Sandline Says They're Not Defunct
Tuesday, March 23, 2004
Here is a fun write-up of the whole N4610 situation from ZWNews.com plus some great corrections at the bottom:
From ZWNEWS:
Correction
Sandline International have objected to the text of a the above article. Mr Michael Grunberg, speaking for the company, says:
1. "Sandline is not a "defunct" company. It is very much in operation."
2. "The company is not gtied toh Mr Mann. Mr Mann has had no involvement with Sandline since its inception in 1997."
The New York Times have published the following correction:
"An article yesterday about a foiled coup attempt in Equatorial Guinea misstated the status of a company tied to one of the mercenaries accused in the plot. Sandline International, a private military contractor cited for its activity in Africa in the 1990fs, is still functioning; it is not defunct".
One wonders what business the non-defunct company is doing. Michael Grunberg is the Sandline accountant who helped the company, allegedly, appropriate tens of millions of dollars from the government of Papua New Guinea for unneccessay mercenary service that if carried out could have resulted in a slaughter of the native people.
