Achilleas Kallakis charged with defrauding two European banks

Posted by Poker Videos on March 5th, 2010

High stakes poker player and Greek tycoon, Achilleas Kallakis, was charged with defrauding two European banks on Monday, March 1, 2010 in London. He had to post £140,000 bail and must report to the Chelsea police station once a week until his court appearance on May 4, 2010. The charges brought against Kallakis carry a possible 10 year prison sentence.

Kallakis was one of the most prominent real estate deal-makers on London’s property scene. He invested more than £850m buying some of London’s most valuable properties including the Department of Health building in Vauxhall and the Home Office’s Immigration and nationality Directorate in Croydon. In 2007, he was said to be developing a 20,000 square foot flat in a St. James Square property that would sell for £105 million, making it the most expensive penthouse apartment in the world. At that point in time, he was ranked the 11th richest Greek in the world worth about £250 million.

As with most businessmen, Kallakis used bank loans to fund his property investments. Problem is, he and his colleague, Alexander Williams, are accused of obtaining such loans fraudulently. The alleged fraud is based on Kallakis’ claims that tenant leases were more expensive and longer than they really were. Allied Irish Bank (AIB) was one of the banks affected by the alleged scam. AIB fronted Kallakis a series of loans over a five-year period for the purchase of UK real estate. In 2008, they became aware of some “issues with the loans”. Upon an AIB investigation, the bank found the tenants of “their” properties to be linked directly to Kallakis. As a result, they immediately seized the properties and sold them at a £56 million loss. Kallakis is also accused of defrauding the Bank of Scotland causing that bank to lose £5 million on a 2008 loan given to Kallakis to refurbish a former ferry into a luxury yacht.

The Serious Fraud Office along with the City of London police began their own investigation of the AIB allegations which lead to a raid of three Kallakis’ properties. Kallakis and Williams are currently charged with two counts of conspiracy to defraud, 13 counts of forgery, five counts of fraud by false representation, two counts of money laundering and one count of obtaining a money transfer by deception. Based on the investigation, the SFO said it “believes that further financial institutions have also been deceived by the suspects”.

High stakes and high risks seem to be among Kallakis’ favorite things. An avid poker player, though far from popular, known as “the Don”, Kallakis made regular trips to Vegas, enrolled with several big-time poker websites and has even been featured on some televised poker games. He has won $359,090 in live poker tournaments which places him third on Greece’s all time money list.

If the allegations hold true and Kallakis is convicted, the once well-respected Greek tycoon will have played his last high-stakes, high-risk game.

Cyril Mouly is wanted by international community for fraud. Cyril is known for being the new high stakes whale playing in Bobby’s room at the Bellagio Casino. Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey would lick their chops at any chance they could get to play him. Unfortunately this is all over now that he’s on the run. High Stakes rail birds were so pleased at the thought of this mystery man that they created a whole thread about him on TWO PLUS TWO and nicknamed him Le Frenchman.

When I heard he was a billionaire and playing the stakes he was playing, I did an hour or two of research on him. All I could find on him was an address in a French wine region. I found it odd at the time that there was no info on this mystery billionaire. This put up a huge red flag in my head at the time. Usually, if your a billionaire, there is going to be a ton of info on you on Google or elsewhere.

Here is translation from French website:

In the palaces of Las Vegas, Cyril Mouly is nicknamed the Frenchman Cyril. This poker player of 34 years of development are hallucinating about poker tables of the largest casinos in the world is actively sought by the Interregional Directorate of Judicial Police (DIPJ) from Bordeaux within a matter of fraud and laundering by organized gangs.

Passed through London a few months ago, Cyril Mouly is now extremely discreet. Struck by an international arrest warrant, he knows that all his alleged accomplices were arrested and indicted. 35 people have been arrested by officers of the Division of Economic and Financial DIPJ. 12 were remanded in custody.

A part of the Treasury

Cyril Mouly founded the company in 2005 IT Dealing in Strasbourg before moving to Paris. Specializing in selling advertisements from administrative directories and trade journals, the company contacted its customers by telephone. The lobbyists have been able to show convincing enough to SMEs but also large groups in France to obtain full payment of money from a very large amount.

SNR Bearings, a leading manufacturer of mechanical bearings of the Hexagon, headquartered in Annecy (Haute-Savoie), has lost almost 6.5 million euros in the case. In October 2007, its chief financial officer would have spent on advertising contracts on several thousand euros, then, at the insistence of lobbyists IT Dealing, he had signed orders to transfer close to 300 000. Model framework, the CFO has signed advertising contracts for three or four years … but this was only the wind.

The Company’s wines from Bordeaux and the Gironde (CVBG) to Parempuyre, was scammed to the tune of 350 000. Pharmaceutical Bouchara-Recordati in the Allier, which show a turnover of 115 million?, Are also among the forty victims.

“IT Dealing spotted the incumbents. Champagne producers have been defrauded, for example, “says a source close to the investigation. “Cyril Mouly pretended to be a part of the Treasury laid off and playing on the naivety of people canvassed, they guarantee the repayment of an amount identical to the bill. Here we touch on organized crime. ”

Initially, he handed out thousands of euros, but soon, he cashed the money and vanished with.

The police investigation began in 2008, following a denunciation of the People’s Bank of the Southwest and the ICC in Pau. In the prefecture of Pyrenees-Atlantiques, bankers have sounded the alarm at the sight of hundreds of thousands of euros on passing the accounts of two customers to be transferred to China.

4 million played at the casino

The investigation commission of the magistrate Cecile Ramonatxo the Interregional Specialized Jurisdiction (Jirsa) Bordeaux show later that these transfers were made by two accomplices, using false invoices to purchase electronic equipment and computer a company that was an empty shell, used for the sole purpose of obtaining the opening of accounts.

A few weeks ago, the wife of Cyril Mouly has been indicted. During the search of his home, investigators found bags and shoe boxes containing tens of thousands of euros and dollars.

Cyril Mouly, presumed innocent until he has been sentenced by a criminal court would have played more than 4 million at the casino between 2007 and 2008. During the same evening in Cannes he would bet close to 300 000. Cyril the Frenchman, long observed by the officers of the executive subcommittee of the races and games, has now disappeared. The PJ has lost track of him since he escaped to British customs.

Cyril is on the run.
