“The Maltese millionaire fighting Libya’s corner in Ukraine”. The dots are joining up.

The Maltese millionaire fighting Libya’s corner in Ukraine
After the Ukrainians illegally sold off several other Antonov airplanes belonging to the Libyans, the Govt. in Tripoli called upon its friend and trouble shooter, Shiv Shankaran Nair, a reclusive Maltese millionaire and deal maker, to intercede with the Ukrainians. Shiv Nair has a long history with the new regime in Tripoli, having been involved in the Misurata lifeline, run by his partner Peter Sullivan, during the war. Subsequently he was involved in several secret missions on behalf of the new interim government of Mustafa Abdul Jalil, particularly in tracing funds stolen by members of the ancien regime. Recently Nair has also been active in assisting the Libyans in settling their multi billion debt with Russia. His well known links with Putin’s inner circle have been put at the Libyans’ disposal. In Ukraine , we are told that Nair has prevented any further sale of Libyan aircraft by Antonov, and has managed to get the Ukrainian government to step in and grant protection to the AN124 super cargo plane, which the Antonov factory was trying to seize citing unpaid bills.

So Shiv Nair has a Maltese passport already. Due diligence and zero tolerance to fraudsters indeed. The only transparency in this government is in their morality because it is non-existent. Makes one wonder who the partners of Henley are. Go on Joseph Muscat show us the contracts and documents you have hidden in your closet before you bring this country to its knees because of your greed and shady deals.
[Daphne – Shiv Nair has a British passport. Does he also need a Maltese one? The scheme is supposed to be open only to those who do not hold citizenship of another EU member state already.]
Shiv Nair is based in Malta, and this is where he runs his business empire from. So for anyone except the legally-anally-retentive, he is Maltese, just like Al Fayed is British.
So Shiv Nair is now Maltese? Did he get early delivery of his passport? Did nothing show up in the due diligence process?
As far as I know he has (had?) a British passport so he wouldn’t qualify for the citizenship prostitution scheme.
Why, doesn’t he prostitute himself enough to dictators such as those in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and China?
