-+- Bribery Was Everywhere -+-
|
|
|
|
BCCI had a bribery list of U.S. elected public officials.
|
|
Reference was made to this list during Congressional testimony
|
|
(September 13, 1991) before the House Banking Committee, chaired
|
|
by Representative Henry Gonzalez. One method reported for
|
|
conveying bribes to members of Congress was through the Chicago
|
|
Commodity Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, Chicago Board Options
|
|
Exchange, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Money was put into
|
|
commodity exchange accounts overseas under the name of a
|
|
particular member of Congress. Periodically the Congressman would
|
|
be informed that there was money in his account, and he was
|
|
advised how he could withdraw it if he wished. Huge amounts of
|
|
cash were brought into Chicago to orchestrate this scheme.
|
|
|
|
-+- Both Political Parties Implicated -+-
|
|
|
|
As in many of the scandals described within these pages, both
|
|
political parties were implicated, receiving large financial
|
|
contributions or bribes from the illicitly operated bank. As in
|
|
the savings and loan scandal, members of Congress were handsomely
|
|
rewarded for either looking the other way or obstructing any
|
|
investigations. The key to continuing the corruption and harms
|
|
inflicted throughout the world by BCCI was bribing the U.S. and
|
|
other officials.

|
-+- The Senate Report -+-
|
|
|
|
[The Senate Foreign Relations' Subcommittee on Terrorism,
|
|
Narcotics and International Operations] issued a nearly 800-page
|
|
report (October 1, 1992), accusing BCCI of using political
|
|
insiders to commit fraud upon the United States on a global
|
|
scale. The report stated that there exists "an elaborate
|
|
corporate spider-web with BCCI's founder, Agha Hasan Abedi and
|
|
his assistant, Swaleh Naqvi, in the middle." The report stated
|
|
that BCCI's *modus operandi* throughout the world, including the
|
|
United States, was bribery and subversion of government
|
|
officials.
|
|
|
|
The report stated that BCCI "systematically bribed political
|
|
figures around the world." Senator Hank Brown, a member of the
|
|
Senate committee, stated at a news conference, "We found it was
|
|
BCCI's overpowering use of the nation's political insiders like
|
|
[former Defense Secretary] Clark Clifford... that permitted
|
|
BCCI's secret expansion in the United States."
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
The report describes the financial contributions or bribes paid
|
|
to various members of the U.S. Congress, including former Senator
|
|
John Culver (D-Iowa) and Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah)...
|
|
|
|
Senator Hank Brown (R-CO), who was the subcommittee's ranking
|
|
minority member, stated BCCI's financial contributions were so
|
|
extensive that "there was not a single committee of this Congress
|
|
that wanted to conduct a complete, thorough investigation."
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
The report stated that BCCI used political insiders such as
|
|
former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford and members of Congress
|
|
to commit fraud on a global scale. It described how BCCI paid
|
|
members of Congress, lobbyists, and attorneys to obstruct the
|
|
investigation into its terrorists and drug-money-laundering
|
|
activities. The report implicated Democrats and Republicans,
|
|
lawyers and lobbyists, public relations firms, Congressional
|
|
staffers and former senators.
