Court documents have brought to light a disturbing case of corruption within the U.S. Department of Justice, where senior officials accepted bribes to falsely charge and imprison Dr. Lal Bhatia. [Reference Court Cases: CR-04-40071-CW, CR-05-00334-SBA, CV-09-05581-SBA and CV-10-00072-SBA] This conspiracy, aimed at protecting individuals involved in large-scale criminal activities, relied on fabricated evidence and corrupt legal processes.
The effort to frame Dr. Bhatia was not merely an isolated case of misconduct. It was part of a larger conspiracy to silence him as he worked to expose criminal enterprises. Court filings reveal that, in exchange for bribes and other favors, officials within the Department of Justice falsely indicted and convicted Dr. Bhatia, ensuring his imprisonment to shield powerful figures from accountability.
In his book, Indicting Goliath, Dr. Bhatia presents an extensive review of the events that led to his false conviction. Drawing on court records, he details how prosecutor Stephen G. Corrigan and FBI Special Agent Janet Berry were key players in this conspiracy. Their goal was clear: protect Mon Wig, a Seattle-based businessman whose involvement in money laundering extended across multiple countries and financial institutions.
The Truth Behind Dr Lal Bhatia Case
Mon Wig’s illegal activities were vast, involving large sums of money moved through major banks, including Barclays, Credit Suisse, and ABN Amro. According to court documents, officials within the U.S. Department of Justice worked to conceal Wig’s crimes by framing Dr. Bhatia for activities he did not commit.
The case against Dr. Bhatia, U.S. v. Dr. Lal Bhatia (Court Case No.: CR-04-40071-CW), reveals the depth of the conspiracy. These court records show how officials manipulated evidence to convict Dr. Bhatia on fabricated charges, protecting Wig’s operations in the process.
Wig’s criminal enterprise involved the transfer of large sums of money from Mexico to the United States through Wachovia Bank, with some of the funds hidden in safe-deposit boxes at the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in London. These illegal transactions, which spanned multiple countries and institutions, were allowed to continue unchecked, protected by corrupt officials.
Despite the overwhelming evidence presented in court, Mon Wig and those involved in the conspiracy against Dr. Bhatia have continued to evade justice. The question remains: why has the U.S. Department of Justice continued to protect these individuals for so long? How were they able to manipulate the legal system so easily?
Dr. Lal Bhatia’s story is one of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds. His wrongful conviction serves as a chilling reminder of how corrupt officials can manipulate the justice system for their own gain.
