National bank of Egypt (Al Ahly Bank of Egypt) is laundering Mubarak's money

Hesham Ezz el Arab - Chairman and director of CIB-Bank and known to be the Private Banker and friend and of Gamal Mubarak when working for Merrill Lynch in London.

The Mubarak's wealth is in the billions and most of it is kept in offshore accounts. The Mubaraks hold LE250 million (about US$42 million) at the National Bank of Egypt‘s Heliopolis branch alone. 
Alaa has 10 accounts in different banks, Gamal has eight, and Hosni Mubarak's wife Suzanne has six, besides the Alexandria Library bank account which holds US$145 million. 

The family had secret bank accounts in Egypt. Most of the money which Alaa has at the National Bank of Egypt -- more than LE100 million -- was obtained through brokerage and the blackmail of investors. 
A complaint filed to the Prosecutor General by a former lawmaker, further said that Alaa and Gamal Mubarak had tens of millions of pounds and dollars in “secret” accounts at the National Bank of Egypt. It referred to deposits of $147 million for Mubarak’s wife and $100 million each for the two sons.

It is alleged.according to judicial sources, that Mubarak’s end-of-service and financial clearance statements have been examined and attached to the reports submitted to the Illicit Gains Authority (IGA) .

The Mubarak family is accused of illegal acquisition of wealth through abuse of power.

The question now is: why the National Bank of Egypt is not placed under investigation and its entire management especially the Legal Department, which has the main duty to supervise and stop any transaction that involved money laundering or abuse of authority. 
To the contrary, the same department and all it's senior lawyers are still running the National Bank of Egypt and overlooking all its transactions, including the money transfers on behalf of Hosni Mubarak and family.
It is illegal for any prisoner to transact any of his wealth or bank accounts while investigated for illicit gains.
How come that National Bank of Egypt is now paying out on the Mubarak's accounts?

According to investigation reports, Gamal Mubarak controlled senior positions in banks and took a lead role in appointing the board members as well as the Chairmen for these banks. 
Gamal Mubarak's choices were determined mainly by the candidate's friendship to himself.

The heads of several banks are implicated in the report, among them Hassan Abdalla, executive director of the Arab African International Bank, Tarek Amer, head of the National Bank of Egypt, Hesham Hassan, head of the Export Development Bank and Hesham Ezz El-Arab Chairman of Commercial International Bank (CIB) which is 51% owned by National Bank of Egypt.

The directors of these banks are still on their leading seats and by looking at the salaries that Gamal Mubarak approved for them we can be sure that their loyalty is not to Egypt or the Egyptian People. Their loyalty will be to the man who placed them on the chairs of those banks. Those men are the same friends that helped the Mubaraks to smuggle embezzled funds, gained through misuse of power.

Those are the heads of our Egyptian banks who accepted monies from Mubarak and his family and helped them to transfer it overseas to secret accounts. 
Those bankers knew that the deposits they accepted were stolen from Egyptian institutions such as The Alexandria Library Fund. 
National Bank of Egypt helped Hosni Mubarak personally to steal a cheque for $120 million given to Egypt on 25th August 1990 by Sheikh Zayed Ben Sultan, Head of the UAE. the cheque was deposited in the account of Mubarak at the National Bank of Egypt and cleared through Bank of New York on the 31 August 1990.
Almost a year ago in February 2011 Capital Intelligence (CI) downgraded National Bank of Egypt (NBE)'s Long-Term and Short-Term Foreign Currency Ratings to BB+ and B, respectively, from BBB- and A3. The Outlook towards the Bank was revised to ‘Negative' from ‘Stable'. The Support Rating is accordingly adjusted downwards to 3 from 2. The Outlook for the Bank's Financial Strength Rating of BB+ is also revised to ‘Negative' from ‘Stable'. 

How much do the managers of those banks earn per month? How much the lawyers in the legal departments, the public relations managers are paid in remunerations ? How much does Tarek Amer or Hisham Ezz  or any of the others earn per month including remunerations, compensations, expense, car and transportation? How much commission do they make per year?

I ask you Mr. General Prosecutor to investigate each one of those so called bankers. For the sake of Egypt and for the sake of the Egyptian people who suffered for the last 30 years. I ask you to investigate and get to Egypt the money stolen from its people.

It is well known within the corridors of Justice where they say: "Catch the Banker and you got the Thief".

  1. Financing a state of anarchy is easy if you have the banks on your side...

  2. The gap between what is and what could be has reached new heights. The choice facing us is either the chaos or anarchy. Between a system built on authority and a society based on freedom. Between self-destructive competition and self-empowering co-operation. Between despair and hope. Between capitalism and freedom. "An...archism, the no-government system of socialism." (Kropotkin) It means ending the power of the state, and getting every one in Egypt to say: "This is not my Revolution." Then a White Knight, let it be Mubarak, his son or any other symbolic character will show up and volunteers to lead the country out of "Chaos" into order. At that moment no one will object because the country will be in such a bad situation that the people will accept any leader toget them out of it. This is the "Plot". This is the name of the game: Chaos=Anarchy=Order
