The next page you, the explosion killed 9 people to and wounded around a 100 feet per re re was quickly removed from the wreckage of the card with what was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The carbone, which contained at least 350 kilograms of explosives listed for 810 meters in diameter cycle. It was impossible for the former Prime Minister to survive the attack. I dont the, the really was threats to syrian domination in lebanon. Syria has been a close ally to has Bella Russell camire was pushing too hard on things that were going to undermine their position in lebanon, and that was not to be allowed. But now the people, well, lets, as you know, of us today has blocked them. How pretty they took control of the latter, moving on. The government is that the presidency to never complex . What time they neutralize the all me and c test one more, not let us when they began to physically eliminate anyone in lebanon, 40 death, to say no to haskel, left with you to know the policy of card. Did you read the term in through our investigation . That has to pull out was operating like a global drug cart. So we want to to apply the same logic that was successful going after the italian organized crime families going after cartels in columbia. I mean, the car tells a good, but as well as another whole of the, the since the nation, the former Prime Minister of fi korea re sent a shockwave for 11 on and the international community. The eyes turned to syria, which stood accused of being the mazda mind. Behind the attack of to launch scale demonstrations, syrian president bush shaw alyssa troops which it occupied the thoughts of living on so 29 years and so withdrew the with the syrian, withdrew his beloved last a long time ally and protector. And his beloved found itself accused of being involved in receipt. Reread the assassination the now weakened, his molar continued on its positive violence.

Goodman at the we use a was a risk of but we estimated that risk to be around 5 or 10 percent. We did not expect a wall of that magnitude had the home, the most severe loans. Its really lebanese bowls of times and helicopters have been sending the region all day is really all me has and to the southern level. So go to the membership event on the lebanese government, but which has the lowest possible mean mean is trying to undermine regional stability. It dates a boot, lebanon is responsible for this, the done. So he needs to use release, believe they will recover their soldiers through military operations where they are delusional. Let him have them put them in the whole Community Since the mainland. We had a terrible suspicion to move away. Maybe one of the reasons for this war was that we confronted tests and this rylon has beloved god was facts. It showed hezbollah was behind the assassination of her really hezbollah, kidnapped to his release soldiers and caused the situation that explodes the we stayed the 1st days and is full of whats coming. They have to leave, so as to leave. So i release the phone please. That his boy not expected. What would happen later, as i expected this extremely heavy bombard demands the since 20 years. I am living here in the cells and some books off by a route which i course adelphia the. So were really into kind of get to here, controlled by his doings was that was a good office will not fight to us sitting in our garden discussing. In other words, having that kind of meeting. And i was by making because i saw if the dogs will kept so his boss sitting in our garden, they were more months a whole house and asked them, was this kind of tension . I made a very bad joke. I just, i dont know what took me, but i just said do would like to have a picture of you and somebody on so smooth. If you take ones the americans would pay you a 1000000. 00 of all. So i mean, i said the soul is always sylvia, it was a bad joke. I will go up to the apartment, i need some closes and i will leaf. So i left and 2 years later, the, this is block online emerge. Mobile media is assessing data and the, all of a sudden this, you, we need to long food stores every well and is a suite of a much more in the and im telling myself, i have seen him. And at one point it just made this clear lake. I know we lost the guy who told me as americans would have paid you. A 1000000 of dollars was a month monday. The off to 33. 00 days of these really bombings has obtained a ceasefire without releasing the 2 hostages in bay route. As well as lita house on us, rama celebrated the victory of the militia over its long time. Enemy res, be to god for this victory. Awesome, no serrano had boasted his status as a hero in much of the world in his youth expo as militia had humiliated these rail but they needed money to finance lebanons reconstruction. This was the moment, the d. E, a, the Us Drug Enforcement Administration had been waiting for its agency in washington, were monitoring all the movements of funds, arriving in by ruth they was searching for evidence of drug money in payments arriving from around the world. The in 2006 is really here, force destroyed every major bridge and lab 9 they destroyed, make many the road systems airport was impacted place with k s, the 11. Im is in deep trouble financially. So normally, you know, somebody finds a country, their Credit Rating goes down, you know, money doesnt flood into their country. Okay, im a finance guy. This is not how things normally work. But 11 on miracle sap, they need the money and loan. Behold what happens, this maisie amount of money was rushing in the lab. I remember what it is and well end it at 7 oclock, 8 oclock in the morning. His law was pleasant. Evelyn. Well, people able to go somewhere to complains that i had lost the house. And memorial of the family was good fellows and all families had lost every thing this law was also like a compensation give i will receiving to alone 10000. 00 money. Most of calls coming from you on the national and at the will you receive aid from iran . Why thats Common Knowledge light on, while others lack in a has with law, but has. But i also did rights income from the home of the tax that the faithful pay left the you have to file mean on, on the she a doctrine, the faithful must pay 20 percent of the profit to the what a month and the clerics every year he left the, the day i sent him, but those clerics use the money from the faithful to support most. Let me send the pull on a quick what they need to learn. And thats why the good and heavy what the hezbollah makes plenty of money through business activity. And makes money through donations, but at the end of the day, i their reliance on around for their big bucks. And how much money will list as for present hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year in cash. Out of the month, we dont provide any information about our budgets or weapons or ill pause. So now those are poverty secrets. In 2007, the lebanese Banking System began to explode and growth. We realize and what i realize we as i started to look into a huge model, that money was dr. Money. But the key thing is who organizes well, ultimately in mind with neon. So the spelling meters have made public statements that the drug industry is forbidden. Sometimes the bad guys, why and they look the other way. The Us Treasury Department is the finance ministry of United States and we knew we had power. We knew we had tools, we knew we had authority to reach and debate route to reach into the lebanese Financial System and put our finger on the scale a little bit and say ok, now were going to start impacting your ability to feel comfortable. Were, youve thought you were the safe. The the the Us Government went on the offensive d e. A agents were tasked with info tracing the elicit financing networks, established by his bill as military strategist, emma mcneil wyatt attempts helps the d. H like dentist on International Money laundering circuits and the organization of his beloved co, the network which worked with south American Drug contests, the show, the team identifying the network that we identified what we called the super facilitators. Like the biggest members of the organization, like it and organized crime family. These were the bosses right. Or in a car towel we call them sell heads, right. What has bought . It was the super facilitators, the pretty quickly we identified a latin American Drug lord tied to a magazine, but operating 11 on and look like. Has the strongholds in level 911, east male called im in june. And juno was far, far above a guy like check the harvard because a very powerful man the just a bridge between the columbia and cartels money and has plus mean he was like the only guy who was a sunni who was living in the hardest course. Yeah. Area, southern bay route, you know, have beautiful apartment, i believe on the beach started by has blood guards and things here unusual so in our entire focus was on, im in june and how we can possibly a full tre, his network. Right in lebanon. Im in june wanted to meet with us sometimes our, our Top International targets. They get wind of the indictment or wed let them know sort of in a quiet way, hey, you know, youre indicted. What often happens is uh through through a lawyer they have uh, or maybe even directly. It could start with a direct conversation, is that uh, the bad guy wanted to see if he could work out some sort of deal. It was under the guys that im in june, always gonna cooperate with the Drug Enforcement administration, which i was never gonna let that happen. If i could, in my mind, this is the guy that we need to put in jail not to, to cooperate. So we set up a meeting and was actually at the trump tower in panama city. The agents and the price here is in the lawyer role where and really nice clothes and i decide is going my shorts and a t shirt into the trump tower. They it obviously like, hey, wheres your, its the future, but i think i always do it on purpose because i didnt want to give us any idea that i thought like, im doing anything special for the guy from my a 20 years of experience working with criminals. And mafioso so that he appeared to me to be a hard core mafia member. So any time we caught each others glass, he had this look of the if i get the chance im going to kill you. Hes all my boss. No doubt. I say real quiet through most of the meeting and then finally i so you this is you havent given us there. Theres absolutely nothing that youve given us that we dont already know. So we went our separate ways it does appear to both inside and outside the trump tower. Their research to see taking pictures of us is basically certain that hezbollah had launch and intelligence investigation on. Um asher, myself, basically the cassandra task force they tried to contract other criminal groups including cartels, so they would pay if these people would kill us. Are you scared . No, definitely scared. No, i, i mean i took it as you took it as a compliment and, and then he also felt like, well, we must really be doing our job because theyre so pissed off at a so. So like you have to ask the advisor fever scared of the i was scared, but who knows . The when i started project cassandra with my partner jack kelly and our fearless leader, jerry malls, they knew i had another job. I dont think they quite realize where it works. Yeah, i worked at 375. 00 park avenue in new york and the 33rd floor, one of the sewage for 2000000000. 00 hedge fund. Where is a partner . This is my side project. You know, so, you know, have to dam managing billions of dollars and loans and equity investments. And the rest of the day, im hanging out with guys i get kelly and, and others. Since that, which is like, you know, id fly from new york on the other plane, you know, right in the dallas. And id like to dress like this. I, you know, business do these guys over in blue jeans and you know, like t shirts since then, you know, i can like bunch of babylon and im like, hey, i just met with the, you know, george soros, you know, the, the Us Department of justice decided to charge, im on juma, we Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering balance. He had already going on the ground, the projects. Cassandra was stepped up about 100 agents when now working to find im on to him is accomplices. The investigation focused on venezuela . A south American Country plus style to the us. Its president at the time who go chavez was favorably inclined to the enemies of the United States. First and foremost, these let make republic give a run and its process j has below the me. Ringback i come from a family to police and Government Service and. Ringback sort of society and talked to mary trying to do a little bit of a new world. Were out of the special Operations Division and we were called the bilateral us together to. Ringback so originally we were. Ringback focused on change trends, kind of the untouchables in the world, but we quickly started to, to really see a big next us between a lot of these groups involved in terrorism and how theyre being financed through narcotics trade. The tariff multiples are special agent in charge for most of my tour, their tax invest. We started realizing how has block was moving operations into vince as well, or had an opportunity to generate, you know, millions of millions of dollars to help them fund their operations. It was very apparent after the war in 2006, what is real and juma and the network of has both operators were very closely aligned with the corrupt, military, and corrupt government officials at the highest level of venezuela and govern. What happened was the majority of columbia and cocaine entering the United States and europe comes out of venezuela, venezuelan cocaine. But then as well, of because use the gateway and through our penetrations in venezuela. We also started to learn a lot about has the we did learned our investigations that we have done as well. And social one over to a meeting in damascus area. And i was offered the assistance it has was the, their husband reported that it was the most wrong meeting. I think it was much more likely that it was on a near the military operations for has blah the clearly those are very contrary to the National Security policies of the United States. They believe they shared a common enemy and has more certainly offering their expertise and resistance and creating so lets just systems the some of the other, i think interesting connections that came out were example, those are airline at event as well. Come the also some of the called an arrow terror, and we started learned theres a weekly flight to tehran. Very often it stopped over in damascus. Plains loaded with weapons, you know, r p g surface to air missiles, a k rifles into venezuela from these flights. And also they were picking up large sums of cash. You know, cocaine bringing that stuff back into the middle east. The you get set and the 10 tons coming out event as well a week. Okay. 7 to 10 tons is a lot of code the, this partnership is now code terrace partnership is emerging between the government event as well under hugo chavez and the iranians. And has of the many that we welcome you distinguish the leader of a road, people that dont pay a ronnie and people in web lloyd and the leader of a revolution. The sister of the venezuelan revolution, not only is dominic revolution today, oregon as well as celebrating their home, you know, welcome my brother selma lake on there. Many of them, i know some of the drugs became part of the resistance, narco resistance drafting the job roads. The incidentals parts, their youth spoils their power the we started to see some really higher level. Ben as well. And officials, persons like truck ellis, im a whos the former minister of interior. And i believe a former vice president. Hes at 11 missouri and descent, ties back to that part of the world. The directors is one of those really powerful officials who has so much influence in the country that he allows the system to operate. She allows the drug traffickers to be protected. He allows flights to leave without people doing their job and inspecting it. He allows travel documents to be issued for persons and other countries that otherwise might not be eligible for receiving those travel documents. He allows massive amounts of money is to be laundered through the formal Financial Institutions the yesterday, the department of treasurys office of foreign asset control known as old fact designated Venezuela National carrick l assignments as a specially designated narcotics traffic are pursuing for playing a significant role in International Narcotics trafficking, the has block one of the a closer and closer to be involved in the distribution and laundry. So they became settlement and, and element in the drive draft. You know, not something you normally see a terrace organization. When it came to a drug business, these guys were eager to make a box and very aggressive and not necessary. Dec here while above the money you have been seeking for more than 20 years to do him are set out until god finally chose him as a martyr.
