22/11/03 - Dirty money recycling after the laundering or traffic of counterfeit money ? - the Affair of 57 billion FD discovered in the residence of Mr. Yassin in Ottawa would raise some waves in diplomatic circles.

By Chakib Ahmed Nabil.

There is that a few weeks we had revealed on this site the Affair which implicated Mr. Yassin Aoulo, owner from a Restaurant in Ottawa which the name was Arta whereas it acted of "the Red Sea".

The investigation in this file proves that Mr. Yassin would be only one carrier of money bags from Djibouti to Ottawa via London doubled of an intermediary, figurehead and screen man used for discrete transactions in France and in two other countries of Europe for the purchase of apartments of standing and great properties.

The true owners of this plethora real properties - of which we do not have that a very brief seeing - would be Ismaël Omar Guelleh and Kadra Odette Mahamoud Haïd, each one using for its own account the services of Mr. Yassin.

The hugeness of the sum of 57 billion FD seized in its residence following a recent searching carried out by the specialized Canadian "services" has what to raise has a certain skepticism and us surprised first of all ; then and in spite of the hugeness this information was confirmed to us.

From the certainty that such a sum couldn't leave Djibouti without the agreement of which you know.

We know all that Ismaël Omar would have been informed of such transfers of money !.

We pose a certain number of questions which led us to put forth various assumptions.

• The first among is based on the possibility that this 57 billion FD can be counterfeit money made in Djibouti and that Ismaël Omar Guelleh wished "to temporarily put them at the protection " because he takes into consideration the monitoring and international investigation various discrete which are exerted on the spot.

• The second assumption would be that this sum could constitute part of the "Treasury of war "(rather let us say a treasure resulting from the multiple chicaneries and traffics in all kinds) pertaining to this couple which reigns on Djibouti by using despotic system .
  

• The third assumption and which is most improbable is that Ismaël Omar Guelleh could not be implied in this specific Affair and that it is made up on Djibouti without its agreement his network of false money that which it indirectly directs since the Eighties... in particular to District 6 and by interposed people.

At all assumptions if this money were transported from Djibouti in Ottawa is not certainly to paper the walls of the apartment of Mr. Yassin but so that is carried out to make laundering this money probably by the intermediary of the networks of associations - affiliated with the Embassy - whose nebulas corporate names badly mask all the activities as regards traffics in all kinds.

Little after the setting under legal control Mr. Yassin in Ottawa, true great silence of information was imposed - in Ottawa as in Djibouti - on this awkward Affair ; to dare in speaking was like to announce itself to the agents of the SDS which proliferates there.

Officially all went for best and Mr. Yassin prepared to accomplish a voyage to Djibouti in the course of Ramadan.

What we had not revealed it is that after a 24 hours of silence, the carrier and guard of the money bags of Ismaël Omar Guelleh would has tried to release its responsibility while explaining to the investigators from which came this money, which would have given it to him during its various voyages to Djibouti and what it would have had instruction to make.

Its placement under legal control by the local authorities - in spite of the fact that he is holder of more than one diplomatic Djibouti passport ensuring to him immunity at the time of his voyages (what would have posed some problems with the local authorities Canadian) - would seem to have disturbed it at the most point in the days which followed the searching carried out to its residence.

Knowing itself in position very delicate and placed under discrete monitoring by the local authorities, thinking itself delivered to his sad fate because given up by his "Large Guru" - understand by there Ismaël Omar - Mr. Yassin tried to flee.

He left a few days later and in Ottawa precipitation to try to join the USA but was stopped at the border by the services of the FBI (which probably they awaited it and acted on information) which after a long hearing gave it to the Canadian authorities.
It would seem that - for the moment - he is placed again under house arrest.

• Why to choose Canada rather than Switzerland.

Part of this 57 billion FD could have forwarded by Switzerland or recently the Controlling authority of the sector parabancaire discovered that three companies (Allguard AG in Schlieren, Fimanet Finance Management Network AG in Oberaach and Aggadon AG in Zurich) carried on illegally their activities in the field of the deposit of values, the transfer of money and the trade of currencies and they had violated seriously the obligations of diligence instituted by the law on the money bleaching.

Does the system SWIFT (interbank System of exchange) being supervised and watched more and more so much so that one know that the specialized police forces have the means of traceability or at the very least of alarm with regard to the movements of significant sums (in particular of Djibouti towards France via Reunion or Italy (Me Mr.. is not this step who will recognize himself ...) one understands in this case that Ismaël Omar Guelleh wishes to preserve all the confidentiality of it on these transfers by trusting its Director of his private Cabinet and to the carriers of money bags..

How will it be able to justify this situation with respect to the Canadian authorities and what role will be played by the Diplomacy in this Affair ?.

• A regulation for the form or of the Acts to fight against the laundering of money .
  

To apply the garrot to the financing of the terrorists groups as to the traffics in all kinds and their supports., the action of the international authorities must be extremely professional, concentrated, on definite targets and to try hard more to identify, continue and apprehend known criminals - including criminality in white-collar - without proposing sempiternal "the Diplomatically correct one".

To filter million financial transactions or to impose on the banks, to the accountants or to lawyers the heavy responsibility of denounce the "suspect" activities is of a doubtful effectiveness in the fight against all laundering of money.

It reduces the public authorities to the passivity - all the more when they are accessory even organizing as it is the case in Djibouti.

Those thus will be limited to await the denunciations of the managers of the banks - still it would be necessary that they want to do it - accountants, lawyers, instead of actively undertaking to place professionals of the fight against the crime where they will be able to identify, continue and accuse the criminals.

There are always a handle of professionals or States canted which will choose not to write reports on certain "suspect" transfers.

Under the system of Ismaël Omar Guelleh, Djibouti is a State of no right for some and that of all the Rights for others ; of this each one is conscious on the national level like international.

One can say that if this 57 billion FD is not counterfeit money, one measures the extent of the diversions whose guilty Ismaël Omar Guelleh goes whereas the country is in a state of social catastrophe and that the wages - once again - are not versed to the State servants and comparables.

"A Society is strong only when it puts the truth under the great sunlight and if this truth disturbs it is that there is prone to concerns for the crooks... gangsters and friends ...which plunder the finance public and steal the affected international assistances to the Djibouti populations !!! ".
