Hi Wally

As far as I can tell the four confiscations are from Russian nationals. Last year a confiscation order ws made againsst a Swiss couple in Anjuna as well.
A worrying development all the same.

Dread - x

Swiss couple ? Dread is it the lovely couple we had dinner with last season?

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

As far as I know this Swiss couple is still fighting against the confiscation order.
We have options to fight against this orders tells my advocate and to go through all the courts it take years and a lot of money. I have respects to all the foreigners who fight against.:fingerscrossed::thumbsup:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

What is really worrying is that (once again) the Goan govt seem to be making it up as they go along:-
there are detailled procedures laid down for DofE enforcements and although confiscation is possible there is a long appeals procedure and confiscation is [supposed to be] done by the govt of India NOT the State govt!
If the 'forty thieves' are allowed to get away with this I can see confiscation of foreigners' property becoming a popular sport!!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

there was a link in an earlier post to an article in which the people/companies having their property confiscated were said to be Russian and Kamat mentioned a figure of 200 cases referred.

So when Mikky said that no-one in Goa was rich - no-one even had 100 Crore, he was partly right - as far as his US accounts went anyway!

Ali-Baba is, apparently, quite happy with the ED going ahead with their enquiries. He and our BHC had a meeting scheduled for the day after our last meet. Is it too obvious to state there was no resolution of any kind arrived at? Couldn`t we have been given some kind of report, or is it confidential.The BHC are too busy looking for ways for allowing Indians to circumvent the UK visa rules. After all, its Shining India. (sorry that was last year.) This year it`s Incredible India.It`s bad enough the aam aadmi (?) believing the propaganda, but Brit officialdom, that`s something else.

Being flippant, has Stagg been seen, or heard of, since the Ali-Baba meeting? Maybe we should post him AWOL. More likely he hasn`t been missed. A complete breakdown in communication.

Maybe a bit of 'exotic meat' would "go down well" in a US penetentiary. . . . . . . . Best advice to Mickky would be not to bend down to pick up the soap in the shower, whatever happens. . . . . . . . . .

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I think it is interesting that the Goan Government has said that it has always wanted the "immediate removal" of the River Princess. I had not really noticed that this was the case. Can we have a sweepie on how long two months really is in Goa. I will take 20 years, any other takers?

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I think the River Princess will disintegrate before then so I would go for 8 years and 3 months.
