No surprise that London was the venue of choice to organise this bribery and corruption ...


The firm’s London-based investing arm was headed by Michael Cohen, who left in 2013. He worked on mining deals that kicked back millions of dollars in bribes to African officials, according to the person familiar with it, adding that bribes were paid to Libyan officials as well. The business came at a price through a web of fixers, enablers and shell companies.

Cohen and several others individuals connected with Och-Ziff are still under investigation and could also face charges, the person familiar with the matter said. The parent company will sign a so-called deferred-prosecution agreement, meaning that ordinary operations can continue and charges would be dropped if it stays out of trouble for a period.

serving on a jury is educational.

The stories one hears.
After a long trial a jury retired to consider their verdict and review the evidence.
One woman took out her knitting and said, 'you can all decide and I will go along with it.'
She said, he is guilty anyway, I can tell by his eyes.

frightening.

Is that supposed to prove something leeds?

Lookit the howlers the CPS has presided over (you?)

In any case, what was the motive to bring a civilian aircraft down? What possible advantage would the Roosians gain?

srpactive surely you are not another apologist for Putin's imperialist pretensions!

maxk I used to prosecute very serious criminal cases for a living. When the jury foreman/woman stands up and says Guilty, the case is proved.

where is Snowdon when we need him.
He taught the World that Americans were the super hackers.
They called him a traitor for giving away state secrets.

In the course of one week three things we have learnt about Russia,

1. They bombed the Allepo relief convoy.

2. They supplied and trained those who blew up the Malaysian Airlines.

3. They are ramping up oil production to record high to try snd win market share whilst benefitting from lower costs from a weak Ruble whilst selling in a stronger $.

Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine by a Buk missile brought across the border from Russia and fired from a village under the control of pro-Russian rebels, an international criminal investigation has said.

In a press conference on Wednesday in Nieuwegein, in the Netherlands, the Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT) said there was conclusive evidence that a Buk 9M38 missile hit the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, killing all 298 people on board.
