International School of Geneva whistleblower fined for allegedly sham criminalisation process
Geneva judiciary admits it will only consider whistleblower as a defendant and not as complainant!
A Geneva whistleblower claims to have been criminalised by a prosecutor she’s never met without independent legal representation, without consideration for her evidence and records held in several jurisdictions and without any victims' rights or rights under the Swiss Federal Criminal Procedure Code.
She claims that she was prosecuted instead of her criminal complaints, previously referred to the Geneva Judiciary by at least the Geneva Police, the London Metropolitan Police and the Swiss Federal Audit Office.
Complaints about Geneva Public Prosecutor, Olivier Jornot, by the whistleblower were referred back to the Geneva judiciary by the deputy Swiss Public Prosecutor, Ruedi Montanari, in June 2023.
The whistleblower claims to have subjected to a corrupt dehumanising ordeal (including alleged blacklisting, judicial harassment, threats, fraud, data breaches, legal corruption, psychiatric corruption and SLAPP proceedings) for over a decade whilst she has been respectfully requesting transparency and justice, including a reassessment of a grievance she raised at the International School of Geneva with the then DG (Director-General), Vicky Tuck, in 2013 and its context.
The Board at the time included Mark Poole (Virgin 'Special Advisor'), Pascal Emery (Geneva state representative on the Board), Nick Thornton (Czura Thornton), Melaye Ras Work (Efficio) and David Ogden (UN representative).
Subsequent chairpersons include Konstatin Koudriaev, Rebekah Thomas and René Bujard.
Courageous petitioning parents have been raising questions since at least 2022. They recently wrote a note to the school community relating to financial reporting and whistleblowers and refers to the Finance and Administration Director, Laurent Falvert - whose name (along with Poole and Ogden) has appeared in whistleblower court proceedings more than twice. Falvert co-signed allegedly false vexatious criminal complaints about the whistleblower. The school lawyer, Francois Markarian, described the aim to another Geneva lawyer:
"Me Markarian let me understand that their aim was not to have you condemned?but to make you stop this campaign ...".
The whistleblower has respectfully reminded the second prosecutor, Lorena Henry, who criminalised her without even meeting her in a closed court with no witnesses or apparent legal representation, that she has apparently demonstrated a lack of impartiality, through her self-admitted unjustified forced appointment of state and in apparent violation of rights to a fair trial. Even the first prosecutor in this case Judith Levy Owczarkzac, rejected evidence and left the judiciary without reaching conclusions which were well overdue.?

On January 30th, 2024, the whistleblower wrote to Henry raising content and form issues, some of them for the umpteenth time. These include:
Evidence related to Falvert and others provided by petitioning parents at the International School of Geneva) sheds light on financial and other issues at the school. Falvert, the Director of Finance and Administration, has been intimately involved with whistleblower litigation which might, apparently, present conflicts of interest in the continued litigation against whistleblowers. Falvert has been appearing in court, fronting the school in litigation, including a case in which the school was deemed by a judge to fail to respect its own child protection policy (JTPH/439/2021) and in which state representative Pascal Emery is specifically mentioned. Falvert is also the Director of the the School pension fund, which is now paying for the services of Markarian to defend itself after requests for pensions accounting. Another school whistleblower was sent a shoddy procuration to sign over her pension rights. Falvert is also signatory to another seemingly mysterious school foundation with former Board members, Melaye Ras Work and David Ogden as co-signatories. An amount of CHF 9.5 million had been hidden under short-term provisions for donation to this separate but wholly owned yet dormant foundation.
Amongst other things, parents have questioned if and why the school is paying for litigation for management and former Board members. Donation reporting is raised, as are 'benefits' being paid to close family members of key management and severance payments to former directors. Apparently 'Unrestricted funds arising from the School's operations are available for use by management'. Failure to comply with Swiss accounting standards is suggested.
The whistleblower claims that the complaints she has been criminalised over were filed years too late and that the evidence is not credible. Clearly nobody at the International School of Geneva felt that she had coerced or defamed them in 2019 or they would have filed criminal complaints in 2019 rather than filing them immediately after her complaints were filed, including blacklisting and legal corruption, and assigned to a prosecutor in 2021.
Three further allegedly false complaints co-signed by Falvert have apparently been dismissed, but Henry has yet to provide the formal notice of this. Quick to criminalise the whistleblower but slower to exonerate her?
The whistleblower says this is the tip of the iceberg of this tentacular case.
Results of external interventions and investigations, including a labour inspection spanning 2014, 2015 and 2016 and proceedings have not been shared with the staff and the community. Serious whistleblower allegations dating back to 2012, which have apparently proven to be public interest issues, have remained shrouded in secrecy - in spite of potential risks.
This school & its past & present members seem to enjoy immunity & impunity – especially its state representatives on the Board!

9 个月Even though it apparently can't do much, the EU Procedural Law Unit has summed this situation up quite well and noted allegations and evidence of lawyers working against their own clients' best interests. If members of a judiciary (to its very apex) - & politicians - are apparently working for the elite and well-connected few at the expense of the majority in plain view, and lawyers are unable or unwilling to represent their clients' interests in teacher whistleblowing cases (with no accountability, including regulatory), then we are truly headed down the road of moral bankruptcy. #moneytalks #abuseofpower #whistleblower #corruption #childprotection

9 个月Seems unbelievable but I do believe despite. How do we have faith when faith is so destroyed. So sad when you think about it. A grief of belief misplaced.
