Irish 'involved' in Bolivia 'assassination attempt'

[Cathar]

Oh Dear God....

Bolivian security forces are apparently looking for two more Irish-based securo-monkeys, one of whom is apparently a serving member of the Irish army reserve:


So one private mercenary fresh from the Irish Army and securowork in the Middle East (Iraq?), the other a Hungarian national (now back in Hungary, who had lived in Mayo and knew Dwyer from IRMS (Mayo, IRMS, securo-work, I don't know how that doesn't spell 'Shell').

Dwyer, to whom I gave the benefit of the doubt for along time, MUST have known why he was there in Bolivia. The level of Forrest Gump-like boneheadedness and innocence required would have to be off the scale in order for him not to. Question now is, how many more like him live here?

Hunt for two more Irishmen in Bolivian death plot probe - Times Online

Amazing stuff I think the key factor is also IRMS who have more and more questions to answer. They also have employed several people who work as contractotrs/mercenaries in Iraq during their R&R. (South Africans etc.)

Another point emerging is that many of their employees are not registered with the PSA. Erik Imre Benedek isn't. Gabor Dudog. never registered either and he definitely worked for them. Even Mick Dwyer only had a doorman's licence which wouldnt allow him work at Glengad. IRMS flaunt the law continually and are answerable to nobody. They are not identifiable individually and refuse to give their names contrary to PSA legislation.
Not having access to IRMS records I still believe more than 4 of the original 10 militia cell members worked for IRMS. the 4 are Dwyer,Pistovcák,Dudog & Revesz. Im sure that Tamas Nagy at least also worked for them. Probably more. Daniel Gaspar may also have worked for them...........

I wonder if any of our Irish security services have Uzi weapons with a sereial number close to serial number 46074 like the ones found in Santa Cruz.

Mick Dwyers flight was direct from Madrid the Irish Times is not that reliable a source. Allthough Pistovcák in emails to Flores talked about meeting him in Washington as he was concerned about security.

IRMS seem to have an arrogance borne of a belief that they are licensed to do as they wish. This outfit need urgent investigation. Only problem is I don't trust the Guards to do it...

It is many weeks now since it was apparent that there was a case to answer. The Government is aware of this and chooses not to investigate. Morales was right to guess at complicity.

Cathar- this is heavy duty stuff. If you remember Hugo Acha was a lecturer at some kind of Military Institute in Bolvia. I posted my views that nothing could be assumed about the loyalty of the armed forces. Merle says they are being overhauled.

According to official Carmelo Crespo and Rene Aqueron, the United States National Guard, the former general Chavez Ortiz was involved in the first half of the last decade in a case of smuggling of 390,000 guns and 30 million rounds of ammunition, in According to the indictment, had spent the war in the Balkans, for which Rózsa Flores was a hero.

El proceso abierto por la Fiscalía no llegó a su final porque las Fuerzas de Kosovo, a las que teóricamente estaban destinadas, nunca confirmaron la recepción del envío o negociaciones. The open process by the prosecution came to an end not because the Kosovo Force, which were theoretically intended, never confirmed the receipt of shipment or negotiations.

Algunas de estas armas fueron vistas en recientes disturbios en poder de miembros de la Unión Juvenil Cruceñista, según el experto en material bélico Samuel Montaño. Some of these weapons were seen in the recent disturbances in the hands of members of the Youth Union Cruceños as an expert on war materiel Samuel Montaño.

Another IRMS employee not registered with the PSA.

Another case involving Maura Harrington was an alleged trespass on the Shell site in Glengad and an assault charge on IRMS security man Bobdar Wasneeack

Harrington was described by Mr Wasniak as being “very aggressive”, with Mr Gregors Yeankowsi and Mr Bartish Saboska stating that she looked like “she was drunk”.

None of thes 3 are registered with the PSA

DPP keeps IRMS out of court

IRMS security employers not to appear before court
Mayo Advertiser, May 29, 2009.

Following a request by Judge Mary Devins for the prosecution in an assault case involving Maura Harrington to go back to the DPP in light of recent media reports about the connection between IRMS staff — who were witnesses in the case — and issues in Bolivia in relation to the credibility of these witnesses, and that the security employers may be called into court, Superintendent Frank Walsh outlined that DPP direction was not for the employers to be called into court, that any involvement with the security company outside of the jurisdiction should not be examined, and that evidence should be based on the veracity of the two witnesses.

I think a protest outside IRMS headquarters might be needed to raise attention of the goings on there.

[Breadan O'Connor]

I wonder if any of our Irish security services have Uzi weapons with a sereial number close to serial number 46074 like the ones found in Santa Cruz.

As far as I know the Irish defence forces do not use the uzi.

The Garda emergency response unit does use uzis but to be fair I very much doubt that weapons belonging to the Gardai ended up in Bolivia.

More unregisterd with PSA IRMS employees.
The bus driver Mark O’Shea, a security worker and bus driver for IRMS Security, said he was bringing security staff to Ballina on the day in question. One of his passengers was Keith O’Sullivan another unregistered security guard. Two unregistered IRMS employees giving evidence in court. Appologies Mark O Shea from Dublin is registered.

In other Bolivian News:

HRF Bolivia has been going through some turmoil with 4 of the 7 original founding members resigning. It has attempted to restore its local standing by appointing Lidia Gueiler Tejada as chairperson. She is a former nterim President of Bolivia serving in that role for 9 months in 1979/80. She is 87 and retired from public life in the mid 90’s.

Incidentally Alejandro Melgar who purchased the tickets is son of Jonny Melgar a leading attorney and former vice governor of Santa Cruz.

The HRF Bolivia website/blog is gone as it seems:

...in his case 'arte de la comprensión' should better translate with 'arte de la manipulación'...
