Singapore pastor charged in $19-M fraud case
SINGAPORE - The founder of one of Singapore's richest churches was charged in court Wednesday for allegedly syphoning off nearly $19 million of the congregation's money to support his wife's singing career. Pastor Kong Hee, 47, faced three charges of "criminal breach of trust" relating to the misuse of the funds of the City Harvest Church, one of Singapore's biggest with a membership of over 30,000. Kong was accused of "dishonestly misappropriating monies" from the church's building fund over several years to support the career of his wife Ho Yeow Sun, who had tried to become a music star in the United States. The church, which has affiliates in neighboring Malaysia and other countries, is known for services that resemble pop concerts. The pastor's wife, now in her early 40s, was hoping international stardom would help spread the church's message, according to previous reports in the Singapore media. Four other church executives were charged Wednesday before a district court for aiding Kong and faced other charges for allegedly attempting to misappropriate millions of dollars from the church's funds. Kong and the four others were arrested Tuesday by the Commercial Affairs Department, a police unit set up to fight financial crime, and could face life imprisonment as well as a fine if convicted. They have been suspended from their church positions and are out on bail of Sg$500,000 each, with their passports impounded. On Tuesday, officials overseeing charities estimated that Kong was involved in misappropriating Sg$23 million ($18 million) in church funds but in the charge sheet filed on Wednesday, the total was raised to Sg$24 million. According to court documents, the church funds were channelled through "purported bond investments" in two companies, which were in fact "sham transactions". "They were devised by the accused persons in order to conceal the diversion of the Church's Building Fund to fund Sun Ho's music career... As well as other unauthorised purposes," the documents said. City Harvest is a Christian group listed as a charity. The arrests came after a two-year police investigation. Kong, who appeared in a courtroom filled with supporters as well as local media, stood with a grave expression as charges were laid out against him. After the session, Kong walked out holding hands with his wife, declining to speak to the media as members of his entourage shoved journalists away and tried to prevent photographers from shooting pictures. The couple became minor celebrities in Singapore after launching the church, which officials estimated had net assets of Sg$103 million in 2009. Singapore authorities have cracked down on heads of charities found to have been involved in irregularities. In 2009, a prominent Buddhist monk was jailed for six months for misappropriating hospital funds and lying about it to authorities. ==================== Kekuatan uang.... |

Lord’s Banker ousted: Vatican Bank chief fired in corruption row
The Vatican Bank chief has been dismissed for reportedly leaking documents amid accusations of money laundering. The move comes as the Holy See, embroiled in a chain of financial scandals, is trying to deal with claims of corruption and fraud. The president of the Vatican Bank Ettore Gotti Tedeschi has been ousted after receiving a unanimous vote of no-confidence from bank overseers. The economist, who presided over the institution since 2009, is under investigation by Italian magistrates for alleged money laundering. Gotti Tedeschi is seen as having failed to clean up the image of the bank, perceived as a symbol of the opacity and corruption scandal gripping the Pope’s kingdom. “The board passed a unanimous no-confidence vote against the president… and believes the action is important to maintain the vitality" of the bank, the Vatican said. The ex-chief declined to comment on his dismissal. He told journalists: "I'd rather say nothing, otherwise I'd say ugly things." However in remarks to Reuters, he said: "I have paid for my transparency." In 2010 Italian police launched an investigation against Tedeschi as part of a money-laundering inquiry, and the Vatican said then it was "perplexed and astonished", expressing full confidence in him. Now, the Huffington Post says the Vatican has been shaken by a row over leaked documents and has begun a criminal probe into the source of the leaks, besides setting up a commission of cardinals to look into the matter. Quoting an anonymous source familiar with the Vatican's investigation, the Huffington Post says the banker leaked confidential documents to serve his personal and political interests. Gotti Tedeschi, 67, was named president of the bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, or IOR, in an effort by the Vatican to clear the institution’s name. The Vatican has been in the midst of a scandal over tax fraud and money laundering for several years. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI created a new financial authority to "prevent and oppose illegal financial activity," after an Italian court temporarily seized $33 million from the Vatican Bank as part of the inquiry into Tedesci’s activities. The Pope has launched desperate attempts to wash off the corruption claims after the Moneyval, the Council of Europe's experts on anti-money laundering, set a deadline for the Vatican to prove it can be put on to the "white list" of financially virtuous countries. The body prepares to rule at the beginning of July on whether the Holy See has managed to clean up its act and meet international monetary standards on financial transactions. The Vatican Bank was created during World War II to manage assets destined for religious or charitable works and has seen several financial scandals in the past decades. http://www.rt.com/news/vatican-bank-...orruption-185/ |

bunyi kemerincing koin uang bikin wahyu Sang Khalik tak terdengar.
gak peduli apa agamanya, semuanya terekspos dengan kemungkinan penyalahgunaan kekuasaan, terutama yang nyangkut uang.. bener kata orang pinter.. makin tinggi ilmunya, makin sulit ujiannya. makin banyak uangnya, makin berat godaannya.. barangkali ini kalau kita menganggap agama sebagai mata pencaharian. maka sebisa mungkin oknum akan mencari celah untuk memperkaya diri sendiri.... ~gusmoksa mode : Active |
