Gathered around him. Banks lend him huge amounts of money nothing was too good for him. We wanted to find out how he managed to scam billions in a complex pyramid scheme. To date month me their lives im a yorker where he retired after he got out of prison. Smita wants to keep his family out of the street pulls his exwife and 2 children live in switzerland home to meet her grew up in castle where his father was a businessman and he discovered at an early age that he had a talent for making money out loud. We met him at one of his favorite restaurants near palma. Course i was always ambitious i wanted to have a job out of for cold when i was in college i sold cars and the 1st to be w. s and then mercedes he had me say 3 or 4 that when i was 16 i sold Life Insurance after school for the 1st year i worked for a company that was owned by the father of one of my friends who live by always wanted to have something to do but at some point i took a wrong turn. And i either didnt notice at the time or realized it too late and i think. The mad. Prosecutors say that she need as company flow takes cheated banks and Leasing Companies out of more than 4000000000 monks. I know tough man was one of the prosecutors in snead us case documents used as evidence at his trial stored in this basement room at the Prosecutors Office in mn hi im. Huffman carried out extensive interviews with smita we asked him what drove smita to commit these crimes. In the 1st he didnt have a lot of friends at school. But at the age of 16 in the mid 1960 s. He got a moped got 15 yards from me did it none of the other kids had one more peter thought him and he used that moped to make friends with more. Reformed he wanted to be popular vote on the norm and i think that was a basic component of his character and weve done play constantly sought the approval of others 50 yards from me in. Man fights me to founded tax in 1994 and became enormously successful over the next several years. Also forced on france and germany could be pretty intimidating so he was always very well dressed with tailor made suits and a rolex on his wrist. Very impressive and examples out there in other muslim he takes everything he does to extremes. When he goes after Something Else for he chases it like a terrier until he gets it and tell. The boy who started out with a moped had made it to the top and now owned a fleet of luxury cars. In 1909 smita celebrated his 50th birthday with a gala event at his estate a 2 im back on the outskirts of cause school and. Downtown that im going voted about 300 people politicians Business Executives sports stars anybody who was anybody by the lord is into it then im a lot of people were dying to get an invitation. It was the event of a year in the state of botany with my bag and it went about building work. Meter lived a life of luxury a private jet with gold faucets. Villas all over the world anything florida youre a guy and some of. Even 3 yachts the largest was 55 meters long. From the sultan of brunei. His extravagance was excessive. On the one hand that sort of lifestyle makes some people envious not to live there i know on the other hand envy is the highest form of recognition night if the former and media used his position to win approval from people who would. Become not the. He had all the toys that anyone could want an old a huge collection of beautiful cars yachts jet aircraft. And even had his own airport who else has that. We took months which needed to visit the airfield that he used and its now the council about him bought an international airport. For this report me to agree to visit some of the places that played an Important Role in his life as he made his way to the tunnel. He used to come here often at one time he had 2 private planes and a helicopter parked here. He built his Business Empire on a Technology Concept that he discovered in the late 1980 s. A u. S. Company called flown well developed a horizontal drilling system so that utility lines could be laid without causing a lot of environmental damage. Months adept at this idea and convinced banks and Leasing Companies to invest in it. Drove london before it was so since we were convinced that this was a great system and the banks thought so as well and frankly they gave us 20000000 to develop the equipment we neednt young on the some of the narcan market smita promoted his concept with expensive ads that so that were broadcast on prime time german t. V. Starts making a gas line and among those under were doing it underground but yet underground without digging out you know if its a new systems. But the commercials were deceptive in fact the drilling machines didnt. But. Rocks and existing lines got in the way. So she does this never really got off the ground but he managed to convince investors that his company was turning a profit. We actually started out piecemeal this its not like my partner and i actually planned to rip people off. And we believed in this concept and. We wanted it to be a success so we manufactured statistics that appeared to make it a success we were counting on future sales and thats how we came up with this system and this thesis is the hand the banks were delighted to help finance this project. Because. At the height of the scandal smita had convinced investors that his company had more than 3000 drilling machines but in reality they were just under 300. To keep active and keeping the scheme going wish me to still as a salesman. And he can be very charming. If youve known him a long time like i have is that theyre less impressed by. But most people were taken in by a charm and to put it bluntly. My guns so. Sweet it hasnt flown over his former Company Headquarters in the 2 decades. Today were taking the same routes that he did back then. They were right over it. It would have been a short trip by car but me there preferred to take the chopper. Book its faster and. No traffic jams either. At the show. He often took investors along the helicopter was on call 24 hours a day right over it you know. Just think of it were going to learn. Right there where those containers are. Worked in a look seriously appointed office hes come a long way from selling used cars for a living. This is where he built a Business Empire that turned out to be little more than a house of cards. And it came crashing down on february 4th 2000. Police arrested months which meta at his office. For most of his employees this development came as a complete surprise. It was on a friday afternoon when most of the workers were getting ready to go home. Soil farm criminal it was the police and some tax investigators i could hardly believe it im against on those but i was shocked its its when. Thats that they wouldnt be here if they didnt have a good reason to. Police and officials from the Prosecutors Office carried out boxes full of evidence this was shaping up to be the biggest case of financial fraud in postwar german history. 2 decades later this is all that remains of the flow tech sign on top of this building. The company that had been the darling of bankers and politicians went out of business in late 999. This is the 1st time that shmita has been back here since flow techs collapsed. And think its a very strange feeling to be here after 18 years and 2 weeks to go here to comment. On how the swine kropf i can still see the place in my mind but now that im actually here its difficult for me to look back at everything that happened with a list them out of a group of 3 of them left. All the stress that was the hardest day of my life and. He hasnt been back here since the day he was arrested. For the so this was mrs lobs office my secretary a law. Its almost hard to believe that this is the place wish me to made all of his deals. This is really difficult. Most of us are desk. Over here right there. Alone i feel like im in a movie right now and. Then for this im glad that i came back here though so that i can somehow theyre close this chapter of my life. But its not easy and so. Id like to leave now. The flow tax system worked for 5 years smita kept selling machines even though most of them existed only on paper. He created an elaborate business for a song to fool his investments. We took a creative approach when the Bank Auditors wanted to see some drilling machines and wed switch the identification plates. And show them as much equipment as they wanted. With the machine in the holocaust and he thought same point and. They kept some of the machines in this warehouse officials from the banks and Leasing Companies had a look around and was satisfied. They came in broke down the id numbers and checked them against the list they had at the office just me and they all matched acutely so they also looked at the id plates wed see and they checked out as well. And im to deploy a kidney and before thats basically how we did it. So i was going to go for. Everything seemed fine for talked to mention at the end of the day he was probably pleased to see how easy it was to deceive people that made isotopes. It all seemed so easy almost a sure thing smita kept playing his shell game with the drilling equipment and the banks kept lending him money after all he had to make the monthly lease payments even if the machines existed only on paper. Flying glass this is the end of it was a classic pyramid scale and it worked at 1st because he used the new loans to pay off old creditors of them growing bigger but then things got out of hand and they became more and more difficult to control as it should be artists know how to harden when its violent ended and it got to the point where he had to come up with 60000000. 00 marks a month just to make the leasing payments using. No more not least begins again. Thats me to manage to convince the banks to keep giving him money on. The banks made big profits with these flow text fields and guns and all my warm year to many good food he and they came for im a banker game big branches were competing with each other to get his business. To storm all the scheme would never have worked in the banks had played along absolutely not theres no way. That this was. Deliberately kept his meetings with Bank Executives short he preferred to spend his time flying them around in his helicopter and treating them to sumptuous meals. On the. Fly out to the airfield near serling and then celebrate with a big lunch. Because she called them liquid lunches for me god is nice that everyone drank a lot of alcohol and. Maybe he was trying to get his guests to be a little less cautious. And. Sometimes theyd fly to the nearby alsace region to sample the excellent local wines or hed invite bankers and Business Partners to his yacht or one of his business. And i created a situation where i could demonstrate my success to the outside world that was very important for me a few months i didnt write people out to the yard to them take them to dinner so i had this happen and these displays of success became part of the Business Model and week so i had to do it there to get this game going. And if they will come put into. A 996 smita course himself an airfield a former Canadian Military facility near baghdad. The powerful state politician helped him to arrange the deal the honorary chairman of the bond didnt that Free Democratic policy. Recommended with the German Government should sell the airfield and at a reasonable price to about 38000000. 00 marks. The. Window he also arranged for us to get a government subsidy provided that we got final approval and started flight operations. On that was a great deal for us so we went ahead with it. Deliberately made a point of according to all the titians who could help him grow his Business People who could open doors for him. Towards or and a more low volume included youre going more like a respected politician who knew everyone on the counter. Moves. Through more like who he met a lot of important people and so it was a smart move for him to make some dominating type. Of talk. Show media also started building in new flow techs headquarters complex at the airfield leading politicians attended the groundbreaking ceremony including the state premier at the time having to fly for. All. The guests were impressed with his model of the proposed new facility. Smita made a promotional video. For hero from here will tackle the projects of the 3rd millennium. Should be their claim that this new facility would bring prosperity to the region. The state premier teufel took the controls of an excavator at a ceremony to mark the start of construction. But for this report none of the politicians who worked with smita wanted to talk to us about him. After all its a very old story. So obviously shmeat amid the media enjoyed being around politicians and they enjoyed being around him. And it was like they acknowledged each others importance can be shown the. Leader bill is a former barn veteran back interior minister who later chaired a state Parliament Committee that investigated the flow text scandal. At this point questions were already being raised about the companys finances but prosecutors and the tax authorities didnt. Investigates perhaps because of all the powerful politicians who were linked to shmita. He knew a lot of people in the State Government including the premier so he must be an important guy if he wasnt. That had nothing to do with. That influence the decisions made by your forages its not like they said im not going anywhere near that case but they did see that they had to be careful because of shmita status of. Prominence. In july 999 mido through a huge party to celebrate his 50th birthday. Heres a picture of the official invitation and the guest list. 300. 00 people were invited it was an event that no one wanted to miss. Among the guests was former bad investment backstay premier. Who gave the opening speech. The festivities took place as does too and that is state. He and his family lived there until isa arrest in february 2000 and. 9 christel free love my biggest mistake was that i used my Financial Resources to create an image of success for me to provide not only for the outside world but also for me personally i wanted people to envy me so you can and when people are jealous of you and you crash and burn and they all cheer for him to hang on. We are on the way to month which made us former estates at 2 and back near because. The prophecy covers 60000 square meters. Back then he believed that he deserved to live in a place like this the man with upton thought that when i look back at those times i cant believe that i didnt realize how serious things have become. The whole thing kept getting bigger and bigger and i just went along with it and this is only on the mark rosenker. Smita says that he was cool as happened to spiral of events that he could not escape. You only have one goal and youll do whatever it takes to achieve it you lose your sense of right and wrong and you do some things that are wrong and are called not merely questionable. If you do things that are illegal but you dont care anymore if you look at the thought. Behind these walls month me to entertain his guests and impress them with his wealth but many of his friends from back then are long gone. They came to my parties and had a lot of fun for me but when the whole thing collapsed they disappeared on the. Im cold when he lost everything including the yachts those people didnt want to have anything to do with him. We wouldnt call them friends that would have one of those one so long argument on xen hot when youre rich and powerful people like to be around you. But if you get into trouble no one wants to know you. Its a tool. The drop down a little that would be great. Its hard to believe that men fetch me down managed to get away with this scheme for so long but the bigger it costs the more people believed him. Not to really define what it was all based on power and influence and money and. It was like he was too big to fail and maybe some people thought he was but no one seemed to doubt that the company was profitable than if they had just taken and its most money of all money he said to himself as i have to show my family in the state about and didnt back but i can be successful as can. And thats just what he tried to do in order to stop the in the town. For a time none french media was able to convince people that he was a model entrepreneur. He attracted politicians who thought that he could be useful to them and bankers who thought that hed make them a loss of money. Today he regrets what he did. In the dish it is into effect bunkum given as the primary victims were the banks not any private Individuals Bank and just the bank with his help and he wants listeners could use that i do have a guilty conscience he said with this for us what we did was wrong and see who gets more i mean low quite high and then crashed and its all my fault that if its a line my dish i cant blame anyone else will give me. But most of all of the cost and im sorry about how this affected my family because id made them feel miserable to stop it or to stop. Thinking. Kerosine. Is there an alternative to this climate.

And also the greatest drive a struggle to get to grips with formula ones neighbor circus but take a look at the best of the action from the tuscan grown person. Im anthony held welcome to the program Security Forces in belarus have to time hundreds of antigovernment demonstrators during the latest mass protests in the capital minsk more than 100000 joined marches as the day the rallies enter the 6th week the protests highlight the plight of those detained on suspicion of trying to overthrow the author terry and later Alexander Lukashenko. This time riot police were out in force in minsk ready and waiting to pounce. They sprang into action as soon as demonstrators began gathering. The interior Ministry Said hundreds of people were arrested for displaying offensive symbols and messages. One woman shouted shame. But Security Forces were soon outnumbered by demonstrators an estimated more than 100000 people heeded the call to turn out to show their support for leaders of the opposition. Some protesters chanted we are the power and you are fired. Words directed at president alexander look at who the opposition accused of stealing last months election.

Is due to travel to russia on monday for postponed a face to face talks with president Vladimir Putin the 1st since the mass protests ahead of the planned visit protesters demonstrated outside bellows embassy in moscow theyre worried about possible russian interference knowing full well that the kremlin is watching the protest movement in belarus very closely. Correspondingly connelly is on the ground for us in minsk protest aside i feel like its the time how does it look from your vantage point. Well its difficult to imagine now on these empty streets how many people were out today around a 100000 as we just heard but it ended as quickly as it began that is the pattern here because most of the arrests happened at the beginning before the big crowds arrived easier for the security stragglers and the same as it in so kind of extraordinary contrast to a very relaxed atmosphere people out with. Small children their strollers and then suddenly when the end nears everyone disappearing in a great hurry into the metro and Shopping Centers just trying to get away from the police who as weve just heard it made about 400 arrests so far that estimate might still rise. That these protests are continuing a month after the election here in belarus and no sign from the people here that the threat and the arrests of the last 2 days the release putting them on. The violence against women protesting yesterday has that affected turnout or the behavior on the streets on sunday. I think theres a level to which that was kind of factored in we had seen a phase where women were treated with great concern regard by the Security Services there was a very famous pictures that made their way around the world of women standing between this police and protesters managing to prevent arrest that is well and truly over now i got to talking to Security Forces last week he said that sometimes theres just no time to follow the law basically. To use all methods legal and illegal to prevent these protests so i think definitely no surprise at these measures and definitely based on stay turnout no willingness to keep it to stop going out just because the government is making good on its threat to crackdown the images. Dramatic the words and the acts now but sides. Powerful that we have a style might how are the opposition planning to to change this is position. I think from the position you hear that its actually they have a point of view is that its not up to them to have to come up with some kind of roadmap here they say in a system like this where there has been in power for a quarter century in not being challenge for most of those 26 years this kind of regular protest is already in itself enough to put the government to pressure and were seeing how the government is after weeks and weeks of these protests starting really to take more drastic Action Action that is often compromising the government open in the eyes of people who maybe was a bit before and have but have been shocked at these detentions that the violence used that remain recent days and weeks and where you see people who maybe werent out protesting the 1st coming out because they have been appalled by the lengths to which is going to go so sense and protests here long as they keep on keeping getting numbers are growing week to week that that is enough and eventually the government will end up making mistakes that bring it down and connelly on the streets of mince thank you. Voters across russia casting their ballots in local elections which are being seen as a key test of president Vladimir Putins grip on power the polls are the shadowed by last months poisoning of the Opposition Leader in the valley and his team wants russians to vote for the candidate with the best chance of defeating united russia party.

Islands towards people. And the other side are a growing number of heavily armed militia and can osha wisconsin a cellphone vault supporter of President Trump shot dead 2 left wing activists peta diaz of the right wing militia american wolf since the police have failed and that the u. S. Needs armed men like himself to restore law and order. The people that are down there theyre not protesters theyre criminals and theyre actively working to help me stabilize our government. Target practice for members of the militia american wolf at a secret location in the u. S. State of washington. This is a k 47 rifle holds 30 bullets the notorious automatic weapon is the one deals prefers. The kalashnikov was originally developed by the sauvie a dread army for peter it is the ideal weapon to defend his american values. Regard classic so they dont make them like that anymore right you could drop it in the mud. A successful businessman peter recently founded american wolf he says their goal is to keep america the way it is a nation under god proud and conservative he wouldnt reveal how many people have joined his group but many of former soldiers. Recent estimates suggest there are about 180. 00 militias around the country most of them support president are heavily armed and believe in conspiracy theories. What is happening right now is our government is in the midst of a coup. Theres certain members of our government who are actively working to change this government from what its designed to be the land of opportunity theyre trying to turn us into some sort of socialist government a new form of government humanitarianism. I dont know who or why exactly but it really doesnt matter who or why it all that matters is it doesnt happen. This german build limousine is the flagship of american wolf travels around the us really in support. D. S. Is on his way to Portland Oregon to see the blacklegs matter protests for himself he says there are intrinsically violent. D. S. Has long since cast his verdict before taking a look for himself he insists that he is not the dangerous one rather the demonstrators he never leaves the pistol out of his reach saying he has to be ready to defend himself. Women see. You know these people that are down there theyre not protesters theyre criminals and theyre actively working to help the stabilize our government to destroy our way of life thats what were up against right now is going down and for right here and throwing rocks or breaking windows and eating shops how does that have anything to do whatsoever with racial equality they use the b o m movement simply to keep public support. Demonstrators have been taking to the streets of portland every day for 3 months now most of the protests have to be peaceful but there has been fatal clashes between opposing demonstrators. The self anointed peace Keepers Mission begins with a confrontation directly with black life matters protesters. I. Know this man openly threatens violence. Despite the crowds the militia men refuse to wear face masks the demonstrators are appalled. That they were Walking Around as a group of people and to a group of people surrounded by a group of people while not wearing face coverings despite that being the law understandably so because they were in the middle of a pandemic like world Wearing Masks and i believe like some of it has to do with i our president i feel is let that kind of behavior and that ideology just orange and i think that now they think that they have power. When again were all here for black lives matter and theyre all here for White Supremacy so theres a clear. You know theres a clear difference of opinion and their opinion is not welcome here its actually not welcome anywhere. D. S. Insists that his militia is not racist but the situation escalates quickly he accuses a demonstrator of taking part because shes high on drugs shes not on drugs thats not free dont start that shes far from drunk you dont deny you look at that thats a little white they about black people own dreads dont start there dont start there dont start there. Dont start there are getting used to that in the end in my opinion when it gets to this type of a mob mentality it should be dispersed thats where i stand with that. Police hanging back i understand that theyre worried about the numbers growing but i would handle the situation differently if i had that manpower and equipment and. Without the police to help peta d. S. And his men have to beat a retreat from the demonstrators. Oh here we go. To no show wisconsin shortly afterwards in late august again the police shoot an afro american angry protesters set fire to a building. The militias demanding tough action against black lives matter and wants to see the police disband thats all together. Violence is quickly becoming the new normal on the streets of america once again Police Used Tear Gas against demonstrators. They respond with burning barry. Ates. And suddenly the militia men appear the self annoying to defenders of law and order. Then the situation gets out of control a 17 year old trumps supporter hans stone and shoots 2 black lives matter protesters. The police make no effort to stop or arrest him. Exclusive footage shot by our camera team shows the shooter shortly after the killings Walking Around unchallenged it was not until the following day that he was arrested and charged with murder. American wolf later declared him a hero and collected tens of thousands of dollars in donations for his Legal Defense perspective double murder a good words of support from very high up direct from the white house to begin he was trying to get away from them i guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that were looking at right now and its under investigation but. I guess so he was in very big trouble he would have been he probably would have been killed.
