CHAPTER 10 – THE UNFREEZING OF THE BANKING ACCOUNTS M.P.S. AND THE C.F.M.

Finally a ray of light in the darkness of the suffered abuses. Thanks to judge Jèrome Fougers Lavergnolle , it was possible to obtain the first unfreezing after several requests, registered letters, meetings and false declarations. He had taken the place of judge Hullin.

After a further waiting  period with several postponements, on 3 May 2005, Pierre Baron’s unfreezing order arrived . Some substantial irregularities emerged.

In fact the only civil part which gave itself up was Francesco Castellino. Mrs Maria Grazia Cucinotta (after the clarifications about the fact of London) had desisted through her lawyer Gazo and had already got back her money owed to her by BNL in London and the cheque by judicial liquidator Garino who had also desisted . In fact there was a first payment authorized by judge liquidator Narmino, but  maybe the dossier was not updated?

In search of elucidation  : the usual not  knowing, or so it seems to me and as always, no written answer ! Following a demand dated 19 January 2005,  on 27 May 2005 the P.G. Daniel Serdet remitted the list of the unfreezing accounts. Thanks to its great professionalism the Bank Il Monte dei Paschi in Monaco transferred the funds in short time. On the contrary the Credit Foncier in Monaco postponed even sending  a simple fax and this fact perplexed everybody.

The doubts about the handling of the whole case had been confirmed by such anomalies.

The most upsetting fact was of Credit Foncier in Monaco, from the accounts which had been unfreezed, it was possible to have the balance of DAISY Ltd  with great surprise .

At this point several questions come up :

-        if in that account there were the funds of  the perpetrated fraud to the Banca di Roma, why weren’t they at the disposal of the  judicial authority and given back to the rightful owner?

-        Where are such funds?

-        As judge Hullin had found the mysterious deposits, why hadn’t he arranged for their  sequester in favour of Banca di Roma?

These are the mysteries of banking justice in Monaco !

After several faxes, phone calls, reminders, only with the help of lawyer Bertozzi was it possible to get back the funds which had been heavily reduced by charges , after a long stopping period in the bank.

Furthermore it was also difficult to get back the funds of the "Association International Economist", founded by me and of which I was the President. I had to get the funds through one of the consociates. I don’t understand why?!

Where it was possible to be against me, they were without scruples, offering only vain excuses.
