should a goal that many you said was a kind of way over the top. i said i intended to get 100000000 shots in people's arms in my 1st 100 days in office tonight i can say we're not going to meet that goal we're going to beat that goal because we were actually on track to reach this goal of 100000000 shots in the arms of my 60th day in office no other country in the world has done this none south korea has amounted to spending defense exchanges and banning exports to myanmar it's an aid to scan trying to cut ties after the military coup on february 1st security forces are accused of torture and persecution in every spawns to peaceful protests. as this update from time that it's a mostly symbolic move by south korea to sever the ties and to prevent export of anything that the military might need quite honestly it's more symbolic than anything because they're not big trading partners but what it does is it kind of adds to that growing chorus international chorus of condemnation of what's happening by the military on the streets of myanmar so that's that's where it might not be that much money that the joint is not going to be getting but it's definitely symbolic that another country has severed ties you know we've seen other countries do similar things in the region also you know the united states hasn't even has gone as far as to freeze some accounts personal banking accounts tied directly to the top leadership so the all these things kind of add up and obviously are you know building the international condemnation but the voices we really they the international community is really waiting for are those of china russia and india they're the big players they're the big traders with myanmar but they have not taken the step nor do we really expect that to happen take the step that we see like south korea and other nations but those are the nations that really need to be focused on because that's where the military gets most of their material from. turkey's

maldives is a picture of paradise but the local people don't live on luxury resorts. for them it's either the cramped capital underdeveloped or islands. there paradise is not just been lost it has been stolen. what's happening in the moment it's ok it's. about. we didn't say well what $300000000.00 have gone missing. and there's a. lot. of. i'm will jordan i lived and worked in the maldives as a journalist a decade ago i returned to investigate the country's ruler after obtaining an extraordinary day to drop. the information provides hard proof of long held suspicions. i didn't realize that they were using the state for all sorts of criminal activity has been heard rule was but i mean up until now we hadn't seen any proof. the leak is the contents of 3 mobile phones everything from secret documents to selfies. taken together they tell a story of corruption. the man on the phone. the country's youngest vice president to just 33. in his phone messages president to deep portrays himself as more than just a politician. i am boss of all gangs in the motifs. they all operate is a fleet i took them over in the last election. deep swapped football for politics becoming tourism minister in 2013. the tourism minister is known as the. because that's what brings in revenue for the government . it was quite amazing his transformation from 2012 to last year. he was just so far. and it was also all the bling bling ring the haircut the. the car as it was. referred to himself and his friends his brother and the system became known as the bro economy he was just flaunting his wealth and he always had a group of other bros and there were also. a lot of his former football player friends got elected to parliament in there were all the same. messages reveal how he and his boss president stole paradise. very loyal. to. the money. through international hotel chains. he was selling a nation from. they were. this building houses the maldives marketing and p.r. corp it was the cash machine and they illegally withdrew millions. ablow ziad was appointed director and regularly receive texts from vice president to deep to arrange their deals. 3 checks 13w1w1w bro gifts also in that broke don't worry man he gave a free reign to a blows yet his accomplice at them n.p.r. seems to just had it out islands and all these deals it was so clear that from day one been never intended for this money to actually be used for the public good. the scam begins when unwitting tourism tycoons pay a fee for an island say $5000000.00 they would make out the check to the mole leaves marketing and p.r. corp but it rewrote the rules to allow checks to be diverted it would put his signature and stamp 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 companies controlled by a deep uncle. the day to show how vice president to deep lead the theft of nearly $80000000.00 of state funds. better make it casual something because we don't want anyone to know any details of ideals but. ok. the government is even planning a special tax free zone for investors vice president to deep joked about the opportunities it would offer. will make zone deals not only islands. the untouchables. peeing 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 described how stolen money was used to buy influence. since he came to. the lady that is the judges the lawyers. if you want 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. safina make some c.e.o. members 'd. just couldn't get the 1st. edition who is also. they are. 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 homemade having fixed at 3 different women in a columbo hotel room. and also 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 it was a ya mean. the tuition 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 mission is over in 28. we will never let them destroy our president and his team's achievement. after the sex tapes georgia meet came under investigation. 6 months later vice president of deep managed to close the inquiry. read the news i have saved up patriot alley hamid 6 months work. my dear brother hugh and his excellency the president did more than enough for me and my family i would always be grateful so. now for the good you know he was appointed tester chief of the traditional sense competition that's come orders don't you know. we're talking about a man who was caught on camera having sex with 3 different women in a country where women get regularly flogged for having sex outside of marriage. with the judges in their pocket vice president a d. been president ya mean could act with impunity. several media organizations were attacked. rajai t.v. was torched in 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 done 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. he ok give me the list. 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. when really 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 home. 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 on that apartment of the. 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. at the very least it implies a massive cover up by the government worst it implies that the president i love vice president were involved and 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. it's a corrupter place. only the people who says yes without questioning will get the benefits of everything. but since jimmy keyboard questioning. it wasn't just the abduction but it was also the fact that the entire state failed that i think that 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 share. with them or these everything has been sold. one of the murkiest deals was for the oil and of mago. just the place. model itself it could easily fit to 10000000 this to us if you put into the proper tender and 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 tourism minister again that's really pass a case of corruption where you mix business family members politics and money goes missing they basically designed these transitions to look normal but in fact these transfixed are designed to still public funds. but 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 do not have the right to get this out in the 1st place. so the government of more is should. decide that it's. likely only hotels say they were not aware of any corruption in the island deal you made resorts and jan and tosi 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 when i personally informed who basically ignored everything. they can just change the law and then the original was a mood from sophie's it was me. alone for negation of this record you know members of my family received death threats. they weren't idle threats corrupt police officers informed vice president a db of the audit and they conspired to silence another voice. you guys need to focus on this auditor general. now or. 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 blasted any cost. sure let's do it. but we need to blast it at any cost oh my god. oh my god. things sky swan trying to off east with 200. crazy state sponsored terrorism against its own people and institutions. how could they do this. section 31 and there was a major. next to it this is coming from as so police. i think the reason why this thing was going on as i warned them i'm going to report so they were trying to stop us from publishing this report and there were no that was actually organized. and then more of this police service is supposed to be protected sawhorse would be behind these things. and we deal in both. in part to president means impunity grows and so do the deals we confront men involved in using them old leaves to shift up to $1500000000.00 so do you help people on the money might put how can you even see that see my feet how can you even see the $1500000000.00 of physical cash pallet. it's something from a james bond film. it's one of the biggest clubs in

they stepped up the scale of their ambitions phone messages photos documents and e-mails revealing new plot. i am trying to bring $1000000000.00 u.s. dollars for a project. the total soon rose to 1500000000 it was hard currency. $1500000000.00 in physical cash. this is. a lot of. physical cash being a red flag of money laundering vice president to deep worked on the project with $3.00 of the president's closest aides including his nephew they laid out an oil and investment plan to a group of secretive businessmen. the tourism ministry said lagune coordinates they outlined the resort investment scheme for an implausible large $1500000000.00 but it was a ruse to make the plot appear legitimate. the government is making a cover story of giving us a project development for that the phones will be brought. the middleman was singaporean. he replied to ministers spelling out the details of the scheme. when the physical fandom arrives in modell we need support from the motives monetary authority to secure the fun from the aircraft the bank premise is for verification counting and ensuring media credit to our bank account. the cargo was the equivalent of 12 pallets piled with $100.00 bills the plan was to fly it into the maldives. soldiers then escorted to a vault where it is verified and counted the maldives central bank then credits a private bank. then the money looks clean and can be transferred out bit by bit. after the account is credited $10000000.00 u.s. dollars will be telegraph transferred to singapore hong kong the balance will stay if i can find suitable usage after 6 months the money will be telegraphed transferred out. flying in $1500000000.00 in hard cash saying that guy for development and moving this amount of money and in physical cash i think is quiet i haven't seen an example of this amount of cash being laundered through a central bank before it's something from a james bond film. vice president of deep gave one possible explanation of where the money was coming from and the central bank governor said it could be done. it's so fly capital people want to move here mostly since indonesia and elections a lot of offshore oil trade money. if they can provide the details of the source of the funds. we can find a way. it seems is. at the very top of the government were involved in this suppose a deal to need this money there are examples of lots of countries where the government is effectively run by crooks. e-mails and text messages show tank when you was representing secretive finance he is a mysterious boss referred to only as mr hans. a mining and energy investor indonesian rossi hunter. a british educated indonesian runs annoying all mine abdulhakim heidi. here he's pictured with the malaysian architect of the deal fide zone has done. he spun the web of front companies through which the money would be launched. finds on facebook account shows he was in iran in early 2015 the time of the plot and this e-mail from tom kwan you suggest the cash came not from indonesia but iran. we caught up with mystified zan in a luxury mall in the malaysian capital. just because i'm on his will jordan i'm from algiers there is a vestige of you know i want to talk to you about the mold ace and about cash flying into the mold lives under your company city trust administrator you know anything about that goes along so that in a time when you dump on you i don't quite know. what you're going to the. time when you from singapore oh yes a company kludgy a 5 ton store i thought i thought i met him before dumped on how come how did i come out here supposedly asian what's your relationship with him he says he's he comes to the office. and. hope cos i've i've met him before he needed god so we have evidence of a plot to fly in the hundreds of millions up to 1500000000 dollars in cash oh i think i'm always you know that's a lot of money and transfer it to the state bank of india home and from the state to an account under the name of city trust an administrator you know there's a lot of money and it looks like money laundering why would anyone want to move not going to get out when would i want to do here are you trying to make cash into the moment i think i've been doing this business for 35 years and i couldn't do such a thing so do you help people want a money. mike brooks how can you even see that. says the monkeys how can you even see them so you're 1st service in which i can bring large amounts of cash to you and you will clean it for. no you. absolutely not absolutely not. but that's not what mystified zone had told our undercover reporter minutes earlier i just i said how are you i mean everybody to be 5 i've seen your picture. he met mystified zan under the guise of being an investment executive with a number of very wealthy clients and said it's a time for you to take note if not you know. we basically look after high net worth individuals we told him our clients were looking to move large amounts of cash and political connections and wanted total secrecy this strongly suggests corruption and should raise red flags but for mystified zone it was business as usual some of these leaders have very substantial sums. some of the similarly some of it's in cash and i know that might be an issue no no ok i see i was reading that the businessman appeared well connected but it isn't as though i know how he's a noble but there's no. mystified outlined what he could and what he couldn't do for us. this evening. we've been doing it i think you've been up. to. actually one is the did they do sometimes michael shift the conversation turned to money laundering how do you get around the issue of cash i mean if we have looked very large quantities of cash i would present you well it's pretty sizeable to have that kind of an. ache that's what we've got seriously that's a physical i'm not physical transaction this is. achievable wow. quotes here is libya during that. because you're dollars can be quite tricky because of your social contacts and all kinds you can get up to queue. is it. much easier you know so much you really he had one concern that the deal was so large it would disrupt the euro currency market a lot euros. the police weren't really you know it's fast because market cannot stop so yes. it's like you can be. the deal involved absolute secrecy hiding our names behind several shell companies. that's what it is here i believe some of the structures who were serving me. really. so seriously. but this is a huge success or 7 doors which you have to go if you are going to get the identity of your fish and if you look if you can read it again you know it's actually a phone to shipping mainly because why should we come back you know so you know in the sec you're. right. still. the dirty money would go through a central bank in the region. so i can see people now. and i'm sure each with the bank. mystified zan told us we have misunderstood his comments and taken them out of context. when you heard he and. deny any wrongdoing in the plan to transport cash and say no money was moved. we have discovered from secretly filmed confessions how men on mopeds delivered stolen money bags of cash to a corrupt political class. mostly the people that don't have them and you will get . movers of the skull. he was part of the front company used to steal government money to the most see you do since he had to slow them and they still be on the up and all you see is going to be mohammed latif aka moho run the front company. plants in this playing in slip the name has been blacked out but it can still be recognized. off a $1000000.00 to president. to his account at the mall leaves islamic bank check number 2 for 7 mo hope aged 10. to. check to. transsexuals i don't want to step. on the foster. to. be an illegal busy. hussein mohammed. was vice president a deep driver he delivered the president's money on a moped huge sums of cash in black sports bags the vice president made the arrangements. do you do you believe do you need something to do live through these new releases in to do this. look you used to deceive look i'm not looking. until young to really do this this we must keep you under its label because the newcomers are so it will do wonders to be is if you you know me you know he himself you know. the student money he was new and you missed me if you knew me knew he was going to begin your community whose name you can hear. by me 2015 vice president a deep accumulated money power and $3.00 gold i phones. he traveled all over the world meeting leaders like china's premier. his plan was coming together. he had installed a friend as prosecutor general affectively placing himself above the law. after that my power is complete. the deep even tried to get a gun and 2 dozen bullets. broke what you have now 9 millimeter silencer how many bullets. how many do you want. 24. ok. delete all the messages bro for safety for both. i will. but the vice president had risen too far too fast. you know tobie 2015 blocks to the president's yacht. the 1st lady was her. president ya mean blamed a deep. voice president was sentenced for terrorism. could foresee behind the last. we have obtained these previously unseen forensic reports. lacking expertise the government called in american f.b.i. investigators and saudi specialists both found no conclusive evidence that there was a bomb they suggested it was an accident which in turn suggests the president used the blast as an excuse to remove his closest rival. we have seen him in operation we have seen him. pledging his own government he has that instant. 23 of his own why specifically. a number of his own ministers. anyone and everyone who expres different opinion. in some they have been punished. now that there's no exception to be. before vice president to deep could be arrested he handed his phones to an ally to sneak them out of the mold as a source copied the contents to us. the phone leaked documents and recordings of revealed a paradise conquered corrupted and stolen. the system has completely failed i mean in such a small place where everyone always everyone it's very easy to corrupt the entire system. it's like a game or putting. at the top of. president obama doesn't want policing the world central bank in world parliament in water and traditionally it was. a cheerful country. so there's no future for us. everybody's afraid. lives is being sold out by these few people
