... Gertrud asks: "And who is the mastermind of this spider-web?" | |||||||||||||||||||

"Millionaire Ely Calil
has been accused of hiring Simon Mann. It is alleged
that, had the coup been successful, its backers,
including Calil, would be given oil concessions in the
tiny state that is now producing more than 250,000
barrels a day ..." "The Lebanese-born millionaire, now a British citizen, made his fortune in oil trading with Nigeria. And that's where he got caught with Elf-Aquitaine of France. In June 2002, he was arrested by French police in connection with the payments of illegal commissions by a subsidiary of that French oil giant to the Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha. Calil was later released on appeal, although the payments are still under investigation. Now, he may be prosecuted in the UK under the anti-terrorism act ..." "To save his skin, the master of the spider-web may be willing to talk to German investigators about Elf-Aquitaine's ways of buying politicians ... remember, there has always been suspicion that German politicians were bribed when former GDR-industries were up for sale ..." ... "and, that's why I would like to talk to someone in the German government ..."

into the death of the Chelsea-pensioner. |
