Закученото положение с Нигерия е вече от десетина години... Разследвания, разнищвания... Хванаха още един! Третият САЩ "дипломат", от 40 години, и вторият заведен в съд. Не че другите дипломати са по-морални, а просто в тези неща мръсните гащи се крият и покриват. (Писал съм хайдушки изказвания по този въпрос, в този клуб, преди време.)
Преди няколко години имаше интерес и към мътилките по САЩ дипломати в България... Интересно, кой ли ще изохка? И кога? Аз лично обичам американската мащабност, един вид мечтая си за пандизчийски автобус, федерален, да го напълнят до последната седалка! Защото са дипломати, все пак, навикнали са на по-фин живот, белезниците да са пластмасови, не метални. И националното знаме да се вее, по едно парче във всеки ъгъл на пандизчийския автобус, с голямо знаме зад шофьора. Да представяме национална гордост пред външния свят, бе!
Ха четете за кеф!
DEA agent charged in U.S. visa
scheme

The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- A federal drug agent fraudulently arranged U.S. visas for
four Nigerians while working for the American government in the African
nation, authorities said Thursday.
Eric Newton, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration,
was a deputy country attache at the DEA's office in Lagos, Nigeria, in July
1999 when he referred the Nigerian citizens for U.S. visas, said Mary Jo
White, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
According to a complaint, Newton, 40, told the State Department that the
applicants were agents of the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency and
were being sent to Virginia for training at DEA expense.
Based on this false information, the visas were granted. Two of the
Nigerians told U.S. investigators they had each paid $4,000 for help in
obtaining the documents.
A third Nigerian who received a visa was stopped at Detroit Metropolitan
Airport and told inspectors for the Immigration and Naturalization Service
that he also had paid that amount. He was not allowed to enter the
country.
It was unclear what became of the fourth Nigerian.
Newton is charged with visa fraud and making false statements in an
alleged scheme to provide U.S. visas to foreign nationals. He is on
administrative leave from the DEA.
If convicted, he would face a maximum of five years in prison on each of
two false-statement counts and 10 years on a visa fraud count, plus a
$250,000 fine or twice the gross gain or loss resulting from the offense.
A telephone call to a spokesman for the DEA was not immediately
returned.
