One of the world’s most influential financial and business news sources has cited the Justice for Novikova campaign.
Forbes, published in New York, ran a piece September 3 about forgeries from former Soviet intelligence services.
The analytical article featured Rakhat Aliyevand his reported manufacturing of forgeries to wage litigation campaigns in Europe and the United States, and to attack his critics.
Aliyev was trained by the Soviet KGB and was a major general in Kazakhstan’s successor agency, known as KNB.
Those critics whom Aliyev labels “spies” for Kazakhstan’s secret services range from former US president Bill Clinton and former CIA director James Woolsey, to former British prime minister Tony Blair and a range of other European leaders – as well as the
Justice for Novikova protesters who held a vigil during Aliyev’s Vienna Criminal Court hearing in July.
According to the Forbes piece,
“Other Kazakh KGB ‘spies,’ according to Aliyev’s conspiracy theory, include former Austrian chancellor Heinz Fischer, former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, former Italian prime minister Romano Prodi, and former Polish president Alexander Kwasniewski. He also accuses former president Bill Clinton, former CIA director James Woolsey and other former U.S. officials of conspiring against him. Aliyev claims they are all part of a Kazakhstan KGB plot called ‘Superkhan.’
“Indeed, everyone seems to be a member of this sinister plot. In July, protesters picketed the Vienna Criminal Court demanding justice for the unsolved violent death of Aliyev’s mistress, Anastasiya Novikova. The former TV anchor was thrown from a nine-story window and impaled on a wrought iron fence of the apartment building of Aliyev’s in-laws. Aliyev responded by calling the protestors Kazakhstan intelligence agents, according to his Facebook page.”
The article also mentions Aliyev’s partners, Issam Hourani and Devincci Hourani (also spelled Khorani), although it does not connect them to the Novikova case.
According to the article,
“Working through his in-laws – Issam Hourani and his brother (both of whom are cousins of Mahmud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority) – Aliyev introduced what attorneys call ‘forgery-based litigation’ as plaintiffs in London’s High Court, World Bank tribunals in Paris, and a U.S. District Court in Washington, DC. Judges in each case discovered the forgeries and the documents were withdrawn.”
