Sources close to Blackwater and its secretive owner Erik Prince claim that the embattled head of the world's most infamous mercenary firm is planning to move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Middle Eastern nation, a major hub for the US war industry, has no extradition treaty with the United States. In April, five of Prince's top deputies were hit with a fifteen-count indictment by a federal grand jury on conspiracy, weapons and obstruction of justice charges. Among those indicted were Prince's longtime number-two man, former Blackwater president Gary Jackson, former vice presidents William Matthews and Ana Bundy and Prince's former legal counsel Andrew Howell.I assume that his lawyers have looked into whether the UAE is a signatory nation to the International Criminal Court, which is why he is reportedly planning to move there. Presumably he can continue to make big donations to the party of Hoover from the UAE. Whether he has thought about if it is a good idea for the president of a company which earned its reputation from slaughtering women and children in a Muslim nation to flee to a nominally Islamic nation is another question.

While Prince has not personally been charged with any crimes, federal investigators and several Congressional committees clearly have his company and inner circle in their sights. The Nation learned of Prince's alleged plans to move to the UAE from three separate sources.
Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out, Erik.
They don't extradite to US.
ReplyDeleteThat's their secret draw.

And, of course, he can make the deals for his black ops companies from anywhere.
Thanks for following this.
