John Dalli’s
Bahamas trips, the Singapore and Dubai connections. In July 2012 Dalli’s
daughter Claire rented a very expensive ocean front villa in Nassau for US$8,
000 per month for a period of a year.
During the
tenancy agreement the property was visited about four times for very short
periods. The question that arises from this is why would John Dalli pay a total
of US$96, 000 in rent for a property the other side of the world to use for a
few days?
The
rent was to be paid by one of John Dalli’s companies, Tyre Ltd.
Examining the
company profile of Tyre Ltd, as published on line, raises a lot of questions.
The company was
established in 2010 trading in minerals and metallurgy. So, this company was established the same
year Dalli was appointed EU Commissioner on the 9 February 2010.
The main
questions here are: Where did John Dalli acquire the science and technology for
the purification of metals?
Also, where in
Malta did he have the necessary plant for this process and where was he going
to acquire the volume of material needed to turnover ten (US$10 million) to
fifty (US$50 million) per annum?
The company
profile also states that it dealt in commodities like food, water, beef and
canned food etc. for humanitarian relief.
Where was the warehousing needed to store this food stock? There is no
record that the company owned or rented such facilities or that it ever
performed such business.
The company
profile also states that it employed 11 – 50 employees. Again there is no such
record that the company had that number of employees.
This indicates
that John Dalli had ulterior motives when he was appointed to the lucrative and
influential position of EU Commissioner which he had described as a “four year
jail sentence” despite the fact that he had the option not to accept the
appointment.
Going back to the Bahamas trips,
allegedly he and his daughter Louise visited Nassau in August 2012. They flew
from London to Nassau using regular Maltese passports. He had a meeting with
some Bahamian officials with the intention of setting up an off shore account.
Allegedly the sums discussed were
US$100 million. This was to be transferred from Dubai and then Chase Bank NYC.
For some reason the transfer did not happen.
In early
September 2012, while on EU business in Cyprus, Dalli rented a private jet and
slipped away to Nassau with international fraudster Emma Corbin aka Mary Swan,
Lady Bird etc. At the time he left the meeting claiming family reasons. 48
hours later he returned with his group to Malta via Iceland (EU entry point, no
stop in USA, jet refuelled in Halifax, Nova Scotia). He did not stop to refuel
in USA most probably because of complications with Emma Corbin’s passport. He
must have known that his game was up later in September and was aware that he
was being investigated by OLAF.
Who is Emma
Corbin AKA Suzara Maling, Mary Swan, Lady Bird, Nina Petros, Myra Klein and possibly several
other aliases?
Emma Corbin is the woman with whom John Dalli was discussing a
multi-billion-dollar project. She is an international fraudster, con artist and
scammer called Eloise Marie Corbin, a US citizen who is unable to use her
American passport and so moves about using a series of fake passports and
aliases and the identity of a Filipina woman.
She entered Malta by
private jet after being bailed from a Bangkok jail where she had been held for
trying to enter Thailand using a false Philippines passport. She operates in
Malta under the name Mary Swan, aka Lady Bird or LB, which is how the Dalli’s refer
to her.
If John Dalli hasn’t
been conned himself along with his younger and hence possibly much more
gullible daughters, then what we are looking at here is a major
money-laundering operation.
If he has been conned,
there are two possible scenarios:
1. He was fooled into
believing that this woman has access to huge sums of money when she does not;
2. She does have huge
sums of money which she has defrauded out of others, and he has been conned
into believing that they are genuinely earmarked for charitable operations.
What is sure is that
John Dalli is no fool, he likes playing the victim and he has a history of
dealing in influence. In fact during the time he was Minister he gained a
reputation “the man to see” if you need anything irregular.
Let’s consider that it
must have been either 1 or 2 because somebody as innocent and naive as John
Dalli, a qualified accountant, former Minister of Finance (12 years) and EU Commissioner
would have never thought for one moment that what he was dealing with was a
money-laundering operation.
Perhaps he thought
that Mary Swan really is who she says she is, even though this blog had
relatively little trouble finding out that
she is a fraudster and also discovering that she is in fact a wanted person
using several aliases and fake passports.
This raises the
question why would an EU Commissioner, former Minister of Finance and a long
time qualified accountant deal with an internationally blacklisted fraudster
who moves about the globe using private jets, aliases and fake passports. The
alarm bells ring very loud indeed.
Mary Swan has used all
the aliases mentioned above and has been arrested using at least two of them:
as Nina Petros when she pulled a scam in Cyprus in 1998 and ruined the then
archbishop of Limassol, and as Suzara Maling when she tried using this false
passport purportedly issued by The Philippines, where she had been living.
She was detained at
Bangkok airport, Thailand, for using a fake passport, and kept at Samutprakran
Central Prison. Chutthrathipya Monthonkan, the Thai who was one of the original
directors of Tyre Ltd (company secretary – Claire Gauci Borda John Dalli’s eldest
daughter) and who is still a director today, paid her bail and organised a
private jet to fly her to Malta.
Now going back to the Bahamas
property John Dalli’s daughter Claire failed to pay the rent. After threats of
legal action against his daughter Claire through the Maltese courts by the
Bahamas property owner, all the rent under contract was promptly paid in full
in February 2013.
When his
Bahamas trips became public knowledge, Dalli claimed that he had rented the
villa and hired the private jet to conduct charity work for Africans. Everybody
knows that Dalli is not famous for his charitable works. The name of the
charity has never been revealed and neither has any charity come forward in his
defence to back up his claims. Why would he spend so much of his own money on
renting a property and hiring a private jet which must have cost overall more
than US$250,000? And why would he bail out an international fraudster from a
Thai jail? Also, for how long has he been doing business with this woman?
It is also
strange that the international fraudster Emma Corbin aka Mary Swan, Lady Bird
etc, who returned to Malta with Dalli, most probably using a false passport,
was living in FLAT 4, 58 High Street, Sliema has not been heard of any more. The question
is why and who is protecting this international known criminal?
On
the 6 July 2013 in an article published in the Malta Independent on Sunday
quoted Dalli as saying “this project was still being drawn up, and that
information about it was very sensitive. But he insisted that the financing involved was far
north (greater than) of the US$100 million mentioned by the IHT: the
initiatives that have been prioritised would require billions of dollars”.
Mr Dalli revealed he was to set up sustainable
economic projects in various sectors – he mentioned farming, mining, oil and
energy as examples – in various African countries, which would create jobs and
foster economic growth in the local community. The profits from these economic
projects, he added, would be used to support other initiatives in education and
health.
The
prioritised projects alone, he said, would create 28,000 direct jobs and
115,000 indirect jobs, assist 13 million poor people and feed and educate seven
million children. He said that at this stage, the countries of operation
envisaged are Ethiopia, Nigeria and Ghana – the Niger Delta, an oil-rich region
of southern Nigeria, was also included in the list of countries.
John Dalli
really thinks big. As charity begins at home he should set up a charity to help
Malta pay off the national debt
(CURRENTLY AT €5,854,510,697http://www.nationaldebtclocks.org/debtclock/malta
) that he had helped in contributing a large amount to during the years he was
Finance Minister.
As usual, when
John Dalli’s Bahamas trips and relationship with Emma Corbin etc., became
public knowledge he went into overdrive claiming entrapment, set up, defamation,
victimisation, conspiracy and a million other things. WHAT A PLONKER.
I still
maintain that John Dalli is the most corrupt politician in Maltese history.
