Banknot war

The US State Department declared Dinara fake printed by Goznak. What does the arrest of the Libyan currency party mean?

On May 29, the US State Department has issued an official statement on the seizure of banknotes of the freshly printed Libyan Dinar Prinaties on the Malta of the Libyan Dinars in the amount of $ 1.1 billion at the exchange rate on May 28.

By virtue of many years ago, the Libyan Central Bank received most of the intermediary schemes through the banknotes through Malta.

The most important term denoting the status of a batch of money, in this widely quoting document - “false”. Moreover, ordered by an illegitimate parallel military-political organization.

Meanwhile, the history of the struggle for Libyan money has a long and glorious tradition. If you get acquainted with its main details, in the statement of the leadership of American diplomacy, significant additions will have to be made.

Money is not always made in the country of walking. The global market for printing banknotes, passports and securities is well developed. Participants know each other well, monitor all the innovations in the methods of protecting bills and act in very high competition.

“Goznak” prints money for more than a dozen countries - at least a billion bills a year, and supplies banknote paper in an even larger number around the world. In this decade, the company in Europe, China, Canada - the list was printed from Russian paper.

For a thousand banknotes, a country that does not know how to print at home gives, according to some issuing companies, from 50 to 180 euros.

Thus, if 1,556,322,681 dinars costing $ 1.1 billion are printed in the very chassis of 50 dinars, there are about 31 million in their arrested party. Their seal in the market costs an average of $ 2.5 million.

This is the income of Goznak JSC, which has been printing dinars for General Haftar since 2016. And the regime of the elderly Field Marshal intentionally advertises this contract as a certificate of international support.

Of course, the set of bills, the conditions of delivery, the degree of complexity of the order of the Haftar in JSC Goznak are unknown and the above approximate calculation is designed only to indicate the procedure for the amounts. But let's take into account that only one party was arrested. Since 2016, Goznak, according to Reuters, put more than 850 tons of bills in Libya in the amount of more than $ 9 billion.

And here a pure policy begins. The country printing money receives an important tool for influence on its customer. She can support the ruling elite of socially close ones and punish morally alien. This is widely practiced. This was done by the USSR, which printed in St. Petersburg Afghani for Karmal and Najibullah, and developed countries do this.

Political circumstances regularly create incidents in this market. It is important for developing countries to accurately calculate where to order money. Any dictator that overthrew the folk democratic regime, any folk democratic regime that overthrew the dictator should first of all think about the reliability of investments and regular supply of banknotes, without which nothing works. Especially in a country where non -cash types of payments are poorly developed.

States that patronize friendly regimes, on occasion, without hesitation, deprive them of money. Of the latest examples, the most visual one is the epic with the arrest of Venezuela gold in England.

Large states, as history teaches us, has long been loved and can well confiscate someone else's gold. Libya also has rich experience: in 2011, on the eve of the overthrow of Gaddafi, the British authorities arrested a party printed under a contract with him and not yet depreciated dinars, equivalent to 1.86 billion pounds.

The British company De La Rue was printed most of the British company - the largest banknote manufacturer in the world, a powerful competitor to Goznak JSC.

Then everything was in accordance with the commentary of Papadopulo from the operetta Milyutin “Wedding in Malinovka”: “Pan Ataman Nam the Golden Reserve, and the lads began to scatter.” The manager of the Central Bank of Libya went over to the side of the rebels, the British arrested Gaddafi's money, the country ended in the country, the crowd was torn to pieces of the poor dictator.

Dinars from Russia have come through Malta for a long time, this arrest is not the first. Last September, the police of a small state arrested containers with a volume of 56 cubic meters stuffed with bills for Haftar when loading into a ship.

It is logical to assume that Malta has been chosen for the transit of money to Libya as a country that has extensive informal ties with North Africa and a government apparatus, which is largely affected by corruption.

According to the latest study of the Central Bank of Malta, the illegal economy (primarily smuggling) gives 21% of GDP.

At the same time, Malta believes that Europe threw her one before the streams of illegal immigrants moving through the island from Libya to Italy, Greece and France.

On May 8, she officially informed the European commission that she faces an “unprecedented crisis”, gigantic volumes of smuggling of people and criminal activities in the Central Mediterranean. On May 24, Prime Minister Robert Abel said in a television interview that the migration crisis can be resolved only if the source of the problem that is in Libya is eliminated.

The country is ready to put on anyone, if only he establishes in Libya ash and order, stopped illegal immigrants. The Maltese, along with the French, saw such a policy in the Haftar.

The non-Libya regimen with the center in Tripoli, who had established in Western Libya, formally led by Saraj, flooded La-Valetta to the self-proclaimed commissioners and return to the people of Gaddafi to $ 150 billion. They give official announcements for a return for 10% “returned” to the specified amount.

Trying to give the process a legal and centralized character of the Maltese, the investigation specialist Abdullah Kablan barely carried away from Tripoli after an attempt to abduct it. Through such a swamp there are goods with the banknotes of Goznak.

After 2011, a split occurred in the Central Bank of Libya - the management of the largest departments in the east announced that he adhered to the traditional procedure for the appointment of a parliament leadership. And the parliament sits in Benghazi, who soon transferred to the control of Haftar.

Bangee and Benghazi did not release any mutual anathemas supporting friendly relations.

The Libyans remembered the story of Gaddafi's money. Haftar ordered money in Goznak, the Islamist government of Tripoli, of course, in De La Rue.

There is a civil war in the country, but all the money, regardless of the seal, is recognized as real and have a walk throughout the territory. So, during the civil war in the Russian -deposited cash surrogates, tsarist money was recognized everywhere.

However, the political assessment of the State Department of Russian Dinars is only part of the picture. Since the beginning of spring, the United States has activated its policy around Libya. The American military plan to use a whole team to stabilize the situation in Tunisia, on the border with Libya. “While Russia continues to inflate the flame of the Libyan conflict, regional security in North Africa causes increased concern,” the US African command said.

The authorities and business of Malta are pressure on the diplomatic channels and through EU structures, they are forced to deal with smuggling Libyan channels. And on May 29, the Libyan audit bureau (LAB), located in Bade and the Loyal House of Representatives in Tobruk, “found” the guilty of the double currency in the smuggling: four Maltese companies - Tax Free Services LTD, AKAKUS International, Sam International and Action Corporation Ltd.

No evidence is given, it is very similar that this is just an attempt to take public attention from the detained party of dinars.

Thus, the arrest of a large cargo of bills from Goznak is the center of the military-political funnel with the center in Malta. Of course, these are not false dinars, according to the State Department. This is a completely legal instrument of Russian power policy in Libya, which they are going to destroy.

The Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation do not comment on the capture of the currency. Perhaps they are urgently looking for a return move.
