Ποια «ελληνική» Κυβέρνηση προστατεύει τον επιχειρηματία Δημήτρη Κοντομηνά και γιατί;

Θα έχει πολύ πλάκα, σύντομα, όταν ο Πρωθυπουργός Αλέξης Τσίπρας θα είναι κατά Αμερική πλευρά να μας πει και εμάς…..για την υπόθεση του Δημήτρη Κοντομηνά….. όταν επιστρέψει…!  Α και να μας πει, εφόσον του πούνε… που είναι και ο Κοντομηνάς….;

Γράφει ο Μανώλης Χατζησάββας, κάνοντας χρήση τις πηγές πληροφοριών στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο και αλλού που μέχρι «χθες» λαμβάναν στην ΕΥΠ για να σπεκουλάρουν οι αρμόδιοι… Για το καλό της πατρίδας μας ΟΛΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΦΟΡΑ

Ο κάθε Ρουμπάτης της ΕΥΠ μέχρι τότε, ας μπει στον «κόπο» εκτός και εάν είναι…. και να μιλήσει με τον τ. «Ρουμπάτη» της ΕΥΠ των Σκοπίων SLOBODAN MOGOEVSKI για να δούμε και εμείς το «φως» το αληθινό με τους «λαδιάρηδες» που προστατεύει το “σύστημα” στην χώρα μας.

ΤΟ ΘΕΜΑ, μα φυσικά δεν είναι άλλο από τις εξαγορές των Γερμανών στην χώρα μας υπο το πρότυπο “MAGYAR TELEKOM”

– New revelations in the old Macedonian Telekom corruption case

A decade old corruption scandal that was never fully revealed and resolved, has returned strongly on the Macedonian political scene this past week. At the center of the scandal is the Macedonian Telecommunications (MT) company, the old Communist monopoly telecom operator that kept its near monopoly position well into independence, even after it was sold to a consortium of the German Deutsche Telekom, the Hungarian Magyar Telekom (Matav), a Greek company and a George Soros led fund in 2000, with the state keeping over 40 percent of the shares.

 

– Former spy chief testifies for his role in the Telekom corruption case

Skopje, 23 September 2015 (MIA) – Macedonian Prosecutor’s Office interrogated Slobodan Bogoevski, former head of the state security service UBK, for his role in the high profile corruption Telekom case, in which Deutsche Telekom and Magyar Telekom are suspected of bribing former Prime Minister Vlado Buckovski and leading officials of the ethnic Albanian coalition partner DUI Ali Ahmeti and Musa Xhaferi, in exchange for keeping the telecommunications market in Macedonia closed to additional competition.

Deutsche Telekom and Magyar Telekom bought little over half of the shares of Macedonian Telecommunications in 2000, in a joint bid with Greek businessman Dimitrios Kontominas and SEEF, a George Soros owned fund as smaller partners. The company, which was the only fixed line operator in Macedonia and was branching into mobile and internet services, remained the dominant telecom operator in the country even as Greek OTE established the smaller Kosmofon mobile operator in 2002, and other even smaller companies tried to offer internet and TV services.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission, which took Deutsche Telekom and Magyar Telekom to court in New York, where the companies settled in 2011 for 95 million USD, claiming they violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE : COMMISSION, : : Plaintiff, : -v- : : ELEK STRAUB, : ANDRÁS BALOGH, and : TAMÁS MORVAI, : : Defendants.

RD: Are you familiar with the name “Dimitris Kondominas”?
SB: Yes, in Greek it is Dimitris Kontominas, it is spelled with “nt”, but it is pronounced with “nd”. That’s the pronunciation. I have known Dimitris Kontominas since 1993, because by decision of the Security of Council of the Republic of Macedonia, held by the President of the Republic of Macedonia, I was commissioned to conduct all secret negotiations with the Greek party, in an attempt to find a solution with the Greek party regarding the problem with the blockage of the Republic of Macedonia by the Greeks. I’m guessing you remember that Greece put an economic block on Macedonia in 1992, and the political problem that arose with the name of the Republic of Macedonia. Considering my function, I was obliged to work on that issue. In this sense, we prepared two packages for negotiations with the Greek party, which I proposed to the representatives of the Greek government. One of them was so called “small package”, it was referring to continuing with economic, cultural and other cooperation between the two nations. And the “big package” was the political problem, which was to be left for resolution some time later, to give it some time for resolution
of some smaller issues and improve relations. This is when I met Dimitris Kontominas. He was one among the peoplewho was in the vicinity of the then Greek Prime Minister Dimitris Mitsotakis, who was a prime minister until December 1993. He was followed by Andreas Papandreou.

RD: Was there a time in 2004 when Mr. Kontominas asked you for help?
SB: We had contacts with him on regular basis even before that, because with the privatisation of Makedonski Telekom, which started in 2000, I organized his contacts with our President and our Prime Minister.
RD: When you say ‘his contacts’, do you mean Mr. Kontominas?
SB: I organized contacts of Mr. Kontominas with our Prime Minister Ljubco Gjeorgjievski, and the then President, the late Boris Trajkovski. In this manner he participated in the negotiations for purchasing certain percent of the shares, and he was the main intermediary in the sale of Makedonski Telekom to the company Stonebridge.
RD: Kontominas?
SB: Kontominas. He was the key intermediary. Thanks to this intermediation, the company Stonebridge gave him 5% of the shares.

RD: And what was your involvement in that transaction?
SB: I was still advisor of the Prime Minister at that time, I organized his meetings with our Prime Minister Ljubco Gjeorgjievski, and the then President, the late Boris Trajkovski. And after that, since I withdrew from my post, they continued with their negotiations. It was all finished with success, with the sale of 51% of the shares in Makedonski Telekom to Stonebridge. He was very grateful that I made this possible for him.
RD: Are you talking about Kontominas?
SB: Yes.
RD: It is helpful instead of saying ‘he’ or ‘him’ to give proper names for the record to be clear.
SB: It was for these reasons that Kontominas contacted me from time to time, on some issues regarding the negotiations, and since I am familiar with the law, I am legal connoisseur, I gave my opinion on the questions that Kontominas had. RD: Are you a licensed lawyer in Macedonia?

SB: I passed the Bar Exam but I never practiced law, since my health condition did not allow me to practice law as an attorney at that time, it is very demanding profession.
RD: In 2004, late 2004, tell me about your communication with Mr. Kontominas.SB: Somewhere in the middle of December 2004, Kontominas called me to ask me to organize a meeting of his team, consisting of Nikos Stavridis, Michalis Kefaloyannis, the two were the first people in Cosmoline, company of Kontominas in Athens, and at the same time Michalis Kefaloyannis was a member of the Steering Board in Makedonski Telekom, representing the capital of Kontominas in Stonebridge. Over the phone he did not say what was the purpose of the meeting he requested, he only stressed that it was very important and urgent, …

RD: Is this Kontominas?
SB: Yes, Kontominas said that it was very important and very urgent that I make possible to provide a meeting for this team with the Prime Minister Buckovski, and if possible, during the same visit to meet the head people of the political party DUI, the Albanian party in Tetovo. I told Kontominas that I will try and ask and I will confirm the very next day, because it was just before the New Year’s holiday, I was not sure if I would be able to find everyone. Luckily, both the prime minister and the head people of the political party DUI were all present and available the next day. I remember, this was immediately before the Catholic Christmas, between the 23 – 25 December, they arrived with the private plane of Kontominas, the team from Athens that I referred to, and the Prime Minister Buckovski met them the same day, this team from Athens that I mentioned. Immediately after meeting with the Prime Minister Buckovski, while still in the Government, they met also the Vice President Musa Xhaferi, who was also Vice President of the political party. After this meeting, I met them, and immediately they continued and travelled to a meeting in Tetovo. In Tetovo, they met Ali Ahmeti, and with Abdilhalim Kasami, Secretary General or Director of the political party. It was after they came back from the meeting in Tetovo that we met in the restaurant ‘Nostalgija’, located in the street Rade Koncar, in the center of Skopje, and they informed me in details of everything they discussed in the meetings during the day.

RD: When you say ‘they informed’ you, who was ‘they’?

SB: It refers to the team led by Michalis Kefaloyannis and Nikos Stavridis; these are the first people in Cosmoline.
RD: And what did they tell you about the meetings?
SB: From the first meeting there was nothing that indicated the later development of events. I was told during out talks during dinner, that with Buckovski, Musa Xhaferi, Ahmeti and Kasami, they discussed about their plan how to overcome all problems in regards with compensation of frequency fees, for which there was dispute during 2003, and 2004, for the problem of possible redundancy and laying off of three hundred employees from Makedonski Telekom, which was aproblem that the Government was very concerned with; and third question was the delay of payment of the dividend from operating of the Makedonski Telekom for the Government, and that, in order to find a solution, they offered the Prime Minister Buckovski, that immediately after the New Year’s holidays they would come with written proposal, on their points of view of overcoming these problems, and at the same time they would offer business plan of how to broaden activities of Makedonski Telekom in the market in Kosovo. At the beginning it all seemed normal and legal until the second meeting.

RD: Tell me about the second meeting.
SB: It was held in the middle of January, after our orthodox Christmas holidays, I cannot remember exactly when, somewhere around January 15. With the private plane of Kontominas, this same team arrived in Skopje again. But this time with them they carried Memorandum of Understanding which in essence, as a working body of text, as draft text, it is almost identical to the Protocol they signed later. And it was them for the first time, after the same round of negotiations, with the Prime Minister Buckovski, Musa Xhaferi, Ahmeti and Kasami, again in Tetovo, and again they stayed for the night in Skopje. It is then that I saw the working text of the Memorandum for the first time.
RD: Who showed you the text of the document?
SB: Michalis Kefaloyannis had the text with him; he was in essence the main negotiator in the talks with Buckovski, Xhaferi, Ahmeti and Kasami.

RD: Do you have any understanding why Mr. Kefaloyannis showed you the document?
SB: It was upon order of Kontominas; Kontominas asked him to show me the document so that I review it and see if I have any comments on this platform of negotiations.
RD: And did you have any comments?
RD: There was nothing serious that I remarked since if you have a look at the Protocol you cannot have any serious comments. However, in the oral negotiations, which they had with Buckovski, conducted by Stavridis and Kefaloyannis, orally they proposed that this Memorandum of Understanding will bring a lot of profit for all of them if the Macedonian Government agrees to postpone the adoption of the new Law on Telecommunications, or otherwise, the Go to postpone the adoption of the bylaws, this in order for the Makedonski Telekom to keep the monopoly position on the Macedonian
market. And second, in return, that they are prepared and willing to make payment of the dividend, which was to be paid any way in accordance with the law, and the compensation for frequency fee, which is legal obligation and obligation from the agreement. And third and most important issue stressed by Kefaloyannis, that fro Deutsche Telekom, the most important issue of all these is to change the decision of the government, not to sell the entire package of shares owned by the Republic of Macedonia in Makedonski Telekom, and to adopt the decision for sale of 9.9% of the shares, because, they were supposed to pay approximately 200 million Euros for the entire package of shares. And this way, with the purchase of 9.9 % of share they would acquire more than 2/3 (two thirds) of ownership in the company, and this in accordance with our legislation will provide them with uninterrupted management of the company, including sale of assets of the company. In this way, they would minimize the interference of the GoM in the management of the Makedonski Telekom. On several occasions Stavridis and Kefaloyannis would stress that the rest of the issues were not that important, as much as it was important to them for the Government to agree to the sale of 9.9% of the shares and rebranding of the Company. READ MORE
