FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“Heywood told her that if she thought he was being too greedy, then he
didn’t need to become involved and wouldn’t take a penny of the money, but
he also said he could also expose it,” the first source alleged.
The sources said police suspect the 41-year-old was poisoned by a drink. They
did not know precisely where he died in Chongqing.
The sources said Gu and Heywood, who had lived in China since the early 1990s,
shared a long and close personal relationship, but were not romantically
involved.
The sources did not know details of the offshore transactions that Heywood
facilitated for Gu, but said exposure of the deals would have imperilled her
and her ambitious husband, who was campaigning for promotion to the top
ranks of China’s leadership. Mr Bo has since been ousted over the scandal.
“After Gu Kailai found that Heywood wouldn’t agree to go along and was
even resisting with threats – that he could expose this money with unknown
provenance – then that was a major risk to Gu Kailai and Bo Xilai,”
said the first source.
It was not possible to get official confirmation of the case police are
building against Gu. The Chinese government did not respond to faxed
questions about the case. Some of Bo’s leftist supporters have said the case
could be a campaign to discredit him.
Gu, who is in custody and facing a possible death sentence for murder, and Mr
Bo could not be reached for comment. Neither has been seen since March.
Heywood’s falling-out with Gu followed a period in which she had grown distant
from her ambitious, perpetually busy husband and she had turned to Heywood
as a soulmate, sources said.
“Bo and Gu Kailai had not been a proper husband and wife for years … Gu
Kailai and Heywood had a deep personal relationship and she took the break
between them deeply to heart,” said Wang Kang, a well-connected
Chongqing businessmen who has learned some details of the case from Chinese
officials.
“Her mentality was ‘you betrayed me, and so I’ll get my revenge’,”
Mr Wang said in his office, decorated with pictures of himself meeting
senior officials, including Bo’s late father, the revolutionary veteran Bo
Yibo, a comrade of Mao Tse-tung.
Heywood got to know the powerful family when Bo Xilai was mayor of Dalian in
the 1990s. Heywood helped with getting the couple’s son, Bo Guagua, into an
exclusive British school, Harrow, said one of the sources with police
contacts.
The scandal over Heywood’s death broke in February when Mr Bo’s former police
chief, Wang Lijun, fled to a US consulate after he had confronted Bo with
allegations of Gu’s involvement. He spent about 24 hours inside the
consulate before he left into the hands of Chinese central government
authorities.
Mr Bo was stripped of all his party positions last week, ending his bid to
join the upper echelons of the Chinese leadership at a Party Congress late
this year, and opening the door to jockeying among rivals to get a place in
the new line-up.
It was not immediately clear how Heywood would have helped Gu shift large sums
of money offshore, though China’s capital controls pose a formidable barrier
to anyone trying to move large sums of yuan out of the country.
Chinese leaders’ salaries are not extravagant and there have been questions
about how Mr Bo managed to fund the expensive Western schooling and
lifestyle for his son, Bo Guagua, who also studied at Oxford university and
is enrolled at Harvard. Bo said in March the schools were funded by
scholarships.
The sources alleged there had been no sign of any dispute between Gu and
Heywood until October and November when the argument over funds began. The
lack of a paper trail made it difficult for police to determine how much
money was involved, they added.
Police suspect Heywood took a poisoned drink, according to one of the sources,
and died on Nov. 15. Both sources said Gu was not present at the scene.
