Mientras tanto Antoni Martí anuncia que su […]

Ahondan heridas, secuelas de la intervención de BPA, II

16/06/2016/in Andorra, BPA & VALLBANC, En Español /by BankAdmin

Mientras tanto Antoni Martí anuncia que su gobierno se encuentra preparado para desbloquear las cuentas de los miles de clientes fuera de sospecha de Banca Privada de Andorra (BPA) que se vieron afectados por la entidad hace un año, y de paso se prepara para abrir la plaza financiera del Principado a nuevos bancos internacionales.

Estados Unidos denunció en marzo de 2015 que BPA ofrecía servicios de blanqueo de capitales para mafias internacionales del crimen organizado, lo que llevó a las autoridades andorranas a tomar el control de la firma, sin embargo, doce meses después BPA salió limpia – por lo que Estados Unidos tuvo que retirar la temible alerta -, pero miles de cuentas no fueron descongeladas.

Paralelamente la Agencia Estatal de Resolución de Entidades Bancarias (AREB), el organismo que Andorra creó para el rescate bancario, acaba de recibir dos ofertas por Vall Banc de parte de firmas internacionales en ambos casos. Se trata de los fondos de inversión estadounidense J.C. Flowers y del británico Socrates Capital.

El plan del Gobierno andorrano ahora es abrir la plaza financiera andorrana – hasta hoy dominada por una mafia de banqueros locales – a firmas internacionales que ayuden a reforzar la confianza de inversores, clientes y autoridades, perdida en tan solo unos meses para perjuicio del Principado.

La AREB analiza las dos propuestas recibidas por parte de los fondos de inversión y se dispone a adjudicar la firma en los próximos días. El ganador se conocerá previsiblemente antes de finales de este mes.

La premisa con la que AREB trabaja es la de “seleccionar la oferta ganadora que suponga el uso más efectivo de los recursos públicos y sea idónea para los intereses de los futuros clientes y empleados de Vall Banc”, ha dicho el propio organismo en un comunicado.

La ilegal intervención fue provocada por sus débiles controles anti blanqueo de capitales y el alto nivel de corrupción de los directivos de la Banca Privada de Andorra (BPA), y hoy por los ladrones con saco y corbata, Alexandre Saura y Fernando Vázquez de Lapuerta.

Jordi Cinca, ministro de Finanzas de Andorra, miente cuando dice que “después de unos meses de mucha tensión, se tuvo la capacidad de gestionar y se ha devuelto la tranquilidad”, pues aún hay miles de clientes que no han podido recuperar sus ahorros y se les niega toda información sobre las mismas.

Deepened wounds, effects of the intervention of BPA

A year and a half since the illegal intervention of the Banca Privada d’Andorra (BPA), the tension is still present and the Andorran Government cannot breathe relieved. In the aftermath of the scandal and the patrimonial damages suffered by innocent people, there is a threat of a financial quarantine in effect, since the bank did not have the ability to manage and hand out a quick solution to the clients still struggling to recover their funds. Clients that are not giving up, and will go as far as necessary to receive compensation for the collateral damages suffered.

The BPA administration, still hiding behind the negligence in the proceedings of the Executive Board of the Principality specifically that of the Andorran National Institute of Finance (INAF), which has not recognized the damages caused by their intervention of the BPA, and the theft of 365 million euros from thousands of clients.

The struggle in courts by the swindled clients, brought together in a great platform, advised by recognized lawyer firms, is still standing and growing by the day. Like a ball of snow, they threaten to discredit and give the necessary tools to the International Rating Agencies to damage the image and the finance of the Government of Andorra further, currently battered by the national and international press.

The frustrated plan of the Andorran Government (headed by Antoni Martí), to bail out BPA, has caused the current software provider (the US-based IBM), that regulates banking transactions, deposits, transfers and withdrawals, to refuse to renew the license of the services it provides. This makes it even more difficult for the affected clients to retrieve their money in a short term.

Other software companies that offered additional services to BPA may follow behind IBM, which would collapse even further its operation and increase the complexity of the public management of the entity.

Now there are doubts about the solvency of the Principality, a situation that has led to the suspension of the financial operation of BPA, slowing down at the same time the transfer of its assets to the new VallBanc.

Added to this due to the inefficiency, omissions and bureaucracy of the Andorran executives, which promised a plan to resolve the problem, is that yet again new alerts have been turned on by the International Ratings Agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P), which since March of last year had lowered its rating of the bank with a very bad rating.

Also, the conclusions of the audit that PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) performed from the moment that the entity was intervened, which have not been released due to the discrepancies in the results that have emerged, have stained with manure the Government of Martí, who no longer sees how hard they hit him, but how many times.

The tradition was broken as soon as the protection of saving clients was undermined. Clients, with their accounts blocked from the start of the intervention, were faced with impotence when the ‘numbers’ that identified their savings in the bank (numbered accounts – the great attraction of the Andorran financial system), were changed with their first and last names by instructions of the judge in charge.

Finally, the restructuring plan designed by the Executive by means of the State Agency for Resolution of Banking Institutions (AREB), also went down the drain, as its implementation is full of traps and doubts.
