JPK Affair: Support Committee welcomes decisions from the Chamber of Instruction

(Tahitipresse) - The Support Committee for the search for the truth about the disappearance of Jean-Pascal Couraud "welcomes, in a statement, two recent decisions by the Chamber of Investigation, in Papeete, in the case of the disappearance of journalist Jean-Pascal Couraud, in December 1997."

The first decision concerns, according to the support committee, "the assent of the Chamber of Instruction to ensure that records are kept of the material seized from General Rondot (i.e., in connection with the Clearstream affair, in metropolitan France) referring to Japanese bank accounts (i.e., assumed to belong to the former President of the Republic, Jacques Chirac). "

The committee also referred to a second decision of the Chamber of Investigation that "relates to the withdrawal of Judge Stelmach, and the appointment of another judge to pursue investigations into this matter." According to the committee, "it has become too obvious that the investigation was not conducted with complete objectivity." They added that they now hoped "to talk fairly quickly with the new judge about the merits of the case".

Minister of Justice and Radio France-Inter

Furthermore, in response to a letter from the mother of Jean-Pascal Couraud sent to Rachida Dati, Minister of Justice, in late June, the Chief of Cabinet, in continued support of the committee, "informs us that careful examination of the case is under way by the Director of Criminal Cases and Pardons."

In addition, the radio program "Intercept", which airs on December 16 this year, in metropolitan France on radio France-Inter, will be devoted to the JPK affair. It should also be broadcast on the evening of December 15 in Tahiti, on RFO-radio, on the day of the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of Jean-Pascal Couraud.

An open letter to Oscar Manutahi Temaru

. . . Reasons to keep Maohi media > an open letter to President of French Polynesia, Oscar Manutahi Temaru, 15th December 2011  Kia orana Mr. President, Fourteen years ago today, a journalist named JPK disappeared from the island of Tahiti. To this day, top secret documents remain on file, linked with this journalist, but denied to investigatory judges by a national security commission.  Similar documents also link JPK with a separate investigation into Clearstream, the world's largest bank, a bank for banks. At no time since the era of nuclear testing have people French Polynesia come closer to the raw power of the French state, a savage mafia "melieu" involving intelligence services, judiciary and diplomacy.  Disappearance of Jean-Pascal Couraud on 15th December 1997 saw the loss of an opportunity to expose hidden back-channels of global finance.  A "secret, and secondary, banking system" as it was descri...
