ALBANIAN GOVERMENT WOULD NOT WANT THEIR NAME RUBBISHED IN ANY\nFORM. Having heard of the dirty, shameful financial scandal involving\ntheir newest Consul in Nigeria, NITIN SANDESARA. He was immediately\nfired after the Albanian authorities have collated all the facts\nsurrounding the embattled diplomat in Nigeria. He has been ordered\nback to Albania, where as his brother-in-law had been handcuffed and\npresently facing persecution. <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albania’s\nForeign Ministry has fired an Indian serving as its consul of honor\nin Nigeria after learning he was wanted in his country for money\nlaundering. <\/strong>A\nstatement Monday said the ministry interrupted Nitin Sandesara’s\nmandate as a consul in Nigeria because his case “may damage the\n(country’s)\nimage and reputation.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nitin and his\nbrother Cetan Sandesara own the Sterling Biotech company, which they\nused to borrow $725 million from banks there and leave India. <\/strong>Last\nweek Albanian police arrested Cetan’s brother-in-law, identified as\nH.P., 59, while trying to leave the country. He is to be extradited\nto India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is unclear whether the Sandesara brothers are in Albania,\nhow they got the Albanian citizenship last year and how Nitin\nSandesara was promoted to the consul’s post.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
