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
(You can write in English on the French page and scroll down to read. Please note they have a tendency to delete messages regarding Ted - not "fairytale-correct.")
Mercuria and AnnaZ will be in touch with Heidi to have her on their next show.
Ted is being prevented from receiving mail or news, or being visited by his priest.
On top of 727 days without trial on an extorted false confession, kidnapping his wife and stealing her passport, threatening their children and suppressing evidence. . .
That's not "the Napoleanic Code"--that's fascism!
BUMP FOR TED!
THIS IS WRONG AND TED JUST HAS TO BE HOME NOW!!!!!!!
A priest in Monaco writes to Sue Kelly to insist that Ted has had two visits from priests every week of his incarceration.
Doing the math:
728 days wrongly imprisoned =
104 weeks wrongly imprisoned
X 2 priests a-visiting =
208 priestly visitations
divided by what a load I think this priest is foisting
equals a fatal disconnect between horsepower and horsesh*t.
Monaco director of juridical matters Patrice Davost also wrote Sue Kelly to assure her that Ted was getting satin sheets and a mint on the pillow.
So the extorted false confession, the sleep deprivation, the four-point restraint, the catheterization, the forcible administration of drugs, the kidnapping of Heidi and the theft by police of her passport, the threats by police on Heidi and the children, the forced necessity of Heidi having to sell their home and car and belongings and work sixteen-hour shifts to feed three young children--
All this is some kind of freaking wonderful CONTEST GRAND PRIZE that she and Ted have won?!
Yo! Father! It is to barf with your gag-a-maggot portrait of wonderfulness!
I am reminded of our poet e. e. cummings who said:
This sent to the above-referenced "priest", either bullied, bribed or shoved into a closet and impersonated by the Monaco thugs:
Just what color is the sky in your world?
You write to a U.S. Congressman that a U.S. citizen held 728 days without trial on the basis of an extorted false confession obtained under extreme duress, four-point restraint, catheterization, sleep deprivation, threats upon the American's kidnapped wife whose U.S. Passport Monaco police thugs stole, as well as threats upon the couple's three young children, all after the brave soul was savagely slashed, claiming he was in fact visited twice weekly for every one of his 104 weeks of outrageous false imprisonment.
You realize of course that your claim cannot be true.
You realize the harm your false claim might have caused--
Might have were the rest of the world as heedless of the truth.
As the thrust of this "priest's" lying epistle is so similar to the compost of juridical affairs minister Patrice Davost, it's likely it's by the same "authors" of that crap, and the extorted false confession. The Monaco moving finger writes, and having writ, flips the bird to the U.S. State Department.
Will Colin Powell muster some firm resolve in interceding on behalf of this innocent and honorable American Green Beret veteran after two years of wrongful imprisonment?
Secretary of State Colin Powell
