Senate report details stretch Hummers, skirt-chasing attorneys, shrink-wrapped cash!
The senate is holding hearings and issuing a report today that shows how a number of corrupt African officials — and their American enablers — used the U.S. banking systems to launder vast amounts of money. A good chunk of the report builds on revelations made here last November about Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, son of the dictator of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea.
Two American attorneys set up shell accounts for Obiang to help him buy a $30 million home in Malibu and a $38.5 million jet. All told, Obiang moved more than $110 million into the U.S. from 2004 to 2008. One of the shell companies was called Sweet Pink, named after the rapper Eve Jeffers, who was then Obiang’s girlfriend and the president of Sweet Pink. (Eve later dumped Obiang, reportedly after hearing rumors that his dictator father was a cannibal who ate his political opponents. The senate report neither confirms nor denies that Obiang Sr. is a flesh eater.)
One of Obiang’s helpers was attorney Michael Jay Berger, who will be testifying before the senate today. From the report:
In addition to this cash compensation, as a result of his relationship with Mr. Obiang, Mr.
Berger was invited to exclusive social events and venues in Southern California. After a party called the “Nguema Summer Bash” on September 14, 2007, for example, Mr. Berger sent the following email to Mr. Obiang:
“Thank you very much for inviting me to your party and for being so nice to me at the
party. I appreciate the super VIP treatment that you gave me…The food was
great, the drinks were better than great, the house, the view, the DJ, the white tiger were
all SO COOL! Best of all were the people that I met there because of you.”
Mr. Obiang also arranged for Mr. Berger to be invited to the 2007 “Kandy Halloween
Bash” at the Playboy Mansion. After the party, Mr. Berger wrote:
Thank you very much for inviting me to the Kandy Halloween party @ The Playboy
Mansion and getting me the VIP treatment. I had an awesome time. I met many
beautiful women, and I have the photos, e-mail addresses and phone numbers to prove it.
Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, attended a press briefing on Tuesday. I asked him why Obiang was not on a list of corrupt foreign officials barred from the U.S., as is required by a presidential proclamation issued by George W. Bush and is supposedly enforced by the State Department. “That’s the right question,” Levin replied. ” We will press our report on the State Department.”
Other revelations from the report include:
Omar Bongo, the deceased former president of Gabon, used an American lobbyist named Jeffrey Birrell to buy armored vehicles (including a stretch H2 Hummer) and transport planes. Bongo’s daughter kept $1 million in shrink-wrapped bills in a safety deposit box at a New York bank
The arms dealer Pierre Falcone, currently in prison in France, had dozens of bank accounts with Bank of America.
Congressman Issa’s Joke: Dictatorship in Kazakhstan, and Washington D.C.
A bizarre congressional hearing yesterday, as Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister, Kanat Saudabayev, testified before the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which is co-chaired by Congressmen Benjamin Cardin and Alcee Hastings. The Kazakh government is forever trying to give the impression that President Nursultan Nazarbaev is keen on democratic reforms, even though human rights groups and the media find no evidence to support that. “Rather than loosen its hold on media, internet is being increasingly censored,” Peter Zalmayev of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative told me. “Rather than cooperate with civil society to improve its laws, the government continues to throw its critics in prison.”
Even on the day of the hearing came news that Kazakh officials had “seized editions of at least five opposition and independent newspapers that contain an article alleging corruption by President Nursultan Nazarbaev’s son-in-law.”
Other than contingents of Kazakh government officials, beltway lobbyists hired by the government and a few human rights activists, hardly anyone turned up for the hearing. Hastings and Congressman Eni Faleomavaega, American Samoa’s non-voting representative in congress and an ardent ally of the Kazakh government who once suggested that the Kazakh dictator be nominated for the Nobel Prize, were on hand and Congressman Darrell Issa dropped by. According to someone at the hearing, Issa said there was basically no problem with Kazakhstan being a one-party state because Washington was now one as well.
Update:
Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Issa at the House Oversight & Government Reform
Committee, says that transcript of the hearing “doesn’t back up the angle and criticism in your story and headline regarding Rep. Issa.”
Here’s the relevant section from the transcript:
[T]hroughout the region, not just in Kazakhstan, not just in Afghanistan, there has been a difficult time in the democratization of producing competing parties, although in your country—and I’ve had the honor of visiting, and I have a former staff member who works on democracy in Kazakhstan—there are competing movements. They seldom—the seeds don’t sprout, and so you don’t have a two-, three-, four-party system in which they have representation in your parliament.
I want to share with you something here today. Washington, D.C., is exactly the same. This is a one-party town, even though there are people who are not Democrats. And this town has decided to have representation, at least one member of the council, who is chosen simply to represent minorities. And I might plant that seed, that throughout the emerging democracies, even though it would not usually fit in the U.S. democracy system, we all have to struggle to find a way to ensure that those who cannot get enough votes, but who represent other forms of diversity, find a way to actually get representation within parliaments, city councils, and other bodies.
Issa added, “[Y]ou are not by any means the greatest democracy, nor are you least democracy (sic), but a struggling democracy trying to find the right way to lead your country in a post-Cold War period.”
Hill said that Issa has traveled to Kazakhstan “and on each visit has met with democratization and human rights advocates not only to gain their perspective but to show his support for their work. I’m concerned that your story will be used by opponents of democratic change in Kazakhstan to falsely press the point that Congress doesn’t care about these issues when this simply isn’t the case.”
However, an article at Eurasianet echoed my criticism of the hearing:
The US Helsinki Commission in recent months has been a frequent and vocal critic of Kazakhstan’s record on human rights and democratization. But commission members gave an enthusiastic welcome to Kazakhstani Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev on February 2…
The three members of the commission who were present during Saudabayev’s appearance asked no questions about, and offered no criticism of Astana’s internal situation….
Darrell Issa — a Republican congressman from California who has nominated Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, for a Nobel Peace Prize — used the occasion for partisan political purposes, attempting to equate the political situation in Kazakhstan with that of the United States.
Obama, Year One
Many Democrats and liberal bloggers are trying to convince themselves, publicly at least, that last night’s victory by Scott Brown was largely due to the poor campaign run by Martha Coakley. She did run a lousy campaign but it’s pretty clear that disappointment with Obama and the Democrats contributed greatly to Coakley’s defeat.
After one year of Democratic rule, Obama and his party’s major achievements have been, in no particular order:
—Making the extremely popular cause of health care extremely unpopular.
—Electing a conservative Republican from the bluest state in the country to the senate.
—Reviving the corpse that was the Republican Party.
—Demoralizing the Democratic base.
—And yes, even enhancing the image of George W. Bush, by putting him in the spotlight on Haiti (which is particularly ironic given his administration’s support for the overthrow of that country’s elected leader in 2004).
At this rate, Dick Cheney may be a viable presidential candidate in another year.
Note: Best headline of day from the Village Voice:
“Scott Brown Wins Mass. Race, Giving GOP 41-59 Majority in the Senate.”
