US: Atiku Abubakar In $40 Million Money-Laundering

Feb 3, 2010 · A United States Senate report has accused Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former Vice-President, of laundering over $40 million in suspicious funds into the United States between 2000 and 2008. And his partner in the lucrative effort was Jennifer Douglas, his fourth wife.

Atiku Abubakar and William Jefferson

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP)
A formerLouisiana congressman who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman for bribery charges.

William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans for nearly 20 years, was convicted in August of taking roughly $500,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for using his influence to broker business deals in Africa.

The sentence was still far less than the nearly 30 years prosecutors had sought.

Agents investigating the case found $90,000 wrapped in foil and hidden in boxes of frozen pie crusts in his freezer.

"Public corruption is a cancer on the body politic," said Ellis, who lamented that so many other congressmen have been convicted on similar charges. "There must be some sort of greed virus that attacks those in power."

The investigation started in March 2005. In August of that year, FBI agents searched Jefferson's Washington home and found the cash. Prosecutors said he had planned to use the money to pay a bribe to the then vice- president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, to secure a multimillion-dollar telecommunication deal
there.

The money ended up in the freezer after a disgruntled businesswoman, Lori Mody, agreed to wear a wire after telling the FBI she had been cheated out of $3.5 million in deals brokered by Jefferson. The jury saw videotape of Mody handing over a suitcase filled with $100,000 cash outside an Arlington hotel. Most of that money was recovered from the freezer.

The defense argued that Jefferson was acting as a private business consultant in brokering the deals and his actions did not constitute bribery.

So why Buhari and EFCC did get Atiku arrest same as Dasuki or they are not aware of this looted money by former VP?

So I keep N1m in my house and hope to give you so that you can push a post to front page, does that mean you are corrupt?

We have heard of Abacha loots, how Obasanjo had nothing when he came out of prison in 1999, yet a billionaire today

Have you seen corrupt people investing their money in Nigeria? No cos it's bad money

But we can point to many Atiku investments which were flourishing even before the present looting in democracy started
.

If Atiku was corrupt don't you think EFCC would not take over his various properties and investments ?

Do u see Dasuki running for president? Many corrupt people were not arrested by EFCC but they are not running for president. Atiku is.
