but this article does not state that Tinubu has a case or ever indict him by the US. This is another campaign that lack objectivity. Kashamu case is very different. Oh no! I just wish member of the public do not swallow this fake story

If buhari is to be seen as a credible leader by nigerians and the international community, he will have to distance himself away from tinubu ,this is likely to cause friction between the 2 of them .

There are more pressing issues than deliberating on petty stuff such as this.

since the money was seized due to tax evasion it only logical to conclude the forfeiture is simply an acumulated tax with fine.

^^^^
This is incorrect.

The back and forth is getting tiring. The document you should be interested in is the 1993 court docket. That document (if it is indeed genuine and not a forgery) is also on this thread. That document has the notice of forfeiture of assets and explicitly lists the criteria for this as narcotics trafficking AND involvement in financial transactions which violate certain provisions (as yet unknown to me) of the US legal/criminal code. I referred to the specific section in an earlier post. With what I have stated here, are you still 100% certain that the issue at stake is tax evasion? undecided

No that's not good enough. The header of the article and the bulk of it is devoted to an alleged connection between mr tinubu and alleged narcotics traffickers. There is a reference in the write-up to tinubu's failure to file tax returns and this is described as one of the factors behind the seizure of his assets. However, this matter of failure to file tax returns is at best, a footnote. The real question mark is the alleged narcotics trafficking link - this is the matter that weiss has devoted the bulk of his article to.

Mr. tinubu was not charged with any crime. Agreed. But he paid nearly half a million dollars to the US government for reasons that remain unclear. Why? Most important of all is the court document which actually lists the reasons for the seizure and subsequent forfeiture of assets. Is it not narcotics trafficking that jumps out at you on that page? undecided

Notice how some 'Nigeria' expert in Weiss' article casually tars Nigeria's entire political elite with the same broad brush of illegality because of cases such as this one which we have been discussing for over 10 pages - cases that some posters here are trying desperately to suppress.

The truth will out.

The U.S. Government are corrupt as well. Why did they negotiate with TINUBU and take his 'drug' money if they are sure that he has something to hide? Perhaps the U.S. Authorities should be probed inter Alia. Meanwhile I expect TINUBU to sue the daily Beast for $1 billion, as he has done with AIT and other outfits who has made similar allegations.

My only question though is , why will the US drop such a criminal charge? ? For a fine? Not even probation or parole? something doesn't make sense here. With all these evidences??
Re: US Daily Beast Exposes Tinubu As A Heroin Kingpin by tiger28: 10:33pm On Apr 27, 2015
The US doesn't drop a major drug charge for a fine.

No Sweat. The alleged drug dealing allegation is but a blip, after all this was the crazy 80s. There are no clean politician in the 70s and 90s in Miami, the city as we know it was built on drug money with connivance of the banks and politicians.
what we need to focus on are his alledged activities in Lagos.

I wonder what APC apologists are thinking now.Anyway shame will not allow you guys to admit the truth that your Jagaban is indeed "Jaga-banned" A litmus test for GMB is to probe NNPC if Jonathan were a thief or not,hand Tinubu and Kashamu to go clean themselves up bf the US court.We only had power to the north not "change".God bless Nigeria

A simple google search throws up records of Tinubu & First Heritage Bank's court case with the Illinois Northern District Court. On just one of them, the web page throws up the following information:

USA v. Acct 263226700, et al

Illinois Northern District Court

Case No. 1:93-cv-04483

Judge Honorable John A. Nordberg

Filed July 26, 1993

Nature of Suit 625 Drug Related Seizure of Property


undecided undecided

The website appears genuine. The full details of the suit are available only to registered users of the site. However, no reference to tax evasion was made in the highlights of the suit - none whatsoever. Instead, we have the nature of the suit clearly stated as "drug related seizure of property". undecided

And yet some people come on here to spread the deception that this matter is all about misfiling of tax returns. And some other foul mouthed hypocrites and philistines (you know yourselves) trying to start alternative careers in online hagiography have the nerve to come on here to insult those of us who are asking why Tinubu paid out nearly half a million dollars to the US government in 1993. Once again, we are asking: what was the deal?

Y You come from outer space,so it appears.Not many liked this piece of report bc it indicts your hero but if it is Pro-GMB or Tinubu APC will finish you guys wth lies and propaganda.they will feed 20000 and bring camera to say they fed 25million in 1 year and have spent 500billion. Aregbe is feeding children wth over 1 billion and yet owe salries and ppl don't see antin wrong.it was a project to siphon money for election or where did APC get est 332billion campaign funds or is it the sham public fund raising.APC is more evil than many of you thought.God bless youy
