Blotchy Hands And Feet
Dear Friends Dear friends I can not resist the pleasure to inform you that the complaint against three African leaders at the level of ill-gotten gain been deemed admissible at the French court.
I leave it - below the press release of Transparency International:
"ill-gotten gains" means the Supreme Court agrees to accept the complaint of TI France
The Court of Cassation overturned the ruling just last one year by the Court of Appeal of Paris ruled admissible the complaint filed by TI France in the case known as "ill-gotten gains."
This complaint concerned the circumstances in which a very important real estate and furniture was purchased in France by the Heads of State of Congo - Brazzaville, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and members of their entourage.
Transparency International France and SHERPA greet a landmark decision that will allow the appointment of a judge and opening a judicial inquiry.
The appointment of a judge should determine under what conditions the assets in question was acquired and those in which numerous bank accounts identified by the police were fed. This information should also help shed light on the role played by the various intermediaries who could facilitate the transactions issue. One thinks especially of banks identified in the preliminary hearing which is questionable compliance with their obligations under anti-money laundering.
Restitution of stolen assets
Without prejudging the outcome of the proceedings, and Transparency International France SHERPA expect the statement that it contributes to the manifestation of the truth and that eventually it leads to the development effective implementation of restitution - specifically enshrined in the UN Convention against Corruption, ratified by France in 2005.
Lawsuit associations
This decision constitutes a significant legal step that goes beyond the matter of ill-gotten gains. For the first time in France, the lawsuit of an association to fight against corruption on behalf of the interests it has set itself the subject of defense is deemed admissible. This decision, consistent with the whole evolution of positive law on collective action associations, and should allow the future to overcome the inertia of the floors in certain sensitive political and financial affairs.

This decision is a sign that the action of NGOs and pressure groups and produces fruit that invites us to continue Sr. Eliane
