Re: Liabilities and Responsibilities of the Office of Legal Affairs of
Secretariat-general of Interpol
Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this letter is to stress the Office of Legal Affairs of Secretariat-general of Interpol’s
liabilities associated around the uncorrected issues involving Marc Campus and the responsibilities of the
Office of Legal Affairs of Secretariat-general of Interpol to repair these issues. As a result of the
organization’s failure to abide by its own objectives of civil protection, Marc Campus’ personal reputation
and business dealings have been damaged considerably.
There is clear evidence that the Office of Legal Affairs of Secretariat-general of Interpol
- has breached its duty of care and violated Marc’s civil rights
- has continued to allow uncorrected information to be disclosed for many years and will not comply to
the repeated requests from several individuals to correct the misinformation which makes the
organizations actions intentional
- has failed to take the appropriate steps to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information
disclosed and failed to change or delete any information no longer accurate
- has caused severe harm to Marc Campus’ personal reputation and his businesses endeavors which
should be restored by providing a “good faith” settlement so that Marc Campus can protect his new
business interests
BACKGROUND
In the early 1980s, Marc Campus entered into a marketing and manufacturing agreement with George F.
Epps - EXCELLANCE, Inc. (www.Excellance.com - www.southernmuseumofflight.org/AAHOF_Epps.html) to
build Marc’s High Tech Aluminum Horse-Trailers. Issues were raised about the business agreement due
to political reasons. As a result, Marc was falsely accused in France of business irregularities in
connection with the investments made with his businesses in the United States. Marc Campus was initially
convicted of the allegations; however, on appeal in 1985, Marc’s accusers recanted their accusations and
Marc was cleared of all charges.
In spite of this discharge and the fact that the conviction should not have appeared in any of Interpol’s
files after 1985, the inaccurate information was disclosed in 1991, 1996, 1998 and 2006. As a direct
result of this false disclosure, Marc Campus had new business agreements destroyed which cost him and
his companies millions of dollars in loss.
Marc has repeatedly requested that this information be corrected through several documented telephone
calls and correspondence exchange with Marc, the Commission for Control of Interpol’s Files, USNCB,
FBI, etc. In 2006, Marc was told by a legal US adviser at the USNCB that it is up to Interpol France to
disclose proper information or correct any erroneous information. The Commission for Control of Interpol’
s Files stated in its May 15, 2007 letter that “it is within the responsibility of the National Central Office to
undertake any proper step to ensure itself of its exactitude and its topicality.” Yet, still to this date the
wrong information has not been corrected by any agency or organ within Interpol. As a direct
consequence, the United States agencies have continued to only acknowledge the initial conviction of
1983 and have failed to recognize the fact that Marc Campus was cleared of all charges in 1985. This
breach of care has been and continues to be extremely detrimental to Marc Campus and his business
endeavors. This miscarriage of justice to Marc Campus has caused severe damage to his ability to realize
the potential for successful participation in his industry.
LIABILITY
On September 5, 2006, Marc Campus sent a request to USNCB requesting documentation of the
information contained in his records. Marc received a reply from USNCB with a copy of his file that
contained only the 1983 false conviction. Marc replied with a fax that contained evidence of his 1985
dismissal. After Marc filed an appeal, Marc was denied an expungement of the record containing the false
information because he was told by USNCB that is was the responsibility of Interpol France to correct any
misinformation.
Subsequently, Marc tried to go through the proper channels and request the Commission for Control of
Interpol’s Files to correct the information so he could start the repair to his reputation. However, Marc
received a letter dated May 15, 2007 explaining it is the responsibility of the National Central Office of
Interpol to take the proper steps to ensure that the misinformation is corrected.
Marc’s claim is a type of claim that is governed by Article 5 of the ICPO-Interpol Rules on Processing of
Information for the Purposes of International Police Cooperation. Article 5 clearly states: (1) The NCBs
remain responsible for the information they communicate through the police information system and which
may be recorded in the organization’s files; (2) They must take steps to ensure that the information still
fulfils the conditions for being processed by the organization; (3) They must take any appropriate steps to
ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information and inform the General Secretariat of any change
or deletion that needs to be carried out; and (4) Prior to the use of any information obtained through the
ICPO-Interpol information system, the NCBs must check with the General Secretariat and the source of
the information to ensure that the information is still accurate and relevant. Article 5 clearly provides that
the NCBs have a huge duty of care in the handling of and assurance of correct information that they may
communicate. And, this type of breach will subject the organization to explain its actions in front of a Court.
The rules mentioned above was adopted to avoid the type of harm Marc has had to suffer for many years.
Marc has been denied his individual rights with no means to seek a resolution. All of his attempts have
been ignored which continues the violation over and over again until this matter is resolved. Marc has had
to endure the considerable hardship of losing millions and millions of dollars all because an organization
was not abiding by its objective which is to “ensure that its processing of information for the purpose of
information for the purpose of international police cooperation does not wrongfully encroach on the
privacy of persons.”
Liability in this matter is clear. Marc potentially had a successful business and previously had a great
reputation. However, because of a violation of his civil rights through no fault of his own, he missed out on
huge business opportunities. This failure to correct misinformation has become intentional due to the
extent of time it has taken for anyone to even acknowledge Marc’s repeated requests. There is no doubt
that Marc can receive a huge judgment in the US courts due to passed time, financial loss,
defamation/slander, etc he has had to endure over these past years.
DEMAND
The facts of Marc’s underlying claim are overwhelmingly in his favor as all of the elements for proving that
he was denied his civil rights/liberties by ICPO for many years causing Marc to suffer damage to his
personal reputation and missed business opportunities. Marc has a great deal of documentation to
support all of the facts stated above. Marc attempted to go through the proper channels to have the
records corrected but has received no legitimate response or action. Marc has lost years of progress with
his various companies and his right to carry on legal trade has been severely infringed.
ICPO’s actions fall below the standards of care it has insisted from its own organization. Based on the
huge amount of damages, Marc Campus and the CS 1 Group Legal Office Co. is demanding that the
Office of Legal Affairs of Secretariat-general of Interpol pay an advance partial payment to start the repair
process without additional delay and to allow Marc Campus and his various companies to efficiently
protect their new business interests. Please contact us by written response within fifteen (15) days of the
date of this letter. Please have your response sent to Marc Campus and CS 1 Group Legal Office Co., .
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
