they're caught and prosecuted for their crimes they play the ethnic card because they know some will defend them without paying for their services.

My grouse with this administration is the inability to jail big time crooks past and present if the country wants to burn because of that let it burn because we are tired of people stealing and yet nothing is being done to serve as deterrent to aspiring thieves. 1 Like |

The U.S. will conclude this case,get these monies forfeited with a no contest judgement because Diezanni and her co crooks will rather not contest than face likelihood of jail term aside losing d funds. Meanwhile,long after d U.S must av finished its case,d ones still in Nigeria with cases in court will continue enjoying their loot,sponsoring dissidents,militants,secessionists and terrorists,protected by d political establishment,govt of d day,while being hailed by d same people their looting impoverished. 3 Likes 1 Share |

My brother, everything in Naija is Rocket Science. Power stability, jailing corrupt politicians, road construction, international passport production and even common Driver's license. The truth is, if you steal from Nigeria, dont run away from Nigeria. Stay within and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. If Ibori had stayed back, he would have been enjoying his looted money and the EFCC would still be struggling with his case in court. All the people that were accused of false asset declaration, how many have been jailed? at worst case, just make sure you steal enough to afford you the services of 100 SAN. Nigeria is just a safe haven for corrupt people. doctokwus: 2 Likes |

EvilMetahuman: But the facts state otherwise bro ...Every single Nigerian was 50 times better under the clumsy Jonathan government than they are now under the highly inept and mentally defective Buhari..Only a brain parading an IQ of below won't see that Buhari is responsible for 80 percent of the economic decline and not some low oil prices or Mr Alukos condo which has been even for closed as I gather. |
