SPECIAL REPORT. Scaramella-Berezovsky link to World Trade Center security
firm emerges in Italian law enforcement investigation.
Mario Scaramella, the
Italian interlocutor for the poisoned Alexander Litvinenko and Russian-Israeli
media/mobster tycoon Boris Berezovsky, is now under investigation by prosecutors
in Rome, Naples, and Bologna for international arms smuggling, divulging
official judicial secrets, conspiracy, international trafficking in radioactive
materials, and the dumping of hazardous waste through unauthorized third
parties. Scaramella was arrested last month by Italian police and his offices
have been searched by police several times.
The Italian media is
reporting on transcripts of phone conversations between Scaramella and two
former U.S. intelligence officers. One conversation, reported in La
Repubblica, is a January 25, 2006 conversation between Scaramella and a
mysterious ex-CIA agent from California who uses the name "Perry." In the
conversation, Scaramella stresses to Perry that his activities are not "just my
activity, but the activity of the organization.' It is becoming clear that the
:organization" to which Scaramella is referring is a private and global
intelligence organization involving former members of the KGB and Russian
Federal Security Bureau (like Litvinenko), private military and intelligence
companies, and ex-CIA and British intelligence officers. Scaramella discussed
the political dirty “trick” they are preparing for Italian center-left leader
Romano Prodi and it is clear from the conversation that Perry gives Scaramella
his orders, though politely. When Scaramella goes into a tangent on his
international activities, Perry merely replies, 'You must work on the Italian
politics.' When Scaramella presents a list of the possible future options open
to him, Perry very curtly suggests, “You could be part of the cabinet of the
minister.” But Scaramella is pessimistic when he states, “most probably Prodi
will win, even if we will launch our attack…"
The "attack" is key to the
conversation. WMR was the first media outlet to suggest that the
Scaramella-Litvinenko affair was a dirty bomb plot gone bad and that the
intelligence services of Russian President Vladimir Putin may have actually
derailed the plot.
Scaramella relates to Perry
his conversation with then-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, in which he asked
the right-wing and now-indicted politician for a job, preferably at NATO or the
United Nations. Scaramella claims that he was first offered a seat in the
Italian parliament but declined because he feared a rough political campaign
against him after he had made public his "KGB claims" against Prodi and that he
"preferred a post outside Italy in an international organization."
The Italian paper
Corriere della Sera is also reporting on a telephone conversation between
Scaramella and Paolo Guzzanti, the Miktrokhin Committee's chairman on 28 January
2006, three days after the phone conversation between Perry and Scaramella that
Romani Prodi was "cultivated by the KGB" and cited ex-KGB Colonel Oleg
Gordievsky as his source. Guzzanti responds, "in that case he is our man?"
"Yes," replies Scaramella's." "That's enough. I don't want to know anything
else", Guzzanti replies.
It has also been revealed
that while talking to Perry, Scaramella declared that he had obtained taped
testimony against Prodi from Gordievski and that the testimony was given in the
presence of "Lou Palumbo," who has now been identified as a 22-year veteran of
the CIA. Gordievski, who is under the protection of the British intelligence
services, has since denounced Scaramella as a fraud. It is also clear that
Scaramella's mission was to seek out prominent Russian exiles and defectors in
order to trick them into brining false charges against leftist politicians like
Prodi.
Previously, WMR reported
that Scaramella was linked by Italian investigators to Filippo Marino, who is
involved in the security business and founded the Special Research Monitoring
Center (SRMC), claims he was a member of the elite Italian Army 131st Regiment
and member of an Italian law enforcement organized crime task force targeting
the mob in Naples. One of Marino's companies, Securitydirector LLC, is
registered at P.O. Box 190487, Miami Beach, FL 33119-0487. According to La
Stampa, a link has now been discovered between Marino and Hallandale,
Florida-based Incident Management Group (IMG). Marino has been a senior
consultant for IMG, according to La Stampa. IMG's Managing Partner is
none other than Louis F. Palumbo, Scaramella's task master in the reported
attempt to tarnish Prodi. Palumbo's bio at the IMG website states that in 1977,
he founded the security consulting firm Ackerman & Palumbo. The Association of
Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) lists a Louis F. Palumbo at 7980 N. Biscayne
Point Cir., Miami Beach, FL 33141.
Palumbo's partners at IMG
include Daniel Donohue, a former CIA clandestine services agent in Southeast
Asia and India; Harley Stock, a "forensic hypnosis" expert with the FBI and US
Secret Service; and, perhaps most intriguingly, Christopher Hagon, a 21-year
veteran of the London Metropolitan Police or "Scotland Yard."
Hagon told La Stampa
that Marino did work as a consultant for IMG as a consultant. In fact, IMG's
consultant profiles list Marino as:
"FILIPPO MARINO, SENIOR
CONSULTANT, has 10 years of international experience in the areas of security
and environmental crime prevention. Marino has worked on a variety of
security-related assignments ranging from investigative support of judicial
authorities to personal awareness training and private consulting worldwide. He
is one of the founders of Special Research Monitoring Center (SRMC) and a
founding member of the Permanent Intergovernmental Conference for Environmental
Crime Prevention. He is currently Director of Security & Operations, for the
SRMC. Marino served as an officer of the prestigious 131st Regiment of the
Italian Army, and is an inspector for a law-enforcement, environmental task
force against organized crime in Naples, Italy. He holds a magna cum laude B. A.
in Behavioral Sciences from San Jose State University, and has obtained multiple
certifications in security and protection services. He speaks fluent Italian and
German."
Note that Marino's links to
Scaramella's ECPP is also cited above. Also of interest is the listing of a
Curtis Perry as an IMG consultant:
"CURTIS PERRY, SENIOR
CONSULTANT, has 27 years experience in government and private sector security.
He served for ten years in the CIA and was stationed throughout the Far East.
Mr. Perry is fluent in several Chinese dialects and has access to numerous
government agencies in the Philippines and throughout Southeast Asia. Previously
he was employed as a Senior Consultant by the security firm of Ackerman &
Palumbo and was a Managing Director for Kroll Associates in Manila from 1992
-1996. Mr. Perry has undertaken numerous investigations for Corporate America –
including those involving kidnappings, extortions and product contaminations –
in the Far East and Australia."
Another IMG consultant is
Robert Wager, whose bio claims he manages security for the US Embassy in Bogota,
Colombia. Scaramella claims to have also worked in Bogota. The bio of another
IMG consultant, Ned Timmons, states, "for two years Timmons directed an
international import/export corporation operating undercover in Colombia,
Venezuela, Peru and Central America [and] ... He currently serves as a
consultant to the U.S. and Cayman Governments on drug trafficking matters."
There is yet another Colombian link, "John Stabler, Senior Consultant, has 17
years experience in security management and consulting profession, with 13 years
of specialization in Colombia. He has designed security for plantations, mines,
pipelines, piers and airfields in hostile locations in Colombia, Panama, Ecuador
and Chile."
Also of interest is another
"environmental" link that ties the various Scaramella-Litvinenko players under
the cover of an international environmental network. An SEC EDGAR search
revealed a stockholders' agreement between Harrison-Kroll Environmental
Services, Inc. of Louisiana and Palumbo Partners, a Delaware corporation dated
December 31, 1992, in which Kroll acquired Palumbo Partners. A Google search
also revealed that former Secret Service Presidential Protective Division agent
Jim Holt served as Training Director for Ackerman & Palumbo and was "one of the
original directors and consultant partners with Palumbo Partners, Inc., Miami."
An office of Harrison-Kroll Environmental Services is listed at 300 S. Grand
Avenue, Suite 1300, Los Angeles, CA 90071.
Kroll Associates is an
enigmatic "security services" company which has close links to the CIA. Not only
is Kroll active in private military contracting in Iraq but it has long been
associated with dubious U.S. intelligence activities at home and abroad.
According to a knowledgeable source, Jules Kroll, who founded Kroll Associates
in 1972 obtained needed funding for his firm from Foothill Capital in the 1980s.
Foothill was deeply enmeshed in the Savings & Loan collapses in the 1980s but
salvaged itself to become a part of Wells Fargo Bank. Kroll, who helped Curtis
Publishing (renamed Cadence Industries after a merger) cut waste in the 1970s
(and pilfer the company's pension fund in the process), got his first big break
when he helped locate the stolen millions of Philippine ex-President Ferdinand
Marcos (he would later go after the off-shore bank accounts of Haiti's
Jean-Claude Duvalier and Iraq's Saddam Hussein).
According to our
well-placed source, Ray Steffans (aka diStefano of New Jersey), Jewish mobster
Gideon Chern, and Eddie Baker of Vanguard Petroleum met in Houston in September
1983 to discuss, among other items, funding for Kroll. In December 1977, Bernard
Taubenfeld, Gideon Chern and Shalom Goldburd, officials of B'nai Torah Institute
affiliate, Nutrition for Youth, were convicted of defrauding the government by
submitting bills for food that was never served to poor children in the New York
City summer lunch program. Chern's other organized crime activity in the 1980s
reportedly had an important protector -- former US Attorney for the Southern
District of New York Rudolph Giuliani. The former New York Mayor and prospective
GOP presidential candidate reportedly suppressed a wealth of evidence against
Chern.

Litvinenko-Scaramella
case now linked to World Trade Center security firm.
Two days after the Houston
meeting, a Jaguar supposedly with the body of Baker in it was found charred
outside of Houston. A fire investigator later revealed that no body was found in
the car at the time of the fire. Kroll, after Enron's bankruptcy, purchased
Zolfo-Cooper, and thus owned Zolfo-Cooper's Steven Cooper, the attorney
appointed by New York bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez to run Enron in
bankruptcy. In July 2004, Marsh-McLennan bought Kroll and Associates.
Marsh-McLennan is run by Jeffrey Greenberg, son of Maurice (Hank) Greenberg of
AIG. Chase and Citibank notes from Kenneth Lay/Enron were purchased in May 2001
by AIG and the MacArthur Foundation.
Kroll was responsible for
the security of the World Trade Center on 9/11. The firm had hired FBI top
counter-terrorism agent John O'Neill as Director of World Trade Center security
upon his retirement from the FBI. O'Neill died in the 9/11 attacks. Kroll also
markets Identity Theft Shield, the first time Kroll has offered its services to
individuals as opposed to governments and companies. As of June 30, 2006, Kroll
had amassed over 560,000 customers for its Identity Theft Shield program.
The Chern link brings us back to the Russian-Israeli Mafia connections of
Scaramella and company. Berezovsky's friend, former Yukos co-owner Leonid
Nevzlin, a Russian-Jewish oligarch and former President of the Russian Jewish
Congress who now lives in Tel Aviv and is wanted by Russia for tax evasion and
corruption. As the Democrats prepare to assume control of Congress, Nevzlin is
now in the United States, protected by the FBI from arrest based on
previously-issued Russian and Interpol arrest warrants. This is not Nezvlin's
first visit to the United States. In the summer of 2005, he appeared before the
US Congress' Helsinki Committee to criticize the government of Vladimir Putin.
Nevzlin's sponsors were incoming House International Relations Committee
chairman Tom Lantos (D-CA) and New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith. Nevzlin used the
hearing to argue for the expulsion of Russia from the G-8. Another Nevzlin
supporter is Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, another prospective GOP
presidential candidate.
In a further example of the
dubious activities of the Arlington, Virginia-based Fellowship Foundation,
dubbed the "Christian Mafia" by many local residents, two of Nevzlin's wanted
Yukos fellow shareholders, oligarchs Mikhail Brudno and Vladimir Dubov, who were
indicted in Russia on charges similar to those brought against jailed Yukos
former chairman Mikhail Khodorkovsky, were invited the have breakfast with
President George W. Bush at the February 5, 2005 "National Prayer Breakfast."
The annual Prayer Breakfast contrivance of the Fellowship Foundation is a ruse
designed to provide a series of top level intelligence and organized crime
meetings under the sanctioning smile of "Jesus." The person who invited Brudno,
Dubov, and the jailed Khodorkovsky to the prayer breakfast was Lantos, whose
wife, daughter, and son-in-law are devout Mormons. Brudno and Dubov, citizens of
Israel, were assured by the FBI that it would ignore the Interpol and Russian
arrest warrants, just as the FBI is ignoring the arrest warrant for Nevzlin, who
is now in the United States, most likely with the acquiescence of Lantos.
Lantos, who has his own connections with mob-run unions operating at San
Francisco International Airport, does not seem to mind the fact that Nevzlin has
been under investigation by Israeli police for illegally laundering $500 million
through a Tel Aviv branch of Bank Hapoalim, Israel's largest bank. Nevzlin also
took over assets of Khodorkovsky's collapsed bank, Menatep, which was also
linked to money laundering involving the Bank of New York. Former Soviet
President Mikhail Gorbachev supports Putin's attempt to bring the
Russian-Israeli oligarchs to justice. He told Britain's Sunday Times that
it is believed that the exiled oligarchs have hidden away $1 trillion.
Nevzlin's and Berezovsky's
activities with Litvinenko are the tip of a huge iceberg of private intelligence
intrigue that involves a number of wanted Russian exiles, including Nevzlin,
Berezovsky, ex-Russian media magnate Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Chernoy, Roman
Abramovitch, and Chechen "Foreign Minister" Akhmed Zakayev. Berezovsky's [and
Litvinenko's] spokesman, Russian exile Alex Goldfarb, freely operates out of
both London and New York. All are involved in various efforts to destabilize
Russia with the help of neo-cons in the Bush administration and the government
of Israel. However, the Israel Lobby's pressure on the U.S. media, most notably
the Associated Press, New York Times, and Washington Post, ensures
that the Russian exiles' links to Israel and organized crime are studiously
ignored.

Alexander Litvinenko
not the only Russian poisoned by Russian-Israeli mafia gangsters.
In another full circle
between Tel Aviv and Italy, Menatep's former chief for investment management
Alexei Globuvich said, after his arrest last Spring in Italy, that Nevzlin may
have tried to poison him and his family after mercury was found in his office,
home, and car. Globuvich said he was a threat because he knew where Yukos and
Menatep assets were located. Shortly thereafter, a Scotland Yard officer handed
over to the British security firm ISC Global plans by the British government to
extradite a number of Russian-Israeli exiles in Britain to Russia. ISC Global
had been part of Menatep and Nevzlin was one of its chief customers. The London
offices of ISC Global, now known as RISC Management, were visited in November
2006 by Litvinenko and Russian businessmen Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun and
traces of polonium-210 were discovered there. According to the Sunday Times
of London, Russian police are also investigating whether the poisoning of
Litvinenko and the attempted poisoning of Globuvich are connected to the
radiation poisoning death two years ago of Roman Tsepov, a former bodyguard of
Putin when he was deputy Mayor of St. Petersburg. Tsepov was involved in the
Russian government's tracking of Yukos assets. Also of interest are connections
to the June 2004 assassination of Forbes Russian edition editor-in-chief
Paul Klebnikov, a U.S. citizen who wrote a damaging expose of Berezovsky. Three
Chechen contract killers were charged in Klebnikov's murder. The same
Russian-Israeli mob ring is also being looked at in the investigation of the
assassination of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya of Novaya Gazeta
as a way to embarrass Putin.

Forbes Russian edition
editor Paul Klebnikov murdered in 2004 by Chechen contract killers.
Russian-Israeli tycoon Boris Berezovsky claims to be the godfather of the
Chechen rebellion. Klebnikov wrote an anti-Berezovsky book.
The connection of Nevzlin
to the polonium and the receipt of classified British secrets is more of a
reason for Russia's Prosecutor General's office to seek his extradition -- but
the FBI refuses to cooperate due to the orders coming from people like Lantos,
McCain, FBI Director Robert Mueller, and others who do the bidding of the
Russian-Israeli mob and their Italian mafiosi underlings.
The Russian
Prosecutor-General's office has stated, "“A version is being looked at those who
ordered these crimes [polonium poisoning, etc.] could be the same people who are
on an international wanted list for serious and very serious crimes, one of whom
is ... Leonid Nevzlin."
The connections now
discovered by Italian and Russian investigators between the
Russian-Israeli-Italian-British-US private intelligence network of former
intelligence agents and billionaire mobsters suggest that the "serious crimes"
committed may be more than the poisoning of Litvinenko and others with
radioactive materials. The investigators are wise to pursue the links to U.S.
security firms and former CIA personnel involved in pre-9/11 protection
functions. The FBI cannot or will not investigate the actual perpetrators of
9/11. However, the Italian and Russian law enforcement professionals are
beginning to get very close. It is a shame that American law enforcement is not
interested in pursuing real leads in the biggest crime in American history.
