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.")
Monaco......"THE 'New' TEXTBOOK example of real, but subtle, ABUSE before the whole worldwide HUMAN-Family!"
Does their 'law' have any 'human' meaning?...Context?
Sad........hmmmmm
5763
Prayer to the God of JACOB!......NOT,....Korah!
MONACO: LET TED COME HOME TO HIS FAMILY NOW!
Amen,......More Grace and Mercy,.......In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!!!
Ted fought the intruders, was cut and scapegoated.
He gave his phone to Edmond and Vivian--but the police would not respond--
Remember, Ted and Edmond and Vivian were calling the police from before the first fire alarm at 4:54 a.m.--
That was Ted holding a candle under a smoke detector--
Of course the police destroyed the tape of that day--
While having the day before and the day after--
Edmond's family suspected Lily--after all, her second husband shot himself twice in the heart--
She got a mere $210 million out of that bit of Vince Fosterism--
As for Vivian's husband--he was seen partying hearty right after her death--
He got two million from Lily's personal funds--
Thus she avoided an insurance investigation--
Extorted false confession, suppressed exculpatory evidence, manufactured incriminating evidence--
Three years of isolation and muzzling, three years of lies--
Actually, when the Monaco prosecutor lies that Ted was on drugs and Princess Grace Hospital proves Serdet lied,
The rest of the coverup is revealed as such.
False in one, false in all.
Monaco, a RICOpality where money is laundered
and Lady Macbeth's bloody hands are de rigeur.
-BTTT-
"Mr Burrell has had not only the steadfast support of his wife Maria who has not attended court purely because she was a witness in this case and was not allowed to do so but also of very close family and all of his friends.
"Many of the Princess's personal friends who rallied behind him and were prepared to give evidence for him and break their silence are also people that he will permanently and enduringly be grateful to.
"We also thank the general public for their support throughout the trial. He has been inundated with letters and messages of support from around the world and we thank those people as well who have kept faith with him."
Edmond Safra's family never accepted Lily.
Edmond's friends have stayed private in their comments as Lily "is a lethal opponent" and "behind all of this".
It's not for nothing that Dunne remarks on the continuing death threats demanding he drop his investigation.
And so it goes, Monaco kidnaps Ted's wife and threatens her and the children to cement Ted's compliance--
Anonymous cockroaches threaten Dunne--
Yet with Ted as with Paul Burrell there is no case.
Amen,......More Grace and Mercy,.......In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!!!
Amen,......More Grace and Mercy,.......In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!!!
Monaco has attempted to block Michael Griffith from defending Ted.
Monaco interrogated Ted without attorney present.
Monaco extorted a false confession under extreme duress.
Monaco maintains the appearance of Ted's compliance by simply gagging him.
Monaco blocks Ted's mail in and out, and phone calls, and visitors.
Monaco restricts Ted to its two stooges Blot and Manasse.
Monaco suppresses exculpatory evidence and manufactures incriminating evidence.
Ted will not be allowed to speak at his own trial.
The attorney Ted chose to defend him will not be allowed to speak at Ted's trial.
Only the Monaco puppets Blot and Manasse will be allowed to speak at Ted's trial.
Monaco is a police state.
-BTTT-
Amen,......More Grace and Mercy,.......In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!!!
We are well aware from Amy Waters Yarsinske, NO ONE LEFT BEHIND: The Lt. Commander Michael Scott Speicher Story that Iraq wrongly holds our fellow American Scott Speicher.
Largely through Amy's efforts, the status of Scott Speicher has been changed and he is being sought by President Bush.
When President Bush publicly mentions our fellow American in foreign hands he is using an existing statute:
Section 1732.
Release of citizens imprisoned by foreign governments
Whenever it is made known to the President that any citizen of the United States has been unjustly deprived of his liberty by or under the authority of any foreign government, it shall be the duty of the President forthwith to demand of that government the reasons of such imprisonment; and if it appears to be wrongful and in violation of the rights of American citizenship, the President shall forthwith demand the release of such citizen, and if the release so demanded is unreasonably delayed or refused, the President shall use such means, not amounting to acts of war and not otherwise prohibited by law, as he may think necessary and proper to obtain or effectuate the release; and all the facts and proceedings relative thereto shall as soon as practicable be communicated by the President to Congress.
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/22/chapters/23/sections/section_1732.html
Ted Maher, innocent of all charges, wrongly held in violation of his civil rights, Monaco law, and several existing international conventions and treaties including those accorded under the United Nations, warrants the intervention of the President of the United States under the above referenced U.S. Code.
President Bush: Please bring AMERICAN Ted Maher home to his family and country now! Thank you.
