dramatic impact and the. collapse it's worth remembering that some of the most richest and most powerful people. there were any number of very powerful individuals who did not want the light of day to be shot into this racket for fear of their own identity being. a very very large and a very wide spectrum of very powerful interests in order to try and protect these people. but certainly some of the. the legislation passed wasn't as strong as what it is today. there's an allegation

of political interference so far. there which was basically his headquarters operated. from across the globe including. richard grant and the australians persuaded the canada and new zealand to assist in the operation to bring down. it was the first time the intelligence network was mobilized against an organized crime target.

if. this is the business in dubai that all top canady is operating out of its allies or an exchange the plane was for an elaborate sting using code that produce undercover being briefed to make contact welcome on top tonight directly. the plan was to infiltrate the undercover agent into the community organization to establish ourselves as the highest traffickers or money launderers that we can appear to be too tough konami it was then to develop the evidence that we would then be able to indict him in the united states we were posing as drug traffickers and we had money to be laundered and we solicited all tough konami to launder our money for us and you know greed is a powerful tool and anytime someone can make money in this world they'll jump at the chance. give these guys a cost undercover agents across the world organized to set up

a fictitious drug syndicate which would contract konami to launder its cash. to look like real drug traffickers that made a substantial amount of cash to launder into konami's network and that is where the strategy and taxpayer came into the picture. to federal law enforcement agencies put up the money this is one of the more interesting parts of the strategy used in going back to our c.e.o. and pitching to him that we need a quarter million dollars and we're going to give the somebody that we really didn't know with the hype and the promise that he would deliver that money into another country so most police forces would balk at the fact that you lose two hundred fifty thousand dollars because that's the risk we were talking i have to say that. our c.e.o. had the view that we needed to be lawfully. and that's what we did so we found fifty thousand dollars in the budget and fortunately at the time that we're doing

that the strong federal police come on board. the eye of p d in another one million dollars the million dollars that was provided by the strong federal police was actually util laws to one of those funds in that reverse transaction police to identify how the system worked and the threshold for the indictment to be realized in the u.s. under there were just solution required that up to and i mean dollars would be laundered before you could secure than. it was vital for a successful prosecution that the undercover agents made contact with the tough konami directly trust is everything we began conversations we provided opportunities for tonight to make money and then when it came time where they were met the road we actually followed through and we gave him what he needed to make

the transaction successful so we gave him the money we gave you can't we told him we told him how we work we told him we were drug traffickers. an undercover agent in australia called him personally. and can only stress are you going to give you. so welcome you soon will you be revealing to the world you. the team prepared to hand over the first bundle of money. the first cash drop was critical the d. i put one hundred thousand dollars in unmarked bills and told bag and gave it to their on the coverage and it was meant to make cannot he's a man in a car park in new jersey. was at a dunkin donuts up in new jersey area they met the parking lot. of

our undercover meet some linklater sign the token or the dollar bill is the serial numbers correct and they exchange a curse so that was that was the first that was first. came out he had promised to wire back the money minus his commission virus seemingly legitimate business in the middle east now the to take would have to white to see if they really had fooled him. waiting for the money to return was was the worst part of. what's happenin. after attempts five guys phoned richard grant to give him the good news. and had wired back these tragedies money the money gone through and the job was a success so when you were on a roll. with the first batch of money through the cash drops continued its houston atlanta. he was kind of

amazing to see how we can throw out a state or an area where we needed money picked up and cannot he was able to reach into his rolodex and dial up somebody to help us with that. a little. bit. in one recorded conversation while tough going on he revealed he was worried. to which you. were. going to the few to go. push it. at one point the operating system. there was a moment where we were waiting i think up to twelve days for money to come back and the undercover. who brilliantly on his feet and rather than threaten violence to k'naan you which we wouldn't do. utilize the threat of violence against him so then a cover when he tossed a can and tells him

a lesson if you don't he'll give me this money back soon the cartels going to cut my head off and use it as a soccer ball and i think i got konami's attention that. you know i need to move faster with this. the detectives needed visual confirmation it was tough konami. for. a laser done on your facility see you. you're looking lovely chill. at the time what we had was a number of conversations between the undercover operative and which will recorded and the very damning but at the time we actually can put a face to the voice we had no physical meetings with all to often and so to get that identification confirmed it was decided to do a skype video call and that that's kind of what put us over the top of the

identification. in the scott called the undercover who was in astrology are invited to come and visit. here. for. the agent told me he was calling about a new business opportunity. or. do you believe these are new yorkers. he said his new contact needed to move more money more quickly. although you know i will tell you there were like you know the. one. we wanted

to go from. room to. room full of birth but. i really didn't want to believe the word. konami had no idea that the noose was tightening. after thirty six dies the operation reached a critical point. the undercover to. he needed money picked up in texas and county and always made it happen. this was where they had another cash drop and it's where they hit the magic number of a million us dollars laundered through the county network. over a million dollars you were just in the penalties were significantly higher and we wanted to move over a million dollars because that would reflect the level of criminality he was

exhibiting and the impact he was having on the country's. all the stuff over. the us and us trying to take dave's had successfully laundered more than a million us dollars through counties network now the had to find a country to both arrest him and get him extradited to the united states once we went to the loo or capture freeze we had to find a place that konami would be comfortable traveling to develop an airplane like how we're going to do this how we're going to how we're going to catch this guy and so we basically drill down to panama was a was a good country for us we do a lot of work down there and they were they were interested in helping us. they needed to come up with a y. to persuade altaf konami to get on a plane and leave dubai undercover started building

a story about his traveling down south and central america and that we had we had more business as drug traffickers we had more business that was happening there in south america and that if the nominee could come there and meet meet some of the cartel members of what we would say then we would be able to give him more business . cards are. very good. the fine. the sweetener was the offer of a panamanian passport so i think that was a too big of a carrot for him to refuse. the operation was about to reach its climax from an unmarked tank. in florida to a special agent john craven got ready to fly to panama to confront canady.

slews expecting to meet the needs of a major south american cartel he was even for sure. the plane is on the tarmac surrounded by armed guards police police cars everywhere and so were brought into the detention or holding area. is all tough guys brought out of this and then yes the sounds of a ford when he's turned over along with all his property is turned over to us what's going through your cable is really arab and this is this is a pretty amazing moment so very happy that the case come to a culmination and we've got this guy i remember i think of going home at that stage and i find it suddenly the finding and the gun then there was a text which a photograph of could not be surrounded by agents in cuffs it was

a wonderful thing. was flown out of panama and back to florida. you know as the wheels lift the plane takes off you can tell these start to think about like what is really going on and so then he starts asking us questions like what is it that can do to get out of this situation well unfortunately for him that there was no way to get out of the situation this was the end of the line for a lot of cannot. outof konami pleaded guilty. in return for assisting ill thora g.'s in my last year he received only five and a half he is in child. with us sanctions in place against his family and associates the kanani network has been dismantled others have emerged to take it's place. there are other networks for example out of vietnam and

a few by hong kong the business that does last of the kind on network is taken down simply gets picked up on all the money laundering and what i think the biggest message that everyone can take from this and all the drug traffickers and money launderers in the world is that nobody's untouchable. were. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life so that would eventually i'm fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need chapters we need also to shine the light on those captives and this award bridges that gap that existed in this.

friends and colleagues from around the world now fear the worst they said he entered a consulate and he left and we don't know what happened but his wife was out there is so he didn't leave so that's a that's a fact and i think you're probably true that he didn't leave because the video with which you will see her nephew days i mean it's just not credible and i think anybody who has a sense of decency should understand that this is something not acceptable it's not acceptable citizen because it's new due to a different country and just abducted or whatever i mean well the operation since his disappearance senior turkish officials have held back from speaking on record in an attempt to avoid the diplomatic fallout with the saudis however on sunday president right up taber iran had this to say version of only the letter and the prosecutor general and a standalone extensively investigating this incident from a security intelligence perspective checking of the records of departure an interest them by airport in particular is ongoing we are awaiting the results of

these investigations that said for us to see such an incident taking place in my country mr jamal is an old friend of mine that's why my expectation is still in good faith i wish we don't come up against a situation that we don't desire i do believe that the defenders of freedom and freedom of opinion in our country will follow this matter as president of turkey i will follow this closely and i will announce the results no matter what to the world. was the former editor in chief of saudi media outlets a lot up and then what on and was closed to members of the saudi royal family last year however and after the rise of crown prince mohammed bin said a man was banned from writing allegedly because of his comments on the kingdom's relationship with u.s. president donald trump shortly after hushed. she fled his homeland to live in self-imposed exile in washington he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was

a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom needs the type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul it's around one pm on tuesday several hours later a saudi official told his fiance who was waiting outside that he wasn't in the building turkish security sources say a group of saudi officials flew into stumble on the day of his disappearance and were at the consulates when herschel she was there three days later turkey's foreign ministry summoned saudi arabia's ambassador to encourage and crown prince mohammed bin some months or turkish police could search the saudi consulates they then invited journalists in to show cultural jew was not there after turkish police announced they were conducting a murder investigation saudi arabia state news agency denied accusations that he was murdered in their consulate the washington post which questions she wrote

opinion pieces for said if the reports of jamal's murder a true it's a monstrous and unfathomable act tomorrow was or as we hope is a committed courageous journalist the disappearance of question she is adding further strain to turkish saudi relations with officials here saying they will be releasing security camera video and other evidence if an acceptable explanation from the saudis isn't forthcoming. al-jazeera istanbul. in other world news indonesia's disaster relief spokesman says that as many as five thousand people may be missing after last week's earthquake and tsunami that figure is significantly higher than the one thousand officials initially estimated would be where b. were buried beneath the rubble that is asked to relieve spokesman also announced that the search for victims will end on thursday at this point they say their victims will be listed as missing presumed dead andrew thomas has more on what will happen next to the villages. and potomac. if they five thousand missing people did

indeed lose their lives it would more than triple the overall death toll that we know about already now the estimate has been reached by talking to community leaders and local government leaders about who they think is still unaccounted for so the could be some double counting going on or it could be that people left the city in the aftermath of the earthquake and didn't let anybody know so we have to be cautious with that figure nevertheless it is believable standing here this is one of the two areas of the city most devastated by the earthquake here and elsewhere in another part of the city but tobe over the other side the ground liquefied during the earthquake swallowing everything in on itself the government in this press conference also said that this area and the other will be four states people will not return here they'll be big parks memorial parks to remember what happened here they've also revealed that back in twenty twelve geological surveys

were carried out and they knew that this part of the city was vulnerable to liquefaction so there will be some questions asked there the government says the search will be scaled down significantly from the eleventh of october after then it's really the point at which bodies to compile used to the degree that you can't make identifications so this will essentially become a mass grave and the government has said as well that they will allocate thirty seven million u.s. dollars to the reconstruction of this part of the wiser. china has told interpol that the organization's president mangal way is under investigation man who is chinese went missing after returning to beijing last month making her first public appearance meng's wife told reporters a husband center a picture of a knife signaling he was in danger manning is a former chinese vice minister of public security. the u.s. president a north korean leader have agreed to meet again as soon as possible for more talks

venezuela is today for the third. the important thing is that brazil will have a second round vote the second round is always are we need opportunity for people to compare the projects i've always been in favor of a second round because of this reason so people will have the opportunity to compare the proposals to compare the candidates profiles to compare each one's history to study what each one has done for brazil and what each one intends to do live to terry suppose in brazil's biggest city it's all panel you on a polling station teresa what's the turn out been like. well there's been hundreds of people coming here every hour if the rain hasn't stopped them around twenty thousand people are expected to vote at this polling center so far the situation has been calm year but doesn't hasn't been the same

situation in other parts of the country were around one hundred thirty four people were detained because of violating electra law the other thing that has been ongoing is that there's been some incidents with a biometric system that is being used to identify people in some states that has generated some delays and some long lines of people waiting to be able to cast their ballots and also we have seen lots of activity of the supporters where they show a video where they're casting their ballot at putting the seventy number which is the number of his list for the presidency using a gun and that's something that has shocked and scared many of those that we have spoken to about three hours left in this station before it shut down seven about five hours which was started here in the first results are both so narrow the far right candidate is confident of winning in the first round but the polls have shown that they could be a second round if that happens will there be in this.
