A total of 128 banking deposits, directed to the society Magical Mountains of the South and to beliceño Robert Albert Fox, alerted to the ticas authorities on the supposedly irregular movements of money coming from Canada.
These transactions began to register themselves, according to an order of the Supreme Court of Justice of Canada (letter rogatoria), from the 21 of March of 2001, when a first deposit of $100,000 in favor of Magical Mountains of the South was made, of which Fox is their president.
As much the Canadian authorities as the Center of Inteligencia Conjunto Antidrogas (CICAD), determined that through the deposits they entered country $40,000,000 (¢14.640 million to the type of present change).
Apparently, that money is product of a fraud of $100 million committed in Toronto, Canada, by Salim Mohammed Dajim, that in 1999 created Strategic the Sistema company of Commerce and began to sell actions.
The investors supposedly were deceived by Dajim, because she offered to give back $20 to them by each $1 inverted one, situation that never happened.
During three years, hundreds of people put their money in the company.
After the indicated period, the swindle was discovered. Already for that then, part of the booty had been transferred to our country.
Single Magical Mountains of the South received more than $32 million until last April. Soon, there were other deposits to the personal account of Fox.
Tico bond
The relation between this fraud and Costa Rica was originated when a company related to the Canadian began to send money to the accounts of the society and Fox.
The deposits were very high, surpassed much by the $10,000 that the legislation of the country allow for the transactions.
By such reason, the banks Nacional and Costa Rica - of where they were the accounts reported the movements before the General Supervision of Entidades Financieras (SUGEF).
Soon, when the request arrived from aid of Canada, it was confirmed that the money deposited here, apparently, was dirty.
Part of those deposits later was transferred to accounts in other countries, like Switzerland.
The authorities will investigate here to Fox and the societies to which he appears tie, along with other people more.
