Interpol’s role
Interpol’s primary drug-control role is to identify new drug trafficking trends and criminal organizations operating at the international level and to assist all national and international law enforcement bodies concerned with countering the illicit production, trafficking and abuse of cannabis, cocaine, heroin and synthetic drugs by:
* collecting and analysing data obtained from member countries for strategic and tactical intelligence reports and disseminating these reports to the concerned countries;
* responding to and supporting international drug investigations;
* helping to co-ordinate drug investigations involving at least two member countries;
* organizing operational working meetings between two or more member countries where Interpol has identified common links in cases being investigated in these countries;
* organizing regional or global conferences on specific drug topics, the aims of which are to assess the extent of the particular drug problem, exchange information on the latest investigative techniques and strengthen co-operation within law enforcement communities.

"As requested by the PG, the Interpol will meanwhile also get hold of the not yet released information by the FBI",
Sounds very ... international. No wonder she's scurried off back to the classroom all lowkey like. |
Actually if I am not mistaken the Interpol was asked to intervene in getting some unreleased investigation done by the FBI in the States. |
I wonder what Spencer Bachus and Dick Shelby think about this.

'KINGPIN' BILL IS LOBBYISTS' TARGET
Senate Aide Says He Was Fired For Refusing To Back Changes
A fired Senate intelligence committee aide said yesterday that powerful Washington lobbyists representing foreign businesses are attempting to undermine legislation that would require U.S. officials to designate foreign "drug kingpins" and freeze their holdings in the United States.
The aide, Jim Stinebower, who helped draft the drug-trafficking bill, said he was fired 13 days ago at the behest of Sen. Richard C. Shelby ( R-Ala. ), chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, for refusing to back changes sought by business interests in Mexico and Aruba. Several Republican sources also said Shelby's insistence on amendments had led to the firing of Stinebower, the panel's chief drug analyst.
Stinebower's concerns were echoed by Rep. Bill McCollum ( R-Fla. ) Tuesday in debate on the House floor. "Sadly, we have discovered in this Congress that we are not insulated from efforts of the kingpins to buy influence and corrupt our political institutions," McCollum said. "Their narco-lobbyists were paid well to try to shape and gut this bill through this process. Well, they have not succeeded, fortunately."
McCollum's comments came minutes before the House overwhelmingly passed the measure, 385 to 26, and sent it to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain.
The House legislation, backed by the Clinton administration, would require the U.S. government to compile an annual list of suspected drug kingpins, similar to the list kept of terrorist organizations. The government could then freeze their U.S. assets, bar their entry to the United States and prohibit American businesses from dealing with them.
The Senate passed a similar measure in August as part of the fiscal 2000 intelligence authorization, which is now in a House-Senate conference committee. Shelby, who wants to amend that bill, denied that he has been influenced by lobbyists in any way. Shelby said through an aide that he is only trying to protect U.S. businesses from being unfairly sanctioned in the event one of their foreign partners is designated as a drug kingpin under the legislation.
Shelby's aide said the senator wants a provision added to the bill in conference committee stating that U.S. companies would have an automatic right to judicial review if their assets were seized following the drug kingpin designation of one of their foreign partners.
"The concern that we've had from the beginning--and it's not a slight one, it's a real one--is that U.S. companies could get caught up in this thing," said the Shelby aide, who asked not to be quoted by name. "Senator Shelby supports this legislation, but he just wants to find a way to protect U.S. business and the due process of U.S. persons."
The aide also denied that Stinebower's dismissal was related in any way to his work on the bill.
Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand, a major Washington law firm, began an intensive lobbying effort to amend the legislation on behalf of Transportacion Maritima Mexicana ( TMM ) after the Senate in August unanimously passed an earlier version of what is now called the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.
John A. Merrigan, a Verner, Liipfert partner, said TMM remains concerned about the legislation after a June report by the National Drug Intelligence Center that he said falsely accused the giant shipping conglomerate of involvement in drug trafficking. The report was based on intelligence gathered by the CIA, FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Customs.
If such a "false, libelous and defamatory" charge were leveled against TMM with the drug kingpin legislation in effect, Merrigan said, the company and its U.S. joint venture partners could have their assets frozen by the Treasury Department without notice and without the right to review by the courts.
"We feel very comfortable for our law firm's sake that we're not representing drug traffickers and that our [proposed amendments] make good sense and are very modest," Merrigan said.
Another major D.C. law firm, Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, recently began lobbying on behalf of Glossco Freezone, an Aruba business controlled by the Mansur family, some of whose members have been indicted in the United States on charges of conspiracy to launder drug trafficking proceeds, congressional sources said.
Barney J. Skladany Jr., the Akin, Gump partner representing Glossco, did not return repeated telephone calls for comment.
Sen. Paul Coverdell ( R-Ga. ) and other members of the Senate GOP leadership may try to go around Shelby and the conference committee and vote directly on the House-passed version, according to GOP staff members.
"We have a version that protects American business--the House version," said one high-ranking Republican staff member. "Anything beyond this is changing the intent of the bill."

I am anxious to hear what the "not yet released information by the FBI" is. I would think Beth would be concerned about its release.

The posts I've read here lead to the drug trafficking/sex trade.
AmSouth Bank was heavily fined for not more actively investigating the source of cash of some client investors.
Beth has been astonishingly quiet of late. Surrounded now by the hallowed walls of MB.

So many little "coincidences".
Shelby connected to Mansurs.
Mansurs connected to Twittys.
Amsouth and Mansurs connected to money laundering.
No trace of Natalee.
