27 arrested in Spain for laundering over EUR 65 million drug profits

Criminal network composed of Albanian and Chinese nationals was involved in the production, trafficking and laundering of criminal assets

The Spanish National Police (Policía Nacional), supported by Europol, dismantled a criminal network involved in drug trafficking and laundering large sums of criminal profits. The investigation was initiated in 2021 based on a Europol intelligence report, which led to the identification of a drug trafficking organisation. The criminal group was led by Albanian nationals and was active in the production and trafficking of marijuana, but also organised large-scale money laundering activities for drug trafficking organisations. They used the so-called hawala system of underground banking, while working closely with Chinese nationals.

Law enforcement actions on 17 July 2023 led to:

• 27 arrests throughout Spain in Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Seville and Valencia;

• Seizures of luxury watches and jewellery valued at more than EUR 400 000;

• Seizures of high-end cars, phones, encrypted mobile phones and EUR 615 000 in cash.

EUR 65 million in money laundering turnover

Investigators estimate that the criminal network laundered over EUR 65 million from drug trafficking activities in under one year, between May 2020 and March 2021 alone. The Chinese nationals played a major role in these criminal activities by laundering high quantities of criminal assets through legal businesses. These large sums of money would first go through these legal structures and were then compensated elsewhere. Finally, the criminal assets would reach the country of origin and were then invested there.

The “hawaladars”, of Albanian origin, operated as an illegal banking entity, carried out the transfers and concealed large sums of money from the sale of drugs. This served for the financing of new criminal operations. Two Albanian nationals headed the criminal network, one was the leader while the other took the role of lieutenant and accountant. Two Chinese nationals worked for them as coordinators by managing a large portfolio of numerous Asian establishments spread throughout Spain, which serviced money laundering schemes for drug trafficking profits.

Europol’s role

Europol facilitated the exchange of information and provided analytical support. During the action day, Europol deployed two experts to Spain to cross-check operational information in real time and support investigators on the ground with technical and asset-recovery expertise.

UN President Approves Pandemic Declaration — Privacy Experts Warn of ‘Digital Gulag’

The United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly (UNGA) president today approved the non-binding U.N declaration on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (PPPR), without a full assembly vote and over the objections of 11 nations.

Critics called the declaration, which seeks to create a global pandemic authority with the power to enforce lockdowns, universal vaccination and censorship of “misinformation,” “hypocrisy” and “unhinged.”

The approval came as part of a high-level meeting on PPPR. But what does the declaration mean in practice?

For proponents, the declaration is a key step toward global coordination in pandemic prevention and public health.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it “presents an opportunity … to prevent and prepare for pandemics and their consequences, using an approach that involves all government sectors.”

The WHO also said the PPPR aims to “apply lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic” and “comes as the world faces multiple humanitarian and climate-related crises which are threatening lives and livelihoods around the world.”

In a statement, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “If COVID-19 taught us nothing else, it’s that when health is at risk, everything is at risk.” He linked the PPPR to the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), saying world leaders should “show they have learned the painful lessons of the pandemic.”

Attorney Lawrence Gostin, head of Georgetown University’s WHO Collaborating Center — a key figure “playing a key behind-the-scenes role in negotiations” for the proposed “pandemic treaty” and amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) — said the high-level meeting “is our best chance to gain support and deep engagement of heads of state and government.”

‘Unprecedented’ Agreement Comes at Expense of National Sovereignty

Other experts took a different view. Author and podcaster Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, told The Defender it is “very worrying” that the U.N. and WHO “will further encourage, if not actually authorize, the kind of standing capability or authority on their part to essentially dictate what constitutes emergencies.”

“There’s no getting around the fact that it’s going to come at the expense of the sovereignty of the various nations that will subsequently be told that they have an emergency and told what they have to do about it,” he added. “This is unprecedented.”

Gostin said “Negotiators are at a loss” as to how to balance accountability and sovereignty when implementing instruments like the PPPR, IHR or “pandemic treaty.”

Writing for the Brownstone Institute, Dr. David Bell, a public health physician, biotech consultant and former director of Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund, said “the main aim” of the PPPR “is to back” the “pandemic treaty” and IHR amendments currently under negotiation by WHO member states.

UN Summit Pushing “Masterplan for Humanity” Happening NOW in NYC

The United Nations is scheming right now to overthrow national sovereignty at their Sustainable Development Goals 2023 conference in New York City. It is time to pull the U.S. out of the UN!

The United Nations is hosting the Sustainable Development Goals 2023 conference to supercharge the UN push to implement this so-called “masterplan for humanity,” warns The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman in an episode of Behind the Deep State. The SDGs, as they are known, cover every area of life, and are a recipe for global technocratic government. All of this is a prelude to the Summit of the Future scheduled for 2024.

BRICS is part of the plan to reshape the world economy; it was launched decades ago by Goldman Sachs

They talked about a move away from the dominance of America, Sam said, “They even painted in investment vehicles around this very name and the idea potential for BRICS currency … The theory being that [ ] what these inside bankers were looking at was that the empiristic nature of the American Empire was becoming too obvious.”

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Goldman Sachs’ founding in 1869, the company published a series of articles. One of the articles titled ‘With GS Research Report, “BRICs” Are Born’ stated:

In 2001, Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research Division publishes the report, “Build Better Global Economic BRICs,” coining the acronym for the four countries that would reshape the world economy – Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Other BRICs-oriented research would follow from Goldman Sachs in the ensuing years, including 2003’s paper, “Dreaming with BRICs: The Path to 2050,” which posited that the BRICs countries could overtake the largest Western economies by the year 2039.

By the middle of the decade, numerous BRICs-themed mutual funds, ETFs [exchange-traded funds] and indexes were created to track this distinct group of emerging economies. The first annual BRIC Summit took place in 2009 in Yekaterinburg, Russia, bringing together leaders of the BRIC countries to discuss policy issues and common challenges. The following year, the group voted to invite South Africa to join, cementing the acronym BRICS.

In 2014, the BRICS Development Bank was established in an agreement signed during the sixth annual BRICS summit in Fortaleza, Brazil. Since renamed New Development Bank (NDB) and headquartered in Shanghai, the institution’s goal is to mobilise resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging market and developing countries.

By shining a research spotlight on a select group of emerging economies poised to become the next global growth powerhouses, Goldman Sachs helped both investors and companies frame their thinking and decisions based on a shifting global economic power dynamic. Beyond that, the “BRICs” concept triggered cooperation and collaboration among policymakers in these diverse countries on issues ranging from agriculture, trade, and environmental policies to national security and international finance.

Interestingly, O’Neill was quoted a few days ago as criticising the expansion drive of the BRICS nations. The same article noted that O’Neill coined the acronym MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey) in 2013.

AEC Commissioner Tom Rogers says result of Voice referendum could take days or weeks to become clear due to postal votes

AEC Commissioner Tom Rogers has revealed why the outcome of the Voice to Parliament referendum could take longer to become clear than expected.

The AEC Commissioner has revealed the outcome of the Voice to Parliament referendum could take much longer to become clear than expected because of the number of postal ballots.

Tom Rogers said 1.2 million Australians have already registered to vote in the October 14 poll via the post.

Postal voting is available for anyone who may not be able to vote in-person on the Saturday and applications are set to close at 6pm on October 11.

“People have asked me – will we get a result on the night? And the answer is, I don’t know. It depends on how close the result is on the day,” Mr Rogers said on Thursday.

“Given we’re at 1.2 million postal votes, it could well be that we have to wait for the postal votes to return before the results become clear.

“And we have to wait for a full 13-day period under law just to deal with that.”

The estimated national enrollment rate is now the highest it has ever been at 97.5 per cent, according to the AEC’s website.

Rates of enrolment are also up for Indigenous Australians and the youth cohort.

Eric Wong: Pervert teacher jailed for secretly filming up the skirts of his students OVERTURNS his sentence

Pervert teacher to walk free

Mental health issues cited

A teacher who was imprisoned for secretly filming up the skirts of high school students will walk free from jail after a judge overturned his sentence on appeal.

Eric Wong, 29, was jailed in July for at least six months after he took 90 videos and 300 photos of students in his class at Cammeraygal High School in the affluent north shore Sydney suburb of Crows Nest over a period of two years.

In overturning his sentence on Thursday in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court Judge John North said Wong had a voyeurism disorder that would be better treated in the community rather than in jail.

Justice North said while it is 'not an easy thing' he had come to the conclusion that given the time already served Wong's mental health issues remained 'unresolved' and needed attention.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declares ‘humanity has opened the gates to hell’ on climate

A brutal climate change warning has been issued to world leaders after a year of extreme weather events, as Australia prepares for its own crisis.

World leaders have been issued a stark climate warning following a year of record heat, fire, flooding and storms.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has told leaders the climate crisis had “opened the gates to hell” during the 78th General Assembly where leading polluters China and the United States were conspicuously absent.

Talks were partly overshadowed by an announcement from Britain that it was rolling back policies that would help it achieve its net-zero goal. Britain was also absent at the summit.

Despite increasing extreme weather events and record-shattering global temperatures, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, while fossil fuels remain subsidised to the tune of $10.8 trillion annually.

Mr Guterres had billed the “Climate Ambition Summit” as a “no-nonsense” forum, ensuring that only leaders who had made concrete plans to achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions would be invited.

In his opening address, he cited 2023’s “horrendous heat” and “historic fires”.

However, he stressed: “We can still limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees,” referring to the target seen as needed to avoid long-term climate catastrophe.

“Humanity has opened the gates to hell,” Guterres warned.

After more than 100 applications, the UN released a list of 41 speakers, which did not include China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or India.

Several major leaders didn’t bother making the trip to New York for this year’s UN General Assembly, including President Xi Jinping of China and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak from the United Kingdom.

Contrary to their stated goals, centralized solutions and globalism are poised to increase disaster risk, undermine knowledge production, impede economic growth, and hinder scientific progress. They should also be rejected on ethical grounds.
