The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) announced yesterday the arrest of two British nationals who were caught in possession of $3-trillion fake US federal bank notes in an entrapment operation.
Charges of forgery and illegal possession of bank notes were filed against Paul Edward John Flavell and Sam Beany, both residents of the CEO Apartments located on Jupiter street, Makati City.
Manuel Eduarte, head agent of the NBI Anti-Graft Division said charges against the suspects were filed before the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office last April 15. The two were granted temporary liberty after they each posted P16,000 bail last Tuesday.
However, NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco said he has coordinated with the Bureau of Immigration and requested that the two suspects be included in its watchlist.
Two of their alleged cohorts, also British nationals, have yet to be apprehended by lawmen. They were identified as Zeki Mehmet Bayram and Peter Wittkamp.
The NBI recovered from Flavell and Beany a metal scroll and fake US federal bank reserves totaling $3 trillion, which were contained in an iron chest.
There were 13 boxes in the chest, each containing 50 reserve notes that amounted to $1 billion.
Eduarte said the notes were definite forgeries since the biggest amount the US government came out with was in the denomination of $10,000.
The counterfeit bonds were supposedly manufactured in 1934.
In a report submitted by the NBI-AGD to Wycoco, international courier company DHL Philippines informed their unit last April 14 that suspects Flavell and Beany were about to ship a cargo of fake US federal reserves to Zurich, Switzerland. They paid P53,967.24 as shipment fee.
Eduarte’s agents confirmed that the suspects went to the DHL office located at Pasong Tamo street in Makati City.
The two suspects allegedly paid the shipment fee and were asked to open the iron chest for inspection. Upon seeing that the contents were similar to the items they seized from a previous operation, the NBI agents accosted them.

AGENTS of the National Bureau of Investigation have arrested two British nationals who attempted to send abroad bogus US Federal Bank Reserve certificates worth three million dollars contained in a cast iron box in Makati City, bureau officials said yesterday.
NBI director Reynaldo G. Wycoco identified the suspects as Paul Edward John Flavell and Sam Beany, both billeted at Room 305, CEO Apartments, Jupiter Street, Makati City.
Wycoco said his men are still hot on the trail of two other Britons, Zeki Mehmet Bayram and Peter H. Wittkamp.
On April 14, the NBI received a call from DHL Philippines, an international cargo forwarder, about the pending shipment of suspected fake US Federal Bank Reserve certificates to Zurich, Switzerland.
An NBI team confirmed the information that Flavell and Beany

http://www.kehrlioeler.ch/htm/english/lager/zollfreilager.htmlSome stories about the Marcos wealth are so fantastic that they stretch the limits of credulity. Others have become so convoluted that they are barely comprehensible. There are, however, various reports and documents that bear consideration.
.....For instance, various documents and testimonies suggest the existence of Marcos gold at Freilager A.G. (a special bonded warehouse) at Kloten Airport, Zurich, Switzerland and that the PCGG knew about this.
