matter is in the meeting between separate gravity now the u.s. government has a sign in to terminate the temporary protected status of more than two hundred sixty thousand immigrants from el salvador. protesters rallied against the move outside the white house people from el salvador to live and work in the u.s. up to two large earthquakes hit that country in two thousand and one that so-called temporary protected status will not end in september next year people hanes move from washington d.c. . the department of homeland security says in eighteen months two hundred sixty two thousand five hundred people are going to have to leave this country and go back to el salvador they can even say how many kids could be impacted it's likely many of them are parents to children born here in the united states so they're there for american citizens they are giving them eighteen months to figure out how to go home

after that they lose their work permits likely their jobs and they risk deportation now previous presidents both democrats and republicans have continued the program even though it was initially because of the earthquake the terms of ministration saying that it has been repaired what previous presidents allowed the permit program to continue because el salvador is such a eight economically depressed country with such a high crime rate trouble mr asian says those artificial factors so they're ending the program put it out there that of course congress could fix it if they don't well president trump says they have to go twenty four civilians have been killed in the syrian city of government. the region government forces are advancing on the rebel held territory forcing thousands of civilians to flee to wards of turkish border all position forces have been reduced to a few strongholds that are currently under siege to accuse to extended states of emergency for a further three months it was due to expire on january the nineteenth this is the

more news in thirty minutes here on al-jazeera next we continue with our investigations the only gox. ah. the president on the run the absurdity of corruption was amazing. billions stolen al-jazeera is investigative unit has obtained a cache of secret files sounds like an agreement between the criminal boss is going to sign it with your blood and nation roll but with the help of western banks. to use london as a safe haven it's a kind of business and we reveal how ukraine is being robbed for a second time under the nose of fuel storage fees we simply didn't have

confirmation and this looks like come from each of the proceeds go to an oligarch in hiding a man fueling a war forged by russian separatists in ukraine just shows the way these guys do business the genius of it read the first three or you don't have enough trouble in the me out of how much. information you present it is what i call the pipe through which dirty money from russia ukraine and other countries all flow through. the south hopefully is kind of cool stuff and light on his knowledge full of chance that says the scenes. during the uprising kiev's musicians headed to independence square alongside thousands of protesters among them was all for trade tatiana

switch up stuff. from aleph i'm looking for the fulfillment there in the feeling you. get a lot of play i'll have so much show yet be better left their actual national for me from the case channel here kids at the national mall my book. i. the president had refused to sign an agreement to bring ukraine closer to europe. the goal of revolution was not only striving towards the end the goal was also to haue the set playing of the fair rules of the game and the evolution was against corruption. the three months kiev's independence square became a battlefield over a hundred people lost their lives. then one february night ukraine's president began to move house. them president

viktor yushchenko vich fled his country with help from russian special forces he was flown by helicopter to moscow. oh. i. think it's a little complex and will show several behalf of that a bad first half. in the system washed over for lunch i think for tatyana ukraine's leaders like villains in a comic opera. will cry in the risky because to live in la quinta for there to flock to show with each other. the day should run away from the country the entire korean treasury and its accounts had a few thousand dollars so the point is that entire treasury was dropped. we will.

soon after the revolution ukraine's people discovered how their president had been living. of socialism isn't that iraq is not that vision you don't. extend the sort of absurdity of corruption was amazing to sixty. henri log cabin i think the biggest loan company in the world set in the amazing est. if you can award it you know going to run a day. was the. last. system box store. i had a question and you know. in the. only little bit of bush. previously the palace was he didn't from view even on satellite maps. but now a nationalist group runs guy did tools of this monument to corruption.

lose the book was city of ninety one that's four dollars when these nollywood for a liver see you received green this was sudden it was all the month of the month business was up what they would. make in the ninos to make new stuff from above them by just this wattles keep those store like you need to balad north this is just sort seems so nobody. stanley. for drawing. just said do we got to put this. there than is out. there when you study cohen as a muslim have sex with you will sort of. course and then both visit you do they but of course we're not a what. of the team or. no men that are. super killed yet but

the amount of support it supposes decisional but. the power is still god's a secrecy them with the name of its real owner. so there's the be a q.b. on the ball which are in a quote which did not keep money on his name even if she's main homes where she spent the last years of she's life in ukraine it was registered on the charity fund not on the in goshen stuff behind that charity the dizzying web of companies based in tax havens around the world.

i'm will jordan i've come to kiev ukrainian capital. al-jazeera as investigative unit has obtained a drive filled with hundreds of documents about yana curvatures network. bank statements contracts and e-mails from twenty eleven through the revolution until twenty fifteen. they place viktor yushchenko vage the ultimate eastern european all agog at the helm of the 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 we've called it the quick pace deal. unbelievable. it sounds like an agreement between criminal busts it kind of side it was your blood.

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 holds one hundred sixty million dollars of that in cash and forms but prosecutors froze this money because it's stolen it can't be legally bought nor sold on straight tests it's the point of this is attached to a country that. as a lawyer i read this document or that or said that it's not illegal i wouldn't expect any court to enforce chocolate. just shows the. the way these guys do business i mean the genius of it really. the quick pace deal involves to 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 courts 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 got an account of watch. we've got that evidence that establishes which all of dogs are trying to make illicit profits from the quick pace deal. as we've shown this to investigators including john benton the former head of the international corruption unit at britain's national crime agency these are really really complex investigations you've got to go through thousands and thousands and thousands. documents it's 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 what's very planning for them moving they say a criminal offense. all ideas are frozen yes exist think it's proceeds of crime it's like trading in stolen goods that have been taken by the place you know put in a cash in the getaway car yet. all documents revealed by one in the quick face deal is an alexander want to shrink who operates behind offshore company fast a low trading limited fuel typical ukrainian oligarch. oligarchy is a term that most people didn't know twenty years ago it's kind of come out of the russian system that of the russian privatization program these are extremely rich people. just with the old

enough forces is a flamboyant oligarchy like spending money on expensive things like the old. he sponsored the miss ukraine contest and partied with the stars coming around us and paris hilton john claude van down. a nation coat the like a lot of ukrainians made money in the gas business. and. i started to produce. in ukraine actually if they did. biggest company that too was sold. thirty years ago. on a shank i was seeking asylum in europe and agreed to be interviewed because he believed it would help clear his name but first we didn't say that we knew about the secret quick pace deal he was happy to talk about his famous friends.

you know donald trump yeah she's doing a horse competition in. beach also she was no one of this compassed miss universe and in one of these and most mentioned there was a relationship was. all documented revealed by a two in the quick pace deal pavel folks his company which is to international incorporated. is a real estate tycoon who featured in a russian business program. seem to combine you must see to see mean if she's not going to teach could get by sure things can last on these e.q. folks promotes a hard man image deal boom boom boom the foot in the world of. like by a one folks is friends with now u.s. president donald trump has negotiated with him several times since two thousand and

four but never completed a deal to build a trump hotel in moscow. president putin has almost forks for his contribution to the russian economy focus on several prestigious properties in the russian capital. he built this complex in partnership with the powerful son in law of former russian president boris yeltsin. another parno was a cosmic businessman later sentenced to jail over a multi billion dollar fraud. because. he's a tough boss. the ocean you know that you are going to win as long as you can go to them do it in one court a few of the one hundred you put here that was a go to include you could do good initial push from the good doc i never equated it with. syria which can discuss. it with them because they are liquid.

mr and mrs folks publish social media snaps with a high profile jeweler and his wife. jacob arab it was jailed for two years in two thousand and eight in a us money laundering case. folks socializes with influential politicians a russian m.p. from president putin's posse now a senior banker the mayor of ukraine second city kharkiv left in a wheelchair after a mafia style assassination attempt. what's interesting about him is the extent to which he shows that the separation between ukraine and russia can be a bit skin-deep the elites of both ukraine and russia for that is basically the same country the money flows backwards and forwards the business deals going backwards and forwards. a recent leak of offshore company documents the panama papers establishes folks at the helm of

a huge global business empire. it begins with his offshore company which is their international incorporated registered incident kitts and nevis. it has holdings in companies all over the globe in directly in golden eagle trust in new jersey. owned by billionaire v.j. maleo today facing extradition to india on fraud charges which he denies another link mining in tanzania and cameroon to palm oil billionaires in malaysia even state run pharmaceuticals in cuba where they will operate as a kind of. transnational clan that have the lawyers and scientists that have that money in up here it's an international structure which they've created since the fall of the soviet union which is very very resilient and very hard to penetrate. since the collapse of the soviet union a quarter century ago ukraine's been coached between russia and the west. most of

the twenty fourteen revolution a pro western governments been in place. really looks launched a war on corruption fooled by a national anti corruption bureau built on american and european money. but it may have still mobile made up and yet. this indian also thought. that in the moment it got the volume was that it was the bureau's well known for arresting low level judges and civil servants and counting out their cash on camera . but it hasn't gotten any high level convictions to put to have a question bush says that only. going to lead to good police shows no his or wasn't his motion which was put to him in june wasn't a boarding it was given it was a militia shamus a petunia. it appears that the revolution that toppled yana cove it did not remove

the oligarchs who served him. across the pond in my view both of the shows of the process that would push and post. at the casket i'm going to do this this. had so clean the screen and you said that but it was not suppose she did. at the far. one in the quick pace deal alexander i want to show is on the run in western europe with his riches. the ukraine government says he swindled them out of a one hundred million dollars on a gas deal want to go says the president. told him to bribe m.p.'s and has now turned against him. more to do in a hurry and that's what. europe. actually does with cases political motivation case. when you say you're against corruption

there but you pay bribes you've been corrupt or have been not corrupt i did just so actually what the president say and in the whole country. that is not the other way there is a lot of we. want to go is the anti corruption bureaus most wanted fugitive. their hunting him for the gas window. they raided his office in march twenty sixth dean even had his mother arrested in madrid during that raid we understand they picked up a copy of our document the quick pace deal. despite this they seem to be doing little to bring the oligarchs involved to justice. and. mr is it was is can businessmen a foursome who could get it so in the. role of the. justice then you would do it. for you miss and some do but it is to need. to

have all folks a man whose business empire spans the globe. retraced some of his property assets. mrs fox is a social media star regularly in london the photographer always takes pictures in the same place the market belgravia neighborhood near the spanish embassy. and a home sweet home. we located the building property records show it was purchased in twenty twelve for twenty five million pounds or around forty million dollars by another company by. based in the british virgin islands called latina associates ltd using a mortgage from barclays bank. the panama papers leak reveals that latina associates is owned by mrs folks and mr folks whose company to which is the international. london is

a favorite destination for many oligarchs their money. on the international front you said. we don't just. the professional services that can be hijacked you used. we also have all the trimmings where you buy want to spend good money. in london you buy anything you buy yourself a mansion it comes into you buy yourself a lot of fun outside the base you buy yourself a yacht a lot but. this building in central london houses a company called chesterfield group. it's what's called a company formation agent a crucial tool for any oligarchs such as pavel folks. for a small fee they'll set up a company for you and you can remain anonymous it can be off shore with an address that's not yours the name's direct it won't be you the name secretary won't be you you simply control it in the background or you will know many cutouts protect your identity.

if anyone ever comes to ask the question they just are throw their hands up in the air and say i don't know i was just nominee director and i was this just a field group. and i came to ask you some questions about how to folks as effectively you have these cut out characters then depersonalize and distance the money from any of the real perpetrators of the situation we mailed in cool to you but you didn't respond you can create a company in the next thirteen pounds and it takes you have done it in the in minutes alone. no one checks the information that you provide. and there are three hundred fifty thousand companies created by company formation agents in the u.k. every year. this office and chesterfield group a closely linked to folks. just

a field's building is owned by a company based in the british virgin islands gober a group bought in twenty fifteen for around five million dollars with a barclays mortgage. gerbera group is owned by folks whose company to just an international just a field has branches in cyprus i love my island the bahamas and of course london in many cases dorchester international is the named director. if you could a company formation agent register that company formation agent is fully companies see you their. media early suspicious huge huge alarm about. just the field appears to be a captive company formation agent in other words creating companies for its owner. this makes perfect sense may not always know how to get on your own company fresh as you want to sell them to your mates give them a. christmas present and get his

a london company or the bank account. in part two we confront alexander on a shankar one of the buyers of quick pace. there is like kind of business that you can buy cheaper in the car tool to fix the program to make the money. and we reveal the man believed to be the seller of the frozen assets. the is unbalanced and an inch is a vengeful person a principled and ruthless. on counting the cost for a look at the economic reasons behind the rest in the middle east second largest economy plus new year new rules for european finance but that's not all we'll ask the chief global economist at u.b.s. what's his dangerous idea counting the cost this time on al-jazeera

money is held in a company called quick pace limited. is involved to all agog pavel folks and alexander on a shank are planning to buy quick pacers frozen assets at a knockdown price. and. it sounds like an agreement between a criminal boss is going to sign it with your blood. now we reveal where the stolen money is destined and the identity of the reclusive third all agog believed to be selling the frozen assets. of an inch is a vengeful person unprincipled and ruthless. a story about documents takes us back to the heyday of the corruption of ukraine's former president yana code which. deep into one network of his offshore companies.

it traces the path of hundreds of millions of dollars out of ukraine from twenty eleven to his a scape in twenty forty. three foreign bank accounts and into the pockets of young and covert and his cronies. as ukraine that came into town until ninety nine to one. it has been essentially looted by its elites again and again and again and didn't tactics they use are essentially always identical. faceless lawyers accountants and bankers helped pass hundreds of millions of dollars around the network. some as loans referenced redistribution of means some as payments for building materials own mellotron mix some for cost motorbikes even pocky flooring. the philosophy of money launderers is to create

a situation where the money has moved to so many different companies in so many different countries and in so many different accounts thereby effectively laundering and because nobody has the resources to figure it out. while he was still in power the young curvature network used quick pace to launder money sometimes moving relatively small amounts fire complex with the help of western banks. one document showed a payment of four point four million dollars made by quick pace from its nominal home as a cyprus registered company. the money was held in a quick pace account in vienna with austria as mine all back. it was wired to an account in frankfurt with commas back. on to do each a bank in new york. it ended up at bolton international bank in latvia new count of a shell company folks trying networks limited folks strong like quick pace is registered

in cyprus. one of the banks appear to have raised a red flag what's called a suspicious activity report. it's very easy for a bank to throw out a suspicious activity as a to present but the trouble is who's digesting this this is sent to your courts and the answer is in many cases nobody. the documents linking quick pace to folks trying networks in turn link quick pace to one of the world's highest profile money laundering scandals it was discovered by russian accountants surrogate magnitsky he was working for an investment firm based in my. and run by bill browder. surrogates opposed it he was then arrested tortured and killed in prison. the russian government says magnitsky died of natural causes and accuses browder of the fraud browder claims russian officials stole two hundred thirty million dollars

in state funds huge quarter billion dollar russian government embezzlement synonymous with justice and corruption in russia frightening reminder of how quickly money can disappear. all documents reveal that folk strong networks had been wired money by quick pace in march twenty fourth. we then discovered that folks strong was owned by one of the companies at the heart of the magnitsky affair final limited. final limited is one of the central. parts of the apparatus like the. spigot on the i. final is effectively a nominee company that is the director for a number of very crucial. points in this money laundering network. both quick pace and the company it would money to folks trying networks are

registered in cyprus. which ukrainians funnel their money offshore to cyprus and then on boards beyond and then bring it back again so it looks like foreign investments you can't really tell it lends it. in the quick pace deal another side first company prone to service limited is named as the seller of the one hundred sixty million dollars in frozen assets. but prone to service is just to cut out a nominee shareholder it owns the assets on paper but the real owner is hiding behind it. christine osiris is the name secretary of prone to service the cyprus by. and offshore expert. cyrus refused our request for an interview or to divulge the name of the person behind produce service but we tracked it down in a secretly recorded conversation she confirmed to that quick pace had been sold. but can't

a company quit. that's because i remember it was about one person and it was an act that. the cyprus company registry shows quick pace was transferred to one of couple books says many companies and the more property holdings with the help of his company formation agent just a feel. the leaked documents also provide evidence that the quick pace deal was done or at least that is first phase began. folks apparently made a payment from a london bank transfer two million dollars from barclays canary wharf georgia bank in new york was used to move the money they passed it to an offshore company with an account in latvia and a mystery owner the money went through no red flags. western

banks have had a hard time making money over the last few years so when somebody shows up and says i'd like to set up an account with one hundred million dollars then you have to look for a pretty good reason not to set up that account. all the documents in the link lead us to a british village north of london under british law this type of company that allows foreigners to avoid tax and scrutiny it's called a limited liability partnership. companies for it some people call them getaway cars for corrupt money i have heard a better described as on the plate. one of the companies is registered here this is the official office of a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars resources l.l.b. . according to bank statements leaked to us finkel made three hundred twenty eight million dollars in just six months of twenty fifteen. but in public

accounts filed with u.k. authorities can call claimed it made less than seven thousand it looks like fraud so we came to ask about it. the managers of the address of the registered office had refused our request for an interview. one is well chilled my work without is there are. we doing a an investigation into. ukraine. this hard future office has registered over fifteen hundred companies so the people who work here just run a postbox service. with the director secretary and address all being proxies finding out who really owns a company can be almost impossible. if you own something in your own name then you can just look on the company register on the property register as other

you go to all of his house. but if i own that house in a company of british and if my british company is owned by that's a separate company that my cypriot companies are owned by let's say panamanian company and if my panamanian cup is owned by i need his company. then if you want to find out who owns this house you have to go to every one of those jurisdictions and asked them. who owns that company. hello. hello i wanted to ask about a couple of companies. simcoe resources. from coal resources features in the files. it's know many directors were also involved in the magnitsky scandal. a lot being citizen called your event and signs the papers for the fin co is just a cutout for the person who really owns and controls the company. another director

is stan goren again a cutout whose name is regularly used as a front man by money launderers these name directors may be paid for the nominee role but are likely ignorant of any fraud. information you've presented is what i call the pipe this is the pipe through which dirty money from russia ukraine and other countries in that part of the world all flow through is wrong effectively part of the same criminal operation. the pipeline leads to moscow. as well as the links with the magnitsky affair the documents feature hundreds of emails from lawyers based in. s. o. concerned to conceal the name of their client they write in cryptic language. good evening. february twenty sixth twenty fifteen put the book on the top shelf.

technical gus read the book and give a positive review of the. council decision of three floors to leave in force the decision of wanting to flows. sincerely is agreed in my supervisor. but who is the supervisor. we found the answer buried deep in a key document. a loan agreement shows quick pace was used to put up collateral by a company called veteran media invest in order to borrow huge funds in october twenty fifth. vetter belongs to a surrogate to check out known as the baby faced gasking of ukraine by age twenty seven he was worth four hundred million dollars. from a presidency on a covert apparently treated him like a wall it. gave cash to the president whenever he needed it.

he was given control of a chunk of the gas train he made a lot of money for himself and then he cut back most of it and to his political patrons which was you know your coverage winter just sun. there's more evidence pointing to kitchen coas the cellar. a lawyer called boris gets off appears in the e-mails. russian business records show he's director of united media holdings. united media used to belong to surrogate kitchen co. co was just businessmen but i can say a very talented corrupt judge because he used. the word tricky schemes very unusual schemes to steal like. today he's in hiding in moscow wanted in ukraine sanctioned in the u.s.

and europe. his office is in a skyscraper complex developed by pavel folks his company's. two of his former drivers told us more about him. to change to his boys asking when we will arrive if you don't answer immediately you'll be fired. it was the worst job i ever had. he swears he screams at his employees he fires two to three people every month is very inadequate. the drivers are worried that they'll be in danger if their former boss finds out they've been talking to us. these unbalanced and i mean she is a vengeful person unprincipled and ruthless. goes only given three interviews to journalists one was you've done gallen all of. you which in that you'll only by your not lived up to in this relief think that we're still we don't have

enough government in the mean yeah i'm a. yes i assume you know the whole. damn near. gusher style i.q. school had to save the porches. and yours for coitus. by the boston thing you remember your difficult affair almost i need you to wish to have a news from you know. we tracked down check your using information from his former chauffeurs. is guarded by outgroup former counterterrorism special forces. they have fought in wars and have state medals they are armed with rubber bullets. just before seven am the guards receive information that he's coming they get in position. there are five cars eighteen people in the convoy. because of fitted and signal blockers with

a two hundred meter range. the convoy includes a security travels in the second bullet proof. as a mobile ambulance with a medic. as a fourth vehicle blocking the entrance to the complex. and a fifth sweep a car. to change at an argument some chechen guy's in a restaurant after that stepped up a security. kitching to rushes out glimpsed for a split second before he's inside. the building. his staff bring his things and the drivers park and white. we often drive into the ministry of economic development the ministry of natural resources the national space agency. also the russian presidential administration. state gas for gazprom.

state oil for rosneft. state funded d.t.b. bank. i'm just going to. do a couple of east into space is called. i'm going to do this should be don't think. it's there it's still in your words thank you there was more of this to show when you stress that i want to. ukraine spy agency reports that he's helping the russian side in the conflict in ukraine. he's running some of the biggest coal oil and gas companies in annexed crimea and the areas controlled by russian separatists almost always has all of. a stomach. and i'm just wondering you know all guns for the next corner of news.

in most countries you have the government of criminals businessmen in russia all those distinctions practically disappear. it's their interest afresh to destroy ukraine from inside it's against the interest of friendly. for ukraine to succeed you know on to corruption. through the quick pace deal we've uncovered approach to profit from the billions stolen by the clan surrounding former prime ukrainian. didn't think deion a coach. a baby faced billionaire used dozens of lawyers seemingly to turn frozen assets into clean money. our evidence was confirmed by one of the buyers of quick face. because one of the businessman trumper eggs government. that it was action.

for on a shank or buying assets stolen in a grand corruption case is just another day at the office. because like kind of business that you can buy cheap rent a car to. go fix the program to make the money it's about to come when i revealed that we had the quake based document on a shared code tonight that the deal went ahead. it was like normal business but this one has not happened yet we didn't buy it didn't know they wanted to sell us assets which was already frozen they gave us a very good discount but then with chick coarsely on course and vocal on for the record. they may not yet have made money but our evidence directly contradicts on the shank his account that the deal did not go ahead official documents recorded a change of ownership of quick pace
