McConnell claims that BAE used the 116 000 hotline (cf. Maddy McCann) to entrap, extort and bribe pedophiles in the U.S. Department of Justice and their European counterparts and thereby ensure that BAE kept its position as Lockheed Martin's lead partner in the development of the F-35 Lightning II and the biggest military procurement fraud in the history of the United States.

In order to map the existing standards and to be able to develop some guidelines for improving the 116 000 modus operandi and cross-border cooperation, a consulting firm was called upon to conduct interviews with NGOs running the hotline. Bain & Company, a world leading global strategy consulting firm, participated in the project as pro bono associate partner from the very beginning. A staff member of Bain took part in the three meetings that were organised, and conducted the operational analysis in the course of the project. In particular, between March and May 2010 Natacha conducted 22 interviews with 11 NGOs operating the 116 000 service. In most cases, the interviews were conducted with two persons from each organisation: one hotline operator (the person who first answers the calls) and one manager (responsible for the management of cases). The analysis conducted by Bain & Company has laid the foundations for this guide, which has been based on the evidence collected through interviews as well as on preliminary recommendations formulated by Bain.”
“116 000 is a free-phone number that provides immediate life saving support when children go missing. It is active in 16 EU member states: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The 116 000 was assigned to Fundación ANAR in Spain and Missing People in the UK in 2010. Calls are answered locally by trained and professional staff from organizations specializing in dealing with cases of missing children by providing psychological, administrative and legal advice, as required.
A European wide number was reserved by the European Commission for a variety of reasons. First the phenomenon of missing children is becoming increasingly a cross-border problem as the Schengen area is expanding. Secondly swift action in case of disappearance is of vital importance, as a report from the United States' Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention suggests that 76.2% of children who are murdered after having been abducted are dead within three hours of disappearance. Furthermore parents need the support of an organization specialized in dealing with these cases. And finally there is a need to communicate about a missing child beyond national borders.
History
The development of an emergency number for missing children that can be dialled anywhere in Europe has been on top of the agenda ofMissing Children Europe, the NGO behind the number, since 2005.
On 15 February 2007 the European Commission recognized the need for such a Europe-wide effort and published a document requesting the member states to reserve 116 000 as the number for missing children.
On 25 May 2009 the number was launched in nine member states of Missing Children Europe. It is expected that other Member States will also implement the number, as implementation takes place at a national level.”
“Child Focus is the common name of the European Center for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children. Their emergency telephone numbers are: 116 000 toll-free, in Belgium connects it to Child Focus, in some other EU-countries this number is routed to a local similar organisation. +32 2 475 44 99 (worldwide) These numbers are available at all times. Activities … Child Focus is active in the prevention of the following matters: Missing children .. Abduction of children by a parent or stranger (child stealing or kidnapping) .. Runaway children .. Sexually abused and exploited children .. The people at Child Focus provide psychological and legal support to the victims of these events (both the children and their parents). They also follow their cases and sometimes ensure they are treated with due care by the persons in charge. Finally, they help and spread the information about missing children by publishing their pictures and descriptions in newspapers, magazines, etc. .. Since 1998, Child Focus has treated 3000 cases a year, and closed 70% of them within the year. .. Funding Child Focus' funds come from: The Belgian state (50%) Donations from people and organizations (50%) History Child Focus was created on Jean-Denis Lejeune's initiative in June 1996, one year after the abduction of his daughter Julie and her friend Melissa by Marc Dutroux. Lejeune had learned about the existence of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Washington, D.C. and went to visit it in order to study its structure. During the White March in Brussels on October 20, 1996, he asked Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene for help in creating a similar organization in Belgium. Its honorary president is her Majesty Queen Paola. On March 31, 1998, Child Focus was fully operational, and in July 1997, Daniel Cardon de Lichtbuer became the first Chairman of the organization.”
“Helping 'Missing Children Europe'
19 December 2008
Allen & Overy's Brussels office is leading on a Europe-wide project advising an organisation that tracks down those engaged in internet child pornography to get them prosecuted.
We are offering pro bono advice to Missing Children Europe (MCE) – a federation of European organisations set up to find and protect missing and sexually exploited children.
Allen & Overy has a good relationship with MCE as its president is a former Allen & Overy partner – Francis Herbert. Also, the Belgian member of MCE is the charity Child Focus, which has received pro bono advice from Allen & Overy for many years.
Using our expertise in banking, financial markets and e-commerce to help MCE track – and then prevent – payments made to child pornographers selling material through the internet.
The federation has been instrumental in bringing together a financial coalition comprising banks and credit card companies, as well as internet payment facilitators, to ensure a thorough and coordinated approach. It involves tracking down offenders by making undercover payments, cutting off their means of processing those payments and then getting them prosecuted for criminal offences.
But putting this into practice requires careful consideration of the legal position. It is vital that there are no legal loopholes through which the perpetrators can escape.
The financial coalition therefore requires legal advice on a number of key issues: data protection and privacy laws; banking secrecy; criminal law; and contract law.
Allen & Overy has prepared a report on all these issues to deliver to the financial coalition and the European Commission. It includes immediate practical recommendations and advice to the coalition on how it could prevent the identified legal issues from materialising. This includes suggestions on how banks and credit card institutions can change their general terms and conditions.
Beatrice Vos, an associate in Brussels, is coordinating this work which involves lawyers in 11 Allen & Overy offices throughout Europe and – with respect to work underway in Russia – experts from the Moscow office of US law firm White & Case. Alexander Kraemer, Competition associate from Brussels, is responsible for the research of the relevant European legal framework.
Shankari Chandran, pro bono and community affairs senior manager, says: “This is a major project for Allen & Overy. It is an excellent example of how we can use our firm-wide expertise for a good cause and demonstrate our leadership in the fight against this kind of criminal activity.”
