A breaking scandal implicating the legal firm Mischon De Reya, who represented Diana, Princess of Wales in her divorce from Prince Charles, appears to suggest that they have full and subversive control of the British Legal System – being allowed to buy and sell firearms without a licence, launder monies through Trust Accounts of deceased clients and seem to conspire to defraud, at will. All of this is common knowledge to some Members of the British Parliament, The Serious Fraud Office and the Crown Prosecution Service of the UK.
Mischon De Reya, are Puppet Masters of the former Labour Government, the British Legal System and Public Bodies of the UK. Following the death of Lord Victor Mischon, one of the founders of the law firm, Mischon De Reya, Tony Blair gave a speech where he spoke very highly of him. That’s not at all surprising, once we learned that Victor Mischon had personally been one of the biggest fund raisers for the Labour Party since the early 1970’s.
Mischon De Reya also frequently encourage high net worth individual clients to donate money to political parties, in order to put themselves in favour with the people in power and it’s these such ‘Favours for Favours’ that give Mischon De Reya the ultimate protective shield they need to deal illegally in arms, launder monies, rob and defraud at will.
Whist conducting this investigation into Mischon De Reya we have come across countless examples of corruption going back as far as Robert Maxwell and the disappearance of the pension funds – as Mischon De Reya were also his lawyers.
One of the first cases we researched was the case of a wealthy British business man by the name of Michael Shephard. This is a very serious matter indeed.
Mischon De Reya robbed Shephard, who was one of their own clients, out of many millions of pounds. They then proceeded to forge a massive conspiracy against him which lead to him being convicted of the fraud of 22 Million Euros from EFG Bank, Switzerland, in 2008. Shephard received a custodial sentence of 10 years – which is the maximum sentence applicable for this type of crime.
During Shephard’s trial, Mischon De Reya withheld evidence from the Courts. Evidence which, had it not been concealed, would have clearly proved Michael Shephard’s innocence. Subsequently, a Freezing Order, applied for by Mischon De Reya was granted by one of their ‘friendly’ judges – upon all of Shephard’s assets, including all of his properties, his companies and all monies held in his bank accounts which they had knowledge of.
At the end of this trial his (supposed) ‘co-conspirators’ were Mr. Kevin Steele, a senior partner from Mischon De Reya and Mr. Mark Pattinson, a financial and legal consultant whom, at the time, advised Mr. Shephard.
The lawyer, Kevin Steele, received a much lower sentence of four and a half years, despite the fact that he had more charges against him than Mr. Shephard – and ran a full trial. Pattinson received the equivalent of a ‘slap-on-the-wrist’ – of just eighteen months, after he became the Prosecution’s ‘Super Grass’ and (effectively) said whatever they required him to.
Since 1995, Shephard had become an Ex-Pat, constantly travelling around the world. Then in November 2007 his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was resisting any care or support for his illness from any outside parties. So Shephard then made the decision to move back to the UK on a permanent basis, so that he could personally take care of his ailing father, during the final few months of his life.
After he realised that he could not run his numerous business interests around the world and care for his father full-time, Shephard then made the decision to make Kevin Steele (who was a senior partner of the law firm Mischon de Reya) his Power of Attorney to reside over his financial affairs and business dealings, internationally.
Then, mid 2008, Shephard’s wife of over 10 years disappeared, taking his nine year old daughter with her. She left without any form of contact or reference to their whereabouts. At this time, Shepard’s only knowledge was that they were residing somewhere in the UK. This information was given to him by one of his wife’s close friends. This news devastated Shephard as it meant that he wasn’t able to see his daughter.
The next day, following the disappearance of both his wife and daughter, Shephard was served with divorce papers and a ‘Freezing Order’ on all of his business and worldwide assets. Despite being shocked by his wife leaving, Shepard had suspected for some months prior to her disappearance that something within his wife’s behaviour was deeply suspicious. Because of this, and as a precautionary measure, he had purposely left a trail of false bank accounts around his property – in order for his wife to find – which had been recommended to him that he should do, by Mark Pattinson who then went ahead and organised and created all of the false documents.
Subsequently, it was found by Private Investigators that his wife had been having an affair for two and a half years with a police officer, P.C James Gardner (badge # 2026) of Newport, South Wales.
Upon discovering that she was not going to receive a huge financial payment in a divorce settlement, packed her bags for her, after he discovered that she was now pregnant, and that he was the father and sent her back to Mr. Shephard.
It was then at this time that he was advised by Kevin Steele to create a further Power of Attorney, – which would include both himself (Steele) and another fellow partner of Mischon de Reya, Mr. Mark Baker, to supersede the first Power of Attorney – and acting upon his advice, this is what was done in June 2008.
During this time there were over thirty letters that had been sent by Mr. Shephard to Kevin Steele which clearly stated that he was unhappy, on numerous occasions, with how Steele was ignoring his instructions – where he repeatedly asked for the return of his monies – the paying off of bills from an ongoing business venture – stating that he was to pull out of an overseas deal and therefore needed the return/release of some of his money. Steele constantly ignored Mr. Shephard’s requests and repeatedly made excuse after excuse, referring instead to tax efficiency schemes.
During this period and on more than one occasion, Kevin Steele had asked Mr. Shephard for a loan of £1.8 million. Shephard made it clear, in no uncertain terms that he was not prepared to loan him any money.
Regardless of this refusal, Kevin Steele acting as his Power of Attorney, then took it upon himself to steal this amount of money from Michael Shephard’s Client Account. When Mr. Shephard was told by Simon Hart (also of Mischon De Reya) that the amount of £1.8 million had gone from his Client Account, Shephard immediately reported it to Mischon De Reya and told them that the money was missing and had been withdrawn from his Client Account without his permission.
Mischon De Reya failed to report this crime to the local police for a period of twenty days, despite the fact that they are duty bound, by law, to do.
Our high level source within Mischon De Reya has confirmed to us that during this ‘window’ of twenty days, all files of Mr. Shephards were ‘sanitised’ in an attempt to make them (MDR) out to be the victims of this crime. Following Mr. Shephard’s sentence it is blatantly obvious that this tactic was successful but this only achieved with the help of the SFO officers who did not conduct a proper and thorough investigation
[N.B. This is the same source within the law firm Mischon De Reya who first drew our attention to them by alleging that they have used Client Accounts of former, deceased clients, to buy and sell arms without holding an arms licence – and to launder monies.]
Unbeknown to Mr. Shephard, Kevin Steele had been involved in previous fraudulent activities – which included a £1.6 million hotel fraud in September, 2007 and an attempt in August 2008 to defraud the Dubai Financial Services.
The Serious Fraud Office and Mischon De Reya both had this knowledge of these previous fraudulent activities but both parties wilfully and knowingly, failed to inform the courts of these previous crimes. The action of both parties to keep this knowledge concealed should and would, have to be viewed by the British Legal System as Criminal, Indictable Offences under charges of :
Criminal Negligence
Misconduct in Public Office (By The Serious Fraud Office)
Conspiracy to Commit Fraud by False Representation
Fraud by Failure to Disclose Information
Fraud by way of Abuse of Position
Perverting the Course of Justice
Defamation of Character
So, it was in fact Michael Shephard himself who first reported the theft of £1.8 million from his Client Account then it was The EFG Bank, Switzerland that reported the crime to the police, as soon as they were informed about it – but that was three weeks after Shephard first reported it. Then, a further three days later, Mischon De Reya then applied for a ‘Freezing Order of Any Media and News Coverage’ regarding the bank’s investigation into the fraud and any subsequent findings.
THE UK SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE ARE EITHER TOTALLY CRIMINAL OR COMPLETELY STUPID!
It has been discovered that the investigation performed by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) was one of appalling Criminal Negligence. They failed to perform their duty to a professional standard and willingly and knowingly overlooked vital evidence which lead to the wrongful conviction of an innocent man – i.e – Michael Shephard.
This is not the first time that the SFO has wasted millions of pounds of tax payer’s money by choosing to corrupt a case. From a source from within the SFO itself, we have now learned that the City of London Police have repeatedly been refused access to the case files, after they had been given information from one of Mr. Shephard’s co-accused legal team – who said that in his opinion, Mr. Shephard could very well be an innocent party in the fraud of EFG Bank – and that his conviction should be deemed ‘Unsafe.’
The SFO’s Misconduct of Public Office and Perversion of the Course of Justice, shows just how easy it is for outside influences to control the British Legal System and Public Office, at will.
Our whistleblower within the SFO has informed us about a deathbed confession which has been recorded and transcribed, made by a Mr. Charles Levey. This deathbed confession completely exonerates Michael Shephard from all involvement with the EFG Bank fraud. Levey also informed them about the fact that Steele and Pattinson moved money from Mr. Shephard’s accounts, into duplicate accounts that they had set up. This theft of Mr. Shephard’s money amounts to millions of British Pounds.
He explained how Mischon De Reya sold a large quantity of diamonds for one of Mr.Shephard’s companies. Kevin Steele acted on behalf of Mr. Shephard as agent and broker to oversee the transaction of the sale of the diamonds. Steele was responsible for the collection of all the monies, once the diamonds had been delivered to Mr. Charles Levey who was in Qatar. Kevin Steele was charging a brokerage fee for their services ( Mischon De Reya’s) as they themselves approached and appointed Mr. Levey.
Levey also stated that it was possible that two of their officers had been ‘paid off’ – in order to corrupt the case against Michael Shephard. The Serious Fraud Office failed to search the files at Mischon De Reya’s offices and therefore failed to find key evidence. Levey’s deathbed confession was vital evidence which meant that he was a critical witness in the matter. However, this evidence was ‘conveniently’ overlooked by the SFO, despite having a legal obligation and duty of Public Office to investigate.
Whilst incarcerated in prison, Michael Shephard was visited by a partner of the London law firm, Kennedys, who asked for his co-operation in a law suit against Mischon De Reya, connected to a business deal Michael Shephard had been involved in.
Kennedy’s Solicitors of London was given full access to all files held by the SFO that the City of London Police was denied access to. How can it be that a standard law firm is allowed access to files held by the Serious Fraud Office but the City of London Police were denied?
It is believed that Mischon De Reya used their influence with friends and had a Judge known as Judge Wood placed to reside over Shephard’s sentencing. A reporter who was in court at the time confirms this. Judge Wood tried to impose a term of eleven years upon Shephard but he had to be informed that the maximum sentence could only be ten years. This has again been confirmed by our source. This sentence went completely against the Counsel’s advice which was a four to six year term, as agreed (by Counsel) before the trial. We have to comply that this did indeed appear to be a complete and utter ‘Abuse of Position’ by Judge Wood, which seems to add more weight to back the claim that there was ‘Outside Influence’ over this trial. Added to this, the Public Prosecutor, Mr. Arranberg, seemed according to our sources overly concerned for the welfare of the good name of Mischon De Reya. Questions have been asked how he is associated to Mischon De Reya and to what extent undue influence was exerted.
It can now be confirmed that that Michael Shephard has put in an appeal with the Criminal Cases Review Commission, as new evidence that has been gathered, undeniably proves his innocence.
Michael Shephard’S Assets
One of our collective is a reporter on the staff of the Daily Mail. He was approached with an offer to buy Mr. Shephard’s will for £5,000. This will was then used to further investigate Mr. Shephard’s story and unravelled much of what we found.
Interestingly, for some insight into the character of the man, he has in his will made provisions for many people in the North of England who have been instrumental in supporting him throught his time in jail. He seems to be a man who shows kindness easily and doesn’t forget those who look out for him.
Out of all of the reporters involved in the research of this case, four of us have concentrated solely on the tracking down of numerous companies that Michael Shephard has been associated with – along with many bank accounts which he seems to control. All of the companies that we can link him to are BARER Share Corporations in Switzerland, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands. These companies have no registered ownership but the sixteen bank accounts held by the companies, have accumulated phenomenal amounts of cash, in several currencies, totalling well over $520,000,000 USD.
It’s no secret that Shephard’s past is slightly chequered but it is well known that since the early 90’s, he’s had no need to break the law. A millionaire since his early twenties, his commercial dealings since include many well known companies. He’s either owned these companies outright or controlled a large part of the share holding, with his involvement behind the scenes. These include a variety of businesses such as top class hotels, retail and wholesale companies, as well as a claims management company.
We have learned through our contacts and sources within the banking industry, in the offshore jurisdictions, that his asset base far outweighs his cash deposits. These include a 55O Gulf Stream jet, a 280 Gulf Stream jet, a 122 foot triple deck yacht, (moored in The Bahamas) – as well as over ten luxury homes around the world in locations such as Barbados, Shanghai, Macau, Australia, California, Monaco and a luxury 16th century home over-looking the city of Rome, to name but a few. Additionally, he owns commercial properties, plus a rental residential portfolio, in Asia, South America and Europe – all of which earn him vast amounts of revenue in rental income.
We found documents that show that a company in the Cayman Islands that he is believed to control, owns a magnificent four storey home in Belgravia, London that has a 79 year lease remaining upon it. This house has been on lease since its purchase.
We have also confirmed that he has sold a large ‘Black Diamond’ which has been in his possession for over fifteen years, mined somewhere in S.E. Asia and then sold to a Russian Consortium for $17 million USD. No one is exactly sure where it was mined, in terms of its exact location, but Michael Shephard is well known for taking payment for his services or the products he sells, in the form of diamonds, preferably uncut. It is believed that these diamonds are kept in safety deposit boxes in Hong Kong and Switzerland, again, totalling many millions of U.S Dollars.
Recently we learned that he has applied for a Caribbean Banking and Insurance Licence to sit in a Cayman Islands Corporation. This will be the third structure of this nature that Mr. Shephard has built. The previous two banking structures are still in operation and are extremely successful. They deal exclusively with Asian clients. The new banking structure is believed to be being prepared to only deal with clients from the old Eastern Block.
He also sells large quantities of tobacco products from S.E. Asia and Mexico to the Eastern Block. His tobacco company could easily move up to 30 shipping containers a month, (with a 200% mark-up) – amounting to millions of U.S Dollars profit, per month. He has recently sold this company – again to a Russian consortium, for $160 million USD for 70% of the company – the other 30% was sold to a Japanese consortium for $60 million USD – as the rights for distribution was split 70/30.
The land company includes land in Africa, certain countries within Asia and the Caribbean, again, all accumulating vast sums of profit. Typically, he would buy land and then hold onto it for 10-15 years until its value was increased by townships and urban developments coming nearer, or certain planning permissions being granted. We found documentation of one coastal piece of land on the island of Barbados of 14.2 hectares which is owned by a company he is known to control, which he purchased for $1.25 million USD in 1996 and has recently sold the Cayman’s company which it is owned by, for $62 million USD.
We found evidence of another piece of land in Africa, one of 5.2 square miles in Kimberley (the diamond fields of South Africa) linked to one of his companies which was purchased on the 30/6/88 for $244,000 USD, which was recently sold for $156 million USD. Then there is a nineteen and a half square mile Caribbean island which is owned by a company that Michael Shephard is associated with and known to control. It was purchased in 1997 for $12,750,000 USD, under the jurisdiction of The Bahamas. This is now believed to be worth in excess of $60 million USD.
We learned that in the first week in July 2015 that he has opened a solicitor’s Client Account called K.J.R Kimba. We have no idea who this is because in our research, we’ve not been able to find anyone in his past or present, who has this name? Whoever this person is – according to our contacts in the Cayman’s Bank, this account is having tens of thousands of pounds a week transferred into it.
We have also learned that apart from the vast sums of cash being transferred into this account, a luxury apartment near the Piazza in Rome, purchased for 3.2milliion Euros in 2006 (which is believed Michael Shepard owns, via an offshore corporation) has also been transferred over to K.J.R Kimba, in Trust with his lawyers, as well as a luxury apartment in Manchester in the United Kingdom. This was only purchased in the first week in July of this year, 2015, at the same time that the property in Rome was transferred. What we do know is that whoever KJR Kimba is, must now be vastly wealthy – and everything has been transferred in to this account, and it can never legally be questioned in the manner of which it has been done.
We have found that Shephard has recently purchased a Bugatti Veyron for £1.5 million pounds as an addition to his already impressive collection of vintage cars. To list just a few which include Aston Martins DB4, DB5 and an early Ferrari California.
It is also known that Shephard is opening a new Swiss company to deal with a specialised anti ageing cream which is believed is far in advance of anything on the current market. He has been looking at entering the cosmetics world for over ten years and we believe now is is the time he has chosen to show he is back and prove he has not lost any of his edge.
Everything that is stated here is known to be authentic and we can prove the prices quoted as fact. We can also show that Michael Shephard authorised all purchases.
All assets owned by Shephard are always placed in offshore structures. To sell the asset, he sells the structure which it is owned by. This means tracing any sale is practically impossible. This shows the intelligence level of the man and goes to prove that he is far more intelligent that people believe.
Does that not beg the question, would a man of this wealth and intelligence level use his own name and 9 months of his time, to try to steal a paltry 22 Million Euros? Or is it just a simple case of a few crooked lawyers getting greedy when given power of attorney and access to someone else’s money?
CHARITIES THAT MICHAEL SHEPHARD CONTRIBUTES TO.
We found the following revelations most interesting. Our research also discovered that Michael Shephard contributes large sums of money at the end of each financial quarter to what he believes are very worthy causes. It is very rare for him to actually give cash. Instead, he prefers to provide equipment so that money cannot be ‘skimmed off’ by charity organisers. For example, he is known to provide equipment required for hospital baby units, such as life support machines, incubators and scanning equipment for women’s cancer care. He doesn’t appear to be shy in coming forward if he hears of any hospital in need of help in any part of the world. It seems too that he will go to great efforts in order to remain anonymous.
He is also known to have provided medical supplies to areas in Asia and South America when they were in need. These supplies were always brought in from either the Eastern Block, or Mexico where he is known to trade.
The following information came from two reporters and their research – who were informed that he helped to fund several orphanages for abused children, in Thailand. This is a first-hand account of what they told us that they learned.
“We flew there to check this out and to our astonishment, not only were we informed that he had founded these orphanages by the Order of Sisters who run the orphanages but we were also told that he paid for the building of them. They told us that he always makes sure that there is enough money available each month for food and clothes for the children. Out there, the Sisters whom we spoke to all had nothing but praise for him and all that he provides.
Upon talking to the population surrounding the bars of Bangkok we heard some interesting stories about Shephard. Until recently, he owned one of the biggest night clubs, where it was rumoured that he had a ‘Zero Tolerance’ for certain types of tourists who entered the country. i.e. paedophiles.
Michael Shephard oversaw the safety, education and welfare of one young eight year old girl who was being sold as a child prostitute. He put her through both school in Thailand and University in Singapore. She is now aged thirty-one and works on Wall Street, New York.”
There appears to be some discrepancy about Shephard’s actual age because we discovered that he has at least four passports, with birth dates all differing, from the years 1961-1969 but all in the same name?
Finally, one of our reporters discovered that Mr. Shephard is currently writing a book on his story and intends to donate proceeds to various charities for underprivileged children.
LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT MICHAEL SHEPHARD.
Mr. Shephard is currently pinned in the UK – still on a prison licence, unable to move and check on exactly how much money in total has been stolen by the law firm, Mischon De Reya from his bank accounts. By his standards, he has always lived very frugally whilst residing in the UK but now this man who is of extraordinary wealth is reduced to living a restricted life style which we do think is unfair circumstances, for a crime which he did not commit.
A further twist to the tale, during the many, many months of our collective research, we’ve observed that just lately, there appears to be what we would describe as, a sudden movement of large quantities of cash and assets by Michael Shephard. We know that in the not too distant past that he had a health scare when he had a brush with Cancer. We’ve had no confirmation about his current state of health but we did hear rumours that his appearance has changed drastically, appearing bloated, and that there is a possibility that he may be ill again. As we said, at the time of publication we have no absolute confirmation of this – though proof of all of his background and assets we have researched exhaustively.
Shortly before the publication of this article we attempted to speak to Mr. Shephard over a number of matters at his home in the north of England. He explained to us that an appeal is currently being prepared and will soon be lodged with the Criminal Cases Review Commission and upon contacting Mr. Damian Green (Q.C, MP) who is the head of the Serious Fraud Office in London, Green advised him to lodge an appeal. He further explained that due to this he could not give us any comment
upon this matter and politely asked us not to contact him again.
STATEMENT BY THE AUTHORS
This article has been written by a collective of over 20 reporters from Western Europe and the Eastern European Block. We are all tired of witnessing the endless corruption within our profession and the constant lies which are fed to the public via an ultimately state controlled media. The Truth is often concealed and the story the public gets is rarely the truth. For example, we know that in the trial the ‘free’ press were instructed to discredit Shephard as and when possible. We have finally had enough of good journalists being gagged and suppressed and being held back from reporting what is really happening and being covered-up which just serves to maintain the endless cess-pit of injustice and corruption, none more so than is currently prevalent within the United Kingdom.
Whether it be Vladimir Putin of Russia or Kim Jon- Il of North Korea, many foreign leaders are condemned by the British government on a regular basis as being ‘corrupt’ or ‘anti-democratic’. Should Britain not clean it’s own house first and dispose of political friends like Mischon De Reya? Firms like Mischon De Reya make a mockery of justice. Can they explain the wealth they have made and the vast sums of cash they control for alleged clients? With a recently opened office in the United States, are their dealings in the most powerful nation in the world similar to their dealings in the UK?
Are these clients honourable upstanding people or are they criminal organisations throughout the world. How nice it must have been for them, during Tony Blair’s years of reign, when Number 10 shielded them. Let’s see if the current number 10 has more honour.
Corruption Uncovered have more exposes in the pipeline. Keep your eyes on these pages for more truth. Our next story involves a British businessman who is currently suffering 18 years in prison for a crime he also didn’t commit.
