Billionaire
Walid Juffali from Saudi Arabia owns one of Saudi Arabia's biggest
conglomerates, making him one of the richest men in the country. He currently
resides in the UK. He presented his legal immunity in Britain as the Caribbean
Government recognises him as their 'diplomat to London. He is a representative of
Foreign States and Commonwealth countries based in London.
How
that happened is still a mystery. But…
No Public Record
St.
Lucia from the Caribbean lists Juffali as its "Permanent
Representative" to the International Maritime Organisation on its list of
diplomats.
However,
journalists' investigations reveal that Juffali has no public record attending
meetings of the International Maritime Organisation.
When
questioned, the St. Lucian Government did not reveal the amount of time he
spent in the Country's High Commission in Kensington, London.
This
is a clear indicator of some fishy business, I must presume.
Well-Established Businessman
However,
the St Lucian government did say that Juffali was chosen because of his
"well-established success as a businessman and having previously
undertaken diplomatic duties.
The
St Lucian government said it did not want to make official comments as it is
not common practice to answer Foreign Service appointment questions.
Definitely
something fishy. Maybe he invested in the country in exchange for diplomatic
immunity almost anywhere? That would be useful for any billionaire.
