Vienna trip of an arms dealer.
The legendary saudi arms dealer Adnan Kashoggi has been negotiating with the kaernter Hypo-Alpe-Adria bank and,
with the help of some international finance artists (not mean’t in a positive way), has taken over control of the small
viennese WMP Bank Inc. The police authority for economic matters is investigating.
For Wolfgang Kulterer the meeting was so vivid that it was as if it had been yesterday: at the end of November the
head and 52% owner of the kaernter regional bank – the Hypo-Alpe-Adria bank Inc. was invited to talks in Vienna’s
Nobel Imperial hotel. A certain Raoul Berthaumieu wanted to introduce the bank boss to a business associate of his.
„I took our company lawyer with me just to be on the safe side“.
In the imperial hotel the banker was introduced to a small, round man with a moustache – none other than Adnan
Kashoggi. The 65 year old saudi businessman earned most of his money in the 70’s, when 80% of US arms trade
went through his hands. Ten years later on this has turned the uncle of Dodi Al-Fayed (the crash victim and
sweet-heart of the british Princess Diana), into a dollar multi-millionaire and one of the worlds richest men. So
quickly had he earned his millions, so quickly have they melted away again. Until now, the luxury and the beautiful
women with which the saudi surrounds himself has been but legend. Then from his 2000 hectare property in the
spanish millionaires dorado of Marbella, Kashoggi travelled to Vienna in order to develop business plans. „Mr
Kashoggi suggested various projects and wanted to open accounts with us“ told Hypo banker Kulterer, „I had
however rejected it“. The meeting in the hotel had been arranged by the Kashoggi confidant Raoul Berthaumieu: The
native canadian first showed up in Vienna the previous summer, when he took over the post of chairman of the
board for the small WMP Bank Inc.
This became possible due to changes brought about by stockholders of the WMP: Through the US-stockholders of
WMP (coming out of the remnants of the Vienna Wiener Immobiliengesellschaft Residenz Inc „real estate agent“) a
US-company of the name of Global Capital Partners Inc. had taken over a dominant roll. Result: The proportion of
Austrian shareholders in the bank (a deeply spread out and complex group), led by the Viennese Wolfgang
Koessner, fell from forty to nine percent. Koessner, together with his female lawyer Ursula Xell Srkeiner, is fighting
against the new owners of the WMP: " the indications are multiplying that a group of major criminals have made
themselves at home at the bank." A FORMAT dossier describes who, through the means of WMP’s reduced bank
license regulations for stockbroker transactions, has since autumn been calling the shots in Vienna’s Schlickgasse 1
(see facsimiles):
Raoul Berthaumieu, 56, officiates as new head of the supervisory board: According to US newspapers, the native
Canadian was already sentenced in 1991 in the US Federal State of Arkansas due to cheque fraud, and has also
appeared in the USA under the name of Lee Sanders. Recently Berthaumieu has been operating from Brussels with
Pacific Federal Inc., and takes care of matters through his weekly visits to Vienna, staying in Vienna’s Imperial hotel
as is suitable for someone of his position. The Kaerntner Hypo Alpe Adria has granted him a hundred million credit
for the financing of two warehouses in Belgium.
As a trusted friend of Berthaumieu, an extremely interesting individual from canadian Vancouver has surfaced; the
native Indian Rakesh Saxena, 48. The meekly mannered finance artist (again a negative implication), came into the
spotlight in June 1996 when at the Bangkok Bank of Commerce, after it came to light that US-billions ($1 = 15.4
Schillings) had disappeared. Subsequent to this the thai authorities have accused Saxena to be responsible for the
collapse the bank, after he famously disappeared with 33 US-billion Schillings ($2.14 US-billion). Saxena, " Thailand
most wanted man" ("Asiaweek "), took off for Vancouver just in time. The Thai authorities seek his immediate return,
but so far in vain. Since the time of the bank failure in Thailand, Adnan Kashoggi and Rakesh Saxena have both
known each other and value the others support: the thai authorities also accuse Kashoggi of being involved in the
collapse of the bank, and have already issued a warrant of arrest against him in 1997. From the dossier it follows
that the duo Saxena/Kashoggi bought at least ten per cent of the Viennese WMP bank in the previous autumn. The
consequence was that before the end of the year the WMP was renamed to the General Commerce bank. Saxena
stated to Format Magazine: " Mr. Kashoggi regards Vienna as an interesting trading centre."
Regarding the day to day operations of the bank, the 52 year-old american Regis Possino has recently been a cause
for concern. Mr Possino has recently set himself up in 172 square metres of luxury in a furnished appartment in
Vienna’s Radisson SAS Palace (monthly rental: 62,500 Schilling/ $4,060), and was unwilling to make any statement
to Format Magazine. According to US newspaper reports, Possino an ex- california state lawyer, is banned from
operating in the industry after receiving convictions for drug dealing and fraud. Hypo bank boss Kulterer, to whom the
WMP bank had likewise granted loans like those to the head of the supervisory board (Berthaumieu), noticed as far
back as October that, according to his own account, strange deals had been carried out at the bank since the
seizure of power. Kulterer stated: "securities transactions with weak shares, whose market price had obviously been
driven up high, were taking place. I reported this in October to the head of bank supervision at the State Treasury. "
The only consequence: On the 16th January 2001 the bank was placed under surveillance.
It is remarkable that Kulterer, despite the turbulant financing for the head of the banks supervisory board (Raoul
Berthaumieu), carried on.
Kika head and Hypo bank President Herbert Koch was informed on the 13th February from Koessners lawyer Xell
Skreiner, about the fact that „the bank is an instrument for the activities of an international group of previously
convicted business criminals ".
After the head of the supervisory board (Berthaumieu) recently broke the agreement made in December with the
Hypo bank on temporary suspension of activity, and through their lawyer Martin Oppitz, lodged a statement of the
facts with the public prosecutor's office in Vienna, the police authority for economic matters has taken up an
investigation into the affair under the act number II-164 / WP/01.
