If it is and you have had business dealings with him then we suggest that you feel afraid, very afraid.
The Guardian newspaper reports; “The offshore bank account details of 2,000 ‘high net worth individuals’ and corporations – detailing massive potential tax evasion – will be handed over to the WikiLeaks organisation in London tomorrow by the most important and boldest whistleblower in Swiss banking history, Rudolf Elmer, two days before he goes on trial in his native Switzerland.”
“Elmer says he is releasing the information ‘in order to educate society’. The list includes ‘high net worth individuals’, multinational conglomerates and financial institutions – hedge funds. They are said to be ‘using secrecy as a screen to hide behind in order to avoid paying tax’. They come from the US, Britain, Germany, Austria and Asia – ‘from all over’.”
Rudolf Elmer plans to hand over offshore banking secrets of the rich and famous to WikiLeaks.

Fraud. —“ an intentional deception or dishonesty.”— “a crime.”
Crime. —“ an act committed or omitted in violation of a law.”
Serious Crimes .

Contempt of Court.
Pictet & Cie.
Pictet & Cie Bank –Partners –(1996—2010 )- guilty.
Peters &Peters – Partners.— (1999—2010 )- guilty.
The bank and it’s officials/lawyers deliberately withheld crucial documents requested under a High Court order. The bank and it’s officials/lawyers deliberately withheld evidence from the Police, and one of it’s account managers Susan Broadhead gave a false witness statement .
Another one of it’s managers Nicholas Campiche ( Now Head of Pictet – Alternative Investments.) concocted a letter pretending to be a client and closed his account. The senior partner (Ivan Pictet.) sought to have numerous documents destroyed,along with those copies held in their London office’s of Pictet Asset Management. Initially stating that they were forgeries then their lawyers Peters & Peters – Monty Raphael –and the barrister Charles Flint.Q.C. later had to admit in Court that the documents were genuine.

Barry Sheerman .M.P.—quote.
———“ Constituents of mine have lost £2 million through fraud. The fraudster used Pictet & Cie – – a French Bank – – and Pictet Asset Management to back the fraud being perpetrated.””
(1) It is a criminal offence for a bank to knowingly act for an undischarged criminal bankrupt in so far as it seeks to assist that criminal bankrupt in the fraudulent movement of monies. ( Money Laundering.)
(2) It is a criminal offence for a bank to lie to the police and the bankrupts trustee in bankruptcy in so far as any knowledge of, or dealings with the bank was refuted .
(3) A bank can be guilty of Contempt of Court if it fails to comply fully with the Courts order for discovery .
(4) The banks contempt is further compounded if it fails to address its error after it is specifically drawn to the to its solicitors attention. ( Monty Raphael).
(5) It is a criminal offence under the Financial Services Act to seek to destroy evidence that might be relevant to an investigation .
(6) It is a criminal offence not to relinquish control of funds to the Trustee immediately the fact of the bankruptcy is drawn to the banks attention.
(7) It is a criminal offence to lie or otherwise obfuscate the lawful and proper enquiries of the F.S.A.
In the F.S.A. cover up , they concluded that there had been “ Rogue” elements in Pictet & Cie’s , London operations . They had been moved from their London Office so who was there left to prosecute. “ Unbelievable.”
On Dec 9th,2008. the complaint was sent to 150 Members of the House Of Lords and 230 Members of Parliament.

*** –Now —- The Prime Minister.
(1) Bankers who behave irresponsibly should face professional consequences.
(2) If anyone is found to have behaved criminally they must be prosecuted.
(3) The F.S.A and the Serious Fraud Office should be following up every lead, and
investigating every suspect transaction .
(4) We need to make it 100% clear –those who break the law should face prosecution.
(5) That we make sure we root out any wrongdoing that may have happened,whoever is
involved, however high or well connected they may be.

On Aug 19th.2009.another complainants file regarding the “cover up” was forwarded to the same 380 members.
We started our campaign in June 2008 — via the “net” to highlight our fight to get “justice”. In our second year campaign we hoped to reveal further damning evidence . Due to there being an on going Police investigation into our complaint we are at this moment unable to place dozens of documents on to the “net”. Again we thank other “ E- Mailers” for their information in relation to our campaign.

You can be the richest man in the world with the best lawyers that money can buy but you cannot win against a man who has got nothing left to lose and is telling the truth.

• Monty Raphael. Steps down as head .( Peters and Peters ) May. 2009.
*** We note that there has been a sharp increase in Peters & Peters partners leaving to go to other practices. Moving does not alleviate them of any responsibility from any illegalities that may have occurred at Peters & Peters during their partnership tenure. From 1999 onwards.
*** Were currently waiting to see if the Police and other Law Enforcement Bodies attempt to cover this case up like their F.S.A. counterparts. If they do –“ then watch this space.”
We have recently been informed that due to pressure from our M.P. that the Ministry of Justice have asked Lord Myners to investigate our claims that the F.S.A. covered up the illegal activities of Pictet Asset Management. London.
The consensus of opinion is the Pictet & Cie should be prosecuted , and that their banking licence’s should be taken away in the U.K. ( and fined.)
Their solicitors at Peters & Peters — struck off and prosecuted..

Over approximately five years of hitting the
internet with a case that involves criminality by a major Swiss Bank
, Britain’s most prominent fraud lawyer and a regional police force
headed by one of Britains top policeman. ( Surely justice should
prevail.)
In fact the complete opposite even though the offences
committed are very serious.
Conspiring to Pervert the Course of Justice.
Perverting the Course of Justice.
Contempt of Court.—————— plus a dozen or
so smaller offences.
In the five years some 6-7million e-mails have been
forwarded to all Members of Parliaments in Britain and Switzerland,
every barrister and chambers in Europe .
Every law inforcement body in both countries , and
America. Even raised in Parliament twice.
The banking fraternity fully aware of this case still
decide to give the Private Banker of the Year Award to Ivan Pictet
— Pictet & Cie Bank. ( Him being the person most responsible
for the crimes committed by him and his bank partners. )
The legal fraternity decided that Monty Raphael of
Peters & Peters . London became an honourable Queens Counsellor
and to rub the salt in six months later made a Master of the Bench.
He also was guilty of all the above offences but so what. At this
rate he might become King by the end of the year.
The police ( West Yorkshire Police.) headed by Sir
Norman Bettison has not improved as a force on fighting crime. They
are now worse than the days of the Yorkshire Ripper , when they had
him in custody nine times and let him go. If it hadn’t been for the
South Yorkshire Police force catching the Ripper he would have still
been at large to day .
Then they wonder why the man in the street becomes angry
and decides to riot.
Even after five years of exposing their crimes on the
internet , they dare not take legal action to stop us — no
injunctions — no writs – they can’t risk going to jail.
All we can do is to continue pressing for justice and up
the pressure on the internet. For the next five years and beyond.
