An investigation involving secret video recordings of lawyers meeting the representative of a supposed corrupt African minister shows how easy it is to launder ill-gotten gains through the United States.
Global Witness yeezy boost 350 pirate black for sale , an independent anti-corruption organization, recorded meetings between the ostensible minister's representative and 13 New York lawyers to discuss how the minister could move money out of his West African country through front companies.
The representative, actually a member of Global Witness, told the lawyers the minister had raised millions of dollars in exchange for mining rights and wanted to bring the money secretly into the United States to buy a private jet, housing and a yacht.
"We deliberately posed as someone designed to raise red flags for money laundering," Global Witness explained on its website Monday.
"We said we needed to get the money into the US without detection."
The result? Only one of the 13 lawyers was not willing to help. The others yeezy boost 350 v2 for sale , Global Witness said, were receptive and suggested to the fake official that he create anonymous front companies in the United States to move his funds.
"Well, you'd set up a Delaware corporation that owns the real estate," said one of the lawyers.
Delaware is one of a number of US states that allow people to set up front and shell companies that hide the identity of the ultimate beneficiary of the company.
"It (Other OTC: ITGL - news) is one of the easiest places in the world to do this legally," Global Witness said.
Some members of Congress and non-governmental organizations are fighting to close this channel which has been used by drug and arms traffickers to launder dirty money.
During the taped meetings, several of the lawyers suggested that the fake minister's money could be passed through bank accounts of their law firms to avoid the suspicions of the authorities.
While none of them actually signed up the minister as a client yeezy boost 350 womens for sale , only one dismissed the overture of the fake representative.
"This ain't for me, my standards are higher," said Jeffrey Herrmann, who also refused to recommend someone else that the minister could work with.
"Those persons would be insulted," he told the representative.
ISTANBULCAIRO, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Turkey is intensifying its diplomatic efforts to mediate the crisis between Qatar and several Arab countries yeezy boost 350 for sale , but experts say the results could be limited due to its one-sided pro-Doha stance.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has just concluded a whirlwind tour of three Gulf nations, including Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as part of Turkey's diplomatic offensive to break the blockade imposed on Qatar by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt.
But experts fear that www.yeezyboostforsale.com , due to its pro-Qatar stance, Turkey's latest diplomatic efforts could yield only limited results in ending the crisis and bringing the situation back to normal.
NO MAJOR OUTCOME FROM CAVUSOGLU'S GULF TOUR
On June 5, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain, as well as several other Muslim nations including Egypt, cut off diplomatic ties with Qatar and closed off sea cheap yeezys for sale , air and land links to the tiny Gulf country, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism, interfering in their internal affairs and cultivating warm ties with Iran, a Saudi rival. Doha has vehemently dismissed the claims as unjustified.
Turkey, a regional power eager to display its clout at a time of feuding with the United States, has been playing an active role in trying to calm the tensions.
Cavusoglu's meetings with leaders of Qatar cheap adidas yeezy boost , Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were largely closed to the press. No major announcement was made during Cavusoglu's three-nation Gulf tour, which demonstrates the difficulties that Turkey faces in its mediation efforts.
Meeting with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani on Wednesday, Cavusoglu reportedly praised the "wise and calm manner" with which Doha has approached the current crisis.
Speaking to reporters in Kuwait on Thursday, Cavusoglu reiterated the hope that the standoff be settled through dialogue with all parties coming together. Calling Saudi Arabia "the big brother of the Gulf region," he said Riyadh is playing an very important role in regional peace and security.
On Friday, the top Turkish diplomat held a meeting with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud in Mecca. No specifics of the meeting were provided to the press by either side.
However yeezy shoes for sale , Saudi Foreign Ministry said Saturday it won't allow Turkey to establish a military base on its land like the latter does in Qatar. This could be interpreted as a snub by Riyadh which is uneasy about Ankara's close ties with Doha.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also launched a diplomatic push Friday to mediate the crisis, by holding a teleconference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and the Qatari emir. They agreed to keep close cooperation and seek to end the crisis through dialogue and negotiations.
TURKEY'S PRO-DOHA STANCE IRKS SAUDI-LED ALLIANCE
Turkey's eagerness to broker an end to the Qatari crisis is believed to be mainly driven by its ideological and economic interests, as it shares many of Doha's political views and has a robust economic relationship with the rich Gulf nation.
Since the Qatari crisis started, Turkey has openly voiced support to Qatar, one of its major trade partners and a main source of investment, while criticizing the Saudi-led blockade on Doha as inhumane.
Two days after the crisis broke out Men's Adidas Ultra Boost Parley Navy Blue White Cheap , the Turkish parliament swiftly ratified a deal to deploy Turkish troops to Qatar that was signed in late 2014, in a sign of showing solid support to Doha. Then a three-member Turkish military delegation went to Qatar to prepare for the establishment of a military base there.
