A Paraguay Contract, Swedish Blackmail & Death Threats: Mayfair’s Astarte Capital Partners’ Stavros Siokos, SilviPar’s Martin Forsen, and DOJ’s Epstein Files’ Luke Thorburn
For contextual and transparency purposes only, and to clear up rumors related to an “anonymous” website owned by Paraguay’s narco-trafficking “Moonies,” who are major Trump-GOP donors, it is perhaps worthwhile to note that Birdwood founder and Managing Director, whistleblower Mr. Luke Thorburn — currently imprisoned under a Paraguayan INTERPOL Red Notice for his hands-on counter-trafficking research and his team’s investigative reporting — closely advised London Private Equity fund Astarte Capital Partners and Astarte’s C-Suite Executives Dr. Stavros Siokos and Mrs. Teresa Farmaki, and Mr. Martin Forsen and Astarte’s multi award-winning PortCo “SilviPar” in Paraguay, this for half a decade from 2021-2026.
The attached signed contract (Siokos/Thorburn) should partly nullify confusion around Thorburn’s institutional clients in Latin America (in this case, Narcoguay) and Thorburn’s highly successful and hybrid “Birdwood” operation, in which Thorburn is the owner of 90% of the share capital and one of just two legal Directors alongside his brother Jordan Luke Thorburn.
Stavros Siokos has claimed that Thorburn’s various and nefarious counter-parties have threatened him in multiple sinister and concerning ways, including documented threats of Siokos’ own arrest in Paraguay, intimidating visits to Siokos’ home and office, suspicious armed men allegedly following SilviPar’s CEO and a visiting LP (Sumitomo-Mitsui’s “SumiTrust”) around site, etc.
Astarte Capital Partners’ Dr. Stavros Siokos: “You have no idea how many people are after me” (in Paraguay)
Paraguay, a “Narco State,” recently ranked 4th out of 193 countries globally in the U.S. Department of State, EU, Norwegian Government and INTERPOL-sponsored 2025 “Organized Crime Index”:
Astarte paid Birdwood, and therefore Thorburn, millions of USD. Public records attest that Astarte “SilviPar” (SAIFF) fund size is USD $425,000,000. Thorburn was their sole intermediary and institutional sales lead.

Terport captured a billion dollar plus cocaine shipment that emanated from Moon’s narco estate: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-54629249
Thorburn, a former “Moonie” senior business advisor, was allegedly sleeping with the “Narco Barbie” young wife of one of the ill-fated cocaine shipment’s architects — an architect who later pled “insanity” and was crookedly spared a longer-term jail sentence in Paraguay after serving a brief (and luxurious) Narcoguayan house arrest.
Small and non-exhaustive payment extract only — from Astarte’s Siokos to Thorburn’s Birdwood. Thorburn was recently in the U.S. Department of Justice’s “Epstein Files” related to his broader counter-trafficking and anti-corruption research efforts for which his Birdwood corporate vehicle, initially incepted (conceived) alongside CIA in Paraguay’s Mark Francis Shakespeare, was allegedly used as a counter-trafficking research “front” on occasion: https://anr.news/business/australian-investment-banker-in-the-u-s-department-of-justices-epstein-files/Voicemail from an imprisoned Luke Thorburn to ESG Investor in Paraguay Dr. Stavros Siokos from Astarte Capital Partners. ESG investor Astarte was, for years, effectively but indirectly funding Thorburn’s private counter-trafficking research, he and his small team’s investigative journalism and anti-corruption activism: https://christianintelligence.com/audio-fort-bragg-based-investigative-journalist-noel-fritsch-contends-that-his-colleagues-life-is-in-danger-following-paraguay-anti-corruption-efforts/AstarteCP.comSilviPar.comStavros Siokos heavily relied upon Luke Thorburn’s institutional investor network behind closed doors for half a decade, Siokos describing Thorburn repeatedly as the best institutional sales lead he has seen in his entire career (Siokos was former Global Head of Alternative Investments at Citigroup before founding Astarte Capital Partners)

Thorburn and Forsen’s efforts led to Astarte’s SilviPar winning a number of prestigious institutional investor agri awards, from Natural Capital Fund Manager of the Year (Global), Social Impact Fund Manager of the Year (Global), (Sustainable) Timberland Fund of the Year (Global): https://www.agriinvestor.com/agri-investor-awards-2024-global-winners/The King of Sweden is a big fan of South America and Laos, and, apparently, cocaine and hookers, and has been known to support frontier forestry projects and interesting regions. His Daughter-in-Law was a former Girlfriend of Jeffrey EpsteinGirindus and H&M Family Office on-site at SilviParIt had been claimed by a website owned by Paraguay’s narco-trafficking “Moonies” that Thorburn is a fraud and that his business did not exist — conversely, Thorburn says, he kept his name off his own business for half a decade in order to protect his clients from dangerous groups, his counter-parties, in Paraguay. This had proved prescient…until it wasn’tBlue-chip and Sovereign (inc. SWF) LP network: Illustrative of Thorburn’s public and high quality investor base. Attempts to discredit Thorburn from local individuals and criminal groups in Paraguay long-associated with State-level institutional narco-trafficking in Paraguay have been strong: https://christianintelligence.com/website-targeting-counter-narcotics-whistleblower-researcher-is-owned-by-moonie-contractor-in-paraguay-william-schuman/Thorburn’s counter-narcotics research (source) in Latin America, including Paraguay, has proven problematic. Siokos himself has claimed in various audio recordings that he and his Astarte Capital Partners has faced attacks from Thorburn’s counter-parties, local but globally linked narcos, in Paraguay — simply for his professional working relationship with Thorburn. Siokos has also mentioned blackmail efforts led by Sweden’s Per Olofsson, active in Paraguay and an advisor to King Carl Gustaf of Sweden
Paraguay, freshly ranked as the world’s 4th most “Criminal State” out of 193 countries ranked by the INTERPOL-sponsored Organized Crime Criminality Index, ironically abused INTERPOL’s own system to issue an INTERPOL “Red Notice” on Thorburn — the “Red Notice” was based on the below linked accurate investigative brief for which Thorburn, now in prison and facing a volley of macabre threats on his life, and his junior Birdwood colleague Brian Macnish, were utilized by Fort Bragg-based National File publisher Noel Fritsch and former National File journalist Frankie Stockes:
