CAIRO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Egyptian authorities said on Thursday they had blocked a scheme aimed at financing the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and alleged a link to the imprisoned founder and former chairman of dairy and juice firm Juhayna (JUFO.CA), Safwan Thabet.

 

The scheme aimed to funnel funds using Thabet's companies into "terrorist activities", the interior ministry said in a statement, adding that $8.4 million and ammunition had been found in an apartment in Giza, across the Nile from central Cairo. It described Thabet as a "Brotherhood leader".

 

The Thabet family have denied any wrongdoing in statements on social media. A lawyer for Juhayna could not be reached.

 

Thabet was arrested in December, and his son Seifeldin was detained in February after taking over as chairman.

Panamanian Foreign Minister Erika Mouynes told Axios that Panama warned the Biden administration months in advance about a surge of Haitian migrants headed toward the southern border.

 

Mouynes also said Wednesday that another wave of migrants from Haiti, this one numbering as many as 60,000, is currently headed toward the United States. Panamanian government estimates provided to Axios reportedly showed that more migrants are expected to pass through the Darién Gap jungles in the next month than in all of 2019 combined.

DEA Investigation Fails to Hold Officials Accountable for Lax Security at Haitian Seaport, Illegal Drug Flow

7/30/2021

 

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) today notified the President and Congress that Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials in the Port-au-Prince, Haiti Country Office failed to secure a key Haitian seaport used by drug smugglers. The whistleblowers, former DEA special agents who worked in Haiti, alerted OSC to inadequate training, security, and resources at DEA Port-au-Prince. The disclosure was filed in the wake of a 2015 drug smuggling incident involving the discovery of a large quantity of cocaine and heroin aboard the M.V. Manzanares cargo ship. The whistleblowers alleged that only a small amount of the seized drugs was secured.

 

OSC referred the whistleblower allegations to the Department of Justice for investigation, which delegated the investigation to DEA. The DEA investigation found the whistleblowers' allegations unsubstantiated, claiming the DEA was engaged in efforts to improve port security, despite simultaneously maintaining that seaport security lies outside the agency's mission and responsibility.

 

In comments, the whistleblowers sharply disagreed with this finding. They contend that DEA's assertion that it holds a “limited role" in Haitian seaport security confirms the agency is unwilling to take responsibility or consider the need for corrective action against the unimpeded flow of illegal drugs through Haiti. The whistleblowers further contend that the DEA Office of Chief Counsel's involvement in the investigation represented a conflict of interest and impacted the findings.

 

After reviewing the findings and comments from the whistleblowers, the Special Counsel found DEA's investigation to be unreasonable because it did not adequately explain the agency's failure to provide additional training and requested resources for seaport security. The DEA report also failed to explain why there was a significant delay in severing ties with a corrupt Haitian police official.
