I heard this from a close friend yesterday that both Jack Warner sons was arrested for money laundering, tax invasion and fraud. The FBI got them.
They got arrested in the US and the bigger son (Daryan ?) is still in jail, the smaller one is out but they seized his passport.
A while now this happended but they trying to keerp things low.
I only heard this, ok guys.
More to come.
-
seems that something like this woulda make some kinda world sports news?
-
Hhmmmm interesting....
Not sure if this is true because by now the news would have made headlines.
Maybe someone in T&T could investigate.
Callin Lasana.

Interesting
-
Apperently this story goin around 4 a while but unable to confirm.
-
It helps solve one puzzle: with them in jail and Jack busy, it helps to narrow Jack Horner's identity.

Coops, that's my first suspect

Jack has three sons.
I assume it's the first two Insider is talking about.

Insider says this has happened "a while now." Hard to believe that if this is true, we don't know.
A guy called Jason Ralph Warner was arrested in Oct. for money laundering but he is more or less white.

I heard thios about 2 weeks ago. Supposed to have happened in Miami and the rumor had it that Daryan was the one arrested. Ruor stated his mother had to travel tot eh US and get a lwter to let him go.
The report said money laundering, but the same report said he was detained with 100,000 US without declaring it to customs as he was leaving.
Daryan Warner called the episode "fiction."
-
You would think he would travel with $40K bundles instead.

Oh where, Oh where
Has Jack.......Hor-ner gone
Oh where, oh where
can he be
with his hummer so long............

As I told you back then... I am very skeptical of the 'report', for a number of reasons.
-
... I figured you would have verified already.
-
... I figured you would have verified already.
Haven't really verified one way or another, incident allegedly took place at Miami International and I don't have any DHS contacts or law enforcement contacts down there to verify, but the situation as described to me then was essentially a failure to declare kinda deal not a violation of MLA laws. Neither of those would be the kind of offense where someone would have to be bailed out, let alone jailed until somebody could fly up from Trinidad to post bond deal... as is being alleged. Sounds indeed like 'fiction'.
-
... see 31 U.S.C. 5332.

Yes, as I said... "a failure to declare".

Nah but on a real though. Who is this beauty? Family?
-
She is not a good fisher-woman. She is not family. Too much family does make wife scarce.
-
Hmmmmm...Either way I fishing in the wrong waters. ;D ;D

Based on the initial story, that talk circulating around locally as well and Senior Warner not taking it well at all.

If those fellas weren't arrested, then the title of the post should be changed, it's misleading.

I was going to post earlier but I felt that it was just macco talk. We still eh sure is Jack son. But like Bakes said, since it happened in TT, forget it ever happened. If it is really Jack's son, he probably getting a real toungue lashing, if that will do anything. But I will tell all PNM affiliated people, do not expect that same treatment by the customs if one of your own is caught in that type of monkey pants.
-
Aye, said Jackarse to he sons and dem while tapping one upside he head, yuh stupid or wat, don't do wat eye do but do wat eye say, go asss yuh mudda if yuh dunno wat eye talking bout. Yuh stupid ah wat.
-
I feel this is all shit talk. This woulda be all over the press if true. Rumor reach the mirror, originally story ahd him stopped and detained with 100K in Miami and the mother having to fly to get attorney help.
The amn himself said is fiction!
-
The most interesting thing in this whole thread is de ting in TT signature, she look like she well know how to handle pole lol

steups. Yuh too damn nasty. Thing is she cyar fish one little bit...she holding de pole like is a tommy gun lol

A wise man once said....
"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day
Give a man a fishing pole and.....
he'll use it to take soft porn photos and live like a king"

Is she LoLo Jones sister? Why she hi-jacked we thread so. Stupid question.

Ok, I got some confirmation on the situation.
Jack elder son has been arrested in Miami for quite some time now and is still in jail.
I thinks its either for fraud or money laundering.
Is younger son is in T&T free (for now)?.
The info Truetrini posted was probably someone else or another incident ?
This one is different as he got arrested in Miami.

Good stuff. Calling on independent journalists in T&T other than Lasana, they need to get their act together and get this story reported as a big selling expose', get on the phone and go off to Miami if necessary and get the juicy scoops. Jackulito's days are probably numbered as the FBi already on to his case. Horner/ Coops' say something.

All I want to know is when last somebody see Daryan Warner walking d dog, running round d savannah, whining low in a fete?
-
Jack as security minister in charge of the local security intelligence framework. He probably know all who talking about it in the various media houses. Hell he probably know we talking about it here too.
-
Daryan not in any jail. He right they in T&T I was reliably informed.

Well the last activity on Daryan's FB profile page was before Dec. 8, so take that for what you will.

However I know someone who spoke to him and he described the entire episode as fiction...who the f**k really knows???

This morning i was listening to i95FM, jenny x PSA President was asking how come the daily media never printed anything about the high ranking Minister in the Government son who was arrested by the IRS in the USA, and how come the Minister did not go to the USA to his son assistance .

PNM abroad on FB had this to say:
Just as we broke to you first before anyone else Daryan Warner is in fact in jail after having been sought by the New York District Attorney's Office. Daryan was caught in the departure lounge of the Piarco International Airport with US$100,000.00 in cash. Customs in T&T had stopped him and asked him to declare he sought the assistance of a minister who called and directed customs to allow him to leave. US Customs was then informed and they held both boys Daryan and Daryl for money laundering. Daryl has since been released but Daryan remains in jail and they have slapped him with a deal.
It's either he testifies against his father Jack Warner over his Fifa Bribery and Corruption involving Millions of US Dollars in Currency or he goes directly to jail facing 20+ years in prison or its either he says nothing and both he and jack Warner end up in a US Jail. Kamla is being pressured to get rid of Jack Warner by the US Govt but she is in a predicament because he holds serious information against the govt and ministers and can destroy her regime. There's a reason JW didn't go to the CARICOM meeting because the US Attorney General was there. You know Jack and the US AG can never be in the same place.

I don't understand how he could "say nothing," and both he and Jack go go to jail.

However, I was in the same yr. as Daryan. We were no friends and barely spoke to each other but I find myself feeling sorry for him. - 25 yrs.

PNM Abroad need to do better than to post that gossipy bullshit. Very little about this account makes sense.

What I find very strange is that nobody verifying that they have seen Daryan in the last two months.
The story leaked a few weeks ago practically shouted that it was the Warner family and not a peep from them.

Jack said on news last night that neither of his sons is in custody and he dared the media houses to print/broadcast any statements to the contrary.

Allyuh really think if this was true all kinda bacchanal would not have been breaking out in Trinidad ?
Some radio stations woulda be all over this like bara wrapping channa.
Also on a side note why would they carry 100k US to the US for money laundering when they could wash the money easier in TT ?

All I will say on this is, and I eh no fan of PNM Abroad (tooooo sycophantish), but ah feel they wouldn't say something like this if they didn't have some kind of information.
And there is always the old adage, where there is smoke, there is fire......so far ah feel this is the crux of the thing;
Jack's two sons went to the US. One or both of them were at least questioned. At the very least, they got mixed up in some story with the US authorities. Money involved. Then the rumours started.......
Allyuh really think if this was true all kinda bacchanal would not have been breaking out in Trinidad ?

Hoss, all dem media houses fraid Jack. Dey eh want to get uninvited to his next media bash......dais why yuh eh goh hear nutten. But I eh worried all will be revealed in the fullness of time because something happened......
-
Folks, the story that a certain son of a certain high ranking minister is in US jail is slam dunk accurate and verified. With a few clicks you can prove it yourself. Nothing more to say.
Everybody seemingly keeping quiet till more traps are set for those in denial.
This will be news of the decade in T&T when it finally buss open formally.

Kamla doesn't have a "regime". Also independent of any individual liabilities of PP personalities, this administration is on its way out regardless of this situation.

Hmmm...sounds like this gov't will have more than some questions to answer.

Folks, the story that a certain son of a certain high ranking minister is in US jail is slam dunk accurate and verified. With a few clicks you can prove it yourself. Nothing more to say.
Everybody seemingly keeping quiet till more traps are set for those in denial.
This will be news of the decade in T&T when it finally buss open formally.
even given this: :-\
Jack said on news last night that neither of his sons is in custody and he dared the media houses to print/broadcast any statements to the contrary.
would like it to be true, but given d lack of excitement...for want of a better word..........I will reserve my reaction until it concrete and out dey for all d world to see
-
What I find very strange is that nobody verifying that they have seen Daryan in the last two months.
The story leaked a few weeks ago practically shouted that it was the Warner family and not a peep from them.

Jack said on news last night that neither of his sons is in custody and he dared the media houses to print/broadcast any statements to the contrary.
When was the last time we have seen any investigative journalism in Trinidad. Media in TT using Google, no leg work and research what so ever.

Good defense is a good offense. JW tactics always
-
Allyuh know how I feel about Jack. I have no grudges against his sons. They did not screw up TT football. But, they made their beds, they go sleep on it. I am yet to be convinced this is true. I want solid proof. So for now, I will reserve comments.

How does failure to declare equate to money laundering ?
This is the first clue that the story is nonsense.
The second clue is the fact that if this person was held in the US, the maximum time he facing is 5 years (absent aggravating factors)... not no 25 years.
The third clue is the overall mauvai langue tone of the posting
Dreamer say it verifiable with a few clicks so I waiting fuh him to provide verification... or in the least, ah few links to click on. Truth is an absolute defense to defamation, so he eh have nutten to worry about... post the links.
-
How does failure to declare equate to money laundering ?
From what I can gather from the story posted below, they were allegedly stopped at Piarco as they were leaving with the undeclared cash. A few calls were made and they were allowed to continue their journey. However, U.S. customs were alerted and arrested them both when they landed.
I am not sure if carrying a large amount of cash across international borders is classed as money laundering, but I do recall that there are tight laws in the U.S. & U.K. regarding large amounts of cash crossing borders brought about to curtail the movement of receipts from drug trafficking.
But the whole point is that it's just gossip until someone proves otherwise.

Ask Bakes about this story..since last December I PM him and another poster to ask about this same thing.
Bakes pointed out then that the story sounding like shit unless there was more to it than what I asked.

Because in popular understanding some ppl conflate the two ... such that if yuh have an excessive amount of cash, one of the inferences is yuh purpose is to launder. This is why I haven't taken a strict interpretation of the "reports".

Correct is right, the sheer volume of cash entering a country can lead to the inference that whatever the purpose of the money is, the real purpose is to not have a digital trail of the spend.
That kind of money could have easily gone on a credit card to make a purchase if that was the intention. Go figure

The purpose could simply be to not leave a digital trail and not have the funds counted as income for tax purposes. Still illegal, but not the same as money laundering. In this particular case unless the source of the funds is itself illegal (such as from dealing in contraband) then it's not money laundering. This is yet another reason to disbelieve the reports... how would anyone at this point know the source of the funds, such as to say it's illegal proceeds?

Guys you ever notice stories about Jack Warner has very few paper trail but there is always some sort of word of mouth to it.
I heard about this lawyer working in one of the TV stations left Trinbago to handle the situation with young Warner ,i don't know who that lawyer is but people who live in Trinbago should know him.
This story coming out in little pieces, the media is afraid to make any comments about it, but to come out it will.
-
The reality is that journalists need to get some factual evidence either by acquiring documents or testimony from sources intimate with the situation before publishing anything. It would be irresponsible or even libelous to do otherwise.
The only principal available for comment is Senior Warner and when Sampson Nanton asked the question directly he was defiant, denying any claims, even daring the media to publish the story for him to sue. I can even understand the hesitancy in the local media to push this story as everything floating about is pure hearsay.
One care argue that the press isn't doing enough to acertain what the facts really are and bring the truth out to the people.

Whats this about?
Minister’s son under sealed indictment in US
Sunday, March 10, 2013
DENYSE RENNE (T&T Guardian).
Information on a case against the son of a senior government minister in the United States is hard to come by because the circumstances surrounding the case have been cloaked in secrecy, as authorities there are dealing with it through a sealed indictment.
A Sunday Guardian investigation has revealed the minister’s son is under house arrest in the US and is also assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with investigations. Sources say US authorities have already signalled their intention to interview the minister, who they say will assist greatly in their investigations.
Since his son’s detention, local sources say, the minister has not travelled to the US. The investigations, sources say, have so far centred on money-laundering, fraud and tax evasion. The minister’s son was held in December last year when he arrived in the US. A source described it as a highly sensitive case, explaining, “Only the officers dealing with the matter are aware of what is taking place.
“Those involved are sworn to secrecy.” Under a sealed indictment, no information about the case goes public until the prosecution is satisfied that all the parties implicated and evidence to support the allegations are before the courts. The fact that the indictment is sealed means it is not even registered on a judicial database.
It also means the public does not have access to documents or information, even about such basic facts as the identities of the prosecution, judge, defendants, evidence to be led and even the charges. Though no time frame has been given for the lifting of the seal, sources say once this is done, the contents of the case will be made public.
The secrecy cloak, the source explained, is the reason why international, regional and local media outlets have been unable to unearth any information. So far, the case has taken investigators to different international jurisdictions and they have already gathered a dossier of financial statements from various countries.
In applying for the indictment to be sealed, sources say the prosecutors outlined a plethora of reasons, one of which was that several high-ranking people worldwide are implicated and investigations are ongoing. International law enforcement agencies have also discovered numerous shady transactions involving the setting up of overnight companies and offshore banking accounts.
Several calls to the minister’s cell phone and messages left were not returned. Contacted on the matter, the US Embassy said, “As a matter of long-standing policy we do not comment on, confirm or deny law-enforcement matters.” The Department of Justice in the US, in an e-mailed response to a query, wrote: “In addition to our spokesperson looking into your request, I would suggest contacting the FBI Public Affairs Office.”
When the Sunday Guardian contacted that office, we were told it was not the policy of the FBI to comment on cases.
More info
In the US, a grand jury hears the key facts of a case to decide if there is enough evidence for someone to stand trial. If the jurors believe a trial is warranted, they issue an indictment—a formal accusation which serves as a warning to the accused that a trial will be held. Sometimes it is determined that the indictment should be kept secret.
A secret indictment is also known as a sealed indictment or silent indictment. In this case, the documentation surrounding the indictment is kept under seal, and no one involved may discuss the indictment outside of the grand jury hearings, or with anyone else once the hearings are over. Once unsealed, there is a possibility the information/evidence can be used in apprehending a bigger culprit.
When the seal is lifted, the contents of the indictment can be made public.

IDENTIFY YOURSELF
Rowley: Minister whose son is under probe must come forward
By Anna Ramdass (Express).
The government minister whose sons are allegedly under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States must come forward and identify himself or herself.
This is the position of who told the Express, by telephone yesterday, the country must not be left in a state of speculation.
"I think the minister should be identified and the public shouldn't be left to speculate, and at that stage we would determine the nature of the problem," said Rowley.
He said he sees the issue as a family problem and, depending who the minister is, then it could become a matter of national interest.
"It is not fair to be left to speculation against the whole Cabinet... whoever is involved should come forward and identify himself or herself because there is a lot of speculation and rumour, and in the public interest a matter like this should not be left as a speculative manner."
Rowley added that if money laundering issues are involved, this could be a matter of public interest.
He said the People's Partnership Government is one that governs under a cloak of secrecy.
"Unfortunately, it has been the very nature and issue of the Government. This Government has distinguished itself in one particular area, and that is not being truthful and forthright with the public, and they tend to fool the public on matters of public interest and, in fact, they take the public for fools," he said.
"So when matters arise that require explanation or acceptance of truth and so on, you are forced to draw information from the Government like pulling teeth," he continued.
Rowley said he and members of the Roundtable—representatives of the unions and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)—will be speaking at a public meeting tonight in St James, where issues of governance will be addressed.
He added that the joint police-army patrols proposed by the Government pose a threat to the good order of the nation, and much more will be said on this tonight.
"And in all issues, the one common thread is that the Government is not being forthright and truthful with the population and continues to destroy our good order," said Rowley.
And Prakash Ramadhar, political leader of the Congress of the People (COP), said more information was needed concerning the Minister and his family.
"I wait with bated breath for more information on this matter because it is extremely serious and I imagine quite urgent," said Ramadhar.
"Having read the (Sunday Guardian) article, we are waiting on the foreign authorities' decision as to how they go forward and what is disclosed to us.
"I do not want to comment at this point in time, but rest assured once there is material supporting one way or the other this serious allegation, the COP will not remain open to embrace those silent on that matter."
Ramadhar was speaking during a news conference at the COP's head office in Charlieville, Chaguanas, yesterday.
Attorney General Anand Ramlogan was also contacted on the issue, but he declined comment.
National Security Minister Jack Warner also declined comment.

Rowley start hahaha. Poking fire.

Gihhh dem woood Rowley...ah hope he bite into this...warner needs to be out of public life...dutty croook...

My issue is that if a minister's son is involved and the FBI has to interview the Minister are they interviewing the Minister because he or she is involved in money laundering? Are they interviewing the Minister as a favor to the gov't of T&T?
How then can he or she perform the duties entrusted to them by the people of T&T?

Go through the Cabinet (doh restrict yuhself to the referred to "son of a senior government minister" language) ... eliminate those without sons, eliminate minor sons and deceased sons, and those whose sons whose liberty you can account for, or attest to ... publish your findings.
-
To day the media ask the PM Kamlar if any of the ministers in the cabinet sons are locked up or under house arrest in foreign, she said she did not know anything about that .
That lady have a wake up call coming i hope she was advised .

Seems the Minister just confirmed the issue is credible.

Whoever knows anything fraid the FBI and in turn the US government so they not saying a word. They already stated that it's a silent indictment and big heads supposed to be involved so if that is true, the FBI will be very harsh on anybody who screws with their case.

Minister's Son Mum on FBI/IRS Case in the US
Sunday, March 17, 2013
DENYSE RENNE
The 45-year-old son of a senior government minister has refused to comment on the case law enforcement authorities in the United States are building against him. Contacted in Miami on Friday for a comment on the matter, he said, “I have no interest in speaking with you...but have a good day.” He then hung up. Another call to the residence went unanswered.
The circumstances surrounding the case are cloaked in secrecy and sources have said both the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) are dealing with it through a sealed indictment. Such a seal, sources say, can remain intact for years, once investigations are ongoing.
Under a sealed indictment, no information about the case goes public until the prosecution is satisfied all the evidence to support the allegations against the implicated party has been gathered to take before the courts. With the indictment being sealed, public databases—such as the Public Access to Courts Electronic Records (PACER) in the US—will not record or register the case in its judicial database.
PACER is provided by the federal judiciary in keeping with its commitment to providing public access to court information via a centralised service.
The seal also means the public does not have access to documents or information, even about such basic facts as the identities of the prosecution, judge, defendants or evidence to be led and the charges. Sources say investigators are pursuing money laundering, tax evasion and fraud convictions. The minister’s son, sources say, remains under house arrest while the investigators gather their evidence.
Calls to the US Embassy, the United States Department of Justice the FBI all yielded the same response: “We decline to comment.”
No comment from PM
It was only last week that Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, during a tour of police stations, said she was seeking answers about the exclusive Sunday Guardian report about the case against the minister’s son being under a sealed indictment. Persad-Bissessar said then: “I would be very concerned about anybody’s son and indeed if it was one of my ministers.”
She said, however, that she had “no information on any minister’s son who is in any circumstances abroad. I have no such information, advice or knowledge. I have asked.” Further checks by Sunday Guardian as to the entities which Persad-Bissessar questioned went unanswered. Special adviser for public engagements at the Office of the Prime Minister Lisa Ghany when contacted and asked specifically whom Persad-Bissessar spoke to, asked that the questions be e-mailed.
Sunday Guardian complied and e-mailed the questions on Wednesday. Contacted on Friday, Ghany said, “I am not at liberty to comment on those questions.” Ambassador to the United States Dr Neil Parsan also asked that the questions be e-mailed. Sunday Guardian again complied.
In an e-mailed response, Parsan said, “No communication from US authorities has been received by the TT Embassy, Washington DC, and the Consulates in New York and Miami.” He said it was normal procedure that the Embassy in Washington be informed of TT nationals who were arrested and charged in the USA, but this usually occurred when those individuals are to be deported.
“The Embassy is generally in receipt of full documentation re persons detained when deportation proceedings have been initiated. Trinidad and Tobago nationals are encouraged to contact the Embassy or Consulates via telephone or e-mail in like matters.
“No such communication has occurred in this matter,” he said. Asked specifically whether the Prime Minister or any government official had contacted him to make inquiries into the matter, or whether he (Parsan) himself attempted to contact the IRS, FBI, or even the minister’s son after the article appeared, Parsan failed to give a response.
Questions to the PM
Questions posed by Sunday Guardian to the PM:
1) Has the Prime Minister, officially or otherwise, requested information from the US, as it pertains to reports of a minister’s son being held in the US under a secret indictment? If yes, when was such request made?
2) Has the PM been contacted by any US governmental official/agency with regards to a minister’s son being held in the US under a secret indictment?
3) Has the PM attempted to contact either the FBI or IRS on reports that a minister’s son is being held in the US under a secret indictment?
4) Following reports that (names called) have been arrested and are assisting officers with investigations in the US, has the PM made any contact with the men to ascertain their welfare/status?

Allyuh men need to stop buying wholesale what PNM Abroad selling. That Facebook site doing more of a disservice than anything with the amount of shit they does post and speculation that they fomenting. That "bought" cash talk came from some gyul who posted it without substantiation and now you doing the same thing. In the end that very well might turn out to be true, but unless allyuh see some kinda source attributed or something allyuh could check it doesn't help the discussion to just be passing along rumors and innuendos on something as potentially important as this.
My particular issue with what going on with PNM Abroad is that everybody looking at the fact that he allegedly only declare income of US $6,000, yet bought four properties worth over $300,00.00 each. People in Trinidad are largely unfamiliar with the concept of financing home purchases and that only a small amount of cash and good credit is enough to secure a mortgage.
And then the talk about he paid cash for it: aside from the folly of needlessly walking around with a briefcase full of cash... who does that? Who willingly invites IRS and Treasury Department scrutiny by paying greater than $10,000 in cash for anything (not just real estate transactions... any transaction for that amount or greater triggers automatic reporting requirements under AML laws). It would be much simpler to pay with a cashier's check or by wiring the money bank to bank.
All that aside... how would anybody know whether the property was paid for by cash unless they were privy to the transaction? That info is not in the public domain. I've said it before and will say it again... I happy to see Jack brought down as much as the next man, but this feeding frenzy that people does engage in anytime they smell anything resembling blood in the water, it kinda distasteful... especially when it coming from supposedly intelligent and educated people (PNM-A).

Yeah! Exactly. One setta shit talk.
First the customs stopped both the sons, then they let the little one aka Darryl go. But Daryan is under house arrest and was being called upon to testify against his daddy.
Now it is Darryl that is under house arrest for purchasing 4 homes each at 100.000 cash, and has an income of only 6000.00 per month!
Looking at the tax records that PNM A is posting all over the place, none of the homes cost 100k, and only 3 were acquired last year.
I find that normally where there is smoke there is fire, but the allegations and innuendo killing de vibes and so is the SLOPPY so called journalism and lazy man/woman reporting.

I find it interesting that son takes after father in the way questions are answered. Never once did he say he was not under investigation in the USA. He certainly showed he was not tagged and could leave his property, but I'm damned sure most of us faced with a camera crew and "false" accusations would say something like "I can categorically state that I am not, nor have I ever been, under arrest or the subject of investigations"
Of course, if you are innocent, you don't have to prove that your innocent, but isn't it second nature to do so? There's nothing to lose and much to gain.
House arrest is inconvenient, but having your passport confiscated is just as serious. I would imagine, given the diplomatic situation, that if I were the U.S. authorities, I would be happy to give a subject freedom of movement if I had reassurances or a bond from a foreign government, especially if I had froze the subjects bank accounts and confiscated their passport. Just supposing :thinking:

'I'm not underhouse arrest'
Daryan Warner bares his ankles in Miami
(http://media.trinidadexpress.com/images/1363744041226nw4.jpg)
By Mark Bassant CCN Senior Multimedia Investigative Journalist
Story Created: Mar 19, 2013 at 9:59 PM ECT
Story Updated: Mar 19, 2013 at 10:05 PM ECT
Daryan Warner, the eldest son of National Security Minister Jack Warner, has dismissed speculation that he is under house arrest in the United States.
However, he has steadfastly refused to comment on if he is the subject of any investigation by federal authorities there.
Warner, 47, spoke to the Express in an exclusive interview (that ran on TV6 News last night) at his penthouse suite in Miami, Florida, where we tracked him down last Wednesday.
"You want to see an ankle bracelet on, an ankle here and an ankle there. Outside I would show you I not under house arrest, but I not speaking to the media," he said, standing in the doorway to his penthouse suite, acknowledging the rumours swirling around him before the Express could pose the first question.
He raised his long, navy blue track pants above his ankles, as though to demonstrate that his movements were not restricted by a tracking bracelet—the technology frequently used by US authorities to monitor a person's whereabouts.
In the last few months there have been rumours that the son of a government minister was under house arrest in the United States. Those reports prompted the media to ask Minister Warner on February 20 whether either of his sons, Daryan or Darryl Warner, had been detained abroad.
"If you think they are detained, there is a simple way—call them and find out if you have their numbers. But I will not say anything until somebody is bold enough to print something or to say something," an indignant Warner responded.
Seeking answers to a story that continues to churn the rumour mill, the Express took the National Security Minister's offer one step further and flew to Miami last week.
We found the Warner brothers at Unit 3504 of the Skyline condominium at 2101 Brickell Avenue in Miami.
The affluent neighbourhood on the outskirts of downtown Miami is dotted with upscale hotels, financial institutions and towering condominiums.
(http://media.trinidadexpress.com/images/1363744041302nw5.jpg)
Getting inside the Skyline condo is a challenge for visitors, with a guard booth stationed at the top of the driveway.
Visitors can only be admitted after a resident gives clearance to the 24-hour security staff.
The Express posed as prospective buyers to gain access to the luxury building.
On the 35th floor, overlooking the yachts lining the Brickell Bay waterfront, Darryl (who is said to be about 36 years old) answered the door.
He wore a sleeveless vest and a pair of shorts—with no sign of an ankle bracelet.
He told us his elder brother Daryan was at the gym on one of the building's lower floors.
The Express soon returned to the apartment after turning up empty-handed at the gym.
This time it was Daryan who answered the door. The Express started explaining to him what had brought us to his doorstep.
Despite his initial reluctance, he accommodated our questions.
Mark Bassant: You have been staying here and have no problem and you can leave the compound?
Daryan Warner: Absolutely not.
MB: You go and come as you like?
DW: You want to go for coffee?
MB: Sure, we can do that.
DW: Where you park, Mark?
Mark: I am downstairs, valet parking.
DW: Give me a few minutes to change.
Mark: I appreciate that.
DW: I not going to talk about that, but we can go PF Chang's, we could go Tootsie's, Vegas, we could go New York, California, but I not giving any comment to fuel fire.
As though to demonstrate, for a second time, that he was not under house arrest, Daryan proposed meeting in the lobby in 15 minutes.
During that time, the Express visited a vacant one-bedroom unit inside the Skyline building to get a sense of what the Warners' penthouse
spread looked like.
A captivating view of the Brickell Bay beachfront could be seen from the living room and bedroom.
"The only difference with this condo and the Warners' is that their own is a two-bedroom (unit)," a realtor pointed out to the Express.
Documents obtained through the Miami-Dade County Office of the Property Appraiser website show Darryl Warner as the owner of the top floor Skyline condo.
He purchased the property on November 1, 2006 at US$990,000—approximately TT$6.3 million.
It is one of four properties in the state of Florida owned by the younger Warner son.
Within the space of five months—between June and November last year—he purchased three other townhouses at a total cost of US$385,650 or TT$2.4 million.
Outside the most expensive of the four properties was where we resumed our meeting with Daryan Warner.
Dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt and jeans, Daryan strolled toward his metallic navy blue BMW coupe before stopping again, raising his pants legs a second time to show there was no device clamped around his ankles.
He lashed out at accusations reported by the press in Trinidad.
MB: As far as you know, there is no investigation by the FBI into your financial transactions?
DW: I can speak English, Korean and a bit of Spanish and you can ask me the same question any how you want. My response will be the same.
The Express learned that Daryan has a business in Miami called DW Property Holdings LLC, registered to the same address where he resides.
The business deals with the buying and selling of properties.
Daryan would neither confirm nor deny that he was under investigation by any US authority.
MB: There is no truth to any of the allegations brought forward in the last few months?
DW: That is not for me to determine. That is for you to print and for my representation to take any action that is necessary.
He was not as forthright when asked whether he is allowed to leave the US. He bluntly stated that topic was not up for discussion.
In tomorrow's Express: Daryan Warner laments being under scrutiny because he is a politician's son.

Now in fairness I reported here that he already stated the charges were "fiction."
Ok, so that is good info. I don't understand the powers under a silent indictment or whatever it's called. As I said, I was just supposing! But why does he not just deny it, clear his name and move on?
-
if there is a sealed indictment that means that the person being probed usually does not even know they are investigated. Now they may be tipped off but that is not usually the case.

Trinidad people real f00cking chupid sah and that TV6 fella looking like some young punk, he representing a news station.
Ankle braclets is NOT always used, number one.
It have a few...
Look one here, voice curfew is a cheaper alternative to an ankle monitor. In this system, the violator is not required to wear any sort of device on his person. Instead, he simply must have a phone line at the house and workplace at all times. At scheduled times, he will be called by the voice curfew company and will have to report in. Voice-detection technology is used to verify voice authenticity. The criminal is subject to random calling and must respond to these phone calls as well; if not, the voice curfew company will report this to authorities.
Them Warners in some shit and dont want to say it, but de truth will come out, that God they not in T&T then it was a different story.
-
Then, in January, the IRS found records indicating that younger son Darryl – a Miami resident and, somehow, incredibly, now a US citizen – had been dabbling in the Miami real estate market.
Specifically, he had just paid cash for four condominiums at $100,000 a pop. And since, according to their records, his reported income amounts to around $6000 a month, they were, shall we say, “curious” about where the money was coming from.
A cynic might say that this activity looks a lot like “money laundering” for the sake of Dear Old Dad back in the islands, but we’d hate to be accused of jumping to conclusions.
Reports now claim that Daryan is still in Miami under house arrest and while Darryl is not under any kind of official detention his (US) passport has been seized, making a run to the safety of T&T and Daddy’s loving arms pretty much impossible.
Up until now, reporters attempting to confirm the story have run up against a problem, namely that none of the Warner’s names and/or any charges against them show up on the PACERS system, which the criminally-inclined among you will recognize as the US Department of Justice’s official public database.
Furthermore, inquiries to various law enforcement and judicial agencies are routinely turned away with a polite but firm “we have nothing for you on that”.
Now, word is spreading that the reason is simple: the US government, and cooperating agencies worldwide, have obtained a sealed indictment against Jack Warner.
And the best part? According to T&T TV6 News, “high ranking intelligence officials in the US and Trinidad confirm that both sons are cooperating with authorities in return for a promise of leniency”.
On March 10, the Sunday T&T Guardian reported that:
“…investigation has revealed the minister’s son is under house arrest in the US and is also assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with investigations. Sources say US authorities have already signaled their intention to interview the minister…
Since his son’s detention, local sources say, the minister has not traveled to the US. The investigations, sources say, have so far centred on money-laundering, fraud and tax evasion.”
Jack is, of course, defiant and issued a clear threat to sue the crap out of anyone bold enough to publish the story:
This has led to some odd contortions from local media. For example, THIS REPORT from TV6 News which covers the story but does not mention either son’s name.
My favorite is this one from The Guardian where the reporters says he talked on the phone to “the 45-year-old son of a senior government minister.”
It’s worth noting that the formerly globe-trotting Warner recently declined an invitation to attend a major international conference on Caribbean crime, which was to be attended by among other the Attorney General of the US. He said he had to stay home in order to monitor local crime.
Uh huh.
There’s much more to come as the facts continue to leak out, but for us here I wanted to add a sad, frustrating, infuriating postscript to the story about the purloined soccer complex:
The most recent improvement at the facility – now called “Jack Warner’s Center of Excellence” by the locals – was a full sized artificial turf field, paid for with US$600,000 in FIFA Goal Program funds in 2005 (note that Havelange, who supposedly “gifted” the place to Warner, left office in 1998).

SEALED LIPS
Daryan Warner silent on burning questions in Miami

Story Updated: Mar 21, 2013 at 12:00 AM ECT
Daryan Warner, the eldest son of National Security Minister Jack Warner, has shied away from answering burning questions on rumours that started flying since last November.
The question he has however answered outrightly is whether he is under house arrest in the United States. He has denied it and lifted his pants to show he is not wearing an ankle bracelet that would have tracked his movements.
He is adamant he is in no way restricted from moving around, but is he allowed to leave the US?
Is he the subject of any investigation by US authorities?
He is silent on these questions.
Warner was content to prove to the Express that he was certainly not limited to the confines of the Skyline condo building in Miami, Florida, when we visited him last week.
And so he left in his BMW coupe as he agreed to meet the Express at PF Chang's, a restaurant, ten minutes away.
On arrival, Warner instead opted to visit a neighbouring bar. He calmly sauntered in and ordered a beer.
Leaning against the bar, Warner told the Express if people were so interested in tracking his movements, they could have checked his credit card activity.
There has been an air of secrecy and mystery regarding what transpired—if anything at all—in Trinidad or in the US last year. That is when the rumour mill started churning.
For months, the Express has been attempting to collate solid information with supporting documents to verify rumours that were circulating. But hard, cold, documented facts were hard to come by.
The reports that have floated to the top emanate from high-ranking intelligence sources here in Trinidad and the United States—but so far, the media have no proof.
Talk about financial transactions and other questionable dealings were not up for discussion with Daryan Warner, but he did say he felt the spotlight was unfairly targeted on him because of his father, Jack Warner.
"I am not a politician; for me to open an options trading account in the US, you have to declare, you have to go to compliance because my family member is a politician. What is the deal? You get rejected 90 per cent of the time. If my father wants to serve the country, work with people in Trinidad and Tobago, what does that have to do with me? Why am I accountable to anybody?" he asked.
Yesterday, we contacted Minister Warner who, in a dismissive tone, said: "Mr Bassant, I am not talking to you and I am not talking to anybody at TV6."
Daryan, speaking to the Express in Miami last week, said all the allegations were adversely affecting some of his family members because of his job.
"You went by my ex-wife about a week and a half ago; you're doing your job and I am happy for you, but why should my ex-wife and kids be under duress because my father is a politician?"
Local media reports have speculated about a sealed indictment in the US.
A sealed indictment is usually issued by a judge presiding over felony cases. A judge can order an indictment to be sealed and demand that it be kept secret until a specified time.
Only those responsible for issuing a warrant against a suspect are made aware of an indictment while it is sealed.
The Express spoke to an official inside the records department of the US Federal Court in the Southern District of Florida.
He explained that an indictment may be sealed to avoid tipping off the defendant or if the defendant has a case pending.
Another case scenario that can occur, the official explained, is if the defendant co-operates with the government's prosecution of others who may be defendants in the same case or defendants in cases with other case numbers, then the case may remain sealed because of co-operation.
Sealed indictments are becoming more popular as part of one of the broadest initiatives the US government has undertaken because of US taxpayers' use of offshore accounts to hide taxable income.
Mark Berman, a federal defence attorney in New York, told the Express yesterday there is also the likelihood that the individual's name will appear in court records, but the information on the docket will not be revealed.
"If a defendant is arrested, they get in front of a judge. They get to see the indictment. It stays sealed on the docket but not publicly available, and there will be an indication on the docket, you know the indictment is sealed and then eventually, the government makes a motion to unseal the indictment," he said.
During our time at the court, the Express carried out a name search with respect to the Warners, but nothing appeared.
Berman told the Express in some cases, the entire indictment may be sealed—and not even the judge's name is known.
A trip to the Trinidad and Tobago Consulate in Miami to find out if they had any information about any Trinidadian nationals having their passports seized or being detained for any reason by US authorities within the last three months bore little fruit.
A senior official who later spoke to us said there was protocol in place under the Vienna Convention for US authorities to notify the Consulate when nationals are detained. However, they are not at liberty to discuss such matters with the media or public.
That is the key to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar getting full knowledge of the real story here, according to Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley—through government-to-government relationships.

He hiding something.

Woo hoo! The media made it to Miami ... finally!
-
This bordering on harrassment. I fail to see what national concerns are implicated here. Warner gave the media much more time that I would have.

Umm... Possible money laundering by a government minister using the Treasury and/or TTFF funds with the help of close family member(s). It should damn well be of national concern >:(... Trinis take too much crap!!!

Don't exaggerate (as to the bold). Ah know what yuh saying buh yuh starting to sound like he's yuh client. (I say that with no malice).
If yuh view the situation through his lens, it's appreciable why he extended the media the time he did. Perhaps he would have been better served to use an intermediary ... but he wanted to dispel a certain view (in person) and he eagerly bared his ankles ... seeking to create a shift in perception.
He also had a very decided view of what he wanted to share:
"You went by my ex-wife about a week and a half ago; you're doing your job and I am happy for you, but why should my ex-wife and kids be under duress because my father is a politician?"
To get what he wanted across, he suffered an intrusion he would have preferred not to have happened.
It's "funny" because while he's not a public figure in the US, I think there are some making the case that he's a public figure in Trinidad & Tobago.

This part here is right out of JW's playbook:
DW: That is not for me to determine. That is for you to print and for my representation to take any action that is necessary.

I don't have to bet. I know the address. ;).

You and yuh little vex smiley face need to stop talking shit. You don't know me or know what I know to be assuming that I taking "too much crap". If there is money laundering by "a government minister" then the inquiries should be made to said government minister.

"You went by my ex-wife about a week and a half ago; you're doing your job and I am happy for you, but why should my ex-wife and kids be under duress because my father is a politician?"
To get what he wanted across, he suffered an intrusion he would have preferred not to have happened.
It's "funny" because while he's not a public figure in the US, I think there are some making the case that he's a public figure in Trinidad & Tobago.
Your analysis... unsurprisingly enough, is deficient. The language I used was both precise and particular... this is bordering on harrassment... I didn't say it was absolute harassment. There is no exaggeration, certainly not with regards to the harrying of the ex-wife and kids. He likely "suffered an intrusion" in effort to put to rest the questioning of his extended family and associates, but whatever his mindset I did not need an explanation. I offered my own personal perspective on what I would have done, I did not exhibit confusion or lack of appreciation for his motives. Your explanations are noted, but not necessary.
As for whether some view Daryan/Daryll Warner as a public figure... that is immaterial to the question of the implication of national concern. There is a tenuous link thru his father, which is where the inquiry properly belongs. If there is any wrongdoing on his part he did so in the capacity of a private citizen and as such owes no accounting to the media, in his position I would have been much more dismissive of the questioning, hence my original statement.

Save the pedagogical adventure for someone who needs it.
I bolded "[t]his bordering on harassment", and did so referring to that specific wording recognizing that you had narrowed it artfully. (That you were not referring to absolute harassment was obvious from the context and from the Express' record of events).
A case can be made that "bordering on harassment" constitutes exaggeration. I chose consciously not to develop that line of reasoning ... hence my comments were not comprehensive ... and hence why I stated "ah know what yuh saying". However, a contrary case is also fathomable. Depending on my relationship to the matter, I could posit either contention.
Whether you needed an explanation or not is irrelevant ... and, notably, I didn't provide one. What I did provide was a reflection of my thoughts and perspectives absent any concern with explanation. Who here is bound by your prescriptions, your hubris or your ego? Certainly, I am not. You offered a personal perspective on what you would have done, and I no where challenged the core of that perspective. Indeed, I merely built on it by way of reflection with my perspective.
People thought to be engaged in dubious conduct are subject to media scrutiny everyday ... regardless of "national concern". In any event, note I didn't assert that he was a public figure, I merely commented on what I see as an evolving position being taken by DW vis-a-vis his quest to be treated "privately". I like his posture on this. I don't think it's sustainable, but I like it.
(Incidentally, whether the link to his father is tenuous or not has not been determined).

Slightly off topic but Bassant made the full rounds while in Florida.
In part 3 of his trip he went to look for Calder Hart
Hart declined to appear on camera but in summary he confirmed that if charges are brought against him he will come to Trinidad to answer any such charges.
We still waiting on the AG to bring up charges against him though.

Umm... Possible money laundering by a government minister using the Treasury and/or TTFF funds with the help of close family member(s). It should damn well be of national concern >:(... Trinis take too much crap!!!
You and yuh little vex smiley face need to stop talking shit. You don't know me or know what I know to be assuming that I taking "too much crap". If there is money laundering by "a government minister" then the inquiries should be made to said government minister.
I'm sure you know what is a logical fallacy. "Argumentum ad Hominem - the evasion of the actual topic by directing the attack at your opponent." In other words leave my smiley face and communication method out of this. Why should inquiries only be made to said government minister when there are potential accomplices? A man like you should know better than this.

Exclusive: FBI has cooperating witness for soccer fraud probe: sources
By Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON | Wed Mar 27, 2013 3:07pm EDT
(Reuters) - An FBI probe into alleged corruption in international soccer has recently intensified after investigators persuaded a key party to be a cooperating witness, U.S. law enforcement sources said.
They said that the witness is Daryan Warner, the son of former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner. The sources declined to further discuss the role of Daryan Warner, who could not be reached for comment.
They also would not say who might be charged, if anybody, or when. While the exact scope of the investigation is not clear, among the matters under scrutiny are two previously reported allegations involving Jack Warner, who is currently national security minister in his native Trinidad and Tobago.
The deepening of the probe indicates that a succession of corruption scandals involving FIFA and other international soccer bodies in the past few years may continue to cast a cloud over the sport for some time.
Jack Warner was formerly head of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), as well as previously being one of a number of vice-presidents of FIFA, soccer's global governing body. He has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
Since at least the summer of 2011, the FBI has been examining more than $500,000 in payments made by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) over the past 20 years to an offshore company headed by top U.S. soccer official Chuck Blazer. That was a period during which Jack Warner was also head of the CFU, a position he held from the early 1980s until 2011.
The precise reasons for many of those payments is unclear. In 2011, Blazer said that the payments were meant to be repayments to him by Warner of "a significant amount of money" which Blazer said he loaned to Warner in 2004. Warner told the media in Trinidad that the payments were above board.
The Internal Revenue Service has joined in the investigation, which is looking into potential violations of U.S. tax laws and of U.S. anti-fraud statutes, including laws prohibiting wire fraud and mail fraud, law enforcement sources said.
"It's shaping up like a major case," one U.S. official familiar with the matter said.
In a telephone interview from Trinidad, Francis Joseph, a spokesman for Jack Warner, said that neither Jack nor Daryan Warner would have any comment on the investigation. "Nobody will speak to you about that," Joseph told Reuters.
In 2011, Jack Warner told the Parliament of Trinidad: "I will hold my head high to the very end. I am not guilty of a single iota of wrongdoing."
Daryan Warner was first interviewed by the FBI late last year after flying to the United States, a U.S. official said.
PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE
Jack Warner quit his FIFA and CONCACAF positions in June 2011 in the wake of allegations of bribery in a report by a lawyer commissioned by Blazer, a member of FIFA's executive committee and former general secretary of CONCACAF.
The report alleged that Warner collaborated with another FIFA vice president at the time, Mohamed Bin Hammam of Qatar, to bribe Caribbean soccer officials so that they would back a bid by Bin Hammam to become FIFA's president. Bin Hammam and Warner both have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Bin Hammam's U.S. lawyer, Eugene Gulland, said that while he had heard that U.S. authorities were investigating CONCACAF issues, Bin Hammam had not been contacted about the probe.
When Warner resigned his FIFA position, the organization declared that "the presumption of innocence is maintained" in his case. Spokespeople for the FBI and IRS had no comment on the investigation.
Blazer, who has announced he will not seek re-election as the U.S. member of FIFA's executive committee and will leave the position in May, said in a telephone interview that he had been advised by lawyers not to make any further comment. "I can't say anything at all," Blazer said.
Bin Hamman was banned for life from all FIFA and soccer activities in 2011 for trying to bribe soccer officials in the Caribbean in the run-up to the election. His ban was subsequently overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on the grounds that while it was "more likely than not" that he was the source of cash distributed by Warner "it is a situation of case not proven."
The ban was then reinstated in December last year for a separate matter concerning "conflicts of interest" while he was president of the Asian Football Confederation.
At one point recently, investigators from the FBI and the IRS traveled to the Caribbean and interviewed a witness regarding the alleged cash payoffs for more than two and a half hours, said a person who was in recent contact with the witness.
Andrew Jennings, a British journalist and author of the book "Foul! The Secret World of FIFA: Bribes, Vote Rigging and Ticket Scandals," said he has had several meetings with FBI investigators working on the case and provided the FBI and IRS with what Jennings describes as confidential documents he obtained related to payments from soccer organization funds to offshore bank accounts.
A law enforcement source confirmed that investigators had held discussions with Jennings.
In an email, FIFA's media department said the Swiss-based organization was "unaware" of any FBI investigation related to the Americas and Caribbean.
The New York-based FBI squad which is conducting the soccer investigation is a squad that specializes in "Eurasian Organized Crime." It is unclear why this particular squad is involved in the probe.

What I told the FBI about the FIFA crooks
March 27, 2013 · by Andrew Jennings
THE REVELATION that the FBI is investigating FIFA should bring an end to three decades of institutional corruption, personified in recent times by President Sepp Blatter. I have been talking with Special Agents from the Organised Crime and Racketeering Section of the Department of Justice in Washington and with an FBI Organised Crime squad from New York since they contacted me seeking evidence nearly three years ago.
Law enforcement sources in New York and Washington confirmed today that they are investigating “a major case” involving allegations of corruption at FIFA. The probe is into allegations of fraud and bribery. It began in the North, Central American and Caribbean regional football confederation but the money trail leads back to FIFA’s HQ in Zurich, Switzerland. Unofficial sources have confirmed that Daryan Warner, eldest son of disgraced former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner of Trinidad, has become a co-operating witness with the FBI probe. Warner jnr has been resident in Florida for the last two months and clearly is not free to leave America. It has yet to be divulged what evidence the FBI have on him but it is likely to be substantial and enough to make him break family confidences in return for serving less jail time.
Daryan Warner was always the ‘back office’ money-man organising the laundering and concealment of bribes and profits from every kind of illicit football activity by his father – siphoning off grants, dealing in World Cup tickets and pocketing substantial bribes from countries hoping to host the World Cup. Warner frequently worked in concert with fellow FIFA executive committee member Chuck Blazer from New York.
The FIFA career of Jack Warner began to unravel in May 2011 when he was caught with $1 million in bribes, in envelopes each containing $40,000 in cash, for distributing to Caribbean football associations. The aim was to persuade them to vote for Qatar’s Mohamed Bin Hammam who was contesting the FIFA presidency against incumbent Sepp Blatter. Blazer ‘ratted’ on Warner to FIFA but was himself soon engulfed in documented corruption allegations
Where will the FBI investigation go next? For a start, they are not alone. For 18 months there have been parallel investigations by America’s tax authorities, the Internal Revenue Service. The secret probes range from Port of Spain to Trump Tower to Cayman, Paradise Island to Miami, Zurich to Zug and much further to the Gulf. They have co-operated with police in London and Switzerland.
The industrial-scale thieving of Warner and Blazer is woven into the fabric of FIFA. Repeatedly, the gruesome duo were encouraged to plunder grants and World Cup tickets. In return they delivered votes to keep Blatter in power. Football lovers must dream that the G-Men will find reasons to extend their investigations into Issa Hayatou’s African empire and the rest of FIFA.
As the FBI spreads its net, FIFA officials in Zurich should be seeking advice from their personal lawyers about what to say if the Feds come knocking. If they have handled corrupt payments authorised by Blatter or General Secretary Jerome Valcke, they may find it wise to followDaryan Warner’s example and become collaborating witnesses rather than risk extradition and jail.
Honest FIFA staff could volunteer more names. It would be unfair if only Warner and Blazer were held to account for the looting of FIFA. At any time in recent years up to half the FIFA ExCo were involved in dubious activities. The remainder, well-rewarded by Blatter with big fees, expenses and fistfuls of World Cup tickets, looked the other way, unwilling to hold their colleagues to account.
The FBI is also showing interest in the dubious decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. The Agents have acquired some very specific information – but that topic must be left for the moment. Another group of investigators, working alongside the FBI, is looking at one other big-ticket FIFA decision.
Following the disclosures in 2010 by journalists at Sunday Times Insight and BBC Panorama of corruption at the highest level of FIFA Blatter should have been evicted from power and his personal financial dealings probed. Instead he was allowed to get away with announcing ‘independent’ investigations, controlled by him.
These may now be irrelevant. Former US prosecutor Michael Garcia, selected by Blatter, promises to tell us soon what we already know about the $100 million kickbacks from ISL to ExCo members and Blatter’s involvement. The governance reforms suggested by Swiss professor Mark Pieth, also appointed by Blatter and now mostly ignored, are fizzling out.
The FBI investigations, combined with endless corruption scandals in Brazil, threatens the success of next year’s World Cup. In November 2010 I revealed in a BBC Panorama programme that Ricardo Teixeira, boss of Brazilian football, a member of the FIFA ExCo and former son-in-law of Joao Havelange, had trousered at least $10 million in contract kickbacks at FIFA. Eventually, a year ago, he was forced out of FIFA and Brazilian football.
It gets worse. Teixeira’s successor at the Brazilian federation, José Maria Marin, is implicated in the murder by the military dictatorship in 1975 of a former BBC journalist. In recent days Brazilian media has obtained tapes of Marin discussing dirty deals in football. The new chair of the Congressional Sports and Tourism Committee, former footballer Romario, has called for Marin to be jailed. Brazilians are becoming restless at the FIFA ripoffs, expected to pay the vast bill for staging the World Cup while watching a record $5 billion profit disappear back to Zurich.
Sao Paulo cops, investigating the theft of confidential government information, raided the home of Marco Polo Del Nero, Teixeira’s successor at FIFA’s ExCo, in November. Del Nero, 70, claimed he was checking his 28- year-old model girlfriend Carolina Galan was not being unfaithful.
SINCE CHRISTMAS the bloggers of Trinidad have been shouting to the world that Daryan Warner, son of Jack, had been arrested at Miami airport carrying a bag of cash. Depending who you read, it started at $100,000 and escalated as high as $750,000. Some said that Jack’s other son, Daryl Warner was also detained. In early March the cautious mainstream Trinidad media, despite threats from Jack Warner, began publishing stories about ‘the son of a Cabinet member’ under arrest in Miami, accused of money laundering.
Now they are vindicated. One by-product of the scandal may be to terminate the increasingly absurd administration of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Despite Warner hurriedly quitting FIFA ahead of corruption investigations she appointed him to take charge of the police (yes, really) and the army (Yes!) and has denied for weeks knowing about the arrest of Daryan.
Because Warner spent millions of dollars buying success at the polls for her UNC party Kamla has given him a free hand to persecute opponents and appoint incompetent loyalists to well-paid government jobs. The latest disclosures in corrupt Trinidad politics is that Warner has secretly created his own tax-payer funded squad of Ton Ton Macoutes.
If the Feds decide to extradite Warner they face a tough task. If he surrounds himself with cops and soldiers the squad that took out Bin Laden may be needed.
THE NEXT VICTIM of the FBI investigation may be the Financial Times newspaper. It runs business conferences and has just announced a ‘Business of Football Summit‘ in Rio in June. Top of the bill will be FIFA president Blatter.
It will be embarrassing if Blatter turns up and equally bad if he is detained elsewhere. And it’s an altogether strange affair. In the shadows, available to FT clients, will be lurking a dark arts operative who boasts of hacking bank accounts and phones.
Organising the event for the FT at the Copacabana Palace hotel is Zurich-based company International Football Arena who stage footie conferences where uncritical reporters, club owners and potential sponsors pay to mingle with Blatter. His PR-man Peter Hargitay does the introductions and his son Stevie does meet ‘n’ greet at the front door.
On the FT conference website Stevie is listed as ‘Sponsorship contact.’ On his Twitter account Stevie describes himself as a ‘Cunning Linguist‘ – whatever that means – and movie producer. The latest Hargitay epic, Chicks dig Gay Guys - with added artistic nudity – has been scheduled for release for the last two years. A screening may be part of the Rio entertainment. The movie message is, pretend to be a male homosexual and the ‘chicks’ strip off fast. The FT provides for every need.
Chairing the conference is FT Sports Correspondent Roger Blitz who has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask Keynote speaker Blatter to come clean about the FBI investigation and how $100 million in contract kickbacks from a marketing company was laundered through Liechtenstein to FIFA’s leaders.
On a more personal level, Blitz could inquire, did Blatter’s heart miss a beat on March 3, 1997 when he discovered a one million Swiss Francs bribe to Rio resident and former FIFA president Joao Havelange being laundered through a FIFA account?
Blitz could also invite the shifty Peter Hargitay to reveal to the 200-strong audience the names of the FIFA officials he planned to bribe with the £4 million he asked the English FA to give him to win their bid to host the World Cup. The Swiss-Hungarian conman could also entertain with tales of his seven months banged up in Miami before being cleared of cocaine trafficking.
As the bribes scandal began to take off in 2002, Blatter hired Peter Hargitay to poison the wells of English journalism. Hargitay boasts that he can divert reporters from clients’ problems. He did a great job in London. The sports news reporters universally ignored the ISL scandal.
The IFA conference organisers can be found in a modest Zurich villa in Lavaterstrasse. Under the same roof is one of Hargitay’s many businesses, private detective agency AB Investigations, where he has been billed as a Managing Partner.
ABI promises clients ‘government-level surveillance,’ and ‘special covert operation assignments’ and where needed, ‘physical intervention on behalf of corporate clients.’ A previous Hargitay business at this address promised it could hack bank accounts. Is this the kind of service the FT is offering its customers?
IT’S BEEN A LONG WAIT for the Feds to make their move. A meeting with Special Agents at Birmingham New Street station in November 2011 had to be aborted. Another time tickets were reserved for a big game at Wembley – some of the G-men are serious football fans – but that trip was cancelled. In the years that we communicated I handed over documents proving that FIFA leaders had received kickbacks on contracts and pointed them to sources with firsthand knowledge. We engaged in lengthy phone calls and exchanged maybe 100 emails.
After I told them about confidential information available in Switzerland they contacted Swiss criminal authorities under the Mutual Assistance Treaty. During a conference in Miami in 2010, where I addressed law enforcement officials about FIFA corruption and the evidence that FIFA operated as an Organised Crime Family, I had discussions with a senior IRS counsel. Prior to this widely advertised conference the organisers and I were threatened by FIFA lawyers.
The last time I met face to face with the FBI was in a private office close to their London embassy in the week before the London Olympics. Again, I was able to give them crucial documents.
Later they told me that one of the documents was ‘particularly useful for their purposes.’ This was a list of bribes implicating several leading FIFA officials. They promised that ‘while the judicial process may seem glacial, things are ‘progressing.’
The IOC could face embarrassment. After I revealed in a November 2010 BBC Panorama programme that Havelange had taken bribes at FIFA, the IOC began the process that forced the old crook to resign. But they shied away from the unequivocal evidence that Blatter handled the bribe that shamed Havelange. Will they now crank up a Blatter investigation before the FBI do it for them?
For the last two years, while Blatter has been persuading gullible journalists to publish uplifting stories about his “roadmap for reform,” investigators from Federal agencies in Washington and New York have been assembling evidence of corruption in World Cup voting.
The possibility of a re-run of both the 2018 and 2022 votes cannot be ruled out. If bribery can be proved on one vote, it taints the other. One problem staging a new vote could be that some senior FIFA officials may be reluctant to leave their own countries, fearing they may be named in sealed indictments in New York and be arrested as they transit through airports. This happened during the 1999 Salt Lake scandal at the IOC. When an American government official turned up in Lausanne surrounded by armed US Marshalls some IOC members feared they would be arrested and shipped to the Utah dungeons.
Blatter’s choreographed FIFA Congress in Mauritius at the end of May looks shaky. If the Feds are working in the background, its hard to take this expensive reward to the Blatter faithful seriously. If he is free to attend, Blatter will pretend all is well, the Feds are just a blip. He’s staging it in a location too expensive for most foreign and experienced media. If he’s not free to attend, the consequences are too wonderful to predict at this time.
The English FA will soon appoint a new chairman. Will Greg Dyke be the man to stand up, shout ‘stinking fish’ and demand genuine reform?

Kamla met the FBI boss last month and the US Attorney General at the CARICOM meeting in Haiti.
Leh we not insinuate... was it a casual meeting or did they interview her specifically related to this?
At any rate, there's a chance that Jack might tangentially be implicated in some wire-fraud thing, parsing thru all of this... but it seems that Blazer (and tax evasion) might be the real target of the probe. Before Asylumseeker come saying some kinda assness about me defending Jack/Daryan... I just preaching caution so that people doh get they hopes up. If de mark buss and Jack emerges unscathed/with a slap on the wrist, be ready for that, because it is a distinct possibility.

As for Jennings... steups. Take all that ranting with a grain of salt.
He starting to sound as madcap and conspiratorial as Trinidad's resident football expert, Football Supporter. Must be something about the English cow milk they drink as children.

I would tend to agree with this. De fact that they had enough leverage to engineer a plea deal is wha have me cautious. Jack eh taking nuttin else but something that would allow him to beat dis.

Not a plea deal... 'cooperation' at this point. They may not have enough to engineer a plea as you put it, but might be enough to convince the cooperating witness that he could be facing trial. Some might agree to cooperate rather than undergo the risk, cost and embarrassment of trial... even if they know they could get off in the end.

To me the only method of damage control available to this administration to save creditability is to sever all ties with Warner but he remains as Minister and Chairman of the UNC. I wonder how grassroots UNC supporters really feel about this?

Umm... Possible money laundering by a government minister using the Treasury and/or TTFF funds with the help of close family member(s). It should damn well be of national concern >:(... Trinis take too much crap!!!
You and yuh little vex smiley face need to stop talking shit. You don't know me or know what I know to be assuming that I taking "too much crap". If there is money laundering by "a government minister" then the inquiries should be made to said government minister.
That sounds like the most naive investigation ever.
Only because yuh doh understand what it is yuh reading.
Of course. Good ting you not conductin the investigation.

PM SEEKS CONFIRMATION
By Newsday Staff Thursday, March 28 2013
International news agency Reuters has identified Daryan Warner, son of Minister of National Security and former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner, as a “cooperating witness” in a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into alleged corruption in international football.
The Reuters report said Warner, the National Security Minister, has not been charged with any wrongdoing. However, it said that since 2011, the FBI had been examining US$500,000 (TT$3.2 million) in payments made over a 20-year period by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), of which Warner was once president, to an offshore company headed by US football official Chuck Blazer.
Blazer resigned as general secretary of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Football Association (Concacaf) in December 2011 but remains an executive committee member until May. Warner was previously the head of CFU and Concacaf, as well as FIFA vice-president.
Responding to the Reuters story, “FBI has co-operating witness for soccer fraud probe: sources”, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar last evening said she would not rely on published reports in the media and would seek official confirmation.
In a statement issued by the Office of the Prime Minister at 6.40 pm, Persad-Bissessar said, “I will not rely on published reports in the media, but will again seek to get official corroboration of the information now in the public domain before making any determination or pronouncement.”
The Reuters exclusive report by journalist Mark Hosenball was picked up by other media outlets in the US and locally. It cited unnamed US law enforcement sources as indicating that the probe into the transactions had “intensified” after a “key party” was cooperating as a witness.
The report identified Warner’s eldest son Daryan as the witness, but said sources declined to discuss Daryan’s role. It also said Daryan, who is in Miami, could not be reached for comment but noted a US official had disclosed Daryan was first interviewed by the FBI late last year after flying to the United States.
The report said a law-enforcement source declined to comment on who might be charged, or when this could happen. The report said the scope of the investigation was unclear.
It said the exact reasons for the US$500,000 payments were unclear but it cited statements made in 2011 by Blazer in which he said the money was repayment from Warner for a loan which was given in 2004. It also referred to Warner’s statement to local media that the payments were above board.
Law enforcement officials are quoted as saying that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was part of the investigation, looking at potential violations of US tax laws and anti-fraud laws including laws against wire and mail fraud. An unnamed official is quoted as describing the investigation as “shaping up like a major case.”
Blazer was contacted by the reporter about the investigation and said he was advised by his lawyer not to comment.
Spokesman for the National Security Minister, Francis Joseph was quoted in the report saying that neither Daryan or Warner would comment on the matter.
Warner met yesterday afternoon with Persad-Bissessar but attempts to reach him on his mobile phone were unsuccessful up to press time.
Questioned by reporters on March 12 regarding a report on a minister’s son, Persad-Bissessar said she had “no information, advice or knowledge of any minister’s son in any circumstances abroad.”
Newsday contacted Mark Hosenball by email to seek more details on his report. Hosenball replied, “Unfortunately all I can say is the story speaks for itself. Can’t go beyond this.”
Warner quit FIFA and Concacaf in June 2011 in the wake of bribery allegations stemming from a visit to Port-of-Spain by then FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam to lobby CFU members to vote for him against Sepp Blatter in FIFA presidential elections. It is alleged that Bin Hammam gave Warner packets containing US$40,000 to give to CFU members.
After his resignation, FIFA had declared Warner was presumed innocent, but banned Bin Hammam when FIFA ethics committee concluded its probe of the allegations. The Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned Bin Hammam’s ban saying the case had not been proven, although it found that Bin Hammam was “more likely than not” the source of the cash.
The Opposition had asked the police to investigate whether any TT Customs laws were breached over allegations that sums of money were brought into the country.
However, local police said they were unable to get evidence and the case was closed.
(FIFA reinstated its ban on Bin Hammam last December for a separate matter concerning “conflicts of interest” while he was president of the Asian Football Confederation.)

FBI wary of T&T’s security agencies
Published:
Thursday, March 28, 2013
DENYSE RENNE
Federal investigators in the United States said yesterday they will not be sharing any information on an ongoing probe involving a senior government minister and his son. Sources said both the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) were reluctant to share information with local law enforcement because they do not have confidence in the integrity of the local national security agencies.
The sources pointed out that should the Government of T&T make any request on the status of investigations and the individual(s) involved in the investigation, the US is not obligated to share such information, especially as they deem the investigation, which includes money-laundering, tax evasion and fraud, a “top-priority” matter. The response to any T&T Government request could range from “no comment” to “the matter is under investigation,” sources added.
Should the US make an extradition request for any individuals who may be able to assist them with the case, such a request will fall under the Central Authority, which comes under the Office of the Attorney General. Contacted last week, head of the Central Authority, Netram Kowlessar, said the US had not made any extradition requests for any government minister or any relative of any minister. Asked whether any intelligence agencies had requested information on the minister or his relatives, Kowlessar also said no.
Asked what the response would be if such a request came, he said: “I cannot say, it will depend on the nature. The Central Authority also deals with mutual assistance.”
Last December, Daryan Warner, son of National Security Minister Jack Warner, was taken into custody in the US by the FBI in connection with an investigation the FBI was doing. At the time, sources close to Daryan Warner said he was assisting investigators in a tax matter. As the investigation progressed, the FBI, through a prosecutor, approached a judge and requested that a sealed indictment be placed on the case.
The probe, which has been taking place for the past three years, has seen FBI investigators visit several countries and several US states, including Virginia, Florida, New Jersey and New York.
US sources said yesterday they were not ruling out the possibility of an extradition request to T&T for individuals who might be able to help them with their case, since investigations are ongoing and will take time. With the sealed indictment in place, sources said, this will allow investigators to concentrate on the “other major players” in the investigations.
Also contacted on the matter yesterday was Ambassador to the US Dr Neil Parsan. Asked if he had contacted the FBI or IRS in connection with the reports surfacing yesterday that Daryan Warner had been detained in the US, Parsan said: “Why would I make such inquiries, and what’s the purpose of me asking?” He added that he had not made any attempts to inquire, but in light of the reports surfacing yesterday, he would “make an assessment” to determine his next step.

The US have lots of leverage to exert without resorting to embargos. Remember when they wanted Dudus and the JA government drag their feet, the first thing the US did was start cancelling people visas; and not the visas of the pleebs but businessmen, high society, officials, entertainers etc.
Imagine if the US government declare our money laundering laws slack and add us to a international watch list, what kinda damage could that do to our banking sector and their ability to operate freely internationally? What would adding T&T to the State Dept travel warning list do for tourism?
They doh have to go after the government directly but there are any number of subtle ways to hurt the people around a government (re: the people funding & supporting the government) and have them exert pressure for the US.

KEEP QUIET
Govt MPs advised to tell media ‘no comment’ on FBI probe on Warner
By Anna Ramdass
Members of the People’s Partnership Government have been asked to keep mum on media reports linking National Security Minister Jack Warner to a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe.
The Express understands that Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who is also head of the National Security Council, has advised Government members that she was on top of the issue and was seeking official information on the matter.
Sources told the Express that an e-mail was issued yesterday by Leader of Government Business Dr Roodal Moonilal to all Government Parliamentarians which noted the Reuters report concerning the FBI probe and asked that no comment be given with respect to this issue as the Prime Minister had already released a statement.
Several calls to Moonilal’s cellphone went unanswered last night.
Persad-Bissessar did not chair yesterday’s Cabinet meeting.
A release from the Office of the Prime Minister stated that the Prime Minister had the common cold and her doctors have recommended bed rest.
Reuters, a reputable international news agency, in an exclusive report on Wednesday stated that the FBI was investigating alleged corruption in FIFA and named Warner’s son—Daryan Warner—as a cooperating witness.
The report noted that Warner was formerly head of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf), as well as Vice President of FIFA.
The report stated that since 2011, the FBI has been examining more than US$500,000 in payments made by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) over the past 20 years to an offshore company headed by top US football official, Chuck Blazer.
The report noted that Warner during that period was also head of the CFU, a position he held from the early 1980s until 2011.
The Reuters report was based on information provided by US law enforcement sources.
On the heels of the Reuters report, the Prime Minister issued a release which stated, “I will not rely on published reports in the media, but will again seek to get official corroboration of the information now in the public domain before making any determination or pronouncement.”
A senior Government official told the Express yesterday that the Reuters report was based on unnamed law enforcement sources and therefore it would be inappropriate for any Government member to speak on the issue without facts.
Another source said that the issue was “nothing new” as allegations were levelled against Warner before and to date no charges have been laid against him or any member of his family.
The Express understands further that the majority of Warner’s colleagues were rallying behind him and have lent their support.
However, members of the Congress of the People (COP) had previously made their position on Warner clear—that he should not sit in the Cabinet until the allegations against him were cleared.
The Express was told that the issue was not officially discussed at yesterday’s Cabinet meeting but there were informal talks about it.

forninstance road construction, when i lived in trinidad there was a lot of road work going on, the main contractors being mutilal moonan, amar and wimpey, wimpey was moreso building drainage systems and road ramps, while the other two was actually building roads.
wimpey hired anyone who was qualified (all ethnic groups) while moonan and amar had a 100% indian staff, couple of times i went seeking employment with both amar and moonan and was quickly put in my place that this was an indian only employment opportunity employer (even though they didn't say it to my face), and what's funny is that they were under govt contract.
so doh matter who else is qualified for this job, the ppl who runnin this job is indians, and when come time to hire or replace an engineer, bet yuh bottom dollar that it will be an indian coming in to replace another one, bc these jobs don't advertize in the papers, just like union jobs don't advertize in the papers, and only ppl on the inside would know that these jobs are available , and guess who would be applying for it, yes ah frien or a relative of one of these workers, nepotism in yuh coddasmont!!
lemme ask yuh this, yuh think anyone ah dem young indian boy found out about this job in the gaurdian?? yuh think they went through the rigors of applying for this job? i would bet anything that they were recommended by a relative or the friend of a relative.
there's no such thing as equality in this world, that's just ah civil word that ppl love to use to look good but seldom practice it.
wake up my yute and smell the juan valdez.

Yesterday was the crucifixion. Today is not, and I will continue and I will do what I have to do. I have nothing to be afraid of and I sleep very soundly at night. If they get rid of Jack Warner today, tomorrow they go after somebody else and somebody else the following day. That is their modus operandi. That is what they want. I will not be in anyway at all assailed by what they are trying do in any way,” Warner said. “Like Mervyn Cordner, like Vernon De Lima, that too shall pass and after that has passed there will be others that they will raise, but I am not fazed, not in the least.
For a moment I thought he was referring to his (JW's) crucifixion (via media reports and current revelations etc.).
Jack is a borse. Sun Tzu eh have nutten on him.

UNCLE SAM SILENT
T&T Govt blanked for info on Warner probe
By Irene Medina Associate Editor
The Government has admitted to not being successful in obtaining information from United States authorities, regarding alleged Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) probes into National Security Minister Jack Warner, through established diplomatic channels.
This was disclosed yesterday as both Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran and Attorney General Anand Ramlogan seek to get clear answers on serious allegations against their cabinet colleague.
And in a statement Prime Minister, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said: “Unfortunately, whilst there has been great diplomatic cooperation, attempts to elicit further information and clarification have thus far not been successful.”
The PM also added that following the news story by Reuters on Wednesday that Daryan Warner, son of the National Security Minister, was a “cooperating witness” with the FBI into alleged corruption in international football, she immediately instructed the Foreign Affairs Minister to pursue the matter though diplomatic channels.
The Reuters article, written by Mark Hosenball and which was transmitted throughout the world, also indicated that the IRS had joined the investigation into possible violations of tax laws and wire and mail fraud, involving US$500,000 in payments by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) over the past 20 years (the same period Warner headed the CFU) to an offshore company headed by US football official Chuck Blazer.
The Prime Minister said she “further directed the Attorney General to write his counterpart, the US Attorney General, Eric Holder Jr, directly to seek his personal intervention in the matter so that there can be official confirmation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged investigation”.
Facing mounting pressure to take action against her Cabinet minister, the PM said, “It would be premature if not prejudicial for me to act without any official clarification or confirmation from the US authorities on this controversial and sensitive matter”.
Persad-Bissessar said she is committed to upholding the high ethical standards which the public legitimately and rightly expects of her Government, but said she was “equally mindful that the commitment to the rule of law requires balance and respect for the presumption of innocence”.
She has promised to make an informed decision in this matter once the facts are established.
The Prime Minister’s statement was issued hours after Ramlogan told the media at Phagwa celebrations at Tunapuna Hindu Primary School yesterday that he had in fact written to US Attorney General Holder and is awaiting a response.
Ramlogan admitted that “the Government has been exhausting all diplomatic channels with the United States Government” and that he had been in contact with the US Ambassador in Port of Spain, and T&T’s Ambassador to the US, Neil Parsan.
“These are very serious allegations that are swirling in the international and local media, but before one can act one must establish officially what the facts are,” he said.
The AG said when a response is forthcoming and when the facts are established, “ I have no doubt the Government will deliberate on the matter and take a position.”
“We appreciate the seriousness of the allegation, we appreciate the implications and ramifications of it, but we equally appreciate the fact that there is a presumption of innocence,” Ramlogan added.
“The media has gotten it wrong in the past, whether local or international, and a matter as serious as this, one must respect the principle of do unto others as you have them do unto you.”
Ramlogan warned it would be improper for the Government and the Prime Minister to act without official verification and confirmation of what the facts are from the government of the United States of America.
“If every time there is an allegation published you act without seeking verification, you’re going to run into serious problems,” he cautioned.
The AG is confident that the Prime Minister will take action in the matter once the facts are ascertained and pointed to her firing of former ministers and diplomats when it became necessary.
“In the past the Prime Minister has established a track record unlike previous prime ministers for acting on the fact and taking swift and serious action when necessary.
“We have the example of Mary King, we have the example of Herbert Volney, we have the example of Therese Baptiste-Cornelis, we have the example of Collin Partap,” he said, adding that no other government has done this.
Ramlogan said the “Government is well aware of the high level of moral and ethica standards it has set for behaviour in public office, but was equally aware that our commitment to the rule of law is one that will not allow us to act on the basis of what is published in the media without seeking official verification of the facts”.

Warner: I am not moving
Warner: I am being crucified
By Reshma Ragoonath
National Security Minister Jack Warner broke his silence yesterday, openly declaring that he had “nothing to be afraid of” as he dismissed calls for him to step down.
Warner, whose son Daryan is said to be assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States in a matter relating to a corruption probe involving Fifa, spoke briefly with reporters during the Central Division first police youth clubs sports and family day at Edinburgh Recreation Grounds, Chaguanas.
The minister initially hesitated when approached by reporters, but later allowed questions.
Warner likened the attacks on him to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ which was marked by Christians on Good Friday.
He said, “I do not think you know of any other politician, who, for the last three years has been maligned and who has been crucified as I have been and the one objective in mind is to get rid of Jack Warner.”
This, as he responded to calls made on Thursday by Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) leader David Abdulah who called for Warner’s removal after media reports surfaced about the FBI/IRS probe.
Yesterday, Warner declared, “I doh have to respond to them. Yesterday was the Crucifixion, today (Saturday) is not, and I will continue and I will do what I have to do. I have nothing to be afraid of and I sleep very soundly at night.”
The minister said that he believed the attacks against him would not stop.
However, he said confidently, “I will not be in anyway at all assailed by what they are trying do in any way. Like Mervyn Cordner (who alleged the Flying Squad was revamped), like Vernon De Lima, that too shall pass and after that has passed there will be others that they will raise but I am not fazed, not in the least because I say again—that too shall pass away.”
He said there were those who believe that if they got rid of him “then you get rid of a major chunk or chink in the Government’s armour—I say, well fine.”
However, the minister hastened to add that if they got rid of him today, “tomorrow they go after somebody else, and somebody else the following day. That is their modus operandi. That is what they want.”
Yesterday’s sports and family day, which was also attended by acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams and co-ordinated by Senior Supt Johnny Abraham, featured an entertaining march past from youth clubs in the Central Division including Caparo/Palmiste, Couva, Cunupia, Edinburgh 500, Brasso/Flanagin, Tabaquite, Caroni and Las Lomas.
Warner said he was pleased with the response by young people who have joined the police youth clubs. He said the clubs formed part of his ministry’s plan to reduce crime.
The minister, like Senior Supt Abraham, lamented the fact that girls were outnumbering boys at the clubs.
However, he said it was a national problem which needed to be investigated.
“Even in the schools, the classrooms, the exams, you see the girls outnumbering the boys and in the schools there are more female teachers than male. So it is not only a problem affecting the police youth clubs, it is a whole national problem which we have to treat and find the cause for and deal with. So it has to be done on a collective basis,” he said.

I could only shake my head sometimes at how some ppl like to make excuses for black racists in the PNM. LIke being black and bigoted less bad than being Indian/White and bigoted.
Having said that, I make no excused for the PP. They set theyself up good.

If the PNM was as racist as you claim then mutilal moonan, amar, and all them farmers in central would not have prospered as they did under the PNM, bc believe it or not VB, the PNM did not one fack for niggers, especially niggers who are the staunches of PNMites, yes it have racist PNMites, but the government it self never deny no ethnicity opportunity during the PNM era!!!!!
all the economic progress indians made was not under the crown government, NAR or UNC govt, but rather the PNM!! this BS view that you have of PNM being racist is all in your mind and the minds of those indians who heard their grand parents spilling their racist guts,
bc in T&T as it stands indians are the most progressive race and owns 2/3 of the countries wealth, not only that but there's no race that is more klanish and isolated like the rural hindu indians, so stop crying foul bc allyuh have it cork!!! thanx to the mdafkn PNM!!

JC I realize you are rather sensitive when it comes to racism except when it comes from Africans.
The PNM give enough free land to small islanders to ensure a black vote.
I meet enough of them.
I know of East Indians who put up with enough shiT in the civil service.
I talking from the 60s through the 80s.
My grandfather started off as a labourer and finished off his live with over a thousand acres. It was all WORKED for, not one damn thing came from the PNM except some grief because he was an MP with the opposition.
I will give Manning credit, he mitigated a lot fo that shi%.
They have black ppl in TT every bit as dotish and racist as the backward Indians. Yet both races always have some excuse for their ignorance.
As Sam and TT say they have good and bad in all races.
But this shameless rationale of trying to explain away why black ppl are racist - like some of them not ignorant and bigoted just like some Indians and whites.

Look who talking bout sensitive!! VB you full ah shit!!
i does bun every ethnic group, and no one is safe from my tongue, not even my own dad!! i'm a truth teller, and if yuh doh like tuh hear the truth then doh read sh!t except comic books!
i notice every time i say anything remotely uncomplimentary about indians you does get yuh draws tied in ah knot, but when i bunnin black ppl or white folks you eh have shyte to say, it's almost like yuhs the minister of indian affairs, "say what yuh want bout anyone else but doh say shyte about indians".
it used to be that the member called "trinidadian" and "potatoroti" held the post for ah while, but it looks like you beat them out tuh take the reins. always bawlin when i say something.
look two weeks ago i made a thread with tommy sootmayor doggin black woman to no ends, and i happened to agree with him, yeh i'm black and all the females in my family black including my mother and daughter, but yet i agree with what was said about them, even post the link for the world to see.
so if i eh give ah fork bout my own flesh and blood where the truth is concern, what makes you think i give ah fork about you!! and how come you didn't come on and show you displeasure?? yeh bc i wasn't talkin bout indian ppl, that's why.
stop being like ah forkin jew where no one could ever say sh!t bout them, the truth is you hindus fackin suck!! your racist culture suck!! and your ppl suck!!! especially in trinidad and guyana!! yeh i fackin said it, and fack you if you don't like it bc it's the unadulterated truth!!
talking bout you grandfather work hard for his thousand acres!! my forep[arent build trinidad literally and it's economy when plantocracy was king before being replaced by industrialization, and eh even get as much as ah fackin sweety for it (dinner mint), they build the whole infrastructure of trinbago, bridges, tunnels, dry rivers, towns in east west north and south, hospitals both in south and north,
fack it the whole infrastructure of T&T, yet when the british brought your forparents here to cut cane, in order to divide the two cultures with the whites being the minority and wanting to hold on to power, they told allyuh that africans were lazy and allyuh swallowed it up and never ask a fackin question "who build all these thing that we behold including the barracks allyuh was staying in"?? yuh think the british build it??!! is we mdfker!!
yet up till today yuh does still hear indians "saying nigger lazy". allyuh bought into every thing the british feed allyuh, that's why there's still animosity and tension between the two communities.
yuh ever wonder why african, carib, arawak, taino and coco spanish does get along so well, but african and indians have this history of tug of war? well i'll tell you why!
it's bc of the stinkin british propaganda putting a wedge between the two ppl, and your hindu whiteman loving culture believing every word! allyuh believe everything whitey tell allyuh bc whitey is allyuh God and allyuh hatred for nigger since back in india due the caste system only intensify it!
remember you not dealin with no duncey head bat, i'm ah well read mdfkr and i know more than you think! you might go on to say that JC hate indian just like potatoroti like to say, no i doh hate no body, i just doh like fackup ppl and i doh like haters!!
and it's funny that i could bun whites, and no whiteman on this board ever called me ah hater, jefferz, Eman, worm, FS, west coast, superoli, NYWB even small mag who's ah biracial yute non ah dem, it even have times where NYWB agreed with me to my astonishment on some issues of inequality.
i also bun black ppl more than any other race here, where majority of the board is black with nuff afrocentrist on the board, man like zulu, super, meh boy shaka who introduce me to the board, ah think he goes by the name fari, and many more, but yuh doh here dem bawlin when i say shit about black ppl,
but as soon as i say boo bout indian or PNM in the same breath, here comes VB talking bout "oh my grand father was a DLP and he know capeldoe and eric was ah dis and ah dat" but eric gave allyuh the most opportunity of any ruler in T&T including the colonial govt, and the sad part is, he eh give we nayger not as mush as ah lot of land but allyuh hate eric so much.
yeh and dat land grab you talking bout that eric give outsiders, it was squatting land, nothing ligit! and there was no deed given, just the OK to live there.
panday on the other hand bring in tons of guyanese and give them citizenship and land with deed, why yuh doh talk bout dat for ah change??
look VB i gone, it doh make no sense me talkin to you bc you would believe what yuh want tuh believe anyway. yuh ah stubborn hard headed boy.

UPDATE 1-Trinidad asks U.S. for information on FBI soccer fraud probe
(Adds further background, details of allegations)
By Linda Hutchinson-Jafar and Mark Hosenball (Reuters)
PORT OF SPAIN/WASHINGTON, April 1 (Reuters (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/1-trinidad-asks-u-information-fbi-soccer-fraud-210701041--sow.html)) - Under pressure from opposition politicians, the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago said she had sought information from U.S. authorities about an FBI investigation into alleged corruption in international soccer possibly involving the Caribbean country's national security minister, a former vice-president of FIFA.
An exclusive Reuters report last week quoted U.S. law enforcement sources as saying Daryan Warner, the son of National Security Minister Jack Warner, has become a "cooperating witness" in the FBI investigation.
The sources have not said who might be charged, if anybody, or when. While the exact scope of the investigation is not clear, among the matters under scrutiny are two previously reported allegations involving Jack Warner, the sources said.
Warner is the former head of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Football (CONCACAF) and previously served as a vice president of FIFA, soccer's global governing body. He has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing.
While declining to comment on any aspect of the investigation, Warner, speaking to local media over the weekend, reiterated his long-standing denials of any wrongdoing and claimed he is being targeted by political opponents.
"I do not think you know of any other politician who for the last three years has been maligned and who has been crucified as I have been," said Warner, who accused his critics of seeking to weaken Trinidad and Tobago's three-year-old coalition government.
"The one objective in mind (is) to get rid of Jack Warner because there are those who believe that if you get rid of Jack Warner then you get rid of a major chunk or chink in the government's armor," Warner, who is head of one of Trinidad's four ruling political parties, said in comments shown on local television.
The investigation, which also involves the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. tax agency, is looking into potential violations of American tax laws and anti-fraud statutes, including laws prohibiting wire fraud and mail fraud, the law enforcement sources said.
After the publication of the Reuters story about the investigation, opposition politicians in Trinidad and Tobago called for Warner, who as national security minister is in charge of Trinidad's military and police forces, either to resign or for Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to dismiss him.
David Abdulah, the head of the Movement for Social Justice party, a former coalition partner of the government, urged the prime minister to remove Warner from office.
"If she does not, she will pay the political price for keeping him in the government," Abdulah said, describing the news reports on Warner as "very embarrassing" for the country.
Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley also called on Warner to address the allegations.
Neither Daryan Warner nor a Trinidadian lawyer representing the Warner family have responded to requests for comment.
U.S. officials did not immediately comment on the Trinidadian government's statements that it is seeking information about the FBI investigation.
DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS
Persad-Bissessar said she has instructed Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran and Attorney General Anand Ramlogan to use diplomatic channels to obtain details about the investigation.
"It would be premature if not prejudicial for me to act without any official clarification or confirmation from the U.S. authorities on this controversial and sensitive matter," said Persad-Bissessar.
The exact scope of the FBI investigation is not clear, U.S. law enforcement sources have said.
However, the FBI has since 2011 been examining more than $500,000 in payments made by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) over the past 20 years to an offshore company headed by U.S. soccer official Chuck Blazer. That was a period when Jack Warner was also head of the CFU, a position he held from the early 1980s until 2011.
The precise reasons for many of those payments is unclear. In 2011, Blazer said that the payments were meant to be repayments to him by Warner of "a significant amount of money" which Blazer said he loaned to Warner in 2004. Warner told the media in Trinidad that the payments were above board.
Blazer declined comment when contacted last week about the Reuters story.
Persad-Bissessar has repeatedly stood by Warner since he quit his FIFA and CONCACAF positions in June 2011 in the wake of allegations of bribery in a report by a lawyer commissioned by Blazer, a member of FIFA's executive committee and former general secretary of CONCACAF.
The report alleged that Warner collaborated with another FIFA vice president at the time, Mohamed Bin Hammam of Qatar, to bribe Caribbean soccer officials so that they would back a bid by Bin Hammam to become FIFA's president. Bin Hammam and Warner both have repeatedly denied the allegations.
Bin Hammam's U.S. lawyer, Eugene Gulland, said last week that while he had heard that U.S. authorities were investigating CONCACAF issues, Bin Hammam had not been contacted about the probe.
When Warner resigned his FIFA position, the organization declared that "the presumption of innocence is maintained" in his case.
FIFA said last week the Swiss-based organization was "unaware" of any FBI investigation related to the Americas and Caribbean. (Editing by Kevin Gray and Claudia Parsons)

Another dimension if you will. Is race as important as blood-type. Is Blood-type not another level of family? and if so one that transcends, race, color, creed, heritage & parentage (to a degree)?
Racism is a herd ting. A quality of those that have never left the Kampung!

Stuueeppsss!!!!!
all this talk about "we is one, and all ah we is trini and what all this race talk for", all yuh sounding like ah bunch ah fackin muppets!! weh allyuh think this iz, sesame street??!!
if what allyuh saying iz true then tell me why this thread escalate sooo far in thy space of no time. if i remember clearly all i did was jest @ elan's statement when he made a comment about the pic with kamla and the indian engineers the quote was, "is this ah family business?" of which i replied, "i was wondering the same thing, it kinda remind me of the fire department here in NYC, it's only ah set of irish and italian very little to no diversity". that was it! that was all i said, and from that simple statement ppl get their feeling hurt and start bawlin bout "if yuh doh like it then go study electrical engineering", then the talk start.
now all i did was throw my corn, then came the detractors, "JC weh scene yuh on boy, wah kind ah talk is dat, cool it nah boy", man want tuh kill me bc i speak the real "i throw meh corn, and if it fall in yuh garden then you is the one with the problem", all i did was call it as it iz.
i did not misrepresent the truth, on the contrary, i told nothing but the sad truth of what took place in T&T and is still taking place.
what i truly believe is that i'm the only one who have the balls to say out loud what ppl say in the confines of their own comfort zones, so fack allyuh, i will keep on telling the truth.
izza african, and i does dog africans more than any other ppl on the planet, and what i do say about africans is the truth for the most part,
collectively we are the most disfunctional bunch of mdfkrs on the planet, but when i do and say these things no indian, white man, syrian or chinese doh ever come to the aid of the africans on the board,
but when i dog indian or whiteman, here comes nigger charlie in his shining armor to defend their honor, but who comes to your aid when i'm talking smack about your sons , nephews, god sons, grandsons etc, saying they eh no fackin good and they should lock up all ah dem and throw away the key??
i would like nothing better than to say, "boy if is one thing, my country real together and united boy", nothing would make me happier!! but that would be ah phat lie!!
ah yardie could probably say it bc the british had nothing to fear in jamaica since he christianized the whole nation so every body there uptil today is the staunchest of christians and jamaicans even the big bad moroons.
but in T&T and guyana he failed in that attempt, and that was possible bc there was ah huge indian population on these two colonies with some black man still walking around practicing islam on the sly, and the last thing the british wanted was for the indian muslims to give/ teach africans the islamic religion, that would spell chaos for the colonials, hence the reason more hindus were imported than any other group, bc hindus don't integrate or propagate their religion to others.
what allyuh fail to realize is that this pulling and tugging is not entirely our fault, as sure as the sun would shine i tellin allyuh that the british caused this riff, if allyuh doh believe meh then just look @ how indians and africans and chinese in jamaica does live like true brothers, i went there and saw it with my own bulbs, it's true, no lie.
who the cap fit let them wear it, if allyuh hate truth so much then eat ah dick.
-
come nah allyuh oh shit....is fuuckin children hear or what :cursing: kill dat on dis thread nah.......fuuck man!

RAMLOGAN WAITS ON US AG'S REPLY
By Andre Bagoo Monday, April 1 2013
ATTORNEY General Anand Ramlogan yesterday said he wrote US Attorney General Eric H Holder last week, “seeking clarification” on issues stemming from a Reuters news report which stated an FBI probe into football corruption had intensified and now reportedly involves Daryan Warner, son of National Security Minister Jack Warner, a former FIFA vice-president.
Daryan Warner is reportedly a “cooperating witness” in the FBI probe.
In an interview with Newsday, Ramlogan confirmed that he complied with a directive issued by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on the matter.
On Saturday, Persad-Bissessar disclosed that she had taken several steps in her official capacity since the report of March 27. Among these steps was to call for efforts to be made through “diplomatic channels”. She also directed Ramlogan to write US Attorney General Eric Holder.
“I further directed the Attorney General, Anand Ramlogan, to write his counterpart, the US Attorney General, Eric Holder Jr, directly to seek his personal intervention in the matter so that there can be official confirmation of the facts and circumstances surrounding this the alleged investigation,” Persad-Bissessar’s statement said.
Asked if he had written Holder or received a response, Ramlogan told Newsday, “A letter was despatched last week seeking clarification. At the moment it is too early to expect a reply. Nothing can be done unless the facts are established. It would not be appropriate to speculate at this point. We are trying to get the facts. I do not know what the scope of any of this could entail. We are simply trying to establish the facts.” The Attorney General did not give the date of the letter.
Asked if the Central Authority Unit of the Ministry of the Attorney General — which handles official requests for cooperation in law enforcement matters across borders — has had any role in the process of seeking clarification, Ramlogan said. “Not as yet. Let us see what my counterpart in the United States says and then we will see what happens.” Ramlogan declined to make the correspondence public. Holder — whose family has roots in Barbados — was last in Trinidad and Tobago in November 2011, when he engaged in talks with several Government officials as well as regional bodies and agencies based in Trinidad.
Ramlogan’s confirmation came as the Government continued to attempt to ascertain the facts relating to the issue.
The Prime Minister’s statement on Saturday was her second statement on the matter.
A few days earlier, on Wednesday, her office had issued a short statement saying: “I will not rely on published reports in the media but will again seek to get official corroboration of the information now in the public domain before making any determination or pronouncement.”
In her statement on Saturday, however, Persad-Bissessar revealed the extent of official action taken by her administration over the issues which have now been linked to the National Security Minister and UNC chairman Warner. The Prime Minister disclosed that on March 27, the day the report was first published by Reuters, she made a request of Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Dookeran.
“I instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs the Honourable Winston Dookeran to pursue the matter via the established diplomatic channels to obtain the relevant facts and seek clarification on the reported allegations,” she said in the statement.
Contacted yesterday, Dookeran said his efforts remained ongoing but declined to specify what steps he took to comply with the Prime Minister’s directive.
“The matter is being dealt with,” the Foreign Affairs Minister said in a brief telephone interview. “I am attending to the matter but I cannot tell you more.” Asked how he was dealing with the matter — whether by way of a diplomatic note or otherwise — Dookeran declined comment. Asked for a time-line on when he would be able to report the results of his efforts, Dookeran said, “I don’t know. I have no idea.”
Diplomatic sources stated that two options open to Dookeran include a diplomatic note seeking clarification, as well as a note requesting an audience with the US Secretary of State John Kerry. Dookeran would not comment on any options available to him. Trinidad and Tobago’s Ambassador to the US Dr Neil Parsan did not respond to e-mail, text and telephone messages.
Dookeran is a founding member of the Congress of the People (COP), the second-largest coalition partner, in terms of seats in the Parliament.
The COP has openly called for Warner to resign, since FIFA bribery allegations against him first emerged in 2011. Persad-Bissessar, who has been ill with the flu, did not respond to messages. Warner did not answer calls. (See Page 5A)

T&T becoming ‘pariah state’
By Ria Taitt
If, as the Trinidad and Tobago Government suggests, the US authorities are snubbing it in its attempt to get information on whether National Security Minister Jack Warner is the subject of an investigation in that country, then it points to the fact that this country has reached an all-time low in its relations with that country.
This is the view of Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley.
“The very fact that the Government could be very glibly reporting to us that they have not been in receipt of any information from the US authorities to clarify for the Prime Minister whether or not a minister of government is the subject of this US investigation, should tell the people of Trinidad and Tobago how far we have fallen in our relations with the US government,” Rowley said at a news conference yesterday.
Rowley said he anticipated more unpleasant actions vis-a-vis the US government.
“I am sure it is clear to the US as it is to us that the Government of Trinidad and Tobago led by the Prime Minister is more concerned about protecting the Minister of National Security than (it is concerned) about the protection of the interest of Trinidad and Tobago,” he said.
“And once the US government comes to that conclusion, they have a variety of ways of dealing with rogue countries that put themselves in pariah status. And what this UNC (United National Congress) Government led by Kamla Persad-Bissessar is doing is moving Trinidad and Tobago into the status of pariah states with the US government, where, as we fail to cooperate with extradition, as we speak untruths both locally and abroad, as we protect persons who have questions to answer, as we elevate them in our national security system, as we promote them to high office in the Cabinet, as we protect them from the media, we may very well find other unpleasant actions coming from the US which would have serious negative effects on the population of Trinidad and Tobago,” Rowley stated.
He said the giving of information on whether someone is the subject of an investigation in no way prejudices the court proceedings of that investigation if it proceeds to the court.
Rowley said the US would not share sensitive data with a country whose national security minister is the subject of an investigation in that country.
He said every time Warner’s name is mentioned in unsavoury matters overseas, it is done in the context of his presence in the Government as National Security Minister. “On that basis alone, he should be removed. The Prime Minister has a duty to protect the good name of the country, protect our best interests,” he said.

Jack has something on Kamla. That's why she protecting him, putting him before the reputation and good standing of the country. If she hopes to have any chance of getting re-elected she has to do something about him, but maybe she can't. Then again maybe she already give up on a successful re-election. In that case, they will try to grab as much as they can before they go, again to the detriment of the nation.
I really tired of these ppl.

Under what circumstances, Prime Minister?
By Winford James
If I were the Prime Minister and I learnt that a son of my National Security Minister had agreed to assist the FBI in investigations about certain FIFA matters, I would not only be concerned, I would be worried. Indeed, extremely worried. So many things had been giving the Government black eyes and body blows. Was this another one? I would find a quiet corner and a peaceful stretch of time and commune with myself.
I would think: "This is a serious development. Whenever the FBI enters the picture, it always is. What are those investigations about? Fraud? Misuse of FIFA funds? Money laundering? Do those investigations involve him? Does Daryan have compromising information on some of his father's financial dealings, and will he tell on his father? Jack resigned from FIFA following allegations of US$40,000 in bribes to Concacaf officials to win their support for the Qatari Bin Hamman's bid for the FIFA presidency. Is the FBI investigating that? And the newspaper reports speak of some repayment of debts to former Concacaf secretary Chuck Blazer. What's that about? The stakes are high here. Jack is chairman of the party, he is a leading financier, and he holds the very sensitive portfolio of National Security. A lot of things are at stake here: the country's interests, its international image, the Government's credibility, the party's political fortunes. I have got to talk to him. And I have to talk to the American authorities as well.''
Now, the Prime Minister has a way of procrastinating and prevaricating on important issues and, while she may have quickly enough asked Jack to explain his son's involvement with the FBI, she certainly took her sweet time seeking information from the American authorities. But she tells us that when she asked Jack he denied any involvement in any funny business, and when she sought clarifying information from the American authorities she was turned down. And so, thinking that newspaper reports are not a sufficient basis for her to take action against someone so important to her government and her party, and being clearly snubbed by the Americans, she has decided to let Jack hang on.
Indeed, Jack pre-empted her by declaring that he was going nowhere and... she took her cue from him.
But she has left many people frustrated. They see a minister who has brought little or no value to the country—in any of his portfolios. They see a man who felt there was no necessary conflict of interests between his vice presidency of FIFA and his ministerial role. They see a minister who prefers the autocratic way of prosecuting his functions and who is entirely lacking in the sensitivity needed for solving problems in a democracy.
They see a blusterer who does not understand the need for intelligent, respectful, and patient dialogue on difficult issues. They see a minister who attracts controversy like a night light attracts moths. And now they see his older son assisting the FBI in the investigation of matters involving financial misconduct in FIFA, an organisation in which he was a vice-president and from which he resigned ignominiously, and him denying being a subject of those investigations.
It is not that they believe he is lying, but that they are wearied by the relentlessness with which he troubles their spirit. If he is lying, sooner or later we will know, and then there will be no escape for him and our procrastinating Prime Minister. Why is the Prime Minister allowing one man to aggrieve our spirit like that?
I would think that this unending burden on our spirit is good enough reason for her to invite President Carmona to revoke his appointment, especially if she also takes into consideration the fact that he has not really added value—not yet anyway—to her government in the area that needs it the most: crime reduction. But if she is not persuaded by this perspective, she should give us a sense of the circumstances under which she would get rid of him.
Under what circumstances, Prime Minister?

I'm sure you can speak in your private capacity. How would talking about this bobol be different from all the other bobol we beat on here already?
The bar for the PNM regaining Gov't is already low. Yet, as on point as the Leader of the Opposition has been in challenging the PM recently ... It still strikes kind of hollow because Warner is formidable in how he has things set.
In other words, regaining Gov't is still not a walk in the park.

Jamal backs Jack
Originally printed at http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/Jamal-backs-Jack-202038401.html
April 8, 2013
Communications Minister Jamal Mohammed said yesterday that he agreed with National Security Minister Jack Warner’s response to the questions put to him by Head of the Express Investigative Desk Camini Marajh. Warner did not respond to the specific questions but instead issued a mass e-mail to all media houses, stating if he chose to answer any of the questions, “wrapped within your own expression of opinions and false judgment what I would be doing is validating character assassination posing as investigative journalism”.
Speaking during an interview on TV6’s Morning Edition, Mohammed said that Government “fully supported” Warner.
“That’s the way it operates and that is the way we have to deal with it sometimes. I certainly agree with the response given by Mr Jack Warner to those issues and we fully support him and we want the people of Trinidad and Tobago to know that this Government is an open Government,” he said.
Mohammed said he had the same incident “but in reverse”. “What we thought was a private discussion ended up being in the full glare of the public,” he said, adding that he did not want to be specific. Mohammed had e-mailed the letter to TV6 Head of News Dominic Kalipersad he claimed he was writing as a citizen and not as the Minister and in which he accused TV6 and Express of having an agenda to embarrass the People’s Partnership Government. The letter was published in the media.
Mohammed said Warner was within his rights to respond as he did. On the Prime Minister’s statement that there were “rogue” elements in the media, Mohammed said: “At what point does that become an attack or source of intimidation. It was just a comment. It is a reality that we are facing in Trinidad and Tobago and the Prime Minister is within her right to make a comment.”
He added that the Prime Minister went to great pains to explain that she had no war with the media and she was speaking about a certain occurrence within the media fraternity. He said the Government was not under attack by rogue elements but it was under attack by certain elements of the media who have another agenda. “We are aware of it...Just be careful,” he said, referring to the report that the Integrity Commission had referred a complaint involving Sports Minister Anil Roberts to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mohammed said the media was hypersensitive. He said Government had excellent relationship with all arms of the media. He said all Government was saying was : “be fair”. “We are not picking a fight with the media...But that perception was being created when the media says it is under attack. And that is not fair,” he said, adding that Government would never use its powers to interfere in the affairs of any media house.
On the Government singling out individual reporters for personal attacks, giving personal details about reporter's private lives, Mohammed said if it was true, he had no problem (with such revelations). He said sometimes he too read in the newspapers front page articles on “the personal lives” of members of the Government”, the shoes the Prime Minister wears and the house that the Attorney General owns”. “What are these things doing in the front page of a newspaper? Of what business is that to the people of Trinidad and Tobago, once the person is not breaking any law and there is nothing wrong with what he is doing, that is his right as a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago,” he said.
Mohammed said he planned to meet with the Trinidad and Tobago Broadcasters and Publishers Association and the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago to talk about things affecting the media and the state.

Well, it's not the most "artful" way of conveying the thought he's trying to convey ... and being ambiguous ... that could happen. Similar language has in the past been used by "some folks" to refer to refer to "other ppl" as "these ppl". So even where no malice is intended, that language will raise an eyebrow.

Jack: I have never been questioned
Originally printed at http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/Jack-I-have-never-been-questioned-202230221.html
By Anna Ramdass anna.ramdass@trinidadexpress.com
April 9, 2013
National Security Minister Jack Warner has said he has never been questioned by any authorities in connection with any investigation into his affairs.
Reuters recently reported that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was investigating alleged corruption in FIFA in which Warner’s son Daryan was a “cooperating witness”.
In the face of this report, Warner, for the first time, has said he has never been questioned by any authorities.
Speaking at the United National Congress’ (UNC) Monday night forum at the Barataria Regional Complex, Warner also said while there have been numerous calls for him to resign, he had the support of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and the People’s Partnership Government.
The Prime Minister, through Attorney General Anand Ramlogan and Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran, has made official requests to the United States government for information pertaining to this alleged probe into Warner.
Said Warner, “They say I must resign because a newspaper said Jack Warner is under investigation. Nobody ever call me, nobody ever investigate me, nobody ever ask me a question.”
As he spoke, members of the audience shouted, “Jack must stay!” and “Jack not going no way!”
Warner told his supporters he was the most targeted Minister in political history.
“No politician in this country has been vilified, abused as I have been and yet I stand tall knowing full well I have the backing, support and confidence of the Prime Minister and the Government,” said Warner.
He said since entering ministerial office, he can be found guilty of no crime.
“Jack Warner left FIFA two years ago and up to now they don’t want FIFA to leave me so everyday is FIFA. FIFA could take care of itself, not one of them could point a finger at me when I was minister of works and transport, not one. Then I was minister of works and infrastructure, not one of them can point a finger at me...they can’t say one single criminal act I did, they can’t say one failure I had as a minister and now I gone with the same energy at crime—National Security,” said Warner.
Warner said his family was under scrutiny but in the past when other ministers’ family members were under question, there were no resignation calls.
“It had an AG whose brother was convicted and charged for murder...did he resign? It had a fella who act as Prime Minister for several times, his wife was charged for shoplifting, they asked him to resign? Tell them fellas to leave me alone!” said Warner.
The Prime Minister said Warner used her wisdom to appoint him to look after this country’s national security because she knew he would deliver—and that was why police stations and fire stations were being constructed nationwide and vessels were being purchased to man the seas.
Warner said his successful actions as National Security Minister were upsetting many—including those who have a problem with the number of drug busts and police exercises taking place.
He said last week there was a “sea block” exercise where every vessel coming into the country was searched while helicopters monitored.
He said the friends of his detractors were now complaining.
Warner said the People’s Partnership Government is 35 months old and during that period there were 36 calls for his resignation- from Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley and Opposition Senator Fitzgerald Hinds.
He added that there were also calls from Fixin T&T, “who ain’t fixin nothing”.

This guy really taking the T&T public for fools yes.
Anyway putting things in perspective, I guess that speech was designed to feed his blind and loyal supporters so we could have expected stuff like that from him when speaking from such a platform.

Ralph Maraj: US does not trust T&T Government
By DENYSE RENNE (Guardian).
No info on FBI/IRS probe...
The failure of the T&T Government to get any official information from the United States pertaining to a Reuters report that Daryan Warner was assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with their investigations can be seen as a lack of trust by the US. Former foreign affairs minister Ralph Maraj, in an interview with Sunday Guardian, said the hesitancy of the US “could be a sign of how the US government sees this present administration.”
Maraj said in his opinion, they (US) had no respect or trust and their unwillingness to respond spoke of the low esteem they held this Government. Warner, 45, is the son of former national security minister Jack Warner and is currently in Florida. The Reuters report, which was written by journalist Mark Hosenball, appeared on the Reuters Web site on March 27. The report said that an FBI probe into alleged corruption practices at Fifa had intensified following the co-operation of a witness.
The witness was identified in the report as being Warner (D). Following the report, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar instructed Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran and Attorney General Anand Ramlogan to contact their US counterparts on the matter. Both men have told the media that the US authorities remained mum on the issue.
Maraj told Sunday Guardian that both T&T and the US have “very strong relations at the bilateral and multi-lateral level,” and the US government has always been ready to co-operate and assist T&T in “most ways, not only just strong diplomatic, but strong economic aspects as well.” The former minister said the current US position and its unwillingness to respond to two “high level ministers” left a lot to be questioned.
Maraj said it should not have taken so long to solicit a response from the US. He said the Section 34 issue only compounded the lack of response from the US to this country’s queries.
Paula Gopee-Scoon responds
Former foreign affairs minister Paula Gopee-Scoon, meanwhile, said the utterances being made that both the AG and Dookeran were seeking information from the US was laughable. She said “a lot of fluff is being placed in the public domain, when they know fully well no information will be relayed to them.”
Gopee-Scoon said the fact that diplomatic channels were utilised by Dookeran and the AG, who wrote to Eric Holder Jr seeking information in the matter and no information was proffered says a lot and “the Government of T&T needs to be concerned.”
Questions to the US Embassy
An e-mail request was sent to the US Embassy seeking answers on the April 17 trip to Washington, where Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar met with US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns. Sunday Guardian asked:
• Whether Burns had any discussion with the PM in relation to tax evasion and money laundering allegations regarding Warner and his son Daryan?
• Whether Burns had any discussion with the PM in relation to tax evasion, money-laundering issues regarding any of her government ministers?
• Whether Burns had any discussion with the PM indicating the US intent to interview Mr Warner on tax evasion, money-laundering allegations?
• Whether Burns had any discussion with the PM indicating the US intent to interview any of her ministers on tax evasion, money-laundering allegations?
The US Embassy responds
“On April 17 Deputy Secretary Burns met with Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar to discuss a wide range of bilateral issues including regional security co-operation, commercial opportunities, and protection of vulnerable populations, reaffirming the long-standing close ties between the United States and the people of Trinidad and Tobago.”

Ralph Maraj: US does not trust T&T Government
By DENYSE RENNE (Guardian).
No info on FBI/IRS probe...
The failure of the T&T Government to get any official information from the United States pertaining to a Reuters report that Daryan Warner was assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with their investigations can be seen as a lack of trust by the US. Former foreign affairs minister Ralph Maraj, in an interview with Sunday Guardian, said the hesitancy of the US “could be a sign of how the US government sees this present administration.”
Maraj said in his opinion, they (US) had no respect or trust and their unwillingness to respond spoke of the low esteem they held this Government.

DARYLL DUCKS IN
Warner’s younger son in surprise visit to T&T
By Asha javeed (Express)
Daryll Warner, one of the sons of Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner, is in Trinidad and Tobago for the rest of the week before he heads to New York, USA, for Labour Day celebrations next Monday.
The younger Warner, who has been the subject of rumours about him and his elder brother Daryan’s inability to travel outside of the United States, spoke to the Express yesterday while at the Twist Bar on Ariapita Avenue in Woodbrook.
He had earlier had a lengthy lunch at Aioli Restaurant in Ellerslie Plaza and was expected to stop by at the Trini Posse stand at the Queen’s Park Oval last night for the cricket match between Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel and Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Limacol Caribbean Premier League semi-final.
Daryll told the Express he was meeting Daryan in New York next week but could not confirm whether his brother will also travel back to Trinidad and Tobago.
“He’s in New York right now. Like me, he can travel anytime he wants but flights are full,” said Daryll, adding that he paid US$862 for his ticket home.
“How come no one wanted to purchase a ticket for me to come home? I would have welcomed that because ticket prices are expensive,” he said in reference to a group who called themselves “Friends of Jack Warner” who had purchased a first-class one way ticket for his elder brother to come back to Trinidad before the Chaguanas West by-election on July 29.
His brother had responded that he would utilise the gift if he received a cheque for double his 2011 earnings which had amounted to close to $6 million.
Daryll, who described himself as a “simpleton”, said his family has been subject of relentless harassment over “allegations” which cost his father his Cabinet position.
Questioned on whether he or his brother were co-operating witnesses in an investigation by US agencies into world soccer governing body, FIFA, he said it was “all allegations”.
“I have heard I was in jail, that I was under house arrest, that I can’t leave Miami or I can’t travel. But I don’t feel compelled to respond to those things,” he said.
When the Express pointed out that his brother did address those issues with the Express, he replied: “My brother has kids and a family so he was compelled to respond. I am a bachelor. I have nothing to hide. I have no problems. I am just enjoying life.”
Asked whether he felt it was the media or the politicians who made an issue of the Warner brothers not being in Trinidad, he quickly replied that it was “politics”.
“What happens here is all gutter politics. It was desperation on the part of the United National Congress (UNC). If they have an issue with Jack, that is their issue. It does not define his children,” he said.
Daryll said he was “elated” that his father had won the Chaguanas West by-election, as “no good deed goes unpunished”.
“The by-election showed that people could pick sense from nonsense. Jack has always tried to help anyone he could. He used his position in FIFA and in politics to help people. I am happy for him. You have to get past the thorns in a rose to get to the rose, you know. Is Jack Warner perfect? No. But his heart is in the right place,” he said.
In February, Warner, who was then national security minister, had challenged anyone who wanted to know his sons’ whereabouts to contact them and had dared the media to publish anything about them. This was at the time of widespread rumours that they had been detained in Miami.
In March, Reuters News Agency published a report by Mark Hosenball which stated that Daryan Warner was a “co-operating witness” in an investigation into allegations of corruption in FIFA.
Jack Warner has consistently maintained his innocence of all allegations.
During the by-election campaign, Warner had appealed to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to leave his family alone after she raised concern about Concacaf’s Integrity Report which had accused Warner of fraud in his management of the organisation.
Those allegations, the Prime Minister had said, had dogged Warner’s political career.
Asked why he has not visited Trinidad and Tobago in the past nine months, Daryll said he intentionally stayed out.
He said he arrived “hassle-free” into Trinidad on Tuesday and hoped that his exit would be the same.

Warner brothers plead guilty - face 20 years in prison
By Richard Charan (Express).
Jack Warner said this morning that he only knew that the US Justice Department was looking to arrest him, by following the international news reports regarding a series of arrests which took place in Switzerland overnight. Acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams also said he knew nothing of an indictment or arrest warrant related to Warner.
In a statement issued on the matter, Warner made no mention of his son, Daryll and Daryan who, almost two years ago, cooperated with US investigators and pleaded guilty to a series of charges.
Details of the charges were unsealed today in a statement issued by the US Department of Justice.
In addition to the nine FIFA officials and five corporate executives indicted for racketeering conspiracy and corruption, the Warner brothers are among six individuals and corporations that have pleaded guilty.
According to the US Justice Department -
. On July 15, 2013, the defendant Daryll Warner, son of defendant Jack Warner and a former FIFA development officer, waived indictment and pleaded guilty to a two-count information charging him with wire fraud and the structuring of financial transactions.
. On Oct. 25, 2013, the defendant Daryan Warner waived indictment and pleaded guilty to a three-count information charging him with wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and the structuring of financial transactions. Daryan Warner forfeited over $1.1 million around the time of his plea and has agreed to pay a second forfeiture money judgment at the time of sentencing.
According to the US Justice Department: "The indicted and convicted individual defendants face maximum terms of incarceration of 20 years for the RICO conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, money laundering and obstruction of justice charges.
In addition, Eugenio Figueredo faces a maximum term of incarceration of 10 years for a charge of naturalization fraud and could have his U.S. citizenship revoked. He also faces a maximum term of incarceration of five years for each tax charge.
Charles Blazer faces a maximum term of incarceration of 10 years for the FBAR charge and five years for the tax evasion charges; and Daryan and Daryll Warner face maximum terms of incarceration of 10 years for structuring financial transactions to evade currency reporting requirements.
Each individual defendant also faces mandatory restitution, forfeiture and a fine. By the terms of their plea agreements, the corporate defendants face fines of $500,000 and one year of probation".

FIFA brothers scrambled to deposit cash hoard at U.S. banks, U.S. court documents show
By Douwe Miedema (Reuters)
Two brothers who pleaded guilty in the FIFA soccer bribery scandal deposited large sums of cash in a frenzied series of visits to U.S. banks, hoping to avoid detection by authorities, U.S. court documents released this week showed.
Daryan and Daryll Warner, sons of former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner, and their associates deposited more than $600,000 in cash at bank branches in New York, Miami and Las Vegas in the second half of 2011, according to a 2012 complaint in U.S. District Court in New York that was unsealed on Wednesday.
In one two-day period, the pair parked $128,313.38 in 23 separate deposits into accounts at Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Wells Fargo through the use of tellers and ATMs.
The complaint against the Warners, who are citizens of Trinidad and Tobago, showed that they made sure none of their deposits exceeded the $10,000 threshold above which banks have to file a report to U.S. authorities.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice charged nine officials at FIFA, the global body governing soccer, and five corporate executives with running a criminal enterprise that involved more than $150 million in bribes.
Daryan Warner, one of a group of four others who had pleaded guilty, became a cooperating witness in the FBI's probe. This was first reported by Reuters in 2013.
Banks will also be looked at in the investigation, authorities said on Wednesday, though it was too early to say whether there had been any wrongdoing.
The U.S. indictment alleged that the defendants relied heavily on the U.S. banking system to avoid detection, in often complex schemes with fake invoices and numbered accounts, at banks across the globe.
In one case, a teller at a JPMorgan Chase branch on New York's Broadway said she had asked somebody for his driver's license when he wanted to deposit 7,500 euros, which at the time translated to an amount just above the reporting threshold.
The person then asked to be handed back 500 euros, which lowered the sum to $9,336.60. Earlier that day, a similar amount had been deposited at JPMorgan in Queens. The following day, another 7,000 euros was deposited at the Broadway branch.
Daryll Warner in his guilty plea admitted that he had deliberately broken up deposits into amounts of less than $10,000 to avoid the reporting requirements.
JPMorgan declined comment. Wells Fargo and Bank of America did not immediately return a request for comment. Citi has said it has cooperated with Justice.

Warner’s sons aided US.
T&T Express.
A son of a former FIFA executive secretly agreed in 2013 to cooperate with United States authorities and admit to participating in a World Cup ticket-reselling scheme, according to a court transcript released on Monday.
The transcript confirmed that Daryan Warner, like his brother Daryll, had agreed to assist US authorities as part of separate plea deals. The transcript, ordered released by a federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, contained Daryan Warner's guilty plea.
Both men are sons of former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner, who was among 14 individuals indicted for engaging in a corruption scheme at FIFA that authorities said involved more than $150 million (£98.6 million in bribes.
The transcript showed that in Daryan Warner's cooperation deal, prosecutors agreed not to charge him with fraud and money laundering in connection with aiding and abetting an alleged bribe payment by the South African Bid Committee connected to its bid to host the 2010 World Cup.
That agreement signalled a potential area of testimony by him should the larger case against the 14 go to trial, as prosecutors allege that Jack Warner solicited payments worth $10 million from the South African government. He denies wrongdoing.
Benjamin Brafman, Daryan Warner's lawyer, declined to comment on Monday.
In unveiling the charges against the 14 last Wednesday, US authorities disclosed that four people and two corporate entities had secretly pleaded guilty but declined to confirm they were cooperating.
Transcripts subsequently released for the two Warner brothers' pleas have since confirmed they are cooperating.
Daryan's cooperation was first reported by Reuters in 2013. A July 2013 plea transcript obtained on Wednesday confirmed that Daryll Warner, a former FIFA development officer, was also cooperating.
Daryan Warner pleaded guilty in October 2013 to wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and the structuring of financial transactions to evade bank reporting requirements.
At the hearing, Daryan Warner admitted that he agreed with others to buy tickets to the 2006 and 2010 World Cups and resell them at a “substantial profit.”
Daryan Warner said he bought the tickets directly from FIFA in 2006, misleading it about the role of an unnamed individual because he “believed that FIFA would not have sold them to me had he been involved.”
Charging documents say that FIFA became aware he resold the tickets and that he believed he would not be able to buy them in 2010.
Nevertheless, Warner said he bought tickets from others to mislead FIFA. Charging documents describe those individuals as two unnamed family members who then were FIFA officials.

Disgraced former FIFA vice president Jack Warner 'fears for his life'
(Associated Press)
MARABELLA, Trinidad -- Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner made a televised address in Trinidad on Wednesday night, saying he will prove a link between soccer's governing body and his nation's elections in 2010.
"I will no longer keep secrets for them who actively seek to destroy the country," Warner said.
Warner also said in the address, which was a paid political advertisement, that "I reasonably actually fear for my life."
Still, a half-hour after the speech aired, Warner appeared at his Independent Liberal Party's rally held under a canopy on a residential street. At least a couple hundred people were present when Warner spoke, many of them having not seen the televised remarks.
Warner said he has documents and checks that link FIFA officials, including embattled President Sepp Blatter, to the 2010 election in Trinidad and Tobago.
"I apologize for not disclosing my knowledge of these events before," Warner said.
At his rally, a half-hour into his remarks, Warner -- mopping sweat from his forehead several times -- told supporters that he will not hold back in his newfound plan to expose scandal.
He said he has compiled reams of documents and is delivering them to his attorneys, for them to disseminate as they see fit.
"Not even death will stop the avalanche that is coming," Warner said as his supporters cheered in celebration. "The die is cast. There can be no turning back. Let the chips fall where they fall."
Warner also said that when he heard Blatter was stepping down, he wrote him to urge his immediate departure from FIFA.
"Blatter knows why he fell. And if anyone else knows, I do," Warner said.

Jack claims Fifa $$$ funded PP.
T&T Guardian Reports.
Embattled former Fifa vice-president and Independent Liberal Party (ILP) leader Jack Warner is now saying that there is a link between Fifa’s millions and the successful People’s Partnership political campaign in 2010.
During an eight-minute address to the nation last night, Warner said he had compiled a series of cheques and supporting documents that corroborate his financial support to the PP's successful general campaign in 2010 and its link to Fifa. These documents have already been put in the hands of his attorneys.
“The link between Fifa, its funding and me, the link between Fifa, its funding and the United National Congress and the People’s Partnership government,” Warner said.
“These documents deal with the Section 34 fiasco, it also deals with my knowledge of the transactions at Fifa, including but not limited to its president Mr Sepp Blatter and lastly other matters involving the nation’s current Prime Minister.”
Warner said because he is now genuinely afraid for his life, he has passed the packet of documents on to several lawyers and the matter is now out of his hands.
“It is beyond even my own reach, retracting them is an impossibility. There can be no turning back,” he said.
He said his lawyers were making contact with local and foreign law enforcement officials based on the material contained in his statements.
“Even if these approaches do not bear fruit, my careful dissemination on the material to certain persons of standing in society means there can be no reversal,” he said, adding that this was a sad turn of events.
Warner apologised for not speaking out on these matters sooner and did not offer an explanation as to why he kept these ‘secrets’ away from the public.
“My judgement was initially that the People’s Partnership, as bad as it was, and still is, was better for this country than any other government, except possibly a government of the ILP,” he said.
“I will no longer keep secrets for them, I will no longer keep secrets for those persons who seek to actively destroy this country's hard-won international image.
“At the age of 72 years old, I have no intention of allowing them of depriving me of my freedom.”
Warner admitted that he had neglected his family for years and now they were experiencing a “turbulent future,” but said he had placed his own future in the hands of his constituents.
“I have told the truth in my statements and before you tonight, and with God’s grace, the people of this country will in due course make a judgement on the basis of what I said to them,” he said and asked for the people to pray for him and his family.

Jack’s sons lie
By Darcel Choy
T&T Newsday
Daryll Warner, son of former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner who pleaded guilty in July 2013, lied to get a mortgage loan to purchase a condominium in Miami, Florida for his brother Daryan, his father and himself, according to court records.
Prosecutors in the US District Court, Eastern District, New York, yesterday unsealed the plea hearing transcripts of Daryll and Daryan.
Daryll, like his brother, waived indictment and pleaded guilty to wire fraud, and structuring funds as to evade bank reporting requirements while Daryan pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and the structuring of financial transaction to evade bank reporting requirements.
According to Daryll’s court transcript released yesterday, Daryll testified that in late 2005, his family determined that he would be the one to purchase the apartment and seek mortgage financing for the apartment.
Daryll said, “In October 2005, I began the process of obtaining a mortgage loan to be secured for the condo. For that purpose, I applied for a loan with Sunbelt Lending Services. In the effort to qualify for the loan I provided the mortgage lender with inaccurate information regarding the location of my employment and the amount of my monthly income among other things. I did so with the knowledge that the information was false and with the intent to qualify for a loan which I knew I might not qualify if I provided accurate information.”
“In furtherance of closing on the condominium on December 26, 2005. I sent an email from Trinidad and Tobago where I was at the time, to my loan officer who was based in Florida. In the email I sought to delay the closing by a few days because I needed additional time to obtain the fund necessary to close on the condominium. I ultimately closed on the condominium several days later.”
US District Judge William Kontz stopped Daryll’s testimony to ask, “You stated sir that you might not qualify had you provided accurate information. Did you think that there was a possibility that you would have qualified had you provided accurate information?” Daryll replied, “No, Your Honour.”
The judge asked, “Did you understand that you would not qualify for the loan if you provided the truth?” Daryll replied, “Yes, Your Honour.”
Told to describe in his own words what he did to commit the crimes charged in count two (structuring funds), Daryll said, “Between July 2011 and December 2011, I engaged in a number of transactions at financial institutions in the Miami, Florida area. During this period I had a general understanding that making a cash deposit of more than US$10,000 into a bank account would trigger a requirement on the part of the bank to issue a report which would include information regarding the source of funds. Based upon this understanding and in connection with some of the transactions I made, during the above six-month period, I took steps intended to avoid this reporting requirement.”
Daryll said in some instances, he “deliberately” broke up deposits into amounts of less than US$10,000 in order to avoid the filing of the requisite report.
“I engaged in such deposits and other transactions intending to avoid the reporting requirements in connection with more than US$100,000 in transactions in the above six month period,” he said.
In Daryan’s transcript, he admitted he was among a group which agreed to buy and resell tickets for the 2006 and 2010 World Cups at a substantial profit. The transcript showed that the court had problems understanding Daryan during his testimony. Kontz at one point told Daryan, “Take your time. Take a drink of water. Slowly and loudly. Channel your inner Lord Vader, not your inner Woody Allen, okay? That’s what I say all the time.”
Daryan told the judge, “it’s the price of a West Indies accent.” Kontz replied, “I understand. And also the price of a Woody Allen accent of being New Yorkers. Take your time. This is very important. Go ahead.”
Daryan said between 2005 and 2011, within the Southern District of Florida, “I agreed with others to purchase tickets to the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup and resell at a substantial profit. In 2006, I purchased the tickets directly from FIFA and I misled FIFA to believe that my partner in reselling the tickets was not involved in the transaction because I believed that FIFA would not have sold them to me had he been involved.
“In 2010, I purchased tickets from others in order to mislead FIFA to believe that I was not receiving tickets, because I believed that FIFA would no longer sell tickets directly to me. In furtherance of this agreement, I sent and received emails across state and international lines. In between 2005 and 2011, within the Southern District of Florida and elsewhere, I agreed with others to complete wire transfers from the United States to and from a place outside of the United States to further the previously-mentioned fraud to resell tickets to the 2007 and 2010 World Cups.”
Addressing the charge of structuring funds, Daryan said, “in between July 2011 and December 2011, in Queens, New York and other places, I deposited cash into domestic banks in amounts less than US$10,000 to avoid the banks filing the requisite reports for cash deposits in excess of US$10,000 I was aware that the banks was obligated to report currency transactions in excess of US$10,000 and I made the deposits in smaller amounts to evade this requirement. I made the deposits and violated the law as part of a pattern of illegal activity.”
Kontz stopped him and asked, “I made the deposits as part of a pattern of illegality. Is that what you said, sir?”
Daryan replied, “Yes, Your Honour.” He continued, “involving more than US$100,000 within the July 2011 to December 2011 period.”
Daryan and Daryll face maximum terms of incarceration of ten years for structuring financial transactions to evade currency reporting requirements. Each individual defendant also faces mandatory restitution, forfeiture and a fine. By the terms of their plea agreements, the corporate defendants face fines of US$500,000 and one year of probation.
