PN Leadership candidate Alex Perici Calascione's former business partner, Silvan A. Said, has denied being on the run from the authorities for misappropriation of funds.
The allegation was made in an anonymous letter sent to the PN's Ethics Committee yesterday. The letter which was also sent to the media, also lists Perici Calascione's connection through marriage with the Pisani family, shareholders of the Corinthia Group when other shareholders, according to the letter, are members of the Gaddafi family
Silvan A. Said, in a letter to the media, states that he was Perici Calascione's only partner in Fenici Insurance Brokers Ltd and that, while not having been mentioned by name in the anonymous letter which was sent ot the committee, a search on the public records would reveal his identity.
He categorically denied the "unfounded allegations" that he is on the run for misappropriation of funds, calling what was said an outright lie aimed at damaging Perici Calascione's reputation.
Said said that he sold his shareholding in Fenici Insurance Agency Ltd and Fenici Insurance Brokers Ltd back in August 2001. He said that the agreed price was fully honoured by Future Investments Ltd.
He argued that Deloitte audited the company, and an exercise in due diligence was carried out when the sale occurred. He argued he did not owe the company money.
When the sale concluded, he resigned as director of both Fenici Insurance Agency Ltd and Fenici Insurance Brokers Ltd. And had no further conection with the company.
He said that there was never a claim by the new owners of misappropriation of funds, and that the police never questioned him. He said claims that he was on the run are malicious and untrue.
He has been in the Middle East since 2007, he said.
He said that the "anonymous cowards" who wrote the letter made unfounded, criminally libellous accusations in his regard.
