Sophia, tell in mass here, but as this remarkable free episode report reveals little in this complex and 6 to 12 is quite what it seems. The the utility is the Perfect Place to be an investigative journalist. Its complicated history and politics. Its food and culture. Its ties to the vatican, even its football. All of these things have been the source of interesting stories in the past, the assembly. And this is my production partner. And while a piano for many years, weve made documentary films, and most of them have been pretty straightforward. But the story that were about to tell you is Something Else entirely. It is a routine. Its an enigma, wrapped in riddles, buried in mysteries. Its the most remarkable and complicated story weve ever come across, and we found it almost by x. Its about Money Laundering. And much else besides the next 3 episodes of people in power will tell you about the internet conspiracy theories. Your confidence, tricksters in organized primary ways, all these over for the serial and the, the city, the does it divorced and only on which is up to it. Youll hear the names of a famous russian movie director or ukrainian folk dancer computer hackers and even african follow dish. So this is a skip of the number one in honey. And as we try and make sense of what we havent covered, i mean all the mysterious businesses and people who dont seem to exist fully introduced the person at the heart of this complicated when the man most reluctant to reveal his secrets. Is that what you see, i can see of a collection of water and somebody goes as he off coupon. With more of them later. For now, lets start with we began almost 3 years ago with the International Narcotics trade and the italian mafia. Back in 2020, we were working on another story about organized crime and all too frequent occurrence for italian journalist. In the process, we interviewed michael, a former member of them that i can get the mafia from the region of calabria in southern italy. You know, what do we know which will be on your notice and remember when we pick up your people, martco told us that back in the 19 ninetys that arent get billed ties with latin american coaching. Cartels wanted to open up markets in europe. The prophets from the distribution of cocaine, he said, were loaded onto trucks and transported from italy to switzerland, where complacent banks took the money and sent it out to other International Banks. Then when needed, some of it would come to the, to the, for me to specifically will remove this one of the signatures. I remember just starting to let me know if i need to remain on the spend joiner moments or something related each can with you over the same Drug Trafficking is immensely profitable. The cocaine trade alone is believed to be worth at least 130000000000. 00. And some estimates. It could be 5 times that figure that i can get that has been trolling cocaine routes from south america to europe for at least 30 years. In this time, despite the periodic seizures of narcotics authorities have never managed to find the money until he retired in 2022 from best up in easy was a senior magistrate in the dna battalion, national and t mafia director, it a lot to call but they never gave that feeling the agreement. I need people, my feels it great low the or but i have a minimum the middle a few months. So not even thought amenities for cleaning a few minutes might come if im not at all bad. Come if im not, i dont know, same thing, i just put the fuel and the brakes done on me. Oh, forget that 50 c k . No, no, no, i get this past them up a battery if i didnt that and if youd fully dont waste the solve the equation velocity i do, do you do . They are getting that to any agreement that we have to call me way. Im on a ball. Go see as long as the same play a copay of the quasi loan, but ive been finding the money. Thats your own interest in this matter began for decades. Italian authorities, magistrates and journalists have tried to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding the matthews treasure without ever succeeding and often dying in the process. Only if they call it and it will be the mafias code of silence. But in november 2020, we stories from columbia started appearing in the national press. We thought that this might change. The stories were based on an Italian Police report, dated february 2018. From the small city of problems that spoke of a man called the best protocol to that who was allegedly laundry, hundreds of billions of yours, on behalf of the mafia. The 1st journalist to break the story was on the account. Oh, she played a competitive document throughout the new for them at the by the people for the month. Do you own the ones that you saw it as the label he talked to in the process. So. Okay. I left book. Uh, and in close to that i took it out to english. Uh you guess uh, yeah, the 40 most people would uh, move them for 5 days, but i mean, i need what i can see and im not able to not accept yon. Okay. Luckily tier loons goes to bob a home they throw on a limb in the middle of the on me quite a look in the, in a 40 and i look to the see it kind of go down. I some additional months when its a new door that it goes out and it would be something bothering them just because he knew if he got significant im not, im not to. Yeah, it will. It will move gab, display. He turned in on the bus, they needed the mfc that she had a little thing just sooner. I won, youll for the so itd be you said b c boss last saturday. So this was the only thing william and thoughts. And if you on see i have yeah, yeah. Why dont you see the sun, the chief of the 40 so but let me do a bit of sunni the, the out of being on the one on monday. Something i. Yeah. But we want it to know more if itll best to, to go to that it was really moving billions. And how was he doing it . Some of the sudden not that he can get but also in a spot for you all team long as the kid needs to do to loan to cut off cheap role models the uh, is it a, a t c. Uh and then mosque. Uh and see it off the lot of money from the couple of weeks before yesterday. And, and then the other, because this one only got the the job. You know, somebody good. Get the equipment, the other more the, the, this is from 2 to 3 minutes to do with that. So now the subject on this stuff inside the destination it needs to be that looks good deal to come in. And so what does that include the uh, um, uh, thing to fuel in eco can be laid off on the last care uh, quizzing destruction of whites. Beautiful boy. Remembered that expression, white, spiritual boy. Youll hear it a number of times. The italian cord files described how the names of 2 men surgical, these in the meet the bad or associated with International Bank accounts leave to contain billions of dollars. According to police, roberto recorded that. It was trying to recover these assets for the mafia allegations. He is always strongly denied. But who exactly . Were a subject on this. Certainly me too bad. And why were their names connected to organized crime . Initially, the name of the me through bachelor didnt threw up anything in our online searches. But we found central contest. I was named in an article from 1989 about a murder out of highway toll gate near austin in central utilities. The report said that on the date of the day so was shot and killed. He was carrying 350000000 leading cash in the trunk of his car. When the samples of a little machines are defined, they solve the, i meant that their money, in my statement to show kathy political car usher, ramo, unfortunately, check out the packet to take. We saw the notion part of the marketing actually called the manual, meet you to the contents of the brooklyn that are not finished my, that my bill in a multiple words, shoulder to shoulder with central contest. So throughout the late 19 eighties, lending cash to high rollers at the famous, Multi Capital casino in monaco. Together they ran an operation associated with the casino, known as a loans office. A little little free turbo recreating fee should be void j. Let me know if its available, so you dont. If were pretty low, siobhan, lets say you have the letter and i just want to send that over. And if you should come to the wish to send you a new one know photocopy natalia. They call. Yeah, the model kept in the side. Yeah. It dont for safety orthogeorgia wireless charging. I know its funny really because he had he put the new content at the 1st time. I know. But if i got a little feel free to do the challenge and them put them in the job to do shotwell but they stopped order, they put the spectral when are they putting the 1st time frame or that im one pick out or hes ever very minor to, to luckily and fill up a c c map that what our d. C will allow us to find a dish or dont you should clean this on. No, no problem. No. Later, i was going to try to do it. A queen the blank is actually kept up from without knowing whether surgical this was death was a targeted killings or merely a robbery for cash that went wrong. We didnt yet know nor did we. I dont understand why his name had more recently been used by the best political died in connection with. Suppose that matthew Bank Accounts overseas the our aim was to try and unlock some of the secrets that it was not as networks to establish whether he really was the master money launder that the police had suspected. And if so, what else he in the mafia might have been up to. But we soon began to realize that nothing in this Looking Glass world was quite what is the subject, and this was survive by his son body to according to the problem, the police wire taps in late 2017, go back to godaddy received the power of attorney from audi took on this to administer his fathers account. We managed to find moti to he agreed to meet us at the toll gate in order to where his father was killed over 30 years ago. We wanted to ask him about his fathers a legit accounts and whether there was any tangible evidence of their existence. Beautiful delight. But thats what ive actually let me of the minutes he had chatted. That was, i think going to that, i mean, a bunk cousins that i live, that i me day when i, when im buying kind of the so the sooner impulse done going to it. But as it ended up on visions around a body to denied any connection with the mafia, he claimed that he found documents testing to the existence of his fathers accounts in a briefcase after his fathers death. The accounts he said were given to his father, to administer during the 1980s by the 2nd signatory the meet the van motives. You also said that she had tried to withdraw the money in the past without ever succeeding. We found evidence that in 2007 bodies to clean to have transferred 1300000000. 00 from san jose and legit accounts at the central bank of denmark. 20 is really beck calling pop only according to is rarely court documents. When hoppel in bank refused to hand over the some body to his brother in law, and a 3rd person called danielle at the shop, filed the lawsuit against the bank body to explain that the man called them in at the shop was an exceptionally skilled hacker who used to work for him, the children, the money i bought in my own computer, it was almost done so, so its a shot to the last semester. Wont do that. So, but for moving into us for some reason. Is it in nancy stam ivy just very image quality and flash support for normally less trouble. Ok, a normal the just say a quarter of a the media. Thats it. Okay. Sure. Plus the last 3 of, of normally less of a lot of us. It is a multi to a city works as an art dealer, but what he so candidly described sounded more like hacking attempt than a banking transaction. He also showed a swift or seats of deal engine transfers. We asked matthew to an expert on Money Laundering and banking transactions. What swift receipts are, and whether the print that was provided by modi. Typical, this were real sweet to a when asked that i guess it even bad job and the way get that that you brought up in cheap. Im into the budget to the bank because of said this week to week this saturday book theater, right. A lot of times thats the only email that you requested to them on the reset and theyll spa status and that will not be c spa stuff. It just be shit. Youve added me sad cheek to see my hand. I went up and i went out and grabbed the chain book k e o u v. A student at o. C is the same as me for quite yet, but all but then i consider method on the permit satchel. Was the issue this week to get them on the to cause any binds us unless it and then it goes at a out of put in a the post the book, the could be in a big subsystem facet. But they thought it would be nice in bunk keel. So when you think she could, i mean they called the, to me kick, assuming dana single quarterback, delivery back not listed. Im not sure if you got it for your stuff to live with me. She go that open to the chief city multiple times. According to the is rarely court documents. The lawsuit against toppling bank was discontinued in 2009 because they signed his partners failed to pay in advance on legal fees demanded by the court. We contacted hoppel him back to ask them what they could tell us about the affair. They replied with a one line statement. Due to banking secrecy, we are unable to comment on individual clients. We also wrote to Denmarks National bank asking about the accounts. They replied as a central bank, we do not engage in commercial banking activities, and we have no knowledge of the accounts and or transactions as described. It always seems highly improbable that just so you know, money lender, surgical this ever did have billions of euro stashed away in denmark, special banks and other international institutions. But it beg, the question is no such funds existed in the 1st place. Then why was the legend master money launder the best way to go to di trying to others to access the money . While we puzzled over that riddle, we also tried to find out more about the identity of the meat to bed. The 2nd supposed and signatory of the mysterious accounts means that when the total size yeah. Give me the dont well and so they dont know maybe events. Lets see what i mean. Civil and so it along with a to pay to prove is chase. Moti took on the sub, showed us a photocopy of the meat events, the passport. The photograph on it seemed basically familiar. We took a moment to translate the cyrillic script on it. It reveals that the actual name written in brush on the document was giving you the best. But that of a far more famous russian imaginary movie director. And they upset me, reach that cost the vascular version of the passports shown by moody 2 of them. This was in fact an obvious fate of the federal government on the kitchen. Stuff didnt make up cost interesting body to them. They said decline to say more. And of course its impossible to say for sure that im the golf ski. The movie director never used the identity of someone who called the meet the vet. But it seems extraordinarily unlikely that if they meet the bad the wasnt that golf ski then who was searching through the artifacts of websites set up over the years by hackers . Them. Yet at the shop we found the 1st occurrence of the name. You need to back those felt slightly differently. The name was published on the website of a u. K. Company called the g f service limited, late 2014. The gf service was part of the network of a Mysterious Organization called alpha omega station. Its strange manifesto published in 2014, announced the amended coming of a new world order. Among other ramblings a u. S. Claim to control assets within the Federal Reserve system. And at the b, i s. The bank for international settlements, an Umbrella Organization for central banks. The leader of a o. S we learned was a russian man called loudly. Mia, even though beach comes up, according to background checks, run by its housing authorities during the 2014 securities Fraud Investigation blog, you may have come to had previously been at the center of a number of scams involving faith securities. We wrote a comes up well now seems to reside in the United States to ask him about alpha omega station. Not for the 1st time in this investigation. We had a less than clear reply concepts, simply told us to look for a man called the nearly button former commodities broker, who could explain the matter to us. And then maybe on the phone for an equal time to get you someone fucking nickel pump bottle. Why dont people, ill give you all the top kill by keep, keep occupancy because i for monday difficult. Ill get somebody couldnt cause that. Give me a bit of 40 on my case. I dont, i run the love this to lesson, but i that is, im with that all cat or send, but i know they called say they are more all my thoughts than that. Youd be just that chat a little bit, of course. Okay. A lot of people, several minors, a lot of the you turned on the front door last day to say because the whole is up on to according to files from the 2014 investigation on the slide. You may have comes out and others in 2009, the russian forger enlisted hacker done yet, it does show and brokerage nearly the buttons on in his team. In an exchange of emails found into police files. The latter to discuss the steps to be taken to activate a system of accounts in anticipation of a meeting, which will allow me to come to himself pick project with those who stand she, the sham goes and see, but i just say, oh, not go look at bob, you got the car, got uh, is the cause of the your test would it be stopped . Near the bottom line, refused to explain further what the system of accounts was all about. The only other person who could answer our questions was the hacker himself. Then unit ashanti, we found an address for his family in a small town near rome and went to look for him sick but also saw that so just got moved in yet. And the septic was closing on that one. Think a sedan while we were about to leave danielle, his family came walking out of the gate off enough to begin with. You gotta have being any ideas of what time are you. Im a little quiet and its just like i said, were going through this google mash, it doesnt finish to do this. They will listen to you and part of it, they have know they have to deal with the account on the silver account. Youll send me to a web level myself, so the the, you know, the some of that the yeah, the although his relatives said they hadnt seen him for years. The shop does seem to be still active on the way through a search in the internet registry. Who is we managed to find his fiance as address. We rang the buzzer several times but were always told that the me and it was out. Finally, we were asked to desist, so we decided to leave a message with a telephone number, but them, yeah, they never called us back. What had started as an investigation into Money Laundering was quickly turning bizarre. Our findings showed that there was much more inside the body. The Police Report that it tells you authorities had missed the banking accounts, allegedly managed by to better go to court. That it seemed to be part of a wider system of special accounts created by forger, hacker board both possibly as part of a Money Laundering scheme or fraud was in matthews treasure hidden in the folds of the system. Or was it all of a smoke screen hiding Something Else entirely . We were at a dead. Thats when we stumbled on the list of banking Operations Published by, according to you, if you create one of the operations and the list match to the letter. One of the transactions via tell the police had overheard the best political not to discuss. It was an apparent transfer of money from germany to malaysia. The amount was beyond belief to trillion yours. In the next step is so of people in power. As the mystery deepens, we travel to ukraine in search of answers and some familiar needs. Well, the chiller, the vice of me 30 to, to look to the situation is so bad, by the next to this moment on fiber optics of goods. What are the people in a state of shock . People are very scared, very stress. A lot of people are saying the country contents are a tax bombing more south. Im shocked by our government. Its just care about the sides of Church Solutions that gives us no hope for future that we have to find creative solutions, not just turn our backs. I dont think that has a number. Think about it as a person in yourself and that person shares. So as you can see, for the fine is my us, my life, or at least in my life, those dentures. We want, we want the education reward because the women in my country and thats suite one. We are not denies ology, we are human beings and deserves to be treated equally. We are in their footsteps. Our ancestors, whatever has been done before, can be done. As long as a human being is doing it, you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see the vision. This key is you to the destruction and panic. Opera must covering guns at least 471.
