Even some of the migrants communicate migrant camembert Community Community members their own sort of stealing or kidnapping some of these migrants and forcing their parents or relations back home to pay ransom before they release the man immediately one person is released another person takes over and demand ransom so its a vicious cycle if you dont pay up they torture you and you go through several systemic abuses inside those detention camps and even the guest houses set up by the human smugglers across libya.

Get a little while that they all laugh so much oh yeah the euro lost their actual nationality for me from the case chin the cute kid had no national its more my book. I. Think the president had refused to sign an agreement to bring ukraine closer to europe the goal of revolution was not only striving towards the e. U. It god was also to how the set play and the fair rules of the game and the evolution was against corruption. The three months kievs Independence Square became a battlefield over a hundred people lost their lives. I found then one february night ukraines president began to move house.

Im will jordan ive come to kiev ukrainian capital. Aljazeera as Investigative Unit has obtained a drive filled with hundreds of documents about yana covert his network. Bank statements contracts and emails from twenty eleven through the revolution until twenty fifteen. They place Viktor Yushchenko vage the ultimate Eastern European all agog at the helm of a global corruption network. This investigation is about how that Network Still operates today and through one crooked contract we see how all the dogs do business often with the unwitting assistance of Western Banks weve called it the quick pace deal. Unbelievable. It sounds like an agreement between criminal busts it kind of side it was your blood that is. By most estimates yet a code which stole billions ukrainian investigators traced and froze one point five billion a cyprus based Company Called quick pace limited told one hundred sixty Million Dollars of that in cash and forms but prosecutors froze this money because its stolen it cant be legally bought nor sold them straight its just its the point of this is attached to a country that. As a lawyer i read this document or that or said that its not illegal i wouldnt expect any court to enforce chalk it. Just shows the. Way these guys do business i mean the genius of it really. The quick pace deal involves two all agog sigrid to buy the company and its one hundred sixty million in frozen assets from a mysterious. The contract is unsigned but our evidence indicates the deal went ahead they treat quick pace like buying a bankrupt company and agree a knock down price of just thirty Million Dollars. They throw in a private jets as part of the payment this is really interesting discovery this is distressed debt basically you get these companies in the city of london who if someone refused to pay their debt they buy it for you know twenty pay on the pound and then do their utmost to get it back and make a profit on it. The oligarchs would make a clean up one hundred thirty Million Dollars profit they believe they can unfreeze the assets or as they call it remove the arrest and pocket the money. They just need to persuade a judge to lift the freeze. And. If you have influence over the course which you do in a corrupt jurisdiction like ukraine you can then use that influence to try and release the assets and make your money out of it. As a majority of judges you claim they are themselves the corruption they asked those accorded to garner quick out of watch. Weve got that evidence that establishes which all of dogs are trying to make illicit profits from the quick pace deal. As weve shown this to investigators including john benton the former head of the International Corruption unit at Britains National crime agency these are really really complex investigations youve got to go through thousands and thousands and thousands. Options its following the money and working out essentially the route the money takes. It appears the quick pace limited was part of a massive embezzlement and Money Laundering network under the yana covert regime. Is it legal to be trading frozen assets its very planning for them moving they say a criminal offense the whole idea is are frozen yes exist think its the proceeds of crime its like trading in stolen goods that have been taken by the place you know put in a cache in the getaway car yet. All documents revealed by one in the quick face deal is alexander i want to shankar who operates behind offshore company fastow Trading Limited fuel typical ukrainian oligarch.
