Destination Fiji – haven for international fugitives

It looks like we’ve found a new industry to replace tourism and sugar – havens for international fugitives.
The regime’s old friend Peter Foster could move back to Denarau to spruik the service.
Apart from showing the crooks around a bit of real estate he could offer tips on extradition law, or if that happens to fail, tips on jumping off bridges and dodging the propeller of boats or the oars of people chasing him.
One tip I know he always stands by is “always wear decent underpants, you never know when you’ll have to swim for your life in them”.
Thaksin will only be the beginning. Criminals from everywhere could be attracted if he’s granted a bolt-hole.
But don’t expect too much in the way of investment. Thaksin didn’t get to be that rich by investing anywhere expect in places where he knew his returns would be guaranteed.
He knows that all he’d have to invest to get a bolt-hole is a few relatively small amounts in the off-shore account of one VB.
