SAINT LUCIA IGNORES ARRESTS, CIU ALLOWS COMPANY ACCUSED OF ORGANIZED CRIME IN EASTERN EUROPE TO START CONSTRUCTION OF CIP PROJECT

SLC PRIME MINISTER PIERRE, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER ERNEST HILAIRE, LAWYER THADDEUS ANTOINE, AND THE ENTIRE SAINT LUCIA CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PROGRAM ARE IN BUSINESS WITH THE EASTERN EUROPEAN MAFIA, you are aware that a well-known mafia figure, ALEKSANDER MAJIJLOVIC, was recently arrested in Europe on charges of multiple criminal charges tied to organized crime, owns BEMAX, which reportedly has a contract with the Saint Lucia CIP program, to develop a real estate project known as Rock Hall Housing Development. When Deputy Prime Minister Hilaire was questioned by the SLC media, he claimed that he was “not aware” of Aleksander’s arrest, as well as of the seizure of contraband by Montenegro’s law enforcement authorities, in cooperation with EUROPOL, which took several months took place ago. Hilaire completely lost his credibility with that statement, as he is the minister ultimately responsible for CIP.

It is understood that the government of Saint Lucia is now “fully aware” of the situation at this time, but despite the public revelations about Majijlovic and Bemax’s criminal conduct, construction of Rock Hall started this week. The local press has published several images of the site, showing that preparation is now actively underway. What’s wrong with this photo? Under generally accepted CIP industry policies and standards, risk management approval would have been a firm requirement before construction began.

The Risk Profiler for the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) PHILICIA PIERRE*, daughter of Prime Minister PHILIP PIERRE of Saint Lucia, and who by virtue of her position is responsible for communicating the risk status of all contractors working with the SLC Infrastructure Program , and which Bemax most certainly approved, despite the arrests and seizures, which are now public knowledge, as a result of media reporting, should be immediately terminated for crimes and misdemeanors in office. No compliance professional should ever approve the construction of a project based on these facts, and we call for her immediate removal, and for a criminal investigation into her relationship with Bemax by the Public Prosecution Service.

We note that Ms. Pierre, who is known to be a US citizen, has reportedly refused to make the necessary declarations required under US law, in respect of all bank accounts she owns and controls in excess of USD 5,000, which is a further indication of her possible misconduct in the discharge of her duties. __________________________________________________
