The GLA investigation into the Johnson-Arcuri case is on hold pending completion of another inquiry by the IOPC which is itself suspended. Beyond that case here is a thread of other concerns about #Boris #Johnson conduct while #London #Mayor #Corruption
2. Marcus Ball reports that Johnson's lawyer, now Judge Supperstone, was paid £35,500 by the GLA in 2008.

3. Save Britain's Heritage investigated 15 decisions where Johnson personally intervened against a local plan or a Borough planning decision
4. eg Johnson overrode Hackney's decision against a school/flats plan using Mayor's powers intended only for councils failing their housing targets. Developers Telford Homes sit on multiple GLA advisory panels:

5. #Johnson overrode the Spitalfields scheme in favour of property company British Land. He rejected the Mount Pleasant plan in favour of slab blocks. He tried to push through the Paddington Pole - higher than the Shard. He approved 400 tower blocks of 20+ storeys. #corruption
6. #Johnson planning legacy:

7. The Bunker in Hackney won £4m in grant & match funding from #Johnson London Regeneration Fund. The director of owners Bootstrap sat on the LRG Tasking Group.

8. "No cost" Garden Bridge cost taxpayers £46m+ pre cancellation. #Johnson took GLA-paid £10k trip to S Francisco, his travelling companions undisclosed. Heatherwick Studios detailed a garden bridge, other 2 bidders proposing a footbridge. Diff.specs?

11. The Hackney Walk retail development funded just a few years ago with a grant from #Johnson Mayor's Regeneration Fund is already derelict:

12. £1bn squandered on #Johnson vanity projects: Garden Bridge, Estuary Airport, Docklands Cable Car, Orbit Olympic Sculpture, Boris Bikes, Boris Bus.

13. #Johnson #Mayor agency London & Ptnrs shared a Beijing office with Asian Business Park, developers of Royal Albert Dock. 2010-12, ABP associate Xuelin Black donated £162k to Tories. Her donations dried up after ABP won the Dock contract in 2013.

[#Thread] Welcome to night of the long threads part two, this one's on #Algeria. A few of you got in touch (@fatenaggad & @OpenAlgeriaOrg) to ask about the trend #كلنا_زغماتي , which translates as "we are all Zeghmati". Belkacem Zeghmati was appointed Attorney general earlier
2/ this year. However, Zeghmati is at odds with the country's judges after they went on strike after a huge reshuffle. The strike threatens the #December12 elections in Algeria, which are being opposed by the opposition who believe it will just lead to the continuation of an
3/ elite junta. So essentially, the hashtag "we are all Zeghmati" is seen as supporting the status quo, a quasi military government that doesn't represent the democratic demands by many Algerians. Anyway, next up is the analysis, which will add to a great one by @AymeneZermane

It has been suggested that Private Equity firm KKR is responsible for #CafeCoffeDay founder #VGSiddhartha's suicide.

The firm has come under scanner in our research in many aspects of National Security as well.

Here is a thread on the various operations of KKR in India
As per the report MO of foreign PE firms like KKR is to borrow money from Indian Banks at 8-9% and then lend it to Indian businesses at a whopping 20-25% - the high rates of interest makes it difficult for native business to survive or remain profitable to repay the lenders.
KKR is the second largest foreign PE investor in #CCD with 6.07% (1.28 crore shares) after selling approx 4.25% in Feb 2018, making at the time 10.3%. Foreign investors together hold 22.35% stake in #CafeCoffeeDay valued at Rs 724 crore.

Here is a #thread for the May 14th court proceedings in the trial for #NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. These are my notes after reading through the transcripts provided by court.
Court begins with an immediate sidebar which is redacted from the transcripts. After a discussion the jury is brought in and the judge explains an alternate juror was sick and they would adjourn for the day. The attorneys still have some things to discuss, however.
A discussion starts by assistant U.S. Attorney Moira Penza. She says some materials have to do with things recovered during a search warrant at Nancy Salzman’s home at 3 Oregon Trail when Raniere was arrested.

Today, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Brackeen v Berhardt.

If you care about...

the wellbeing of Native children
Native American rights in any capacity
the future existence of tribes

you need to follow this case!! Here's why:
#THREAD #DefendICWA
When ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, was created 1/3 of all Native children had been adopted out of their tribe & were raised by White families. ICWA says when a Native child is up for adoption family members, tribal members or Native homes are prioritized for placement
Even with ICWA in place Native kids are disproportionately separated from their families, tribes and culture. Today, over half of US states are out of compliance.

#Thread #JNU #MeToo: ICC just made sure no woman will ever find the courage to report a sexual violation to them. They said the complaint "was frivolous" and hence not proven conclusively. The story doesn't clarify whether "malicious intent" was proven. indianexpress.com/article/india/…
#JNU #sexualharassment #MeToo: In that case, here's what the POSH Act states. Malicious intent has not been proven. And the mere inability to prove the case doe NOT merit punishment as harsh as being recommended by JNU ICC.
So what are the punishment suggested? For starters she's being treated like a common criminal. Please remember this is a student we are talking about.
