Witness Testimony

JUDICIAL COMMISSION
PURE-VERITAS VALEBIT
EXTRACTED STATEMENT FROM MIRA MAKAR , MA , FCA
Testified on April 16 , 2018 before the I . T . N . J . regarding money flow aspects of transactions involving human trafficking
MIRA MAKAR has operated in the rescue market since 1982 , mainly as principal ; with customer sites in Europe , Crown Dependencies , and Hong Kong . A witness to the Companies Investigation Branch of the DTI since 2005 , Mira has sector specialization in leading teams delivering operating systems in trust and fiduciary , and private banking .
“ My testimony highlighted the money flow aspects of transactions involving human trafficking as evidenced before the Commission , as well as evidencing the laundering of such proceeds .
I drew parallels with mature cross border markets for financial instruments , including those for risk shift , conversion , elimination ; tax evasion product ; as well as the rental on commission of professional firms ’ infrastructures , operating as transaction facilitators in more complex Ponzi schemes .
I testified about highlighting common laundering apparatus , such as bankruptcy courts , operating devices such as ‘ branding ;’ state registers ; property markets ; organs of state ; as well as wealth managers including fiduciary .
My testimony was set out in five sections . These covered :
( i ) money laundering of financial fraud instruments as relied upon and used in human trafficking ( the ‘ apparatus ’ or ‘ machinery ’);
( ii ) demonstrating that articles used in financial fraud in developed markets have a comparable in human trafficking by dint of putting an explicit or implicit price on human life ( to trade or buy out of bondage ) and / or components of deception ( e . g . enticing a person to move in the hope of escape and / or improved prospects );
( iii ) identifying use of ‘ professional ’ firms as fronts . These are facilitators of anonymity . They are rentiers of infrastructures with a plethora of devices in their tool-kit or armoury , including to facilitate obstruction and prolonged alienation with a view to disabling and weakening , including by driving wedges between key relationships of trust .
These devices include putting a price on a Target ’ s head , with transaction commission ‘ paid for ’ out of dissolved Target ’ s estate / standing . The integrity of the whole is a form of hermetic seal . It includes the right to assert oneself , including image . Once broken , it cannot be put together again with glue or otherwise . It is comparable to judicial review after the event which gives a favourable outcome but after the irreparable damage is done ( e . g . closing day centre for the elderly or citizens advice ). Human rights evaporate on death .
A contaminated law enforcement system is one which is permissive of perversity without automatic contempt and curtailment . It will reference ‘ balancing rights ’ rather than recognizing that each human right is absolute and co-exists with each of the other rights severally . The sanctity of human life operated in the judicial system is undermined when
