Range CBI financial infrastructure: Dominica CBI escrow held at National Commercial Bank of Dominica. Dominica does NOT require escrow accounts to be held in-country. Zampolli alleged USD 30M distributed from Bank of Dominica account in Geneva to Asaria/Shehada. Range disputed this, stating no Bank of Dominica exists in Geneva. CBI investment thresholds: St Kitts USD 400-430K, Dominica USD 220K, Grenada USD 270K. Buyback guarantee at original price after 5 years.

Range UAE expansion 2020+: Range RAK developing 2500+ units across 6+ projects on Al Marjan Island Ras Al Khaimah. Projects: Beach House (88 apts), Beach Residences (420 apts + 11 townhouses), Beach Vista (151 apts), Island Heights (165 apts), Costa Mare (1023 residences across 3 buildings). Range Luxury: Dubai villas (Silk Leaf Villas, R9 Mansion Al Barari, Villa R8). Total UAE pipeline dwarfs Caribbean portfolio. UAE operation is conventional real estate, not CBI-funded -- uses Golden Visa eligibility (AED 2M+ investment) as marketing tool.

Range rebutted M Geneva allegation: 'there is no Bank of Dominica in Geneva'

In response to Zampolli's allegations that M was distributed from a Bank of Dominica account in Geneva to Asaria and Shehada, Range Developments stated that 'there is no Bank of Dominica in Geneva, demonstrating how spurious the claims are.' The Zampolli lawsuit filed July 17 2019 in NY Supreme Court alleges: 800 family passports sold at ,000 each = M gross project income, M distributed to Asaria/Shehada. Zampolli claims 5% of development profits (>M). Judge Rakower Oct 2019: ordered Range Capital Partners (Dominica) Ltd to respond to subpoena duces tecum within 30 days. All other relief denied.

Range Developments Group is the largest non-subject hub (degree 18, betweenness 0.268, rank #3). It anchors the Caribbean CBI corporate network with 14 non-subject edges. Extremely low clustering (0.039) indicates it is the sole organizational nexus for a sprawling subsidiary network.

Range Developments Group connects 18 entities including: 6+ Range-branded subsidiaries (Range Capital Partners, Range Capital Markets, Range Hospitality, Range RAK, Range Luxury, Range International Consultants), key individuals (Mohammed Asaria, Kamal Shehada, Munaf Ali, Simon Gluck, Alykhan Karmali, Ali Hussein Alnemer), and sister entities (Range Developments, Range Developments Grenada/Limited). The near-zero clustering (0.039) shows these subsidiaries and personnel are isolated from each other, flowing through the parent. This is a classic holding company control structure.

Range Developments ICC arbitration outcome: Zampolli counterclaims dismissed by tribunal. Range obtained English High Court anti-suit injunction (Justice Butcher, 28 Feb 2019 interim; Justice Waksman, 15 Mar 2019 final order, costs GBP 61,896.50 awarded against Zampolli). Separately, Newton and Mack found liable for tortious interference and defamation against Asaria/Range in DeKalb County Court Georgia -- damages in millions. Also Hayes v Hyatt (NCWB, 2025, Docket 25-03091) adversary proceeding in bankruptcy naming Range Developments Ltd and Christophe Harbour.

Grenada Land Actors Inc v PDA/Range Development Grenada Ltd: Environmental lawsuit challenging La Sagesse resort EIA. Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court of Appeal ruled Oct 2024 that case can proceed. Allegations: salt pond at La Sagesse backfilled in breach of Integrated Coastal Zone Management Act 2019, EIA not accounted for backfilling. GLA demands halt to further works, repair of environmental damage.

OCCRP Passports of Caribbean (Oct 2023): Range third-party client list included Asadullah Khalid (Afghan ex-intelligence chief, accused torturer, passport 2017), Rifai family (Jordanian), and others among 7700 identified Dominican passport purchasers. Range response: applicants only invested once qualified by government due diligence. UK imposed visa requirements on Dominican citizens 2023 citing clear and evident abuse. Dominica CBI generated approx USD 5M/month per PM Skerrit.

Range Kempinski-to-IHG rebrand: Cabrits Resort Dominica switched from Kempinski Hotels management to IHG InterContinental brand end of March 2023. Range also chose IHG for Grenada projects (InterContinental Grenada La Sagesse). Kempinski departure reason unstated but coincides with OCCRP investigation period (published Oct 2023). Xavier Destribats (Kempinski COO Americas) was named co-defendant in Zampolli 2019 lawsuit alongside NH.TT Construction (NH International Caribbean Ltd, Trinidad-based, largest Caribbean contractor).

Parent entity jurisdiction still unidentified — not UK, not DIFC, likely offshore (BVI/Cayman) or UAE mainland

Despite extensive searching, the incorporation jurisdiction of Range Developments Group (the parent entity) remains unknown. NOT found in: UK Companies House (the Bristol Range Developments Ltd #10287038 is unrelated), DIFC public register (inaccessible/no results), ADGM public register, NY DOS. The entity operates from Dubai (Boulevard Plaza) and London (76 Davies St W1K 5RF). T&Cs specify England & Wales governing law but this does not imply UK incorporation. The predecessor entity Range Hospitality Ltd was UK-incorporated but dissolved in 2015. The group likely re-incorporated offshore (BVI is most probable for a Dubai-based international holding company) or as a UAE mainland company. BVI registry requires paid search requests and is not publicly searchable online.
