La historia de los sellos Europa

hoy en www.stamp-scandal.com

Gracias, Sr. Justiciero (JCMM) por contarnos su versión de los hechos sobre un asunto en el que usted ha intervenido y conoce de primera mano.
Pero, ¿no debería haber dejado claro cuál de las dos compañías ha sido la destinataria final de esos sellos? ¿Por qué mezcla siempre a las dos compañías, como si de la misma se tratase? Es que creo que ha redactado el artículo de tal manera que se presta a confusión, no el titular de su post en este foro.

" Mozambique Corruption
The rampant corruption in the Mozambique Postal Authority, led by Drª. Maria Angelica Dimas has been a long-running saga, linked to much of the unmitigated chicanery current throughout the philatelic world. The story we have uncovered begins with the previous incumbent of the Director of Post Office, Dr Pedro Lopes Murima. He granted a contract to Marino Montero International philatelic agency to produce stamps on behalf of the Mozambique Post Office. The contract was for the production of stamps on the theme of the History of the XXI Century. In 2004, Sorbourne Limited, trading as Filatelia International, the company belonging to George Katz, approached Marino Montero International to allow them to produce a commemorative issue, under the terms of their contract, for the Europa 50th Anniversary. The contract stipulated that the total issue for each stamp would be 180,000 of which 108,000 would be released on the open market, and 5,000 souvenir sheets of which 4,000 would be released on the open market. Marino Montero International were paid €20,000 on this basis. By March 2006, it was common knowledge in the philatelic world that Sorbourne Limited, trading as Filatelia International, had printed 500,000 of each stamp and 500,000 of each souvenir sheet. This criminal disregard for the terms of the contract was compounded by the printing of an additional unauthorised 500,000 imperf of each stamp and 500,000 imperf of each souvenir sheet. The sheer quantity of stamps produced beggars belief. Imperf versions of the stamps alone would account for 6,000,000 stamps. Those responsible for this travesty needed a way to make sure that no whiff of illegality surrounded these stamps.
Enter our old friends at the Michel Catalogue.
The influence of Sako Khatchikian made sure the stamps appeared in the 2006 issue of the Michel Catalogue, turning the original €20,000 investment into a catalogue value of €160,000,000. Sako Khatchikian's influence also ensured the appearance in the 2006 Michel Catalogue of
illegal stamps supposedly from Benin, along with many others that should not be there. On the 9th of May 2006, ironically the very date of the Europa 50th Anniversary, news of the AFINSA/Forum Filatelico scandal broke in Spain. Marino Montero International, acting as a responsible member of the philatelic community, attempted to ascertain whether the Europa 50th Anniversary stamps had been supplied to AFINSA/Forum Filatelico. After all, where could this huge quantity of stamps have gone? There aren't enough collectors in the world to absorb that many stamps.
George Katz responded by informing Marino Montero International that the stamps had been supplied to Jesus Sanchez, owner of Primadart S.A., in Switzerland, which did nothing to allay the fear that there was more involved than just printing a lot of stamps. It was fast becoming apparent that the scale of the financial irregularities involved in the AFINSA/Forum Filatelico scandal was breathtaking and a bland assurance that everything was alright was less than comforting.
In June, the situation became more complicated. Drª. Maria Angelica Dimas, the director of the Mozambique Post Office, sent a letter to
Armando Lapa, the Portugese sidekick of Algirdas Satas, declaring that the Europa 50th Anniversary stamps were illegal. Satas, the man responsible for the production of illegal stamps bearing the names of over 90 different countries, has a long running vendetta a

"... Where are the UPU? Where are ASCAT? We could ask the new president of ASCAT, Hans W. Hohenester, who has recently replaced that merry prankster, Carlos de Figueiredo, currently embroiled
in the investigation of the alleged embezzlement of the savings of 400,000 Spanish families through the AFINSA and Forum Filatelico organisations. Mr. Hohenester should be able to offer a great deal
of insight into this matter in his role as president of the company that runs the Michel Catalogue. We at Stamp Scandal consider the behaviour
of the Michel Catalogue a disgrace and call for Mr. Hohenester's immediate resignation from ASCAT. His probity is tainted and
he should step down. As for the UPU, once again corrupt African Post Office administrations use them as a tool for making money
from honest dealers and agents. The corrupt administrations take money for contracts, then issue declarations that the stamps produced are illegal. Then they take some more money and declare the stamps legal. The UPU just sits by, wrings its hands and lets them
do what they want. Mozambique has been cheated of millions of dollars of revenue by George Katz and his cronies. The agent has been cheated of legitimate income. Yet nobody does anything. We call on the President of Mozambique to follow the example of Montenegro and bring the full force of the law to bear on the miscreants in his Postal Administration. Show the world that there is one African country that will not put up with this corruption. Sack them or imprison them, but make a stand before it's too late ".

" An Apology.
We have received a letter from lawyers representing
a Mr Jesus Sanchez. You can see it here:
http://www.stamp-scandal.com/Sanchez/Lawyers%20letter/1418116_1.htm
We would like to offer an unconditional apology to Mr. Sanchez if he feels that we have confused him with the Alexandre Jesus Sanchez who controls the company Primadart S.A. and Hureges Holding Corporation. It is this Jesus Sanchez who we seek to expose in these pages. Unless any other of the many Jesus Sanchez are involved in a stamp scandal, they are not the subject of our interest. We would like to offer an apology to each and every one of the many thousands of Jesus Sanchez that exist in the world for any confusion that may have arisen, but they can rest assured it is only the Jesus Sanchez we have identified as the director of Primadart S.A. and Hureges Holding Corporation that we are referring to in these articles ".

" Mysterious Company
The authorities in Montenegro are very keen to track down a "mysterious company" called Hureges Holding Corporation in connection with their continuing investigation into the Europa 50th Anniversary issue scandal that has seen most of the Montenegrin Postal Authority officials prosecuted for corruption. See the original article in Republika on-line here ".

- AND DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
We deliver the facts on how an original price of €18,955 can be inflated to €81,000,000 face value. We have seen an invoice to Filatelia International, in England, for the origination of the Europa stamps
of St. Thomas and Prince. With the co-operation and collaboration of a catalogue - the Michel Catalogue run by Wolfgang Mayer for Schwaneberger Verlag GmbH of Munich,Germany - a magical transformation has happened. A mystical mathematical equation has been applied to the value of the stamps. This fabulous equation is:-
€18,955 origination price = €81,000,000 face value
€81,000,000 face value = €160,000,000 catalogue value
Now that is a return on investment! Not a genuine return, not a legitimate return, but if you're part of the conspiracy to defraud the
