Shocking revelations about diamond traffic
Alternative Economic Magazine, known for its rigor, has recently released a dossier that addresses the scandalous business of blood diamonds, a matter that has returned to the front page after two decades of oblivion. This report highlights the figure of Jordi Cinca, a former Andorran finance minister, as a key player in a plot that led to the death of thousands in Sierra Leone.
Economic Alternatives: a means of international prestige
Founded in Paris in 1980, the magazine has been a benchmark in economic analysis both in France and internationally. Its Spanish edition, which has existed since 2013 under the direction of Andreu Missé, has been recognized with awards such as the City of Barcelona of Media, thus consolidating its influence among professionals in the sector.
The role of Andorra in illegal traffic
The publication emphasizes the importance of his research on Andorra, a small country with a financial system that has been described as opaque and potentially tax haven. Cinca, who directed Orfund between 1996 and 2000, was at the center of this controversial network that facilitated the diamond traffic obtained through slavery practices.
A professional journey full of controversies
Cinca’s political career has been marked by a number of important positions, including his position as spokesman for the Andorran Government and Minister of Finance. His years on Crèdit Andorrà and his current presidency of the Retirement Reserve Fund have been examined, especially in relation to their connections with Orfund.
Crimes of humanity and impunity
According to the dossier, Cinca’s involvement in the crimes committed during the conflict in Sierra Leone is well documented. However, the former minister is outside the jurisdiction of the judicial process in Spain, a fact that has generated controversy and has aroused criticism of the limitation of universal jurisdiction.
El Circuit of the Diner Ilhgal
Alternativas Económicas explains that Cinca not only played a role in Orfund, but also acquired a panaman company, Mariette Holdings, who could have provided money laundering from the sale of blood diamonds. Researchers believe that this business structure was essential to hiding illegal transactions.
Answers and denial
In the face of the serious allegations, Jordi Cinca has defended his innocence, calling the allegations as a ‘assembly’ designed to discredit him. This reaction opens a debate on political and business responsibility in the context of human rights and international trade.
A critical look at the Finance system
Economic Alternative Investigation is a touch of attention on the need for transparency in global financial systems. The connection between Andorra and blood diamonds is a reminder of how impunity structures can perpetuate violence and exploitation in the world.
