Tunisia’s exiled President Ben Ali and the Riviera RLTV 18 Jan 11 Paris investigators are researching options to prosecute an unnamed associate of exiled Tunisian President Ben Ali for money laundering, according to Nice Matin. The paper reports that the Ben Ali family and wife, Leila Trabelsi were regular visitors to the Cote d’azur. Trabelsi was in Monaco for the Grand Prix last May hiring a suite in the Metrople. According to a former employee, the family owns an entire building in Monaco opposite the Grimaldi Forum. Ben Ali’s family spent several summers in the Gulf of St. Tropez renting four or five villas in Ramatuelle (pic). Ice cream and yoghurt from St. Tropez were often flown to Tunis for dinner parties held by the Ben Ali family

If our court is so good in retrieving stolen money in the interest of the state then I see no reason why we are unable to do so from the crooks among us. Why are they walking our streets with impunity?

Please do not hand him over. This robbery allegation is obviously untrue.

They only want him in the country to kill him.

Ghana must be careful on this issue.

Omar Bongo pocketed millions in embezzled funds, claims US cable guardian.co.uk 30 Dec 10 Gabon’s late president Omar Bongo allegedly pocketed millions in embezzled funds from central African states, channelling some of it to French political parties in support of Nicolas Sarkozy, according to a US embassy cable released by Wikileaks and published by El País. A senior official at the Bank of Central African States (Beac) told a US diplomat in Cameroon of Bongo's "brazen" defrauding of the bank which holds the pooled reserves of six central African countries, including Gabon, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Shortly after Bongo's death in 2009, the US embassy in Yaounde said the bank source told them: "Gabonese officials used the proceeds for their own enrichment and, at Bongo's direction, funnelled funds to French political parties, including in support of French President Nicolas Sarkozy." The Bongo clan is one of three families of African leaders currently under investigation in Paris over whether they embezzled state funds to acquire vast assets in France, including bank accounts, Riviera villas and fleets of luxury cars.

The last paragraph of this news report has said it all ... is also recognized by the UNHCR. Better leave this man alone because the allegation/accusation against him does not hold limpid water but murky political water.

FR3 Video The Late Gabon President's Controversial Properties In Nice RLTV 13 Jun 09 Gabon President for 42 years, El Hadj Omar Bongo died on Monday 8th June 09. Prior to his death he was under investigation by judicial authorities in France for alleged embezzlement. It was alleged that the volume of real estate owned by Mr Bongo's family in France could not have been purchased with official salaries alone. In recent weeks his bank accounts in France were frozen following bribery allegations. In 2007 a police investigation into real estate owned by the President and his family in France disclosed 33 properties in Paris and Nice worth an estimated $190 million.

Amongst his properties in Nice are an estate on Boulevard Frederick Sperling in Nice's wealthiest district Cimiez (pictured above) with three villas, two apartments and a pool worth €5million and an apartment complex in nearby Avenue Scuderi. Mr Bongo was also linked to the 1990s investigation of the French state-owned oil firm Elf-Aquitaine, which exposed a murky world of bribes and secret funding of political parties. He was named as the final beneficiary of millions of dollars transferred into Swiss bank accounts - but again, he strongly denied any wrongdoing

Under no circumstances should Ghana send this refugee to Quattara's death and torture chambers.

The UN had determined that The butcher of Abidjan is torturing political opponents to death through inhuman and degrading conditions.Ghana will be failing its duties under the Geneva conventions and its additional protocols of which we are signatories if we allow Quattara to have his way.

The man is a brutal and ruthless person.His treatment of the supporters of his opponents in Abidjan during the war speaks volumes of the man.He is blood thirsty and we should not feed his craving for blood.

If some some reasons we don't want this refugee on our soil,we should send him to another country and not Ivory coast.

FAR TOO OFTEN, AFRICAN LEADERS & THEIR CRONIES AND ARE GIVEN REFUGE BY THE WEST - ONLY BECAUSE THE LOOTED MONIES HELP WESTERN ECONOMIES - LOOK AT MUBUTU, UMARI DIKO, BABY DOC TO NAME BUT A FEW.
According to the Africa Union (AU) around $148 billion are stolen from the continent by its leaders and civil servants.

Now think of this. What do you think will happen if instead of stealing the money and banking it in Switzerland, Monaco, France, Britain, Cayman Island and the rest as the governors in and the leaders in Africa have been doing, the money is invested in training teachers, doctors, engineers, invested in infrastructure-roads, telecommunication, harbours, hospitals, schools, research institutions? What do you think will happen if every school has library with the right kind of books that will enable students to get the knowledge and skills they need? What do you think will happen if the money is invested in generating electricity for those living in the villages, towns and cities?
THE ONLY WAY LOOTING WILL STOP IS FOR THE LOOTERS TO KNOW THERE WILL BE NO HIDING PLACE.

French investigators no right to probe wealth says Congo's Sassou Nguesso rfi.fr 08 Apr 13 Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso on Monday said, following a meeting with French counterpart Francois Hollande, that French justice had no right to investigate his alleged ill-gotten gains. Two Parisian prosecutors have been investigating the conditions under which vast wealth - including French Riviera and Parisian residences, fleets of cars and other property - were acquired in France by Sassou Nguesso, as well as Gabon's late president Omar Bongo and President Teodoro Obiang Nguema. "What we would like to recall is.. non-interference in internal affairs," Republic of Congo President Sassou Nguesso told journalists after more than an hour of talks with Hollande
