Macau billionaire, Ng Lap Seng

MAFIA NEWS
Francis Loreno, 48, described as US citizen but in other reports described as US 'resident'.
Presumed dual citizenship.
Former foreign diplomat from the Dominican Republic, tried in relation to United Nations bribe case at the Manhattan federal court, agrees to cooperate with the US government against co-accused, including former UN General Assembly president (John Ashe 2013-14), and Chinese billionaire: Ng Lap Seng.
The string of charges include: conspiracy, bribery and money laundering +.
John Ashe, former UN General Assembly president and former UN ambassador (Antigua & Barbuda - same location, island Caribbean), allegedly received over $1 million in bribe money.
Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng and John Ashe are on bail, having pleaded 'not guilty'.
Francis Loreno has, however, determined it was in his interests to plead guilty on the weight of the US government's evidence.
KEY:
US District Judge Vernon Broderick ruled that Francis Loreno may not use shield of diplomatic immunity in relation to the charges.
That Lorenzo is a US citizen is cited in article as partially material to the court's decision.
SUMMARY of material from source (orig. Assoc. Press):
http://www.newson6.com/story/31485512/us-citizen-who-served-as-diplomat-pleads-guilty-in-un-case
Ruling:
Lorenzo nonetheless:
-- may claim immunity from prosecution re: official acts performed in relation to diplomatic position
-- is not subject to extradition from USA (as he is a US citizen)
* non-U.S. citizen would be extradited, if accused of criminal acts
* it appears that Lorenzo is a dual citizen

U.N.'s top men in bribe case met at Macau event prior to arrest, it emerges, as Ban Ki-moon expresses 'shock' at corruption allegations
Conference in five-star hotel partly organised by NGO that billionaire tycoon allegedly used to funnel funds to ex-General Assembly president

UPDATED : Thursday, 08 October, 2015, 9:39am
Three of the men at the centre of an alleged bribes-for-influence racket at the highest levels of the United Nations involving a billionaire Macau property tycoon attended a major conference in the city just weeks prior to their arrest by US federal agents.
The conference - in a five-star hotel on the city's casino-dominated Cotai Strip at the end of August - was staged in part by a non-governmental organisation US prosecutors allege Macau tycoon Ng Lap-seng and others used to funnel corrupt funds to former United Nations General Assembly president John Ashe.
More than 200 delegates from 50 countries - including diplomats and politicians - attended the conference. Among them were real estate tycoon Ng - who has long-standing high-level connections to Beijing and Washington - Ashe and Francis Lorenzo, a UN deputy ambassador from the Dominican Republic, who has also been charged in connection with the case.
The conference was also sent a message of support from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who yesterday expressed "shock" at the corruption allegations.
A 37-page US indictment made public yesterday also outlines multiple bribery charges against American-Chinese Shiwei Yan and Heidi Hong Piao.
Prosecutors allege that in exchange for corrupt payments, Ashe made a written request to Ban claiming there was a need to build a UN Conference Centre in Macau. It was never built.
The former UN General Assembly president, who holds Antiguan citizenship and is a US resident, was an ambassador when he wrote the letter, a position he held until November 2014.
Last night a Macau government spokesman said: "In view of the ongoing legal proceedings, the MSAR Government has no comment on the issue. The government has no details regarding the construction project mentioned in news coverage."
News reports from the conference quoted Lorenzo - who is also president of Ng's Sun Kian IP Group Foundation - as saying the event offered an "historic opportunity". Last night a web link to a full list of participants at the conference was not working. Phone calls to the United Nations went unanswered.
Both individually and through the foundation, Ng has worked with the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation, an official arm of the UN that focuses on partnerships among developing countries.
Ng, who is also a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was arrested on September 19 in New York along with associate Jeff Yin for smuggling more than US$4.5 million in cash into the US over a two-year period.
The six are accused of using a fake non-government organisation to carry out the bribery scheme. Lorenzo, the NGO's honorary president, was paid a US$20,000 salary.

COMMENT
Suddenly, the UN is more interesting than I thought.
How cool is the League of Nations backdrop?
OMG ... the UN and all those supranational bodies are some kind of US-Anglo conspiracy!!!!!
That's what I'm backing right now.
The Chinese seem more interesting than I thought.
My concept of things is really tiny ... as in it's a limited sort of black and white little boxy view of things. And then I discover tiny bits of information (like the temple at Macau) that sort of remind me how tiny or limited the overall impression of things is.
It's hard to imagine how big everything is out there ... historians must have amazing 'stretched' brains that can put all the pieces together into some large, cohesive whole, I would think.
I would guess that it is just history repeating itself.
The Portuguese fighting over Macau, the domination of the local population, the monopolisation of trade, the get-rich schemes of the rich and so on, must just be earlier versions of what is happening today.
The scale of things is hard to imagine. It is hard to imaging the vastness of the wealth of individuals, families, corporations etc.
Eg. Bechtel -- impossible for me to picture just how big Bechtel must be, after all those years as a huge contractor across the world.
Corporations and wealthy individuals/families have become the modern-day kings.
And ... I've forgotten what the point of this was.
UN ... the allegations are interesting. But as Americans are involved, I'm inclined to think maybe it's some kind of set-up?
Wish I could just keep looking, but I think I need to crash. :(
