Attorney van Schoonhoven reply Ecopetrol’s bulletin NYSE
Attorney van Schoonhoven reply Ecopetrol’s bulletin to NYSE and SEC:
Unlike Ecopetrol’s comments that Llanos Oil did not meet its contractual obligations. Ecopetrol approved Llanos Oil for meeting its contractual obligations on 06 February 2003 Llanos and Ministry of Mines approved Llanos Oil’s technical work program 2002 on 17 September 2003.
Contrary to Ecopetrol’s official reply to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Llanos Oil did not loose its court case before The Middle District Court of Florida (and not The Southern District Court as alleged by Ecopetrol). Instead Llanos Oil voluntarily withdrew its case, right after the judge denied Drummond’s four motions “to dismiss”.
Contrary to Ecopetrol’s publication, Ecopertol was not part of the 2005 lawsuit. Instead its then current president and two former officers of Ecopetrol were part of the lawsuit.
Llanos Oil felt that it could not obtain a “Fair Trial” as judge Antoon was also the same judge used in the DEA set up against “Llanos Oil/van Bilderbeeks”.
Contrary to Ecopetrol’s publication, The 7 billion euro claim is 10% advance of damages and not as stated by Ecopetrol the full damages.

Terry Collingsworth letter to Itochu (Japan)
Terry Collingsworth’s letter to Itochu (Japan).
Given Itochu’s unusually strong expression of respect for human rights, the only reasonable explanation for Itochu’s investment in Drummond is that Itochu Japan does not have the facts about Drummond’s direct involvement in war crimes and other major human rights violations in Colombia.

Llanos vs Colombia next court hearing 20 July 2011
Ecopetrol and Colombia have filed a joint defense in which their main arguments appear to be lack of jurisdiction by a Dutch Court and that the case should be argued before Colombian Courts, requesting the Dutch Judge to ignore Llanos’ claims as to lack of judicial guarantees in Colombia amongst others.
This is an authentic statement by Alvaro Uribe, then president of Colombia under whose administration the fraud against Llanos was perpetrated:

Uribe acepta que recomendó asilo a María del Pilar Hurtado
Por: Elespectador.com
“Le comenté a varios compañeros de gobierno, quejosos de que no tenían garantías de la justicia, que buscaran el asilo”, aseguró el expresidente.
Translation: “ I commented to various associates of the government, who complained they had no guarantees of the judicial system, that they should seek asylum”, assured the ex president.
This in defense of yet another accused director of the DAS (also nominated by Uribe) who fled Colombia for “lack of guarantees”:
directora del DAS en Panamá:

A María del Pilar Hurtado le habrían quitado documentos y otros elementos personales.
La ex directora del Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad viajó a Panamá y pidió asilo porque consideró que la Justicia colombiana no le ofreció garantías dentro de la investigación por las interceptaciones ilegales que hizo esa agencia de seguridad contra magistrados, integrantes de la oposición y periodistas.
Translation: “The ex director of the Administrative Department of Security travelled to Panama and requested asylum because she considered that the Colombian Justice did not offer her guarantees within the investigation for illegal wire taps …”

Undisclosed Financial Transaction II
The following log ins of the LLanos Oil web site tookplace after the second postponement solicited by Ecopetrol to the Judge in the Netherlands and seem related to the Undisclosed Financial Transaction:
31-03-2011 The Toronto Stock Exchange Toronto CA
30-03-2011 COLT Telecom Group Limited Amsterdam NL
30-03-2011 Ernst and Young LLP Indianapolis US
29-03-2011 JPMorgan Chase & Co. Columbus US
28-03-2011 IHS Energy Group Stafford US
December 19, 2010
Undisclosed Financial Transaction
A source has informed Llanos Oil, in line with the 2007 false press release, the Drummond oil rights acquired illegally from the Guatapuri contract were assigned at that moment to a prominent Colombian industrialist’s oil company through a to-date non disclosed Toronto stock exchange venture beyond even Colombian governmental knowledge and involving Halliburton, the engineering company previously contracted by Llanos Oil.
December 19, 2010
World File
The World File contains false information received from the US. The World File has been used to frame Llanos Oil and its directors in order to allow the illegitimate transfer of Llanos Oil’s mineral rights to Drummond by tying the alleged laundering activities to Terrorism – see world report WCUID 349554. For this they cooperated with the Colombian Prosecutor Office (Fiscalia) to issue the false “Avalancha Verde” press release on 17 April 2007 upon which the world report was based - see
This was necessary and timed so that the Rafael Garcia statements presented before the Colombian parliament in March of that same year could be ignored and US Ambassador Wood could cite this case as a prime example of successful cooperation in the fight against laundering and terrorism in the Cartagena (Colombia) regional conference of July, 2007 – see
It was further timed for its real intended purpose of an undisclosed financial transaction.
The US authorities still feed the World File with false statements, as Albert van Bilderbeek was never the subject of any proceedings, least in Colombia.

US State Dept recommends partial immunity ex-pres Uribe
With that said, the Plaintiffs in the Drummond case are encouraged by the statement of interest for two reasons. First, the U.S. government is clear that the law does not permit blanket immunity for Uribe as a former head of state. At most Uribe may be extended immunity for any “official acts” taken as President of Colombia. The law is clear, and the U.S. government’s distinction recognizes, that to the extent that Mr. Uribe directed or encouraged or abetted violations of the law of nations, including war crimes and extrajudicial killings, these illegal acts can never be classified as “official acts.” Since Plaintiffs’ allege that Uribe did collaborate extensively with the same AUC terrorists who executed their relatives, the details of his relationship with and assistance to the AUC is outside of any possible immunity.

The Court of Appeals has denied the appeal of the “van Bilderbeeks versus US Justice Department” for release of all documents relating to the “van Bilderbeeks” case under the Freedom of Information Act action (FOIA) on January 14, 2011.
Despite a “DO NOT PUBLISH” order on the FIOA verdict, the FIOA verdict along was apparently timed for and conveyed to Colombia’s news organization primera pagina just one day prior to the January 19, 2011 hearing, in which the law suit Llanos Oil versus Ecopetrol became effective in the court of The Hague.
“Primerapagina” also states that the lawsuit “Llanos Oil versus Ecopetrol” was previously overturned by a higher court, which is not true.

Attorney Terry Collingsworth (currently represents hundreds of Colombian citizens in a lawsuit against the American coal producer, Drummond Company Inc., each of whom had a family member murdered by paramilitary forces working on behalf of Drummond) issues letter to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
The reason for issuing this letter is the recent erroneous reply by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs (minister Verhagen) stating: “Drummond states to be acquitted. It is not possible for the Dutch government to confirm whether Drummond is innocent or guilty”

Attorney Collingsworth informs Minister Verhagen that Llanos Oil has provided web logs confirming that Minister Verhagen, Drummond, Baker & Bots, Ecopetrol and ABN opened and viewed (simultaneously) Collingsworth’s letter to Dutch prime minister Rutte.
Attorney Collingsworth expresses his concerns to Minister Verhagen as according to the weblog of Llanos Oil also Ecopetrol and ABN AMRO BANK were part of what seems a conference among Minister Verhagen, Drummond, Baker & Bots, Ecopetrol, The Colombian Embassy The Hague and ABN AMRO BANK NV.
Is Minister Verhagen trying to protect the interests of Drummond, Ecopetrol and ABN over the interests of Llanos Oil/van Bilderbeeks (as minister Verhagen did with denying Henk van Bilderbeek’s renewal of his Dutch passport, which ultimately was overturned by the Dutch court) and the interests of Colombian victims?

DAS fraud proven by El Tiempo
DAS fraud proven by El Tiempo. The original DAS charges (DAS.SIU report No. 13, Feb. 14, 2003) against Llanos Oil, Ir. Hendrik van Bilderbeek and others state that they belonged to an international organization under leadership of GIORGIO SALE.
El Tiempo newspaper article dated May 15, 2010 clearly states that GIORGIO SALE was free until his arrest in Italy in 2007 despite the Colombian arrests of Sept. 30, 2004; SALE is a resident of Colombia and had no arrest warrants or apparent public investigations there, as GIORGIO SALE was busy entertaining the high Colombian judiciary.
Sustaining this fact and after the arrests of Llanos Oil’s management in Colombia. The US Dept. of Justice issued a Request for Rogatory assistance (25 February 2005) to the Colombian authorities falsely accusing “van Bilderbeeks” and “Llanos Oil” belonging to the “Pannunzi” organization.

Key question: “whether or not Drummond’s Colombian president Jiminez was or was not in Colombia at the time of the union leader assassinations”
President Uribe claimed Drummond’s president was not in Colombia at the time of the union leader assassinations and disclaiming ex-DAS IT Director Rafael Garcia witness testimony confirming that Jiminez was in Colombia during the time of the assassinations .
But, contrary to president Uribe’s statement that president Jiminez was not in Colombia during the time of the union leader assassinations, immigrations documents of the DAS including an interview held by Mr. Jiminez himself with the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo prove the contrary.

Llanos Oil has requested the Security Exchange Commission to further investigate case file no HO1322369 the latest evidenced witness reports accusing the Colombian IRS (DIAN) & FAA (Aerocivil) accused of money laundering through their ABN accounts. This information explains the highly unusual protective stand ABN AMRO BANK NV is taking on behalf of their client “The Colombian Government” to prevent seizure of their ABN accounts by Llanos Oil. This also explains the absolute silence by The Dutch Government in protecting their State Bank and their unusual protective stand in preventing The Colombian Embassy Residence of being seized by Llanos Oil. This being a country with one of the poorest Human Rights records in the world. It also explains the personal intervention by The Dutch Secretary of State Drs. Maxime Verhagen in preventing to issue a Dutch passport to Ir. Hendrik van Bilderbeek.

Court of The Hague grants Llanos Oil seize Ecopetrol assets
Anticipating the decision of “The Court of Amsterdam” not allowing Llanos Oil to seize Ecopetrol accounts at ABN AMRO BANK NV due to a “supposedly” a procedural mistake made by attorneys for Llanos Oil, our attorneys immediately have requested “The Court of The Hague” to grant us again a court summons to allow seizure of Ecopetrol’s accounts at ABN AMRO BANK NV. Based on ABN AMRO BANK’s own admission during the summary proceeding of 12 november 2009 the bank has confirmed existence of Ecopetrol cash funds accounts at ABN AMRO BANK NV.
Until today no reply from ABN AMRO BANK NV.

Judge dismisses Summary Proceeding Llanos vs ABN
Reason for dismissal of the Summary Proceeding is based on a “supposedly” procedural error made by lawyers (Lexence) for Llanos Oil.
22 October 2008, The Court of The Hague granted Llanos Oil to seize assets for a period of six (6) months.
17 April 2009, The Court of The Hague grants Llanos Oil an extension to seize assets for a period of one (1) year valid until 22 April 2010.
According The Court of Amsterdam, lawyers for Llanos Oil should have informed ABN of said extension of one (1) additional year.
Lexence lawyers have argued in front of The Court of Amsterdam “as ABN replied “negative” to our summons there was “no grounds” having to inform ABN of the additional one (1) year extension to seize assets as granted by the Judge of The Court of The Hague”.
Expecting this decision by The Court of The Hague, Lexence lawyers have meanwhile refilled a motion with The Court of The Hague to seize ABN’s assets. The Court of The Hague has granted this motion and Bailiffs on behalf of Lexence Lawyers (Llanos Oil) meanwhile have served ABN with a new summons.
Criminal proceedings are currently under way against ABN AMRO BANK NV.

Judge will rule on Llanos vs ABN on 26 Nov 09
At the centre of the summary proceeding is ABN’s reply of 31 July 2009 to Lexence Law Firm (Llanos Oil) “There was no legal relationship between Ecopetrol S.A. and ABN AMRO BANK N.V. branch offices (anywhere in the world), on the date the garnishment was imposed, in terms of which Ecopetrol S.A. had or could enforce any claim against ABN AMRO BANK N.V.” The statement implies Llanos Oil can and has the jurisdiction to embargo Ecopetrol’s cash accounts at ABN branches as these branches are part of ABN AMRO BANK N.V. and “no legal relationship between Ecopetrol S.A. and ABN AMRO BANK N.V.” can be considered not truthful (De Telegraaf).

U.S. lawyers submit complaint “Llanos Oil vs ABN” to US Federal Reserve
U.S. lawyers submit complaint “Llanos Oil vs ABN” to US Federal Reserve. On behalf of Llanos Oil U.S. Law Firms Winderweedle, Haines Ward & Woodman and Harrison T. Slaughter P.A. submit complaint “Llanos Oil vs ABN” to US Federal Reserve (Chairman Ben Bernanke et al). The basis for this claim is proof of existing Ecopetrol positive cash accounts with ABN AMRO BANK NV – New York Branch. This is the same ABN New York branch that was placed under supervision by the US Federal Reserve for engaging into money laundering practices and fined $80 millions US Dollars in 2005.
ABN AMRO BANK NV acts as banker on behalf of The Colombian Government, Ecopetrol and Drummond all with activities/accounts using “sweep” accounts” in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda (“Black Gold” managed by Adriana Echeverri VP Ecopetrol).
What is the real reason ABN AMRO BANK NV is hiding the truth? Conspiracy, money laundering or otherwise?
