Detlev Mehlis and the Mehlis Commission

Hard hitting accusations against another one of America’s henchmen.

Voltaire Network (Talaat Ramih) - The first blow against Mehlis took place when he presented his report to the United Nations, after the revelation of the true biography of Syrian Zuhir Sedik, upon whose testimony he based his accusations against the Syrian and the Lebanese. Sedik recognized, after his arrest in France, that he was accused of fraud and of having received large sums of money for giving false testimony. That fact forced Mehlis to modify and even to eliminate certain parts of his report that he had already given to the press, which he described as a “technical” error, due to the fact that the report was not revised before it was distributed.

The second blow came from a Syrian prisoner in Turkey who revealed the blackmail of which he was a victim. They promised him that he would be released and that he would received large sums of money if he gave false testimony against Syrian officials, which proved Mehlis’s involvement in the manipulation of intelligence services.

The third blow was the revelation that Mehlis himself was working for US intelligence services, an accusation made by the author of the present article during my participation in the program “The opposite opinion” of Al-Jazeera. In that program, I recalled that Mehlis himself had taken for granted Libya’s responsibility in the attack against the La Belle dancing center. Then, the attorney Mehlis hurried to, 15 minutes after Ronald Reagan’s speech in that respect, retake the accusation of the US president on behalf of the German justice. I also revealed that two research centers subsidized by US intelligence paid Mehlis fees that were not in accordance with his work. For example, he received 80,000 dollars in 2003. It is interesting to know that these centers are linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), that defines itself as the “America’s pro-Israel lobby”. The German judge is also a suspect of having relations with several networks of NATO…

The fourth blow is the failure of Mehlis in making Syrian officials yield to his conditions. That failure forced him to accept guarantees from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Russia in regards to the interrogation of Syrian officials in a third country, which did not please the Bush administration, whose plans and interests, of course, have priority.
