Story by : CR Staff Reporters Jailed Canadian Alyn Richard Waage has told -authorities that he is a partner in Haarlem Universal Corporation, Guad-alajara Spanish-language daily El Occidental reported this week. Waage is confined in the Puente Grande Penitentiary outside Guadalajara after being arrested in Puerto Vallarta on April 19 with 4.5 million U.S. dollars in negotiable instruments that he failed to declare. The checks were made out Haarlem Universal Corporation, apparently by investors in a high-interest bearing scheme known as Tri-West Investment. In declarations to police, reported in El Occidental this week, Waage said he was taking the money to deposit in the Saules Bank in the European country of Latvia, when he was stopped by federal police agents at Puerto Vallarta Airport. The newspaper reported that Waage said this was the first time he had taken the checks personally. This task was usually done by an employee of the company called Norman, the brother of Patrick Elder, who was arrested along with Waage on April 19. Tri-West investors have expressed concerns about the situation of the 4.5 million dollars' worth of checks that are now in the hands of Mexican authorities. An official from the federal Attorney General's Office said she could not comment on what may happen to the documents, except that they constitute a major part of the investigation. Meanwhile, cease and desist trade orders have been placed against Tri-West Investments and Haarlem Universal Corporation in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba and in 12 U.S. states.
