EwuOjota:
Saraki should be arrested asap.

First he stole all the money belonging to SGB depositors.

And then he stole all the money belonging to Kwara state for 8 years.

And then he went ahead to be stealing from Nigeria in Billions by padding the budget for years now.

And still he is not satisfied. Now he wants to just STEAL the whole of Nigeria by becoming the President.

And yet some people here that will only see these kind of properties he has acquired only on in the internet,and will live a life of abject poverty will still be supporting him.

Mofo supporters ya'll useless.

UNEXPLAINED WEALTH ORDERS IN USE: HERE’S AT LEAST 5 CASES THE POLICE SHOULD CONSIDER TODAY!


Written by Transparency International UK on Wednesday, 31 January 2018

Today, Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) come in to force. They are a new investigative power designed to help law enforcement act on corrupt assets. This is something that Transparency International has been advocating for since 2014.

For more on what UWOs are and how they work in practice, see our brief guide here.

They are particularly useful where there is no realistic prospect of cooperation or conviction in the country of origin, but there are sufficient grounds for suspicion that an asset has been acquired with the proceeds of corruption. Based on open source information, we have pulled together five cases where we believe law enforcement should consider using UWOs in forming a case for civil recovery proceedings against potentially illicit wealth.



1. KENWOOD GATE, HAMPSTEAD LANE, LONDON
Suspected owner: First family of Azerbaijan
Estimated Value: £18 million

In 2015, the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) uncovered an £18 million mansion on Hampstead Lane, North London, belonging to the First family of Azerbaijan. According to Land Registry documents the mansion is owned by Beckforth Services Limited – an Isle of Man company. Official company documents from 2000 state that Beckforth was controlled by Ilham Aliyev, the country’s current President, and his wife Mehriban, who is his now Vice President. In 2012 the registered shareholder was recorded as Leyla Aliyeva, Ilham and Mehriban’s eldest daughter. Since then it has been recorded as a British Virgin Island company, Sonymore Limited, and then another Isle of Man company, Locki Limited, of which Leyla was the sole shareholder until 2014. Since then Locki’s registered shareholder has also been Sonymore and its current shareholder is itself as a trustee of another company.

At the time the property was bought Ilham Aliyev was Vice President of the country’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and his father was the country’s President. There is no public documentation about Ilham’s wealth or income at the time when the house was purchased. However, the First family of Azerbaijan are alleged by the OCCRP to have collected vast amounts of personal wealth by abusing their positions of power. Ilham Aliyev has been the country’s President since 2003 and currently has an official annual salary of £75,000. Although elected officials are not yet required to publish the details of their assets, latest estimates by the OCCRP claim the Aliyev family hold a global property portfolio worth at least £100 million, including £41 million in London real estate.



2. FLATS 138A AND 138B, 4 WHITEHALL COURT, LONDON
Suspected owner: Igor Shuvalov, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister
Estimated Value: £11.44 million



In 2014 the First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Igor Shuvalov, published an anti-corruption declaration which showed amongst other properties, he rented a flat in London just 10 minutes’ walk from the Houses of Parliament. Contrary to this, however, anti-corruption campaigner Alexey Navalny alleges that Shuvalov owns flats Flat 138A and Flat 138B in 4 Whitehall Court, which in total are worth £11.44 million.

Land registry documents show the properties are owned by Sova Real Estate LLC, which according to official records obtained by Navalny indicate is owned by Shuvalov and his wife. It is unclear how Shuvalov was able to afford the apartments. His 2014 asset declaration lists his official salary as £112,000 meaning it would take him 76 years to pay for these Westminster properties. The value of the flats also exceeds the joint wealth of Shuvalov and his wife, which are listed on his 2014 declaration as £634,000.

When questioned about his ownership of foreign properties, Shuvalov acknowledged that he owned a number of properties through holding companies in a 2014 interview however Navalny claims he has never spoken publicly about the London property.



3. DOWN HOUSE AND FAIRVIEW, CHESTNUT AVENUE, GUILDFORD
Suspected owner: Ahmed Mahmoud Azwai, former Libyan Major General
Price: £1 million




These two properties, worth a combined value of £1 million, are owned by a British Virgin Islands (BVI) company called ATT Universal Holdings Limited. According to a Buzzfeed investigation in 2016, this BVI company is controlled by Ahmed Mahmoud Azwai, a former Major General during Muammar Qaddafi’s regime who was responsible for the country’s long-range missile stockpile.

We understand from available information that the state salary for Major General’s in the Libyan arms is around £4,000 per year. During his time in public service he did not release any declarations stating his personal assets or income.



4. 7 AND 8 WHITTAKER STREET, BELGRAVIA, LONDON
Suspected owner: Bukola Saraki, President Nigerian Senate
Price: £9 million and £6 million

Land Registry documents show that these two addresses are owned by Landfield International Developments Limited and Renocon Property Development Limited. Based on current market estimates by Zoopla, the properties are worth a combined total of around £15 million. According to data released as part of the Panama Papers, these companies were controlled by Toyin Saraki, the wife of the President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki as well as one of his personal aides. At the time of these revelations, none of these offshore holdings were reported in Saraki’s official asset declarations.

Previous public disclosures by Saraki have indicated he has high levels of unexplained wealth. In 2003, his asset declaration showed he had amassed tens of millions of pounds worth of assets during his time as director of Société Générale Bank and Special Assistant to the President on Budget. The explanation he provided for these acquisitions was stated simply as “business”. Saraki is involved in an ongoing court case around allegations of false asset declarations from his tenure as Governor of Kwara state.

When asked by The Guardian about these properties, Saraki stated said he had declared all his assets correctly and in accordance with Nigerian legislation.

5. 16-16A AVENFIELD HOUSE AND 17-17A AVENFIELD HOUSE, PARK LANE, LONDON
Suspected owner: Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister of Pakistan
Price: At least £8 million



Land Registry documents show that these four properties are owned by two companies registered in the BVI: Nescoll Limited and Nielsen Limited. According to information published as part of the Panama Papers, these companies were controlled by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif. In 2017, Pakistani authorities initiated an investigation into these assets, which found that they were purchased without a mortgage between 1993 and 1995, just after Sharif reported a growth in wealth without any plausible declared source of income. *In July 2017, Sharif was removed from office after the investigation found that he had failed to disclose these properties on his official asset declaration.

Capital projects have not stopped, workers are receiving salary as at when due. Naira is stable and economy is picking up at least for the hard working Nigerians..

Saraki will soon go the way of Fayose. That is into political oblivion. Its a matter of time, all that he looted will be recovered.

Almaiga:
After he singlehandedly looted Kwara dry, Saraki is presently looting Nigeria as a Senate president. No wonder APC chased him away.
Watery Bean's awaits him in Prison, he will soon be a guest there.

Hopebringer:
Imagine this gutter thraeg article sponsored by APac goons and their ilk

Saraki gives them sleepless nights

How dare they? APC is full of criminals and thieves and they dear labek Saraki a thief ? I am not a saaraki fan but this is the height of it
A oarrty whose members show us daily they are above the law, tinubu has use the minister of finance Adeosun to approve so many contracts for his private companies , tinubu has stolen with Oando , stolen from Lagos state

Let's even.look at Oshiomole what he stolen from Edo state , these criminals stela and impose a successor so they are not probed

Useless thieves

Infsct the more they attack Saraki has made me.decide to vote for him if he runs

chronique:
Lol. As much as I believe 99.9% of politicians are corrupt, this post is dead on arrival for two reasons. One is the fact that the post lists Saraki as a "suspected owner" which is synonymous with it being a rumour. Secondly, with the rich family history of the Saraki's and his position as a former bank owner/businessman, it doesn't make sense to say he cannot afford it. Before we even go as far as Saraki, can someone help us explain how Tinubu amassed so much wealth in Lagos from 1999-2007 up till date?

AnanseK:


When you chose to leave people like Saraki alone, one Day Garri and Beans will not even be available or affordable to the me and you. Please don’t support tyranny and injustice.
