A Unaoil executive has had his bribery conviction reversed by a court because the UK's Serious Fraud Office concealed documents during discovery.
Likely to narrow the case & hide SFO ignoring oil industry corruption. thetimes.co.uk/article/8e3a8e…
The Serious Fraud Office is joking referred to as the Serious Fraud Office!
That they are serious fraud trying but failing to convince people that they seriously investigate fraud...
The judges stopped short of calling it intentional but with their track record of taking a small scapeoat or patsy to let the Serious Fraudsters get away, it is not convincing.
So why is the head of the agency under fire?
She met with a former DEA agent who runs a private intelligence firm who worked for the Swamp creatures that ran Unaoil.
So convict the fixer, ignore the larger crimes of the company. Which limits investigation into other cases.
One of the primary ways the Swamp is protected is by engineering the conviction of a low level plotter while not going after the people behind them.
Convict a scapegoat & declare victory while the politically connected crooks get away.
It might have worked at the Serious Fraud of an Office, but FBI & DOJ continue hunting for Unaoil corruption & the big corporations that used them as middle men in corrupt infrastructure & oil deals.
Unaoil's middle man in Libya went from paying bribes to the Khadaffi's for oil deals to becoming the agent responsible for security contracting at the US Consulate in Benghazi before those guards ran away while Al Qaeda attacked it.
Looks like it was option #2.
SFO was dropping the investigation of the Ahsani family & going after a scapegoat to limit the investigation that might lead to swamp creatures connected to the Ahsani's.
Former DEA agent David Tinsley also met with the UK's Attorney General & likely convinced them to not investigate the allegations that Tinsley had convinced the Serious Fraud Office to not investigate his clients.
More details on what Tinsley allegedly arranged.
Getting 2 scapegoats to plead guilty in exchange for the Serious Fraud Office dropping charges against the Ahsani family owners of the company that ran the bribery scheme.
Tinsdale runs 5 Stones Intelligence Agency.
Offering government agencies asset tracking & recovery services for the proceeds of crime.
Why do I find that so significant?
DEA agents caught running illegal money laundering undercover operations & protecting some of the cartels.
This specific investigation is for activity after Tinsley left DEA, but it seems that these illegal money laundering operations & the protecting of big players while arresting scapegoats was happening at DEA for many years.
Did Tinsdale go to the Serious Fraud Office & try the "they belong to intelligence" excuse to protect his clients for Swampy bribery charges all over the world?
Kevin Davis, 1 of the officials at SFO was accused of deleting his cell phone data to conceal his contacts with Tinsley.
He left SFO in 2020 but was hired as Director of Guernsey's Economic & Financial Crime Bureau.
CBP Agent Jeffrey Rambo even implied to Watkins that he was with FBI & told her he was trying to recruit her as an FBI confidential human source.
There is a huge but as yet unreleased OIG report on the scandal.
Was this also an effort to flip Wolfe against SSCI?
If you don't understand how charges in Zambia matter for swamp draining, you don't understand how the Swamp is filled with dirty money.
3rd World officials are bribed by middle men to get access to natural resources by multinational extractive industries: oil, mining, fish, etc.
These middle men then launder the money to politicians to protect the deals. Buying off the foreign policy establishment in the US & Europe to support policies to protect the 3rd world leaders who play ball & regime change those who do not.
Then they block criminal cases against the middle men, commodities companies, multinationals, NGOs & banks that enable it. Because their bought & paid foreign policy experts tell the politicians it is in the national interests to protect those 3rd World leaders & supply chains.
PWC auditing firm even helped the L.A. Dept. of Water & Power set up a dirty billing system that let them overcharge customers by at least $67 Million.
The #ButNothingsHappening cases are moving from the banks to the Hedge Funds who are rigging markets to profit off short selling & other manipulation schemes.
FBI's investigation of global Swampy consulting firm McKinsey costs Canada's Ambassador to China his job. He was formerly managing partner for McKinsey.
Why would Hunter Biden take the Chairman of Walmart wanting to rig the 2020 election to stop Trump from draining the Swamp?
FBI did not ignore the laptop, they got a GJ to subpoena it & make it admissible agains the people Biden recorded. #ButNothingsHappening

Walmart outsourced their controlled substances supply chain in 2018 because they were under investigation. 2018, the same year their CEO is tring to get rid of Trump.
Where did DOJ file that complaint in federal court?
The District of Delaware, where the investigation was lead.
