Exclusive: Pirates' Bill "Davy Jones" Nighy
Bill Nighy may be one of England's most underrated actors, but most people will recognize him from the dour demeanor of his characters and his distinctively dry delivery. Considering the startling appearance of his character Davy Jones in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, it may be the only way to recognize Nighy when he takes on that villainous role. Playing the bad guy is nothing new to Nighy, having cut his teeth with the role of the ancient vampire Viktor in the "Underworld" movies. More people may remember loving him as rock star Billy Mack in Richard Curtis' Love Actually or as Simon Pegg's zombie stepfather in Shaun of the Dead. With that kind of diverse background, it's not surprising that director Gore Verbinski thought Nighy would be the perfect actor to turn Davy Jones into the type of bad guy that fans of the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" would love.Treasury Identifies International Financial Network of Colombia
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today added five individuals and twenty companies tied to Colombia's North Valle drug cartel to its list of Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers (SDNTs). The five individuals act as front persons for North Valle cartel leaders Raul Alberto Grajales Lemos (Raul Grajales) and Carlos Alberto Renteria Mantilla (Beto Renteria). Both Raul Grajales and Beto Renteria have been indicted in the U.S. on charges relating to narcotics trafficking."Today's action exposes a key financial network of the North Valle cartel," said Barbara Hammerle, Acting Director of OFAC. "This network utilizes front companies in Colombia, the United States, Panama, and the British Virgin Islands to move its illicit proceeds. By exposing the financial backbone of Colombian drug cartels through our designation process, we thwart their ability to launder illicit proceeds."
The four newly named Colombian individuals, Francisco Javier Duque Correa, Ricardo Jaar Jacir, Moises Abdal Saieh Muvdi, and Carlos Ernesto Saieh Jamis, represent the interests of Raul Grajales and Beto Renteria in the operation of Casa Estrella and associated companies.
