at them in p.r.c. to just islands and all these deals it was so clear that from day one been never intended for this money to actually be used for public good. the scam begins when unwitting tourism

and stamped on the back and it would be paid into another account cashed out and embezzling. these 2 checks total over $5000000.00 u.s. dollars the checks were paid from the government corporation to

not only islands. the untouchables. being on touchable can be expensive. we have obtained secretly filmed confessions given by men who worked closely with the vice president and his boss. they describe how stolen money was used to buy influence. since it came to. this the judges. if you will this the whole system is fucked. the president's money men are on the run in the u.k. the maldives government has put them under international arrest warrants the men say the government wants them back because they know too much about president. i think that the president is scared they didn't know. all the information. each man describes how he rode around on a moped delivering bribes. money stolen from the people and given to the maldives most influential. make some c.e.o.'s in those 'd are just. the 1st. who is goes out. there. and this is just going to be. the plan was not just to use the money to buy politicians but judges as well. like ali hamid at the supreme court. the phone messages expose him in receipt of stolen money. last night you gave ali homemade $4000.00. yes. ok good thing to those and 12 there were audio clips and radios that were leaked that appeared to show a man that sounded and looked like on the hamid having 6 or 3 different women in a colombo hotel. and also of a conversation had had with a local businessman where he said i am a young man. the messages show that for a fee judge for me was a young. the truism fees for 2 of his children abroad and jobs for his brother and cousin loyalty. until the next election. we will remain soldiers till the

with 3 different women in a country where women get regularly flogged for having sex outside of marriage. with the judges in that pocket of vice president of dban president ya mean could act with impunity. several media organizations were attacked. rajai t.v. was torched on october 23rd teen shown he is the head of the english department there with almost burned down everything all they could mention is in here it was all burned down. but they started 10 hours later and then. undeterred the channel continued to broadcast a year later. the vice president also police to repeat the attack but the chief of police suggested intimidating the channel's investors instead. lost it again. no i guess better control sponsors. be ok give me the list. 'd journalist ahmed rwanda vanished over 2 years ago he was a reporter from old leaves independent. so you know rashid is the editor. on august 10th when he didn't show up for work we thought ok he's hibernating. monday he didn't turn up for work tuesdays when his family said we haven't been able to reach him and that's when we got worried. they began retracing his final journey. they found c.c.t.v. footage of him at the ferry terminal. and they believe he was being watched. he took the 1 o'clock ferry. one got off the ferry he didn't get on the bus but he walked home it's sometimes i wonder you know like why did he walk or. we've all received death threats if we'd just gone home earlier he would be here today he might be here today. this is a. cyst change so much so he lived in that apartment up there. on the top so. between my 13th floor plus there's sort of like a man being forced into a car at knife point. and the car driving off really fast the college of so fast the people in the car don't have time to close the door. 2 weeks off the real one went missing police had few leads the case had become high profile but the president was not concerned. instructed the home affairs minister to take it easy on the investigation. no need to be overwhelmed by real one case. ok noted so. at the very least it implies a massive cover up by the government worst it implies that president otherwise president were involved in ordered his abduction. we lobbied every single government body or state body that we could think of i mean we knocked on every single door and none of these places responded. real ones family suspect he was investigating corrupt oil and deals. to corrupt a place. only the people who says yes without questioning will get the benefits of everything. but since me keep on questioning me. it wasn't just the abduction but it was also the fact that the entire state failed that i think da was the one heart of the realisation that when something happens to you the people who are entrusted with your safety don't care i think that was even harder. the government has sold islands cheaply over the maldives. today in the greater mali asshole there isn't a single lagoon left to develop. all to the i was informed more than 60 items for. i give them out it's not on the audience. or the more these everything has been sold. one of the murkiest deals was for the oil and of mago. the place. model itself it could easily fixed 10000000 this to us if you put into the proper tendering process. only 2500000 was it just seemed to the government. the boy was new mood resorts led by italian gian andrea tulsi according to a report by the maldives order to general the deal because there was no open bidding. forged documents also emerged surrounding the deal involved companies links to the vice presidents on coal we've shown our evidence to an anti corruption analyst. the money ended up in an account controlled by a company and was involved with a family member of the tories and then this again that's really classic case of corruption where you mix business family members politics and money goes missing musically designed these transitions to look normal but in fact these facets designed to steer public funds. deeps phone messages show the deal involved a moldavian gangster known as t.c. dave weeks after the deal was done the details came out. a diva asked t.c. dave if he was behind the leak. broke tasse or your guys are giving this him 1st. no i don't think so if you know we made a deal but figures and transactions. the auditor general's report suspected corruption despite that workers are building 99 villas a resort is due to open in 2017 under the banner of italian hotel chain likely only . the government is selling these islands on behalf of the people of the moldings you need to really look at the basis of those deals and start questioning if it's a fair transaction have the people of the multi got the deal that they should have done all those companies will go to this island to work have the right to get this out in the 1st place. so the government of more is should. decide that it's. not the only hotel say they were not aware of any corruption in the island deal you made resorts and torso you deny any involvement in the corruption and say they did not take any documents or transactions. you would it's a general report concluded that money was stolen from a total of at least $59.00 island deals. that i wanted money involved in this is which without realizing the corruption went right to the top the auditor general submitted his report to the president and then i personally informed who basically ignored everything. they can just change the law and then. richard you know wisdom orders from sophie's it was me. alone for negation of this report you know members of my family received death threats. they weren't idle threats corrupt police officers informed vice president a deep of the audit and they conspired to silence another voice. you guys need to focus on this auditor general. an hour. maybe we need to light up his office as he is continuously making trouble for us. we check that place lots of cameras everywhere. ok that you need to blast it it any cost. sure let's do it. but we need to blast it at any cost all my heart. oh my god. i swan trying to blow off east with 200. crazy state sponsored terrorism against its own people and institutions. how could they do this. such a dirty come on i never imagined. let's do it has come from as so police. that. i think the reason why this thing was going on as i warned them i'm going to publish the report so they try to stop us from publishing this report and there were no that was actually organized. and then more of this police source of course to be protected sawhorse would be behind these things. and would be. in part to president means impunity grows and so do the deals we confront men involved in using the maldives to shift up to 1500000000 dollars so do you help people on the money my good how can you even see that seared to my feet how can you even see that
