Conspiracy - continued 2
In their urgency to charge AML under a seemingly serious accusation, the regime used the term << munitions >>, illicit manufacture of munitions, illicit stocking of raw materials for munitions and illicit transport of munitions.
When challenged to explain on what basis the countermeasures were labelled as munitions, the regime never replied. Never a single expert's statement was produced, a technical report or any other document to support the allegation.
Hiding behind the above forged allegation the regime prevented for seven months AML to have access to its assets. Machinery, raw materials, tooling, finished products and components worth hundreds of thousands. As a consequence major export contracts resulted into multi million losses for the company.
In a further act of intimidation the regime threatened to confiscate tons of chemicals (teflon powder) which had been in transit at the time of the raid and were stopped incoming at the airport cargo. The regime demanded that all two hundred barrels be subjected to thorogouh inspection by the counter-drugs squad !
After failure to discover any drugs the regime inflicted further blows. First they refused to release the 200 barrels unless AML proved that they had been paid for.
Indeed AML had "wire-transferred" in advance the entire value of the ordered material to its supplier. This demand however, namely proof of prepayment, was totally preposterous. It was as if the regime was not aware that "30 days net", "60 days net", even "120 days net" commercial terms do exist in the civilized world ! What would have been the outcome in reclaim of the teflon if AML had not prepaid its supplier (e.g under an agreement for "flexible terms"), nobody could state with certainty. Most probably the material would have been confiscated.
Finally the regime agreed to release the 200 barrels to AML for storage (at rented premises) only after a massive 70% import duty was charged. AML management could hardly believe that this was happening in the GDL, a founder member of the E.U, the custodian of free enterprise and liberalism !
Another act of conspiracy, clearly aiming at the total destruction of the business, was the demand by the state owned bank at first and then by every other bank in the Grand Duchy to to close with short notice the accounts of AML and those of physical persons involved with the two divisions of the company.
Many months after this stage of siege the regime allowed AML to reopen. The company gained access to its valuable assests but it was too late ! The regime had fulfilled its mission ordered by its masters, namely to destroy the countermeasures business of the company. Mission accomplished !
The external observer, visitor of this site and not familiar with the intricacies and complexities of the international arms business (politically correct hypocrites call it "Defence") will be justified to ask questions and have doubts with regards to the claims of AML presented herein. Hence some evidence is provided in the pages which follow.
