PANJIM: Goa Education Minister Atanasio Monserrate on Sunday said that he could account for all the unaccounted money that was found from him when he was detained at Mumbai airport by Customs officials. Monserrate said that he was carrying Rs 21 lakh in different currencies, and was on his way to Dubai along with his friend and son, when he was intercepted by Customs officials before boarding the flight on Saturday morning.
"I was having traveller's cheques worth USD 25,000 which I had procured last year when I was supposed to go to London for a business trip," the minister said, adding that the cheques remained unspent.
Monserratte said he was also carrying 75,000 Dinar (sic) and Rs 63,000. "I was not informed that one cannot carry such amount of traveller's cheques when you are on a tourist visa. It is allowed only on business visa," the minister said.
He claimed he had visited countries like Russia and Japan with these traveller's cheques. "I did not encash the cheques in India because of the fluctuation of the currency." Monserrate said that he could account for all the money and he had been summoned on April 8 to Mumbai with accounts. "This is not unaccounted money. I can produce all documents," he claimed.
The minister said that he left for Mumbai on Saturday by early morning flight, and was supposed to board flight to Dubai at 10.25 AM. "On the way, I was supposed to pay Rs 1.51 lakh for the maintenance of my flat in Mumbai," Monserrate said, adding that he paid that amount, but was carrying additional Indian currency notes, which were left with him. He said he was carrying foreign currency worth only Rs 21 lakh, and not crores of rupees, as reported by the media. – PTI
Yes he count the money which he has the documents forged after installing ghantis as Mayors of Goan Capital. Which son was he traveling with? was it the rapist,
ReplyDeleteAnother blatant and white lie! Only Digambar Kamat will believe it. For us, this is a usual hearsay and forget, vote for these looters again. Let them take what is little left.
ReplyDeleteAn uneducated Education Minister educating uneducated people to educate themselves. Nice tongue twister!
ReplyDeleteSo he only had lakhs huh? Not crores? I thought he did not even have lakhs,m but only hundreds.
"Ignorance of the law is no defence" being ignorant or claiming to be ignorant of the law doesn't justify once liberty in committing any offence and one is liable and accountable for that offense.
ReplyDeleteEvery criminal trys to justify his or her behavior which is normal,as no one wants to be called a thief although some are MEGA THIEVES in every practical aspect.Its now to our readers and concerned citizens to make the judjement as many a times our very judiciary which is meant to uphold the law has let us down miserably.
Looks like only an Indian minister can "account" for "unaccounted" money. With last years travellers cheques and dinars for next night's dinner, rupee for the soupee, euro to tell the boatman you row, some money left over from the flat maintainance, it is no longer "unaccounted" money, it is all "accounted".
ReplyDeleteHe said he was carrying foreign currency worth oooooonnnnnllllyyyyy Rs 21 lakh, and not crores of rupees
ReplyDelete"Foreign Currency WORTH ONLY 21 LAKHS?"............
If a person goes on vacation with 1,000 rupees to spent, that means he will have at least 100 times more money in his account and at home.
I feel Dubai is a place for Cricket Betting and thats where he was heading for.........
These thieves are not fools, they are very clever. Mr PIG of varca's brother was doing smuggling on his brother's wedding day. mr Monster rat must have thought that customs will be busy because of Cricket world cup finals and took the chance to smuggle loads of currencies.I think this must come from a tip off. God's justice is slow but sure. Hope the dirty rat rot in the jail and take the PIG and the PEPA PIG of varca with him.
ReplyDeleteYou have to understand that Monster Rat is an uneducated soul who was not knowing how much loot from Goa to take in hard currency and deposit abroad. All rats live on scum andspread diseases. Go is already highly infected through the infection spread by the political lollipops who are also known as Crumb Eaters. Monster Rat was just going to Dubai to huck around and conving arguments can be made that a man without education is beyond expectation. A man without education is really amazing, I deem that’s why every country lay so much stress on education, they hope not to lose at the beginning of the races. In Goa, it is OK, Chalta hai, you can be even one illiterate Minister to educat eth whole of the State. Why Monster Rat should give account of his ill-gotten wealth? Digamchor Cowmuth is already having accounts written in black and white. All CHORS move together. Hell and curses with them.
ReplyDeleteLong Live the Truth, Long live the education, Hell with Cowmuth Ministry!
Dont forget the "Whores".All East Europeans,in the Hotels where he has invested his money.
ReplyDeleteHis son was taken along to cure him of his insatiable S££££ desires.
"Peppa Pig" needs money to Pepper her Lips .
ReplyDeleteNice explanation & accountability from an "illiterate" education minister, finances simplified. However we are not convinced. One chor caught, 39 more are in line. Our cries & prayers are being answered.
ReplyDeleteOh yes the half educated ministers can account for every paisa they receive illegally. And they are very good at it that is if the hafta money isn’t paid or short changed, the punishment to the giver is very severe.
ReplyDeleteBabush Monseratte along with Churchill Alemao and Mauvin Godinho are frequent travellers to Dubai.I will not forget Mickky Pacheco here too.
ReplyDeleteThey have all been dealing in Finiancial rackets for years.
Bubush is now trying to teach his " Grandmother how to suck an egg ".
Accompanying him was Nitin, who is claimed to be his accountant.How come he did not know either.
Again why have an accountant, in your entourage and a son that is now also known to have criminal inclinations.
I have had the prevelige to see a photo of Rohit along with his brother,sitting on a bed with semi -clad women.These women were very very young and dressed in bikini outfits.
Anyone looking at these photos would have been shocked.
Coming back to Monseratte, who`s whole life has been criminal.Besides money laundering,he has extorted money while he was in charge of Town & Country planning.
Builders have had to pay extortionate amounts to get approval for their projects.
He also runs other clandestine operations, and all involve money, and prostitution.Abusing women was another part of his growing up.His son Rohit seems to follow this too.
In Monserattes world...Morals do not exist.
He is no doubt to a psychologist and psychriastic a PSYCHOPATH.His son has now accquired these genes too.
Education too, is no part of Rohits life.Goondagiri is.
A thorough investigation of him will shock Goa.
The sooner Monseratte is jailed, along with his family members and Dubai associates,the better for Goa.
He has an answer for everything. Look at him in the video clip, he sounds like a dirty liar. Can he account for what the Rapist son was carrying? Who leaves his father when both are going on a 'vacation' together???? Now we know that the son is not only a Rapist but also a Smuggler! Congratulations, Jennifer, you both have done a great job raising your children! I think we should send out Congratulation cards to Jennifer on doing such a marvelous job of raising rapists and smugglers. Does anyone have an address we can send it to? Unfortunately for us we have to suffer at their hands of these criminals as long as they are alive…..Does anyone know if this is the MonsterRat and his die-hard followers (crumbeates) are planning to attack the Customs Office with stones? It worked before! Anyone have any tubes of Ratol for this family!!! Maybe we could check with Mickkey!.....
