Scottish police are investigating claims by Libyan authorities that a powerful member of Muammar Gaddafi’s inner circle used money meant for hospitals and housing to buy luxury hotels in the Highlands and a string of multimillion pound homes...
Ali Ibrahim Dabaiba may have awarded contracts worth more than £200m to companies that he ultimately controlled, Libyan prosecutors claim. They allege he then laundered the proceeds in England and Scotland. .. helped by his sons, his brother, and a group of British associates
based in Dunfermline, near Edinburgh...The information originally came to light through the Panama Papers. A network of more than 100 companies in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Malta, Liechtenstein and Britain connected to the Dabaibas and their suspected associates has been
identified by asset trackers appointed by the Libyan government. ..Dabaiba’s suspected assets include the 500-year-old Kenmore hotel on the banks of the river Tay, which claims to be Scotland’s oldest inn. The Kenmore is managed by the Aurora Hotel Collection, a small but
growing portfolio of boutique Scottish hotels...
The dossier also calls for help in investigating taxpayer-funded deals worth more than 437m Libyan dinars (now £225m) for consultancy work on hospital and archaeology projects in Libya, allegedly awarded in 2008 by Dabaiba to
companies controlled by twin brothers Malcolm and Andrew Flinn and their associate Steven Turnbull, who operate from an office at Dunfermline
Filings show Marco Polo Storica, a Scottish company awarded two contracts for planning restoration work at ancient Greek and Roman sites along the Libyan coast, was originally wholly owned by the Flinns,whose background is in banking; Turnbull, who is a business graduate; and
Walter Calesso, an Italian living in Scotland whose previous work was in interior design..
“It is likely that Marco Polo Storica was set up … to misappropriate Libyan state funds ..
The same claim is made of Evergreen Consulting Ltd, based in Malta. Part owned by Calesso, the Flinns and Turnbull, according to the Libyan litigation department, from 2008 until 2010,
Evergreen signed six contracts with ODAC for supervising construction work on a series of hospitals.
In UK company filings, Turnbull &the Flinns appear as directors &shareholders in dozens of concerns. Of these companies, 35 shared the same address: 16 Comely Park in Dunfermline
Arrgh, so now I've bumped into something else which I need to look at now
Colin Turnbull also owns restaurants and bars in an upmarket area of Edinburgh , like
Less than 1/2 mile away from the restaurant of renowned chef Paul Kitching who passed away suddenly in December 2022 bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2023/0…

Evita Giardian review:
"In the background lurks Che Guevara (Antonio Banderas), Evita's creepy stalker, turning up at various points in her life to make catty remarks and remind her of her impending death. In real life, the two never met, theguardian.com/film/2008/oct/…
though the young Guevara did once write Evita a letter asking her to buy him a jeep. It was a joke. Probably you had to be there."
