In the United States pursue "fur seals" from the detachment of bin Laden's liquidators

49
American justice is drawing into prosecution Edward "Eddie" Gallacher, a special forces soldier who is accused of killing a captive militant of the Islamic State (* banned in the territory of the Russian Federation), is being increasingly prosecuted. The fighters of the team of sea lions, the liquidators of bin Laden, were suspected of complicity.





Despite the relative lull in the case opened against the special combat operator Edward Gallagher, accused of killing a prisoner militant of the IS, the case was expanded to members of the SEAL 6 team.

Documents including a search warrant and e-mail messages from agents of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service, leaked to the Navy Times sectoral publication, indicate the confiscation of cell phones and electronic communications, allegedly to prove that Gallacher asked colleagues from an elite squad "Fur seals" to prevent justice or revenge on newcomers who issued it to the military police.


"Eddie" Gallagher


Documents and e-mails seem to confirm the theory put forward by Gallagher’s lawyers that military prosecutors are developing the idea of ​​“mutual responsibility” in the ranks of special forces, calling a number of special service personnel “a clique of bad girls”.

Advocates of the accused suspect that prosecutors are trying to prove collusion between Gallagher and members of the SEAL team at California’s Coronado naval base and "fur seals" from other combat teams stationed at the Virginia base.

Investigators want to conduct a forensic examination of phones or otherwise track whether Gallacher has not contacted colleagues from other departments in order to put pressure on witnesses during the investigation. Lawyers do not yet know whose devices were withdrawn.


Edward "Eddie" Gallagher in Iraq


The Gallagher trial was originally set to begin on February 19, but a military judge listening to his case postponed the meeting to 28 in May after civilian defenders complained that the prosecutors had provided many testimonies and had not given time to familiarize themselves with them.

Gallagher does not plead guilty to charges of war crimes related to his mission to Iraq two years ago. A team of prosecutors claim that the commando killed a minor member of ISIS 3 on May 2017 of the year near the Iraqi city of Mosul, and then posed with the corpse.

They also claim that he shot unidentified civilians with his sniper rifle, bragged about the murder, and then threatened and intimidated witnesses who complained to his superiors.

The dossier that the Navy Times collected by journalists testifies that several sea lions have requested immunity from future prosecution in exchange for their testimony against a co-worker or co-worker.

Gallagher has long been declared innocent and claims that the authorities held him in inhuman conditions at the San Diego naval base after his arrest. According to the commando, his arrest took place in a hospital where Eddie Gallagher was undergoing restorative treatment of the effects of a head injury caused by participating in hostilities.

Prosecutors also blamed platoon leader Gallacher Jacob Portie for trying to hide the crimes of his fighter.

Gallagher is attributed to the so-called. A special naval combat rapid response team DEVGRU: it also includes the fighters who destroyed bin Laden. At the same time, the accused commando served in another unit, although he makes friends with the SEAL 6 fighters. Judging by the published data, in the opinion of the prosecutors, he communicated with a part of them in order to conceal the evidence.

This is not the only crime that has recently been accused of "sea lions" from an elite unit. For example, in early March, the US Navy, without giving reasons, postponed the hearing on the murder of the Green Beret in Mali in 2017. Two soldiers of SEAL Team 6 are accused of his death.

Initially, the charges concerned only two special forces: Adam Matthews and his colleague Anthony Dedolph. However, later, two marines from the command of the special operations forces of the ILC were attracted to the charges.

Four operators faced numerous charges, including murder, manslaughter, obstruction of justice, hazing and burglary.

More specifically, the servicemen are accused of assaulting, tying up with scotch tape and strangling staff sergeant Logan Melgar, a non-commissioned officer assigned to the 3 special forces group: the latter caught them stealing military equipment intended for counter-terrorism and intelligence operations in Mali.

Another member of this team, reservist Daniel Corbett, was suddenly detained in Serbia for illegally wearing weapons, despite the fact that he, according to the sources of the American edition of BuzzFed, had a top-secret resolution starting from 2012: Corbett was on the team of the reserve SEAL Team 17. His arrest was linked to the "confrontation between the United States and Russia, and the influence of the Russian Federation in Serbia."

A whole series of events related to the members of the "Sea Fur Seal" team began after the death of 2011 people from DEVGRU and 15 in 7, other representatives of special operations forces in the crash of a NATO helicopter in Afghanistan. Initially it was claimed that the dead were assigned to the team that killed bin Laden, but then the US Navy issued refutations, saying that the dead belonged to the Red squadron, while the Al-Qaida leader (* banned in the Russian Federation) destroyed the Gold squadron.

          Same. The task of the fighter to fight where the country orders. Protecting her interests can be at the other end of the Earth. Politics is another story.

          Fundamentally here another. The murder was not carried out because of operational necessity (which is also prohibited, not any military order is legal and the soldier is obliged to refuse some of them, including in the Russian army). Here it is important that apparently he killed the prisoner without special need, he mocked the body, and then tried to intimidate and harass the unit's recruits (who in general are not some sort of stinkers, but quite adult men with no combat missions behind them).

          Then he came across trying to create a system of avoiding liability, while trying to involve a large number of people in it.

          However, there is another side to the medal: it is quite possible that military prosecutors organized a "witch hunt" by order or on their own initiative in order to rein in the unit or to curry favor.

That the main terrorist died from kidneys back in 2008. according to various sources it was confirmed, and then he worked as a frontman from the CIA, who was murdered and drowned in the ocean so noisily and with various absurdities (why such passions?).

    The prosecution team claims that a special forces soldier killed a minor member of ISIS on May 3, 2017 near the Iraqi city of Mosul, and then posed with a corpse.

    For the murder, or rather the elimination of a terrorist, a medal must be given, and is he an adult or not, what's the difference? He is either a murderer himself or simply joined such, so he had to think with his head, while there was someone to "be friends" with. And maybe he did not pose, but checked the result of his "work".
    So, probably, here it is rather the machinations of spiteful critics who, in turn, want to get rid of an unwanted witness to their "dirty" deeds.
    And it’s just that it’s the inner grandfather’s pin to the Soviets, let them disassemble them inside without any noise.

    When did this happen to us? If my memory is not lost, then "first follow the order, and then complain." This is called, as I was "explained" in the textbook, "statutory relations." Correct if I'm wrong.

    Here is an excerpt from the Charter: "... The order (order) must comply with federal laws, general military regulations and orders of higher commanders (chiefs). When giving an order (order), the commander (chief) must not allow abuse of official powers or their excess.
    Commanders (chiefs) are prohibited from giving orders (orders) that are not related to the performance of military service duties or aimed at violating the legislation of the Russian Federation ... "
    REPEATEDLY refused to fulfill the obviously illegal demands of the commanders (chiefs), despite the formidable shout "This is an order!", In 1998 he was even accused of non-execution of the order, but was acquitted by the decision of 103 of the military court. It's simple - an illegal demand cannot be an order. Dot.
