Dirty money is money that is illegally earned, illegally transferred or illegally utilized. If it breaks laws in its origin, movement or use, then it qualifies for the label. There are three forms of dirty money that cross borders: criminal, corrupt and commercial.
Dirty Money from ‘Big Brother’: Jade Goody
As reported by TOI: British celebrity Jade Goody, infamous in India for her alleged racial slurs against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty on a reality TV show, is now on a charitable mission to the country to donate part of the "dirty" money earned on the serial to a children's home here. The 25-year-old British celebrity donated 50,000 dollars to a children's home run by a charitable trust on Feb 27. "For me the money I earned from 'Big Brother' is dirty money, as it caused a lot of hurt to people. It would not have been a nice thing to put it in the bank," Goody told reporters.
Dirty Money of Paris Hilton by Sex Video
Paris Whitney Hilton (born February 17, 1981) is an American singer, actress, and fashion model. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, and to the real estate fortune of her father, Richard Hilton.
Hilton also starred in 1 Night in Paris (2004), an unauthorized sex video with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, for which she received directorial credit. The film earned three AVN Awards in 2005, including "Best Selling Title of the Year". Hilton originally sued Salomon over the release of the tape, but settled out of court in July 2005. According to reports, Hilton was awarded up to $400,000 and planned to donate a percentage to charity.. However, in a 2006 interview with GQ magazine, she stated: "I never received a dime from (the video). It's just dirty money and (Salomon) should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something."
Dirty Money Runs in Bollywood
In 2000 the joint commissioner of Bombay police, D. Shivanandan announced that a notorious film producers, Bharat Shah had financed the (now) controversial film "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke" with money straight from the underworld.
The Guardian says, "In 1997, Bollywood music baron Gulshan Kumar was assassinated by a hit squad in Bombay (now renamed Mumbai) city centre. Last Tuesday, Merchant, an assassin employed by India's most feared gangland boss, Chotta Shakeel, was remanded in police custody. He has now confessed to receiving 100,000 rupee (almost £1,500) from Shakeel as the first installment for the murder of the music baron.
Quattrocchi drew 21 crores from London bank
The same CBI and Government solicitor to pursue the instruction of Sonia Gandhi and law Minister Bhardwaj gave green signal to the London Bank because of that freeze a/c was defreeze to facilitate Mr. Q for drawing Rs. 21 crores. That was dirty money. Some portion of it might reached from Italian to Italian. Who should follow Jade Goody?
Ever since the Swedish radio station revealed, all those years ago (1987), that Bofors had paid bribes in obtaining their contracts to sell the Indian Government guns the Congress Party has concentrated on ensuring that the names of the guilty never came out. First, when Bofors offered to give the government names of those allegedly bribed, Rajiv Gandhi intervened to say this would not be in the national interest. When angry Opposition parties continued to make a noise about Bofors and demand that we try and get some information from the Swiss Government, a deliberate attempt was made to send the wrong kind of letter rogatory. Instead of asking for details of bank accounts on the grounds that they related to bribes, we sent them a letter rogatory which talked of tax evasion. The letter rogatory was rejected because the Swiss banking system only reveals its secrets when corruption or dirty money is involved.
Dirty Money in Elections: US campaign reform bill
Most elections in the USA are probably as dirty as they are in India. Remember Watergate? However, after a rather prolonged debate on how to make campaigns less expensive and more fair to all the candidates the US lawmakers have at last come up with a piece of legislation US campaign reform bill which should be of interest to Indian lawmakers.
The sweeping campaign reform measure was jointly moved by Republican Senator John McCain and his Democratic colleague Russ Feingold and was passed by a 59-41 majority. The fact that only 12 Republicans along with 47 of the "opposition" Democrats voted for the measure would, in the India situation, have been seen as the "defeat" of the government. However, in the USA it is being celebrated as the triumph of democracy.
Monitoring Poll Campaign donations
The Anti-Money Laundering Council on Tuesday warned it will not hesitate to investigate any candidate suspected of using ill-gotten wealth for the May 14, 2007 elections.
AMLC executive director Vicente Aquino said the council will coordinate with the Commission on Elections in investigating parties that donate to election funds of candidates.
"Using campaign funds from unlawful activities under the AMLA (Anti-Money Laundering Act) is already money laundering," Aquino said.
He said bank transactions made by candidates amounting to P500,000 or more will be thoroughly investigated by the AMLC.
Common sources of “dirty money” are the jueteng (illegal numbers) business. In fact, the Philippine Senate once investigated several politicians allied with President Arroyo who were suspected of having received donations from "jueteng" lords.
Aquino said candidates say they do not know who their campaign donors are because "once they run, it is understood that they are intelligent and use their brains (to circumvent the AMLA)."
Federal auditors said a campaign committee for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., should return $81,320 in unlawful corporate contributions from her 2002 campaign.
Nexus suspected between leaders kidnappers and the police
A AMLC executive director Vicente Aquino said some sources of illegal campaign funds include drug pushing, kidnap-for-ransom crimes, illegal numbers game (jueteng) and robbery.
Aquino’ version may be true in the Adobe India CEO’s son Anant’s kidnapping cas of Noida, India.
From the beginning Ashok Gupta said that money 6o lacs was demanded. But neither he nor police disclosed that ransom 50 lacs is paid. They disclosed this after seizing 50 lacs.
Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh was present in the house of Naresh Gupta after seizure and at the time of reaching Anant upto the home of Naresh Gupta at Noida. Why?
So many questions arise which are unanswered uptill now. Would Police and UP Government give satisfactory answer with facts?
Third question also areises. Are police, leaders and kidnappers are shared the ransom money in this case also as some other cases? Money and vote are today’s most important factors now days. Leaders want votes and criminals want blessing of leaders and police.
