International Cooperation Reveals Child Abusers Using Internet

Russian special forces rescued a seven-year-old boy who was kidnapped in September near his school in Gorki after an unnamed U.S. intelligence agency scouring hidden areas of the internet found a link between the boy and a user of the dark web.

Russia KidnapperA kidnapper in Russia, who held a seven-year-old boy a hostage for nearly a two months, detected and arrested through international cooperation. (Photo: INTERPOL)The U.S. officers allerted INTERPOL’s Crimes against Children unit which mobilized police in several countries to supply clues that could help locate the boy and the dark web user. INTERPOL then sifted through huge amounts of data and sent relevant information to authorities in Moscow.

The dark web is used by all kinds of criminals because as it is accessible only with anonymity-providing tools. Nevertheless, cybercrime investigators often track the perpetrators down and pass the information down to agencies that connect law enforcement worldwide.

Following the information they received, Russian special forces narrowed their search, identified the suspect and raided the home where the boy was being held.

The Russian Interior Ministry showed in a video how police had to forcibly enter the house to reach the kidnapped child.

“Today, a young boy is back where he belongs – with his family,” INTERPOL Secretary General, Jürgen Stock, said. He reminded that “many children are still out there awaiting rescue.”

However, predators like this one do not only use the dark web to exploit their victims.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) said on Monday that a 36-year-old man from Norfolk has admitted to 96 sex abuse offences against 51 boys aged four to 14 after authorities tracked him down thanks to a hint from Facebook.

The social network spotted in 2017 nearly 20 accounts of boys ranging from 12 to 15 years old, who had in 2017 sent “indecent images of themselves to an account seemingly belonging to a 13-year-old girl,” the statement said.

US lawmakers move to end anonymous shell companies in national defense spending bill

A major anti-money laundering reform is expected to arrive in annual omnibus legislation with bipartisan support.

Lawmakers in the United States say they have taken a significant step closer to enacting a major anti-money laundering reform that would make it more difficult to move dirty money through U.S. firms. Late last week, Democrats in the House and Senate announced that they had included provisions targeting anonymous shell companies into a must-pass national defense spending bill. The move is significant because, unlike many pieces of legislation that languish in Congress, the omnibus bill is often approved on a bipartisan basis to continue funding national defense.

“It is past time to put an end to the secrecy that allows drug cartels, human traffickers, arms dealers, terrorists and kleptocrats to exploit the United States’ banking system in order to carry out anti-American activities,” Mark Warner, a Democratic senator from Virginia and advocate for the reforms, said in a statement. “I know that the current holes in our financial system pose a serious threat to national security.”

If passed, the legislation would in large part end anonymous shell companies in the United States, mandating that every company report its ultimate owner to the U.S. Treasury Department. This would allow law enforcement to quickly ascertain who owns firms involved in potential financial crimes.

A prevalence of anonymous shell companies makes laundering and moving money derived from corruption or other criminal activity easier, and makes the lives of compliance officials and law enforcement harder. This was underscored in ICIJ’s recent FinCEN Files investigation, a global collaboration involving more than 100 media partners around the world examining torrents of suspicious money flowing through major banks. The project was based on leaked U.S. Treasury Department documents detailing more than two trillion dollars flowing through the U.S. financial system. The records showed bank compliance officers searching in vain to determine who was behind shell companies moving massive amounts of money through their firms’ accounts.

African Economies Haunted by Oil-Backed Loans as Traders Call in Debts

Controversial deals that offered quick cash in exchange for future oil production are eating up government budgets.

Already reeling from years of civil war and corruption, South Sudan’s economy is being shaken again by plummeting petroleum prices, and a line of creditors demanding repayment for years of oil-backed loans that date back to the beginning of the country’s civil war.

South Sudan was one of a handful of African oil-producing nations to sign “prepayment agreements” with international commodity trading firms, which gave governments cash at the time in return for shipments of oil to be delivered later on.

“Such deals were an important source of financing for many oil-rich governments on the continent during a commodity boom that began around 2007,” said David Mihalyi, a senior economist at the Natural Resource Governance Institute.

When oil prices later fell, first in 2015 and 2016, then again this year, countries like Chad and the Republic of Congo needed more oil than they were able to deliver to repay the money they had borrowed.

When South Sudan took its first prepayments in 2013, oil topped $100 a barrel. Within a few years, prices had halved, effectively doubling the amount of oil needed to repay loans that had already been spent. Then, in April this year, oil plunged below $20 a barrel.

In the meantime, creditors have come calling.

Britain’s High Court in June ordered South Sudan to pay commodity trading giant Trafigura $9.7 million within 30 days. Court documents show the government had already paid an additional $36 million towards the debt earlier this year, following legal action after South Sudan failed to deliver six cargoes on time between May 2018 and March 2019.

South Sudan had instead allocated the shipments to other creditors, according to an oil ministry report that has not previously been made public.

As oil prices have fallen, repayments on oil-backed loans are exacerbating an economic crisis in a country that depends on oil for 85 percent of its national budget.

G20 Leaders Agree to Follow FATF’s Anti-Money Laundering Measures

Leaders of the G20 reiterated their commitment to following anti-money laundering policy measures recommended by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which stressed their importance amidst the COVID-19 pandemic at a summit over the weekend hosted by the Saudi presidency.

“We support the Anti-Money Laundering (AML)/Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) policy responses detailed in FATF’s paper on COVID-19, and reaffirm our support for the FATF, as the global standard-setting body for preventing and combating money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing,” a G20 leaders’ declaration published on Sunday stated.

The anti-money laundering authority reminded G20 leaders in a prepared written statement that as the COVID-19 pandemic persists, criminals and corrupt politicians have been “misappropriating funds and misusing government contracts for personal gain.”

“The hard truth is that, despite some successes, the vast majority of countries are failing to implement the necessary measures,” the FATF said, saying that it is time for G20 countries to show leadership by “going beyond rhetoric, and tackling persistent problems.”

Specifically, it urged leaders to increase investments to law enforcement so that they have the resources to follow corrupt money flows, provide up-to-date and accurate beneficial ownership information so that shell companies can no longer launder funds anonymously.

Non-financial sectors – lawyers, accountants and company service providers – which the FATF refers to as the “gatekeepers to the financial system” must also be closely monitored, they added.

“Money laundering fuels crime and terrorism… It undermines just competition, hampers growth, deepens inequality, and erodes confidence in the integrity of the global financial system,” FATF president Marcus Pleyer said to world leaders at the summit.

“Taking the profits out of these crimes will protect people, the environment and the economy,” he added, stressing that the G20 “must start leading by example and act now to stop money laundering.”

“Baggies of USBs” – PA Witness Gives Explosive Testimony: I Personally Observed USB Cards Being Uploaded to Voting Machines – Now ’47 USB Cards are Missing, Nowhere to be Found’

The Pennsylvania state legislature on Wednesday held a hearing on the 2020 election issues and irregularities.

One very credible witness described how he personally observed dozens of USB cards being uploaded to voting machines which resulted in 50,000 votes for Joe Biden in a short period of time.

The witness introduced himself: “My name is Gregory Strenstrom, I am from Delaware county, former Commanding Officer in the Navy, veteran of foreign wars, CEO of my own private company, a data scientist & forensic computer scientist & an expert in security and fraud.”

“I was told that every election they leave a couple of USBs in the voting machines…after talking to law enforcement I found out that was not the case, that more than two [USBs] is unusual — so, they denied they did it but as of today, 47 USB cards are missing and they’re no where to be found…so I was told personally that these cards that were uploaded…they didn’t update the vote live in real time,” Strenstrom said.

He continued, “They only uploaded about once every 2 or 3 hours. I demanded they updated the vote so I could see what the result was and it was 50,000 votes — and as a computer scientist, an American and a patriot it doesn’t matter who those 50,000 votes were — I’ll tell you they were for Biden but what was shocking to me as an American and someone who has gone to sea, gone to war that could even happen.”

WATCH:

Strenstrom said, “In all cases the chain of custody was broken.”

“It was broken for the mail in ballots, the drop box ballots, the election day USB card flash drives, in all cases they didn’t follow any of the procedures defined by the Board of Delaware County of Elections,” he said.

Mr. Strenstrom told the panel that he witnessed a man who was “not a part of the process” walk into the vote tabulation center with “baggies of USBs.”

“I personally observed USB cards being uploaded to voting machines by the voting machine warehouse supervisor on multiple occasions. I saw this personally. I brought it to the attention of the deputy sheriff who was there stationed as a senior law enforcement officer and I brought it to the attention of the clerk of elections — I objected,” he said.

“I said this person is not being observed, he’s not a part of the process that I can see, and he is walking in with baggies which we have pictures of and we have submitted with our affidavits

and he was sticking these USBs into the machines. I personally witnessed that happen over 24 times – we have other witnesses that saw it including Democrat poll watchers.”

Cartel Gunmen Kill Local Police Chief in Mexican Border State

Cartel gunmen from a faction of Los Zetas reportedly used an armored truck to ambush and kill a town police chief and one of his aides 40 miles south of the Texas border. The chief suffered several attacks from organized crime in the past.

On Tuesday, gunmen from Tropa del Infierno with the Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas used armored vehicles to attack and ultimately kill Francisco Leonidez Cruz, the police chief in Dr. Coss, Nuevo Leon. Cruz, a former Mexican Army sergeant, and two of his aides tried to fend off the attack. One officer survived and managed to call for help.

Dr. Coss is a rural community 40 miles south of the Mexican border city of Miguel Aleman. Miguel Aleman and other nearby communities are battlegrounds in a fierce turf war as the CDN-Los Zetas try to take lucrative smuggling territories from the Gulf Cartel.

According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by law enforcement sources in Nuevo Leon, the wounded officer claimed the attackers were using “monstruos,” a term commonly used to identify armored cartel SUVs. The three policemen did manage to kill one gunman. At the scene, authorities confirmed the cartel gunman was wearing a uniform with the CDN-Los Zetas logo.

Acting Pentagon Chief Christopher Miller to Visit Mideast This Week to Discuss Regional Issues

Acting US Defence Secretary Christopher Miller will visit the Middle East this week to discuss with commanders and regional partners a range of issues such as combating "malign activities" in the region, the Pentagon said in a press release on Wednesday.

This will be Miller's first international trip since he was named head of the Defence Department.

"Acting Secretary Miller is also scheduled to meet with US commanders and host nation leaders to address security interests and priorities of countering violent extremism and combating malign activities that threaten the sovereignty and stability of the region," the release said.

The statement does not elaborate on what "malign activities" exactly mean here, but given the recent US rhetoric, it probably refers to Iran's activities in the region.

The Trump administration has recently intensified its foreign policy, as the transfer of power to Democrat Joe Biden has officially begun, having been greenlighted by the General Services Administration (GSA).

Media have been speculating that Trump could push for more harsh policies towards the states Washington perceives as enemies, namely China and Iran. According to an Axios report, the Israeli military has been recently instructed to prepare for a possible military strike against Iran to be conducted by the US before the next president enters the White House. The need to prepare is tied with the fears that Iran would supposedly conduct a retaliatory attack targeting Israel directly. However, the report is said to be based on the anticipation of a very "sensitive" period before the inauguration in the US, and not on intelligence.

Last week, the New York Times reported that Trump asked about "available options" against an enrichment facility in Natanz to permanently derail Iran’s nuclear project, but was dissuaded by his advisers, who warned the strike may escalate into a bigger war.

Washington has been pursuing a policy of "maximum pressure" on Tehran for being what it perceives as an "oppressive and illegitimate regime" while also calling on its allies around the world to increase pressure on the nation. The US has blasted Iran with numerous sanctions, while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo once said that Iran must "fundamentally change its behaviour, or it can watch its economy collapse."

Iran, in response, has said that the United States has been waging a targeted campaign against the nation in a bid to isolate it in the region, noting that the sanctions against Tehran affect US allies as well. Following the US presidential election on 3 November, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted that "betting on outsiders to provide security is never a good gamble", adding that Iran was "extending its hand to neighbours for dialogue to resolve differences".

Trump administration denies permit for controversial Pebble Mine

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has denied a permit for the Pebble Mine on Wednesday, likely dealing a lethal blow to the controversial project in Alaska’s Bristol Bay.

The decision on the proposed gold and copper mine is a victory for environmentalists, Native American groups, and the state’s commercial fishing industry, all of which opposed the project.

In a statement, the Corps said it “determined that the applicant’s plan for the discharge of fill material does not comply with Clean Water Act guidelines and concluded that the proposed project is contrary to the public interest.”

Opponents had argued the open-pit mine would leach sediment into nearby waters, harming the state's salmon population while scarring pristine wilderness.

“Sometimes a project is so bad, so indefensible, that the politics fall to the wayside and we get the right decision. That is what happened today,” Tim Bristol, executive director of SalmonState, which promotes Alaska’s salmon industry, said in a statement.

The decision to deny the permit is a departure from some previous findings. The Corps concluded in a July assessment that the proposed project would not affect salmon harvests in the area. That finding was a reversal from an Obama-era determination that it would.

The Pebble Partnership, the company developing the mine, said it plans to appeal the decision.

“We are obviously dismayed by today’s news given that the USACE had published an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in July that clearly stated the project could successfully co-exist with the fishery and would have provided substantial economic benefit to the communities closest to the deposit. One of the real tragedies of this decision is the loss of economic opportunities for people living in the area,” company CEO John Shively said in a statement.

The decision follows mixed messaging from the Trump administration.

Frontrunner to Replace Sen. Harris Fights to Pay Out $35 Mil to Biden Firm

California's top elections official is pushing the state to pay out a $35 million contract with a major Democratic consulting firm as he lobbies behind the scenes for a Senate seat.

California secretary of state Alex Padilla (D.), reportedly the favorite to fill Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's Senate seat, awarded Democratic public relations giant SKDKnickerbocker the lucrative deal in August as part of a voter outreach program. Weeks later, however, Democratic state controller Betty Yee's office refused to approve the contract, arguing that Padilla did not have the authority to pay for it.

The resolution of the dispute could be a make-or-break issue for Padilla. His victory in a fight that would send a tranche of money to some of the country's leading Democratic strategists could ease his path to being appointed to fill Harris's seat, a decision that Democratic governor Gavin Newsom plans to announce prior to inauguration day on Jan. 20.

SKDK has deep ties to Harris and President-elect Joe Biden. The firm's managing director, Anita Dunn, led Biden's presidential campaign, which has disbursed more than $2.2 million to SKDK since December 2019. Newsom did not make any payments to the firm during his runs for lieutenant governor and governor in 2014 and 2018.

According to internal emails obtained by CalMatters, Padilla has spent months fighting to pay the Biden-linked firm following Yee's rebuke. The Democrat personally lobbied Yee to approve the payment in an Oct. 20 email, citing an August bill signed by Newsom that called on Padilla to "conduct a statewide voter education and outreach campaign."

Padilla issued the contract on an "emergency" basis, meaning that it did not require a competitive bidding process and was not approved by relevant state agencies before it was awarded. The lack of transparency sparked criticism from Yee's office: In a September email, chief counsel Rick Chivaro wrote that trying to get a "definitive answer" on the contract was "a little like catching a greased pig."
