Prisoner transfer agreement
A source within the Scottish Government informs me that the prisoner transfer agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and Libya on 17 November 2008 will be ratified on a date between 27 and 30 April 2009. At any time thereafter an application could be made by Abdelbaset Megrahi for repatriation to Libya. I have no information on whether it is likely that an application will be made and, if so, when. The decision on whether to grant any such application rests with the Scottish (not the UK) Government; and the Scottish First Minister is on record as saying that repatriation should not be granted to anyone convicted in respect of the Lockerbie atrocity. A cynic might, however, regard it as interesting that the prisoner transfer agreement will become operative just at the time that Mr Megrahi's current appeal is due to start; and that an application for transfer would require Mr Megrahi to abandon the appeal.

The mysterious premature visit of an unknown UK Officer's to Malta in 1989.
ReplyDeleteAt the trial in Kamp van Zeist was revealed that an unknown UK Officer was in July or August 1989, before Malta had granted international legal assistance to Britain in Malta. His investigations were in relation with the recovery of a babygro which could be related back to the island of Malta.
MEBO's inqueries show that this UK Officer visited the Yorkie Clothing Company in Malta. After their examination of a piece of a remnant from a Yorkie troucer (allegedly found in Lockerbie) he was told that 20 pairs of such troucers had been delivered on the 18th of Novermber 1988 to the boutique "Mary's House". (Prod. delivery note 424)
If the unknown officer had visited Anthony und Paul Gauci before is at the moment unknown. Anyway afterwards the officer visited the whole sale company "Big Ben" with a blue remnant. This company said to have delivered such blue babygrows (from the company PVC) to Mary's House on the 22th of September 1988. (Label 439, Invoice Prod. 488) Paul Gauci was Managing Director of "Big Ben" at that time !
With great probability the unknown UK officer had covertly contacted the Gauci brothers to prepare the ground for the Gauci brothers collaboration in the "Lockerbie affair, prior the also very questionable interrogation of Police Officer Henry Woods Bell between September 1 - 8, 1989".
Excerpt from the book Scotbom: Evidence and the Lockerbie Investigation by US Task Force and FBI Special Agent Richard A. Marquise :
"By late August 1989, RARDE had identified a number of "category one" items which they opined had been in or near the primary cause of the explosion. These items included the baby's romper suit, some Yorkie brand trousers, a cardigan sweater, a herringbone patterned sport jacker and a pajama top.
Little information had been received from the intelligence community. While no one gave it much consideration at the time, no intelligence agency played an active role in this conference or the earlier one in Scotland".
In none of the court protocols the name of the unknown officer is mentioned and he question remains open: Was this unknown officer an agent of an intelligence agency?

Well put.

A further proof that the sale of dresses in Anhony Gauci "Mary's House" took undoubtedly place on Wednesday, 23th of November 1988 by a supposedly Libyan buyer:
ReplyDeleteGauci told Bollier, that the 2 pieces of pyjamas, label "John Mallia", were the last two pyjamas he had sold to a Libyan in his shop. On the other day, the 24th of November 1988, he ordered at the company "John Mallia" additionally 8 pieces of the same pyjamas. The 8 pyjamas were delivered on the 25th of November 1988 with the calculation/delivery note, dated 25th of November 1988 to Gauci' s Mary' s House at Sliema Malta. Prod. 477-1.
The day after Wednesday, December 7, December 8, 1988 was an official public holiday (Immaculate Conception Day) and the "John
Mallia" company was closed.
But the day after November 23, November 24, 1988 was not an official public holiday, the company "John Mallia" was open.
MEBO:
Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi was not in Malta on Wednesday, 23th of November 1988, thus Mr. Megrahi is definetely not the buyer of the dresses !
