Ted Maher -- former Special Forces; Neonatal Intensive Care nurse
American Green Beret veteran and accomplished neonatal nurse Ted Maher has now been held 537 days without trial in Monaco's prison on trumped-up and false charges -- charges of causing the deaths of billionaire banker Edmond Safra and Ted's fellow nurse, Vivian Torrente on December 3, 1999. In truth, Ted fought valiantly against two armed, masked intruders to defend Edmond and Vivian and save their lives. During the struggle, Ted suffered severe knife wounds that required one hundred staples to close.
Billionaire banker Edmond Safra was cooperating with the FBI, who was investigating the IMF/Russian loans. Needing a convenient scapegoat for the murder of Safra, Monaco police subjected Ted to three days of grueling torture designed to extort a false confession from him. (see description in "BASIC TIMELINE" in Thread 1 - http://206.112.97.70/forum/a3ad8b097272d.htm ).
Monaco continues to hold Ted incommunicado, preventing him from sending or receiving mail. In fact, they restrict his communication with his family to one telephone call a week. This call is only allowed to last a few minutes and is always monitored closely to prevent any discussion of the case. Ted is forced by his jailers to take a psychotropic medication and is regularly "interrogated" by the Monaco judge -- Patricia Richet. Reports have been received that Judge Richet is a violent person who has displayed unstable behavior in the past. She allegedly has a history of assaulting a fellow judge, putting him in the hospital for a week. She also tears up letters from Ted's children in front of Ted rather than let him read them.
Hundreds of family, friends, work associates, parents of patients, and Army veterans who served with Ted have vouched for him as being a loyal husband, loving father, and an exemplary professional of great skill and compassion. Ted has also been defended by then-chairman of the House International Relations Committee Ben Gilman and Ted's congresswoman Sue Kelly, who have written Prince Rainier III of Monaco on Ted's behalf. Monaco has no evidence of any crime by Ted; they have no witnesses and no credible case against him. Even worse, Monaco has planted false evidence and suppressed vast amounts of exculpatory evidence -- even passing a special Monaco law that enables them to hold Ted four years without trial.
The Geneva prosecutor has said that Safra was killed for his cooperation with the FBI regarding the laundering through Safra's Republic National Bank of $4.8 billion in IMF loans to Russia.
Regardless of the reason "why," it is obvious that Ted Maher is a scapegoat for a murder by others. We are working to obtain his release and to correct the grave injustice being done to an American Green beret veteran and medical professional.
Ted Maher -- a giver of life, not a taker -- needs our help.

Monaco Guest Book

(also, remember Capt. Edmond Pope.)
(also, remember Capt. Edmond Pope.)
Monaco has for many decades enjoyed long-lasting and intimate ties with the United States and its people.
Yo! Alberto! WAAAAY TOO LONG-LASTING AND INTIMATE WITH TED MAHER!
[This "huge" half mill the old fraud is pushing at Rudy with his gloved hand should not be accepted without at least a mention of Ted--if Sue Kelly isn't comatose.]
A friend suggests that Leo Wanta may shed light on the death of Edmond Safra.
Apparently Tom Hennigan has discussed Leo Wanta with you on your show.
It's said Wanta destabilized the ruble to hasten the collapse of the Soviet Union and victory in the Cold War for the West.
Now he has been framed on tax charges by the state of Wisconsin.
In this he seems so like Martin Armstrong, scapegoated for the crimes of Republic Securities.
And like Ted Maher.
The Geneva prosecutor has said Safra was killed for cooperating with the FBI re the laundering through Safra's Republic of $4.8 billion in IMF loans to Russia--the exact sum which Russia has magically produced recently to pay off its debt. Go figure.
Ted Maher has been scapegoated for the Safra death, and Anne Williamson of Contagion emailed that she always knew Maher to be innocent. Henry Kissinger said at the time that Safra's death was a "vindictive act".
Would there be anything in the career of Leo Wanta which would have brought him into play with either Safra or the Russians using Safra's Republic Bank?
We are told by an Israeli journalist that Pavel Borodin was likely paid his Mabetex kickbacks through Banco del Gottardo which still maintains a branch in La Belle Epoque at 17 Avenue d'Ostende--where Safra died December 3, 1999; and where Safra maintained a branch of Republic National, which is there now as HSBC Republic--Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation said to have Li Ka-shing of Hutchison Whampoa on its board.
Putin bailed Borodin for three million. Now Ted's fate is complicated by the entry into the case by the brothers of Edmond, namely Joseph and Moise, and their legal team headed up by Philippe Lemaire.
The widow Lily is represented by Stanley Arkin from the Amex case in the early '80's and by Brendan Sullivan who defended Oliver North in Iran-Contra. Arkin defended Natasha Kagalovsky of Bank of New York, wife of Konstantin Kagalovsky former head of Menatep Bank.
Prince Albert of Monaco will be in New York giving Rudy a whole half million dollars arising out of Monaco's "long-standing and intimate relationship with America"--and it's all in quarters from laundering money.
Thank you for any light you can shine on the not-unrelated plights of Maher, Martin and Wanta.
