TOP STORY: Dalli office processed papers for American Ponzi fraudster using false Paraguayan passport in the name of Eloisa Chihan

Mary Swan (an American whose real name is Eloise Corbin), for whom John Dalli’s office processed papers as a Paraguayan citizen called Eloisa Chihan, seen here in the Bahamas in August 2012 with John Dalli and his other daughter Louisa Dalli

John Dalli’s business associate, the fraudster known as Mary Swan/Lady Bird who has been in the news because of a Ponzi scheme she ran with the assistance of John Dalli’s daughters, Claire Gauci Borda and Louisa Dalli, and their companies Corporate Group Ltd and Tyre Ltd, entered Malta using a Paraguayan passport which gave her name as Eloisa Maria Chihan. She also has a Paraguayan identity card (number 939615).

This is another false passport. Mary Swan is a US citizen by birth and her real name is Eloise Corbin, but she does not use an American passport. She is believed to have left Malta last January, by which time her Paraguayan document had expired. I have no details on what document she used to leave the country.

The details of Mary Swan’s Paraguayan passport emerge – serendipitously – through the paperwork processed by Claire Gauci Borda, in her capacity as company secretary to Tyre Ltd, for Nisshangey Chandrakasan’s Malta work permit.

Chandrakasan holds Sri Lankan passport number N2631428. The paperwork for the permit application says “Ms Chandrakasan will be assisting Ms Eloisa Chihan as she is in need of a home-based carer as specified in the doctor’s certificate submitted to ETC.”

Mary Swan met Chandrakasan in prison in Thailand. I have no idea why Chandrakasan was serving time, but Mary Swan had been jailed for trying to enter the country using another false passport (The Philippines) which carried her photograph and gave her name as Suzara Maling. This website has published a scan of that passport.

Swan lived in a flat at 58 High Street, Sliema, where her ‘gold pool’ Ponzi scheme was also headquartered. The flat was rented from Dr Karl German, who was told that she is an evangelical Christian who trades in gold and uses the profits to sustain orphanages in Pakistan and Russia.

You will, meanwhile, be wondering about the man in the scans I have uploaded here of a passport from The Philippines and a Paraguayan identity card. It is clearly the same man, but with two different names and nationalities.

The Philippines passport is, like Mary Swan’s, false. And the Paraguayan identity card is, like Mary Swan’s Paraguayan passport and Paraguayan ID, false too.

The man is Charles Ray Jackson, and up until some months ago, he was living in yet another flat at 58 High Street, Sliema. He is a US citizen and as far as I can gather now holds a valid US passport. He also holds a Maltese identity card (resident alien), which Claire Gauci Borda obtained for him through Tyre Ltd.

Jackson entered Malta using a Paraguayan passport (as false as his Paraguayan ID) as Carlos Chihan, posing as a brother to Mary Swan, who entered Malta as Eloisa Chihan, also with a false Paraguayan passport.

Charles Ray Jackson and Mary Swan were in prison together in Thailand – he having been jailed for the same reason she was: trying to enter the country with a fake The Philippines passport like hers (scan uploaded here).

Charles Ray Jackson and Eloise Corbin (Mary Swan) have been accomplices in fraud for many years. Claire Gauci Borda, through Tyre Ltd, handled the documents for ‘Eloisa Chihan’ and ‘Carlos Chihan’ and carried on doing so even when Carlos Chihan the Paraguayan morphed into a US citizen called Charles Ray Jackson.
