Replying to @qatarairways
@qatarairways as a business class passenger back in July, I arrived to find my suitcase completely torn open. I reported it at the time and received an acknowledgement but nothing since. I have sent follow up me mails and phoned twice to be told I will be contacted within 48 hour

This is really not a way to retain premium passengers. The reference is LHR4420680. I would be grateful If someone could show the slightest bit of interest @qatarairways

Did you know that it's not just target species at risk from the fishing industry - countless other species, never intended as food, get trapped and killed in fishing nets every day. The truth is, fishing doesn't just take lives - it devastates entire ecosystems. We need to protect marine life before it's too late. 🎦 Credit: Vegan FTA.

Outrage as video shows fox caught in 'barbaric' snare trap on King's Sandringham estate. 😡 No one should be using these vile traps anywhere, and the Royal family should lead the way and not use them. RT if you think snares should be banned. Full Story: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ou… via @DailyMirror.

Hugely disappointing @Expedia who had zero interest in the apartment they rented to us that has faulty Fridge, oven, washing machine, broken curtain rails and broken door handles and after a lengthy conversation all we get is speak to the owners (unresponsive). Very disappointing

We were happy to speak on a panel earlier today at the @UNODC_EA Regional Conference of the East Africa Anti-Corruption Conference on asset recovery challenges & how civil society can help overcome them

Gretta was not just our boss but she was a friend, a sounding board, someone my daughter looked up to and someone that everyone would make time for because she would always make time for them. Thoughts now with her children and partner.
It is with great sadness that we confirm the tragic death of our Managing Director Gretta Fenner in a car accident. Gretta has been an extraordinary force for change in the fight against corruption – both personally and through the Institute that she lovingly and passionately built and led for so many years. We, and our partners and counterparts around the world, will miss her greatly. Her family and friends are in our thoughts as we come to terms with this news. We will keep all informed about plans to honour her memory and celebrate her as she deserves.

DEC joins forces with @BaselInstitute, integrating 3 experts to supercharge anti-money laundering efforts! From enhancing investigations to supporting ACC & NPA, the collaboration aims to expedite asset recovery and fortify the LEIA framework. #MoneyLaundering #Collaboration

If you are thinking about using @Giftpesa_Ke then I wouldn’t bother, it doesn’t work and customer service is non existent. They say they will get back but of course, they don’t. You just end up losing your money

Delighted to be championing @NPAZambia @ACCZambia @DECZambia in their important cooperation here in Vienna this week, those who have stolen funds should be worried
A prime example of how partnership works best. Delighted to work closely with our friends and partners from StAR @returningassets and #IACCC in this GFAR Action Series in support of #Zambia's efforts to return stolen assets. Thanks to the US, UK and France for their leadership.

I have to concur
That dog is cowering in fear. I have dealt with extremely aggressive dogs on a catch pole. The @metpoliceuk need to be held accountable for the barbaric killing of two leashed dogs. A completely avoidable situation. Please sig the Petition! chng.it/VthFCZrg via @UKChange

Very pleased to represent @StolenAssets at this important opening

@KenyaAirways every time I fly from Lusaka I’m told the lounge will soon be available but that was a year ago and it still isn’t. Please advise when you will open one or subscribe to an existing one

@KenyaAirways they say, in the one lounge at KKIA that there are no plans for you to join so either we are being told untruths or you are planning to build your own lounge here. Grateful to know which it is
