I mean to a real county, they denied everything or eat up organizations who said he hadnt collected or roland admonished. Most of the simple do, though not to things he couldnt in the high for apply to play down his own role in the whole central florida. We found out that the, the cocaine proceeds, that neural dean was coordinating at that time, was the main funding mechanism to provide Financial Support to has was purchase of arms out of Eastern Europe in russia to send the syria facing the us to he is of investigation the agents of projects, cassandra had finally reached that goal. They had exposed the secret organization within hezbollah, in charge of coordinating funding for the war in syria and more broadly, all of the policies clandestine military operations. We were receiving information about this shadow we group within has but wed hear things like, oh, theyre called the financial unit. Theyre called the the, the banking unit jack kelly and the team and project cassandra identified a component known as the Business Affairs component. So we started like putting together the pieces of the puzzle using all the experts that we had in the Us Government. Whats going on here . How do you connect all these dots . You know, its like trying to solve a mystery. In member, we have to provide the basically the Business Affairs components had Different Things they want to do. They want to move cocaine, they want to warner money, they want to sell or buy weapons. This business that there some phones got hundreds of companies and weve mapped out who know where those companies are. Theyre all over the world. Even so many United States the it function is this funnel to control all the secret Bank Accounts all over level non all over the world actually switzerland, lichtenstein, locks and burn paris. The business 1st component makes probably over a 1000000000. 00 a year in a criminal procedure. We have that backed up by records that we got out of liberties came bank the.

I know that sounds strange because people who really see wheres their membership card and like they dont need a membership, you know, when they someone sees their face. So like, come right on it. And, you know, mean the, so when you find as us investigators data bill associated gene involved in a list of financial activities from a rock to south america to europe, coming up over and over again, that gets your attention. It appeared viable that we could actually make a case the guess of the south field and, and perhaps arrest them we, we could do this if people let us do that project, cassandra was approaching the moment of truth.
