ARMS AND TRAFFICKING

While investigating the case of the frozen funds of the late Muammar Gaddafi, the editorial board of the French-speaking Belgian radio and television (RTBF) says that Belgium “would have played a role in financing Libyan militias guilty of human trafficking “.

Informed by an anonymous source “near the middle of the secret agents,” RTBF says that “the militias, operating in Libya since Gaddafi’s fall in 2011, had little difficulty in procuring arms.” Adding: “Some countries have openly armed them, but they have also found weapons by other means.” “One or two aircrafts stopped on Ostend airport [Bruges, Belgium] found arms inside,” RTFB confirmed.

following the assassination of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the UN Security Council imposed a freeze on Libyan shares and bonds. In Belgium, Libyan assets were to be frozen in four banks: BNP Paribas Fortis (43 million), ING (376 million), KBC (869 million) and especially Euroclear Bank (12.8 billion). However, according to RTBF, we notice that the interest and dividends were not frozen, and that as early as 2012, between three and five billion euros of interest and dividends had left some Belgian accounts without knowing what happened to this money.

Lawmakers want to know why hundreds of millions flowed from frozen accounts — and who benefited.

Pressure is mounting on Belgium’s government to explain why payments of hundreds of millions of euros flowed to unknown recipients from frozen accounts in Brussels that once belonged to Libyan dictator.

France probes Libya link to Sarkozy campaign. French former president Nicolas Sarkozy is to be investigated over allegations that he accepted cash from former Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi to fund his 2007 election campaign. Judicial sources confirmed on Friday that a formal probe has been opened that could lead to Sarkozy facing a second set of corruption-related charges arising from his campaign.

Sarkozy, 58, was charged last month with taking advantage of a person incapacitated by illness in a case that centres on allegations he accepted envelopes stuffed with cash from France's richest woman, Liliane Bettencourt.

He adamantly denies any wrongdoing and is suing investigative news website Mediapart over the Libya allegations. Mediapart reported last April that Kadhafi's regime had contributed €50 million to Sarkozy's successful 2007 campaign.

Seven years after the popular uprising against Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi and the NATO intervention that removed him from power, Libya is extremely fractured and a source of regional instability. But while Congress has heavily scrutinized the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi a year after Gaddafi’s overthrow and death, there has been no U.S. investigation into the broader question of what led the U.S. and its allies to intervene so disastrously in Libya.

However, a corruption investigation into former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is opening a new window into little-known motivations in the NATO alliance that may have accelerated the rush to oust the Libyan dictator.

CLINTON CONNECTIONS

An email from the 31 December 2015 batch of 3,105 has raised serious questions about the real motives behind the coalition military intervention in Libya.

Not so much about „protecting civilians”, but about oil and „tons of gold”

The email was sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by Sydney Blumenthal on 2 April 2011, two weeks after the beginning of the military intervention. Clinton’s advisor stressed the central role played by the French President Nicholas Sarkozy in the war against Muammar Gaddafi and detailed Sarkozy’s motivations.

Muammar Gaddafi, Blumenthal said in his email to Clinton, hold huge amounts of gold and silver accumulated before the beginning of the Libyan civil war. Gaddafi’s plan was to create a gold-backed African currency to provide an alternative to the CFA franc, the prime Francophone African countries currency which is guaranteed by the French treasury.

“Qaddafi has nearly bottomless financial resources to continue indefinitely, according to the latest report we have received:

On April 2, 2011 sources with access to advisors to Salt al-Islam Qaddafi stated in strictest confidence that while the freezing of Libya’s foreign bank accounts presents Muammar Qaddafi with serious challenges, his ability to equip and maintain his armed forces and intelligence services remains intact. According to sensitive information available to these individuals, Qaddafi’s government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March 2011, these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli. This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA).”

Quoting “knowledgeable individuals”, Blumenthal informed Clinton that the discovery of Gaddafi’s secret plan was one of the main factors leading to the French President decision to attack Libya.

“Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya.”

Based on the information gathered from the same “knowledgeable individuals”, Blumenthal concluded that the French President was interested in Libya’s oil, French political and military influence abroad and his personal political career at home. But most importantly, Sarkozy’s purpose was to stop Gaddafi’s influence in Francophone countries.

Disturbing relationships. On 5 September, Emmanuel Macron's former adviser Alexandre Benalla traveled to London accompanied by a close associate of businessman Alexandre Djouhri, a key figure in the investigation into suspicions of Libyan financing for campaign of the former President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007.

KHASHOGGI CONNECTION

The key to history is today in the small Provencal town of Mougins (Alpes-Maritimes). Alexander Djouhri had acquired in 1998, for 700,000 euros, a villa bought from the daughter of the billionaire and Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, Nabila, whom he had met at Régine, the famous night club in Paris. Ten years later, "Mr. Alexandre" realizes an unexpected capital gain by selling the property more than 10 million euros to the Libyan sovereign fund LAIP, led by his friend Bachir Saleh, while the villa is estimated at than two million euros - five times less expensive.

Djouhri sells Libyans the idea of ​​turning the house into a resort for high foreign personalities passing through the south of France. She will never see the light of day.

Really, she, the financial operation is led by Wahib Nacer via a Panamanian company, Bedux, which Alexander Djouhri appears as the main user, according to the judicial investigation. Bedux collects the proceeds of the sale to the Libyans villa Mougins. And, in March 2010, with this money coming directly from Tripoli, Bedux makes a strange transfer of 600,000 euros to an account of Khaled Bugshan at the National Commercial Bank of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The same one that had been used to send 500,000 euros to Guéant for the purchase of his apartment. The debit account of the Bedux account seized in the Geneva offices of Wahib Nacer supports a particularly verbose annotation: "AD". Like Alexandre Djouhri.

The circle is complete. For the investigators, this payment of 600,000 euros can now be seen as the compensation (with interest) on Libyan funds of 500,000 euros that had enriched Guéant by the double intermediary of Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. So many thick curtains of smoke behind which the same man is agitated: Alexandre Djouhri.

He is the master of the keys.
