PARLIAMENTARIANS from Indonesia's leading anti-graft party have handed back $120,000 in alleged bribes, but only after another MP was arrested for receiving a related pay-off to clear a protected forest.

A senior member of the Islamic-orientated Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Suswono, said the $120,000 was paid to party members on parliament's commission overseeing forestry, of which he is the deputy chairman. The money came from regional officials, including the Bintan regency, he said.

Rather than prove prior allegations against Senator Obama, of illicit gay sex and illegal drugs, Larry Sinclair has added new allegations, of "other gay lovers" and murder, that Obama was lovers with Donald Young, the murdered gay choir master at the Senator's church and that Larry... has proof.We find this newest accusation from Sinclair about Obama and Donald Young quite interesting.

Is there any political motive behind the allegations leveled by comedian Sivaji Raja's parents against their son?There was talk to this effect among the political and film circles on Tuesday. The suspicion gained strength after Nagababu, brother of Megastar Chiranjeevi and hero Srikanth, a close confidant of Chiru, came in support of Sivaji Raja.According to grapevine, the allegations of Sivaji Raja's parents were the handiwork of a Congress leader in West Godavari district to defame Chiranjeevi and his supporters, even before the latter launches his political party. Sivaji Raja has been a close follower of Chiru and he is defamed, it would automatically reflect on Chiru. There is a suspicion that Sivaji Raja's parents might even drag Chiranjeevi's name into their murky episode.Well, anyth

The accusations that Demario "Raz B†Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this. My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children," said Chris Stokes, CEO of The Ultimate Group It's also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance

Questions continue to be raised regarding Ron Paul’s relationship to white supremacist organizations. Paul has been unable to avoid allegations of racism due to a combination of racist writings in his newsletter under his byline (which he says were written by someone else) and his refusal to return a contribution from Stormfront founder Don Black. While Stormfront has endorsed Paul, there have been conflicting regarding Paul’s relationship to the group.
Little Green Footballs has posted a photograph of Paul posing with Don Black (above) at the Values Voters Presidential Debate in Fort Lauderdale on September 17, 2007. This is hardly conclusive as we don’t even know if Paul even knew who he was posing with. My suspicion is that if Paul knew who it was he naively would have still have posed with Black, along with any other supporters requesting a photograph, without this proving any further relationship.

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) failed to prove an insured tried to defraud the corporation by faking the theft of his minivan, and B.C.'s provincial court ordered the public insurer to allow the claim.
In Brummitt vs. ICBC, Michael Brummitt filed a claim in June 2005 with ICBC that his 1999 Dodge Caravan was stolen from his driveway. A day or two later, the vehicle was recovered by police; the interior was extensively damaged by a fire that appeared to be deliberately set.
The theft occurred only days before the vehicle's insurance was due for renewal.
ICBC denied liability, alleging Brummitt took the mini-van or arranged with others to simulate a theft.
If a claimant asserts under oath that the vehicle was taken without his or her consent, the claimant does not have to prove that he or she did not participate in the loss, wrote Provincial Court of British Columbia Justice Ross Tweedale.

The following entry is reproduced from an article written by Steve Brandt for the Star Tribune. A Minneapolis man sentenced on a federal mortgage fraud charge in 2001 now faces Hennepin County charges involving at least $1.2 million in mortgages that stretched from Bloomington to Blaine. Larry D. Maxwell (pictured below), 52, was charged Monday with 10 counts in the alleged mortgage fraud, including racketeering. Also charged with nine counts of forgery, identity theft and theft by swindle was Realty Executive Advantage Plus Group. The real estate brokerage was operated from Maxwell’s north Minneapolis riverfront condo. Larry Reed, Maxwell’s attorney, said that his client will plead not guilty. “Because Mr. Maxwell made a mistake in the past, they decided to go after him. He hasn’t done anything improper,” said Reed, who represented Maxwell in his federal case and said he had also bought a house from him. The case is the fourth alleged mortgage fra
In the following press release on November 16, 2007, the Office of U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, announced that Harold Stafford, Miles Jackson Black and Jeffrey Dunn Hathcock were indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday for conspiracy, wire fraud and bank fraud. In addition, Harold Stafford was charged with money laundering.

In the following press release Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Prosecutor Bill Mason (pictured left) announced the indictment of George Michaels [who is accused of] obtaining $200,000 in fraudulent building contract loans for two houses worth almost $1 million in North Royalton. The work was never completed, leaving the victims to find another builder to finish construction. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, a member of the Mortgage Fraud/Predatory Lending Task Force, conducted the investigations with the Prosecutor’s Office. “The pervasive fraud—whether mortgage fraud or theft—-in the real estate market has been one of the big factors in our high foreclosure rate. These thieves are affecting not just our neighborhoods with blight and abandoned houses but our entire economy,” said Prosecutor Bill Mason. “Our county is making a concerted effort to tackle a mortgage industry gone awry, and these indictments add to this chorus of aggressively combating the
In the following press release the FBI in St Louis MO announced that Christopher Rakel was charged in a two-count indictment alleging a far-ranging scheme to defraud banks and other mortgage lenders and money laundering, the announcement was delivered by United States Attorney Catherine L. Hanaway. “Mortgage fraud is, unfortunately, rampant in our community,” said Hanaway. “In addition to the lenders duped in this scheme, the neighborhoods in which these homes are situated must struggle with the vacant and dilapidated housing stock that is the unfortunate by-product of this type of crime.

In the following press release Wayne County (MI) Prosecutor Kim Worthy announced that over the course of its first two years investigating property scams, the Wayne County Deed Fraud Task Force has arrested and convicted quite a few bold individuals for ripping off homeowners and mortgage companies, but few have been as bold – or as foolish – as D’Clarence Reynolds, according to Task Force officials. Investigators for the Task Force say Reynolds, 27, who last year had been terminated by the Detroit Police Department in June 2006, allegedly forged the signature of Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett on a form that indicated he was still an employee with the city. The letter was dated October 16, 2006, nearly two months after his termination. With that forged document in hand, Reynolds successfully obtained an $80,000 loan from Long Beach Mortgage to purchase a home located at 7389 Warwick in the city of Detroit. “It’s hard to believe that anyone &ndash

An Assets Scrutiny Committee (ASC) sub-committee probing alleged irregularities in an electrical power cable-laying project related to Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi international airport has ordered former transport minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit to provide more information by next Wednesday, according to sub-committee chairwoman Jaruvan Maintaka. Khunying Jaruvan said the deadline was set after Mr. Suriya failed to appear before the sub-committee on Thursday (Oct 25) to defend himself regarding charges of alleged corruption in connection with the project. Instead, the former transport minister assigned his personal secretary to carry a letter to the sub-committee saying that he would be willing to testify, but asked to postpone his appearance for 10 days, said Jaruvan. Rejecting the longer postponement, the sub-committee agreed to delay the hearing only until Wednesday (Oct 31), but if Mr. Suriya fails to report at that time the sub-committee would interpret his action as indicating n
