Collection is valued at almost three billion dollars thousands of works most of which are stored at the Geneva Freeport. Maybe the reason david no mud prefers to be discreet is because one of the paintings he owns is causing him problems with the law. The story started here in the paris archives in two thousand and eleven with this man james palmer. He is a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. One day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. After the liberation of paris he found a plane to recuperate his patrimony. The documentation is contained in this box it was. Here in the paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr oscar stener for his stolen pate. The information that we found was that Oscar Stettner had been despoiled of a number of personal items a carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. And important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. The canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antique dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had already been sold by the authorities. For the sum of sixteen thousand francs since then it disappeared. Particularly because its description is so vague. The document only indicated that it was a painting signed by the do jani portrait of a man. The detective had no idea what the painting looked like. He had to find a photo of it at all costs. By consulting papers kept in the paris archives james palmer came across a clue this telegram. It states that staten or that sent the model jani to the Venice Biennale of one nine hundred thirty. I travelled to venice personally and went into the archives there and to the venice be an alley archives i saw mr stettner spray painting. In a photograph. James palmer was delighted hed found it. This photo taken at the one nine hundred thirty Venice Biennale shows twelve paintings on the wall of the room dedicated to. Ten portraits of women and two of men. The one on the right was already identified and well known. The painting in the middle however the one of a seated man is more mysterious. So now youve got reference to mr stener owning the painting youve got reference to portrait of a man. And you have a photograph thats the exact same painting that is now illustrated or described as the seated man. Finally james palmer knew what the painting looked like. But where had it gone he searched everywhere activated his contacts toured the auction rooms archives and museums. And after a few weeks ago. He found a trace of the painting here in london in the catalogue when auction held at christies in one thousand nine hundred six. The painting was intitled seated man with a cane. But who owned it. It was acquired by a Shell Company based in panama International Art center whose Registration Document is seen here. Its Rightful Owner is unnamed. And yet palmer refused to give up and finally discovered another lead to finding the true owners. Over the years the work appeared in a number of catalogs. And every time alongside the name of one of the most prestigious galleries in the world the helena mod gallery in new york run by the daughter of the family patriarch we ran into at art basel. James palmer decided to write to our. Local was telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battle of.

On. Young children whove worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million are doing so today. This culture led to the development of bolivias new liberal and highly controversial childrens code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work on the certain circumstances one doesnt use in this. News all news. Of. The. Leak one of them with. The end all. Of the things years. But there are hundreds of thousands of children in bolivia operation completely outside the local. Mining work is strictly forbidden by the children but its never in force and that means the schoolboy minus here continues risking their lives for the money they need to survive on. Unfortunately it appears that once people learn that youve reported in a Sexual Assault or may have been involved in an incident that they become scared of you instead of being scared of the perpetrator. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion United States dollars passed through most. In the amount of time that weve been in the Panama Papers exposure thats what it shows a lot of money it really is. Journalism its a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and im asking why would they want to keep these things secret. Millions of. Documents were examined. The all the people we basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of newspaper. And probably other politician which were attacking other police and the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. And russian president Vladimir Putin of course. Oh my god ive had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no one marathons to go especially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china their special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. Of the panama chronicles. Well the lawyers for our client contacted. They had. New york. And they were ignored. Which is not right its not proper so i think after about a month or so they wrote him again and again they were ignored and eventually there was a response and the response was essentially you are suing the wrong people you should be suing the International Art center and we have nothing to do with that. James palmer was not taken in by her response. He filed a lawsuit against the helen a mod gallery in new york. But once again the lawyers denied the family were the owners of the painting. Here is their statement to the court in new york. International art center and nobody else not the helen gallery nor david now that bought the painting at an auction held at christies. Thing stopped dead there until two thousand and fifteen and the leaking of the Panama Papers extraordinary. A document published by the journalists revealed that behind the Panamanian Company International Art center was the renowned art dealer david. So he was a shareholder of the company that owns the model yani painting despite his constant denials. The detective had scored a point. Now he just had to find out where hes seated man was in storage he had a bright idea maybe it was in the Geneva Freeport where the number of family kept the major part of its collection. Was judiciary issued a search warrant for the storerooms in april two thousand and sixteen and discovered the holy grail the much sought after painting. Its hard to say if it was hidden or not but it was kept very discreetly in the freeport where there are the nomad family are estimated to have a vote three to four billion dollars worth of art or about four and a half thousand works of art in their little room in a freeport. Painting claimed to have been looted was well and truly in the storeroom in the freeport a revelation that caused an uproar. The heirs of the antique dealer stettner have now filed a claim for the restitution of the painting we contacted the no months after several attempts they finally agreed to open up their store room at the Geneva Freeport and to show us the painting in an exhibition room. We would never meet the art dealers themselves but they did accord us an exclusive uing of the painting a very solemn moment. The work was handled with great precaution it is estimated at about twenty Million Dollars today. The families with smaller would tell us their version of the story. Is about their money. Make a set that blew up a laugh i mean im at the end on a. Fact. International. They all the economy going. I mean a mad. Game. To clear his clients even further blow or even raises doubts that the painting ever belonged to the jewish antiques dealer staten or. Dont be a pussy because. It was a bit. Of unease. Only a forty is extinct. What. The. In physically explicit. See and then you see i meant by. This. We had only a few minutes to film the painting. But as the handlers turned the work around we happened to film something on the back that we only noticed later this label from the one nine hundred thirty Venice Biennale. The owners name had been crudely erased. And it looks like that of staten or. A clue to which the detective never had access and which could be crucial for the next stage of his investigation. The canadian detective is convinced the Geneva Freeport could be housing other works of dubious origin. Well i think theres a high probability that many other paintings in the freeport were probably looted and probably rest there today that have not seen the light of day for many decades and i believe theyre there and i think that it would be very interesting if the public were made aware or at least the art industry were made aware of what those paintings are so so that you know if the Prosecutors Office is whats on for example were to provide us with information on all those paintings we could pretty quickly tell them which ones are store pretty quickly. For the swiss art. Dealers lawyer theres no point in dreaming no one will know for years whats really stored in the freeport. Me little as i am not happy that hes all for say. I mean. A. French customs investigator is of the same opinion even if he is on the other side of the fence. Point im also legionnaires. Your company i know that i dont feel says we should be more in a mode to be on a softer you the hall is. Doing is aside the so. Awful i can. Reproduce your it dont. Give us the whole supper related or the actual sat and this thread because of the discussion. In geneva the middle yani case hit the headlines. The freeport authorities quickly became concerned about bad publicity. So in june two thousand and sixteen they called an Emergency Press conference. All representatives of the main swiss media as were invited. Was a. Little. Cameo started. On the floor with the president of the Geneva Freeport and his general secretary. Both men seemed selfconscious rejecting all responsibility regarding the supposed owner of the painting david no money. Made she said she always recall exact. A little. More than his heels. To. Theres a little blue book or a little bit over the last love for you didnt see it and got to this is illegal. In the us is.

They all took was it also promote it if its more as far as d. J. s orders go the distance or to the store. But what other secrets are really hidden in the freeport. In switzerland some official authorities have become extremely concerned we managed to obtain this report from the Swiss Federal Audit Office it unequivocally denounces the opaqueness of the Geneva Freeport. Irregularities regarding inventories and absence of traceability of merchandise. Errors in stock accountancy and recurrent problems which occur during controls. Our french customs officer includes laxity on the part of the swiss administrators that oversee business conducted in the freeport. Zone point. Is a nice house from purview more talking all. Of us from a. Source just took is risky saw provencal in your memory called. Lonely but you dont remember. Or. Need mum wash your skin saw it on sick but dont let me complete. Leboeuf why.
