Alessandro Santi, hoping to have received some kind of relief from this court hearing, was once again thrown into total disappointment and further stress of not knowing anything for nearly one month, until the next scheduled court hearing.
The lawyers acting for Alessandro Santi could see the anger in the judge’s expressions and mode of speech. The judge was not amused by the fact that Yamaguchi and Watanabe had, what appeared to be, deliberately failed to attend the hearing, which in itself is “Contempt of Court”, but at the same time acknowledging the fact that both Yamaguchi and Watanabe held the right to be given the benefit of the doubt, hence the adjournment.
If they did actually turn up at the court hearing now scheduled for October 10th 2010, any sentence given would be automatically extended to include the “Contempt of Court” by Yamaguchi and Watanabe for their failure to turn up for the hearing on September 16th without written request for an adjournment, or, without good reason.
Although the judge had accommodated the comments of the previous court appointed lawyer that these two Japanese men had left the country and would not be seen or heard from again, to prevent any questioning, at any later date, concerning the conduct of the court and judge, held no option but to adjourn the case and allow the prosecution and deputy duty court lawyer, in conjunction with various Government departments, to ascertain whether these two Japanese men would, or did, actually intend to turn up at the next hearing voluntarily.
Alessandro Santi was beside himself not knowing what to do under the circumstances and even more hatred of Yamaguchi and Watanabe began to show.
He requested his lawyers to discuss matters with the prosecution to see if anything could be done because he felt he could not continue in this manner, not knowing what was going to happen and his life being held in suspension as such.
During the 24 days from the time of the adjourned hearing on September 16th 2010 to the date of the next hearing, being 12th October 2010, Alessandro Santi’s lawyers were in constant communication with the prosecution lawyers. No one knows what was discussed within these communications and it is more than possible that no one ever will, except for the lawyers themselves. Alessandro Santi’s case was falling apart and they knew it because there was no support from Yamaguchi or Watanabe to defensively argue their case in court which in itself would have supported Alessandro Santi with his defense.
The only thing that Alessandro Santi had in his hands was a Ninety Three (93) page Affidavit prepared by a specialist of 20 years which stated that the “Special” Financial Instruments were genuine, describing simple tests that the court or police could undertake to prove genuineness of the Special Financial Instruments. At the same time, further sections of the Affidavit explained that Yamaguchi and Watanabe should not at any time be in possession of them, and the fact that they were clearly indicated that the Special Financial Instruments were “Stolen” by persons unknown, from depositories in the Philippines containing assets of the Combined International Collateral Accounts of the Global Debt Facility.
The Affidavit was written and prepared under the regulations surrounding “Classified Material” because of the “Secrecy” factor that surrounded these Special Financial Instruments. However, because of that fact, the Lawyers for Alessandro Santi and the prosecution lawyers decided not to present the Affidavit to the court as evidence.
The Affidavit started with:
THE CONTENT OF THIS MY AFFIDAVIT, WHETHER IN PART OR FULL, CONTAINS A DEGREE OF “SECRET” INFORMATION WHEREBY THIS AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE CONSIDERED AND CONSTRUED AS A “CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT” UNDER INTERNATIONAL / UN SECURITY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL 3 – 5. THIS AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE RESTRICTED IN BOTH CIRCULATION AND VIEWING OF SAME TO THE HONOURABLE JUDGE, THE CHIEF PROSECUTING LAWYER, AND THE CHIEF DEFENSE LAWYER. ALL PERSONS VIEWING THIS AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE AFOREMENTIONED SECURITY LEVEL 3 – 5, WHEREBY IT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED FOR YOUR ADHERENCE TO SAID “SECURITY CLASSIFICATION” AND AVOID, AT ALL TIMES NOW AND AT ANY FUTURE DATE, ANY POSSIBLE BREACH OF SAME.
FURTHERMORE, NO COPIES OF THIS AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE MADE, TRANSMITTED, DISSEMINATED, OR OTHERWISE, AT ANY TIME NOW OR IN THE FUTURE WHEREBY IT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED THAT THIS DOCUMENT REMAIN SEALED ON COURT FILES FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST THIRTY (30) YEARS AS PROVIDED FOR WITHIN THE TERMS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED “CLASSIFICATION”.
The content of the Affidavit lead to the fact that the charges brought against Yamaguchi, Watanabe, and Alessandro Santi were in fact incorrect as the Special Financial Instruments were not in fact Fake or Fraudulent Financial Instruments as claimed by the police and supported by the comments from the Intelligence Agency Field Office inside the American Embassy in Rome, Italy. The case against the three defendants, Yamaguchi, Watanabe, and Alessandro Santi should have really been dismissed under “No case to answer”. Instead the Affidavit was ignored and discarded to prevent the possibility of further embarrassment of the Italian police, prosecutor’s office and the court, to the detriment of the Defendants.
The applicable section of the Affidavit is stated below:
There are of course numerous persons / parties who claim to know, or claim to be able to make a professional assessment of such certificates, but who are in fact under orders to deny these certificates based upon the “Secrecy” factor that surround and encompasses the very subject of the Collateral Accounts and the various types of Assets contained within the Collateral Accounts.
Amongst those persons / parties referred to within the above paragraph are “Bankers”, usually senior Management level, engaged by the World’s top banks. “Agency Personnel” (in particular the American Secret Service - CIA) who are stationed in a Country where a problem of these certificates arises, “Specialist personnel” employed by the Nation’s Central Bank, Treasury, or even an Academic / Professor at a specialist university, or persons involved in the printing Bank Notes and Government Bonds etc.
8.1 Intelligence Agency personnel, whether the American CIA, the UK MI6, Japanese SIS, or any other Intelligence Agency personnel working from the “Station Office” of such Intelligence Agencies within their Embassy located within the Country (In this case - Italy) are under strict orders both from H.Q. at Langley and the US Treasury, to deny such Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, at all times and for all purposes, etc for the purpose of maintaining the “Secrecy” factor that surrounds these issues. There is no one (stated respectfully towards them based upon their own demanding work) within any of the Intelligence Agencies that hold the authority, knowledge, or experience in these matters to be able to provide a meaningful and accurate statement of fact to any Court of Law anywhere in the World in respect of these Certificates, Instruments, Bonds.
Such persons, irrespective of their status, are NOT authorized to conduct, state, imply, or otherwise, any form of verification of such Instruments, Certificates, Bonds, etc. whereby such a verification of said Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, although appearing to be undertaken with the best of intent, would strictly be based upon the orders they are to follow and not the truth, which in turn usually leads to a miscarriage of justice.
8.2 Specialists from the Country’s Central Bank, Treasury, or persons of “Senior” rank engaged by a National Bank Note Printing Company are, likewise, lacking in knowledge, experience, and authority, in respect of such Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, whereby any verification evidence provided by them would be based upon their own perception, and / or, perceptions of what information they have obtained from other unauthorized sources / persons, institutions, reports, etc.
Such persons, irrespective of their status, are NOT authorized to conduct, state, imply, or otherwise, any form of verification of such Instruments, Certificates, Bonds, etc. whereby such verification evidence provided by these persons would lead to a miscarriage of justice.
8.3 Academics, although highly regarded for their knowledge within various subjects, it can clearly and unreservedly stated that such educational Academics would hold very little, if any, knowledge or experience with these Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, whereby any verification evidence provided by them would be based upon their own perception, and / or, perceptions of what information they have obtained from other unauthorized sources / persons, institutions, reports, etc.
Such persons, irrespective of their status, are NOT authorized to conduct, state, imply, or otherwise, any form of verification of such Instruments, Certificates, Bonds, etc. whereby such verification evidence provided by these persons would lead to a miscarriage of justice.
The Affidavit continues, whereby sections of this have been sanitized to prevent such knowledge from becoming public:
9.3 To assist the Honourable Court, and the Honourable Judge in this particular case, there is a simple method that can determine the genuineness and authenticity of the Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, that are the subject of this criminal court case, for which I explain below:-
a). All such Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, are printed on “Security Paper” which holds specific characteristics.
b). Using a High Quality Laser Colour Copier (Note: High Quality is necessary because of the high degree of light intensity required), all Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, should be copied and printed out.
c). The high degree of light intensity penetrates the top micro layer of paper, revealing a different colour below, which actually contains the printed element of the Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc.
The Following results should be clearly visible and observed:-
The FRN’s (Federal Reserve Notes) are normally a slightly dirty Magnolia colour, or slightly dirty beige colour. When scanned with a High Quality Commercial Laser Copier the copy Notes become a Greeny yellow in colour.
On a commercial quality Inkjet scanner the Notes become yellow in colour.
Depending upon the type of “Security Paper” used and the different series of these Certificates, the colours of the Certificate shown on a High Quality Commercial Laser Scanner may be slightly different.
The Kennedy Bonds are normally a Grey / Green (Dark border and picture, and Light centre panels) colour on the Front, and a light Grey / Green on the Back with white images and Four (4) dark Green numbers (1) in the corners.
When scanned with a High Quality Commercial Laser Copier the Bonds (Front) reveal a Dark Grey Border and Light Green image of the face of President Kennedy within the Left Hand Panel embedded in “waved” lines, together with waved lines in the Right Hand Panel consisting of One (1) set of wide lines, then a set of narrow lines, followed by a set of wide lines, then another set of narrow lines, followed by a set of wide lines, diagonally from the top left hand corner of the right hand panel to the bottom right hand corner of the right hand panel.
There will be a vertical green line shown on the front of the Bond stretching from the top edge of the paper to the bottom edge of the paper.
The Back reveals a darker Green colouration with the Clouds in the right hand panel showing a mauve colour in part, as with the Planet picture in the left hand panel. Careful observation to the back of the Bond will reveal a blue circular pattern in the centre (more prominent across the left hand picture of a planet), which is the picture as shown on the front of the note, of President Kennedy.
The Japanese 57 Series Bonds. Dependent upon the specific serial numbers, there are Two (2) different types of “Security Paper” used for these Bonds.
One type, on normal appearance, the Front of the Bond is Light Green / Grey on the edges with a Dark Green / Grey border and light dirty yellow centre panel. The Rear of the Bond is Light Green / Grey carrying a multiple “Square Box” pattern with the edges of the boxes in the darker Green / Grey colour.
When scanned on a High Quality Commercial Laser Scanner, the Front of the Bond are a Light Yellow in colour with a Black border, and the centre area is a slightly darker yellow with two patterns of a very pale yellow left and right of the centre. The Back of the Bond is a Yellowy Green in colour.
On the second type of “Security Paper” the Front edges are of a dark Magnolia colour with a Brown border, with the centre panel tinted with Green on the left and right sides of the panel and a Triple Flower formation in Green in the centre.
When scanned with a high quality Commercial Laser Scanner the Front is distinctly Yellow with a Red / Brown border, and only slightly visible are the central flower patterns in a very pale yellow.
On the Back it is distinctly a Dark Magnolia colour with no patterns or apparent watermarks.
When scanned the colour is distinctly yellow.
9.4 I respectfully point out to the Honourable Court and Honourable Judge that the above methods of determining authenticity of any Certificate, Instruments, Bond, etc, is one used for initial authentication of such Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc. Should there be any doubts at all following the initial authentication, then reference is made to the Library Copies, and the “High Tech” equipment of the applicable National Authority as referred to in Section 9.1 above.
Such methods, as utilized, are Ninety Five percent (95%) accurate, leaving the other Five percent (5%) questionable and based upon the Box / Case Serial Numbers and Lock Numbers which are not always available, especially when stolen from the depository, as usually such Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc are in loose form away from their particular cases / boxes, because they can be carried in a briefcase or similar, whereas the actual cases / boxes these are normally contained in are substantial in size, heavy duty, fire retardant and bullet proof box, whereby no one whose intent was unlawful would be foolish enough to attempt to carry such boxes / cases containing such Certificates, Instruments, Bonds, etc, across Borders or through any National Customs Control.
The above information alone is sufficient to request the dismissal of the charges based upon such charges being in possession of Fake or Fraudulent Financial Instruments, with the intent to defraud.
What an embarrassment for the Police, the Prosecutor’s office and the court, which would have been highly evident had a dismissal of charges been the eventual outcome, especially after the Italian authorities had expended substantial costs on the case which is paid for by the Italian tax payer.
