for it. is a very flamboyant. it's like a magnet he has this way of pulling people to him to show him this is richness this is power this is how you can succeed. my knowledgeable r. and his wife kiran have never spoken before about what they witnessed 1st hand belongs to malaysian businessmen recruited by only one fred to run my dominique a trade house in kuala lumpur he says they organized lavish promotions attended by senior dominique and politicians who expected gifts. loss of moderate pens wallets leather where katia watchers jewelry we had them bars of all autographed huge printed out with my dog treat all stamped on how much of it was the value of each of those bones from the 15000.

after 6 months of hosting several domini can delegations one friend welcome dominique as prime minister roosevelt skerritt to malaysia he came with a present for fred. received his diplomatic passport to the hands of the prime minister and he came down the hall and he had a big leverage potty. mouths so i just got my passport promises give me a passport. and iranian anyone for it was now dominique his ambassador from in asia. he was a holiday clown like he received and he was a king he's a excellence you call him excellency i can call you. know you're going to call me x. and see the rules of diplomatic relations laid down by the united nations in the vienna convention. ambassadors can live tax free in the country they're appointed.

diplomatic bags can't be in. their homes in embassies combi searched. and ambassadors a newly. one fred quickly exploits that at the my dominique a trade house office in kuala lumpur a rowdy party leads to a police raid 20 cops came out there went straight to the office locked himself in the office. all he did was show his diplomatic passport and said i'm a diplomat. definitely says walk around. the block say they paid for the house which became on fred's home and the domine can embassy we had to leave right behind his house on that $1500.00 back out cowards. making a record. neighbors were complaining. it is

a prime prestigious state. fred throws a house party and quizzes other ambassadors on the perks of his new job. ask him what you mean what protection what benefits can you carry cash when your backs be checked. we've obtained a secretly recorded conversation from the party it's between the then jordanian ambassador and allemande fred. action and 4. hours. or so. you are. especially. harsh.

i think it is completely wrong to have a conversation about the purpose of guarantees that you can conduct your business on behalf of a nation state without being interfered with mark stephens is an expert on diplomatic law. being an ambassador is somebody who represents a higher level and with the highest levels of probity and integrity their country and their country's interests invariably that person is a citizen of a bashful with dhamma solve all of the country who appoints them. and our investigation as found dozens of examples of caribbean governments pointing foreign is as their diplomats around the world. we find that these small countries often of the bribes.

will call high people with no connection no experience but international criminal law. for some dubious reason the protection the sheer of diplomatic immunity and they buy it which is us and an international scandal geoffrey robertson was involved when the abuse of different addict passports 1st became known. he acted for the wife of a wealthy saudi she sued her husband for a divorce settlement in the british courts but while lead to folly didn't want to pay so how do you get out of a law that everyone else has to a bare very simple. sailed off to sense lucia and lo and behold no time he was made the ambassador to the international

maritime organization. and it never turned out for 2 years never. yet when his wife. application for money. claimed immunity diplomatic immunity is a shield now that was obviously on rangers a british court eventually agreed with his former wife diplomatic immunity didn't apply in a civil divorce case. criminal immunity only applies in the country an ambassador is appointed to. iranian a man for a didn't know that when he thought a diplomatic passport was the answer to all these problems. those problems began on the nation island of level and in 201218 months before one fred set up my

dominique trade alice. my knowledge blahs family ran a shipping business in la go on and on fred contacted him claiming to be an agent for the rainy and government wanting his help. in iran being a sanction they had problems in moving your. i specialize in a remote just ticks. my knowledge but as a solution to international sanctions on selling iranian oil was to disguise where it came from the. ship would come in from iran loaded up with oil. would have anything to stop outside. the mother ship come alongside no thanks they were discharged all onto our storage facilities the oil just. out in the sea for months at times we always saw when fifa come to china to surprise goes up. the sister ship with carla thanks as it's

a direct route straight charge we will be in china within 14 days. after a year it became known china was buying iranian oil so they closed down the operation . didn't know it was mon fred was skimming off the profits stealing from his own iranian government. by 2014 if they were after him as an iranian citizen he was vulnerable to arrest he needed another passport. for it would not leave his house he was so scared then a phone call would come he would jump doctor the door slowly materialize why. he had to fight and that is citizenship. it's called citizenship by investment and it's a major source of income for caribbean and european countries. it's legal the

controversial. wealthy families from asia the middle east and russia invest are around a quarter of a $1000000.00 in luxury resorts or a government scheme in return they get citizenship and a new passport which allows visa free travel to many countries. on fred to acquire knowledge by law with him to dominique or to buy a passport through citizenship by investment to help on for its case well our prime time with other investment ideas for the island officials was so impressed they suggested to me seeing the prime minister's skerritt. hour done for 3 days i was in a casual mode in my shorts and fuchsia i had to or should a parent fall from this get myself prepared since i was going to be the prime minister. says he he did most of the talking and reasonable scary immediately

made him an offer not the kind of possible given to foreign investors but an upgrade to a diplomatic passport conversation skerritt says he doesn't remember why don't you be our ambassador at large. street or if there is a formal ambassadorship trade or a bassinet lodge i replied i said this is the ship offered to another said to me. are you out of your mind and opportunity ideas if you declined or did one friend say to you why he wanted to party but he said i get diplomatic immunity complete i don't have to worry about hearing your kids. we're investigating whether a fully domine can prime minister can broker a deal to make our candidate dominique his ambassador in the philippines and what

it will cost we'll look in your ears with all. our society maybe very little proxy or little silly thing all shook up. all of the serafin confirms diplomatic passports can be bought even by criminals. yesterday houdini of cardboard. he lives on integer his office mistakes. and so on plus there's. a. year of a tradition of those listeners probably being. on the edge of getting on the law here in st paul's have the prayers of the area just ok. those including up saying while a diplomat for dominique kept a bride to u.n.

officials now jailed in america. entirely in francesco carollo gambling tycoon designated a u.n. ambassador awaiting trial for fraud after being on interpol's most wanted list. this is. why they're now struggling for his new boss or to carry it general. myers and those were clear for me and so it was all. so. much wrong. she felt. that a perfect world. it would be really nice to do this to put mary passports to. i don't have that money go to the right close here or. are you going out here you or i go what are we have fortunately or.

our investigation will say takes us to grenada. prime minister keith mitchell as been in power for most of the last 25 years his diplomatic choices don't seem to conform to the spirit of the vienna convention that ambassadors should be nationals of the country and full time diplomats. many of grenada's ambassadors are foreigners with business links to the island although there is no suggestion these diplomats paid for their appointments. oleg fire at runs of the internet firm in miami while grenada's ambassador to moscow hamza al kohli heads a global company while a unesco ambassador in paris. where is designated grenade is ambassador to france but never accepted by the french.

so where is he is one of egypt's richest men he owns the luxury silva satins grenada's premier beach. is now building face to further along the bay. locals via expansion into the joining cameron park the last strip of public land the. adding to the sea. trend of the campaign the sound of the car is a laugh so sweet so the thing. is a part of me it's a part of my life my child that life early it's one of our national assets as a levy so to have this back. we can have a situation as happened in many countries where all the lovely sites were taken up

with commercial development. the residents have become a 2nd class citizen and there is nowhere for them to really enjoy anymore. their fears were reinforced in 2017 when a draft resolution to protect cameron from redevelopment was rewritten by the government. instead of having the park as a place for us to enjoy the fraternity they rewarded this is so that all attempts should be made to prosecute the investors expansion of this project so this is worrying where the government would go to that there. is no evidence nikki where is a paid prime minister michel for his title. by contrast an american conman says he does pay for his ambassadorship. restaurant it is a serial folds who for

a spell operated in the caribbean. david marchant runs the financial crime database offshore alert which investigated eric rest. why would he want the diplomatic post bought when you operate like restaurant and you even know you're under investigation or you know that you will be under investigation at any given time so it provides a level of security. official alert claimed arrest promised prime minister. a $1000000.00 handing over hoffa to swiss villa with a plan to ensure he wasn't double crossed his former head of security told me that he secretly recorded video and. restaurant to giving a briefcase with half a $1000000.00 of cash in $100.00 bills to keith mitchell.

after it was secretly recorded restaurant and told the head of security that if he tries to with may of got him by the balls and the head of security then put all of this down into some form of legal document is that rice for an affidavit i was given a copy of that. the americans jailed arrest on a fraud in 20 is 6 and confiscated the tape without making it public a judicial inquiry accepted prime minister mitchell's explanation he did receive cash but only $15000.00 for travel expenses. if mitchell just wants to enrich himself at the expense of the people who voted him into power and it's disgusting disgraceful. in part to how politicians use possible cash to win elections in the us amounts to.

yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such an international city they are very interested in that global perspective that al-jazeera provides. they're watching all jazeera with me so romney reminds of all top news stories a protester has died while trying to storm a 2nd u.n. compound in the democratic republic of congo that's growing anger from civilians about what they see as a lack of protection from drug bulls the world health organization which has been dealing with the bowl outbreak has also evacuated almost 50 staff members from benny officials in northwestern kenya is a tens of thousands of people have been affected by flooding and landslides at least 52 have been killed in the past few days relief teams have been slow to reach the region and some roads and bridges have been cut off by the flooding mamma did

is at a camp for displaced people in west in northwestern kenya. part of the road and bridges have been swept away by the torrential blood that the area witnessed for most of the week in the thick camp would you just one of numerous that us through long haul western kenya or the northwestern part of the country. there are 7 piled them people was full shelter here most of them of everything they owned livestock the farms there as well as their homes but it is the lawful law that has been more profound all these people a powerful earthquake has said albania killing at least 9 people the 6.4 magnitude quake struck just north of the capital tauranga authorities of call the people to stay out of their homes police in the georgian capital of tbilisi have forced

protesters to move from the entrances to parliament people have been trying to block politicians from getting inside the building and holding a session that they've been demonstrating for weeks demanding an overhaul of the electoral system which they say favors the ruling georgian dream party and flooding continues to hit the italian city of venice the city suffered heavy damage after being flooded several times in the last month the man has previously estimated the repair bill to be around a $1000000000.00 fire crews battling bushfires in a survey eastern australia are celebrating the arrival of heavy rains weeks of wildfires in new south wales have destroyed hundreds of homes. we follow those stories on our web site to tell jazeera dot com and back with the news in 30 minutes but we continue on al-jazeera with al-jazeera investigations to stay with us for. you know what $1000000.00 u.s. dollars 'd can do in an election. does alone could finance or an election.

publishes the new today paper in grenada he says his sources confirm the sale of diplomatic passports this helped keith mitchell stay in power. there is a gentle man he was like the middleman in establishing the communication between these individuals and the government and he was telling me the kind of prices. that is the amount of passports and photo official positions but when you talk it up with a diplomatic passport it was going for 1000000. and it's a $1000000.00 was paid what is that money again. these are the monies that the politicians would then use to service their constituency so one of

people say we want a fridge we want to store. data money's coming from. a number of times i've had people approach me ask america get a diplomatic passport because they know i hang around with all the prime ministers . you know food is spend years doing business in bed grenada and dominique. from the prime ministers i would suggest the trade of diplomatic passports is the most lucrative and the. first time i heard about this once a 15 years or so ago when the prize was 25000 and i went 250000 today as i understand it is 250000 unless your heart really hot then the price will go to well over a $1000000.00 and the same criminal activities that once it happens so the move desperate for the me. the price goes up exactly. 'd

are the supersonic yeah. the sign was full a project in grenada also linked to an ambassador role. he said g.s.a. was the project and that x. ray with a people bringing them i am. one of the north is here in north very different. this site was meant to be an organic shrimp farm a government approved project for foreigners to invest in and gain citizenship. for more for this area. are going on. united are it is our problem and. dr laura. recalled david was working for the man in the project leo fuld so we would have employed $100.00 folks in the area that had the highest unemployment rate on the island so that had to be something going on in the island

with a needed a big rock for the electric because the election was coming up the. plans for the shrimp farm were announced by grenada's prime minister. i'm so proud of what we see in the south and look forward to it to see this project take off in every sense of the pm as we were walking out of that i said but i need your help for the approval process. and that's what the prime minister said the elections coming up. we take campaign contributions talk to my ministers how do you interpret that comment. that means they want a lot of money to make everything go ahead quickly. sarin down the swedish national was upon it raised the project funding. full. say dowdy told them he was offered an ambassador role saren was talking with his

attorney. and his attorney who's very well connected with one of the ministers convinced him that he could become an ambassador for the u.a.e. from grenada how did he seem to feel about me he was like a little kid in a candy store without a bottom shelf a pair of 8 or $900.00 shoes and the ground opening it had rained and i was muddy at these trips and throw in these beautiful fancy shoes. keith mitchell one in his 5th term in power that neither the ambassadorship all the shrimp ever materialized . sorry denied he'd been offered an ambassadorship and cooled it a vendetta by leo food also denied the money raised was missing that's now the subject of an investigation by the grenada government. keith mitchell said all the allegations about him will false and came from political activists wanting to

tarnish his name and grenada. it's a 2nd meeting with all of his serafin he says he can broker a deal to buy a dominican ambassadorship he's already named the price and he's caught. my future 50 so is that 350000 or is that 45450 that is i don't forget. he says the 400000 will go to germany because prime minister roosevelt skerritt a secret slush fund to help win the next election expected within months. but you know not all things. by the us amounts that go out to the only difference in the. budget. flying the flag. which are you know. if you do that before. a trip to

the all expenses paid. to. the public's good or for there is. a bigger. problem. is. how miles. goes. one of these cities sucking off. is a really are more generous with these willful. skerritt denies any corruption or illegality. in domini can ease building a new home. his family also had

a base in new york across the river from the united nations but is the apartment linked to a secret deal for a diplomatic passport. the evidence for that starts with allison. who is nigeria's minister of petroleum resources. every nigerian will be touched by the rewards and the proceeds from the white house and 4 years later her last day in office she's facing allegations she looted billions of dollars of oil revenue fares self and corrupt associates. the week before in london she's personally handed a dominique a diplomatic passport by prime minister skerritt. a passport which could shield her from criminal. charges we found documents showing a few days later a shell company forms in delaware an american state laws mean the true owners of

the company a kept secret. for months later that shell company buys the new york apartment the $2200000.00 with no mortgage. property records confirm the prime minister's wife melissa was a resident of photos place the skerritt family there. and roosevelt skerritt strongly denied any link to the company the bought the apartment roosevelt skerritt said the family resided there due to a kind gesture by an unnamed friend of his wife he strongly denied any wrongdoing and didn't ask or received any money from alice new. in domenico we've also tracked the money trail linking prime minister scare it to

another doubtful diplomat uranium allem on fred. among the documents that we've got a series of emails about sending money from malaysia. and specifically to a petrol station in the town of portsmouth. it's owned by the non-fan family emanuel non-fan was among senior politicians who visited malaysia when manfredi opened my dominique a trade house there he was also a key to the upgrade to a diplomatic passport some of. that over procedure. was to be given. got an offer to. come. he said well i've got a couple so mr bush said. within weeks of the trading house. opening in malaysia and the families phoning in emailing from dominique chasing money.

he's saying that the prime minister is waiting. this inquiry that basically goes to show that. they're doing all the dirty work for paris. bank documents show $200000.00 is then paid into the account of $9000.00 service station. we no longer any doubt that this was a bribe and it matic pol pot obviously. we don't use the word bribe we'll just use the word a token of appreciation but definitely without that i mean he would not have got his diplomatic passport. the my domenica trade house opens in 2014 the year of dominique his last election. documents confirm a rally by prime minister scare its ruling party with entertainers and fireworks is paid for by the malaysian trading house as is the bill for printing the party's

manifesto. 2 months later prime minister skerritt wins a 3rd term of office 3. days after that he rain on fred sends his luminous thanks and appreciation to scare it for making him an ambassador . emanuel now on sunday night receiving any gifts that he and roosevelt skerritt called the payments entirely lawful campaign contributions and denied any wrongdoing and didn't explain why they were paid to his family service station. hungry heart they were just out not voting interest of the country. it's a good option but this. corruption to the point where the interest is 90 percent by. well in the country.

based of diplomatic passport holders is secret in several caribbean states and t. and barbuda have published their list there's no suggestion of illegality or bribes but again questions about who's become a diplomat. the movie star robert deniro was given the on a for attracting investment and celebrities to the islands. is a nephew of the syrian president his links to antigua are unknown a 3rd economic envoy is colombian alex solved. we've seen confidential police documents outlining a multi-national investigation into moran. and financial documents showing huge amounts into 2 n.t. can bank accounts. there from his companies full of food program for venezuelans food boxes many rotten and infested with beetles.

and his prime minister gaston brown defended moran's diplomatic appointment only when the us indicted moran for money laundering unconnected to and did gaston brown revoke his friend's diplomatic passport brown didn't respond to our request for comment. the. situation on our day weather is so terrible that right now it's. in the other that's all it does a bit about this in terms of where. all those years well. after 3 months trying to arrange the sale of a diplomatic passport all of this. if insense voice message is saying he's met dominique his prime minister roosevelt skerritt. have concluded is that the.

prime minister we have had. more friends that is very destructive. it's hurricane season and dominique aires gearing up for an election serafin says the prime minister can't risk any more diplomatic disasters. there's been some revelations of persons who were given diplomatic passports were imprisoned. ringback his former ambassador to malaysia is sentenced to 20 years in jail by tehran go home as he bought some one federal court know about 30 percent of the shots he bought tassie said be shot down should get the suit. raise him and fred lost diplomatic immunity when he traveled outside malaysia and was arrested by the iranians. the prime minister has been out of in is training. very disappointing the current plans including the former minister of betraying

them from nigeria. alison into a key appointee dominique is trade commissioner has $40000000.00 worth of jewelry confiscated this is government investigate of fraud. everything is in the hands of the prime minister. believe this after the elections of course or is that a negative i don't know it is about which. another breaking scandal involves a current dominique an ambassador to the united nations in new york. a buffet about it support the wipers the bottom. fashion t.v. covers paolo's them ponies policies. reflect his very throws diplomat real estate broker and form a model agent after birth. good for you it's always a pleasure i'm a. poet he is an ambassador of many cats and

grenada. his social media showcases his friends in high places very high places he once worked for president trump is supposedly introduced millennia to future husband. sam cody escorted trump when the president addressed the united nations. ambassador poti is also a link to a new resort in dominique funded through the citizenship by investment scheme. in a legal dispute he claims investors from countries covered by u.s. and u.n. sanctions of citizenship. to develop this deny that but the charges also suggest the dominique in government didn't do the required checks on who's eligible for a possible. prime minister's scare it denies that but it's still politically

embarrassing coming from one of the many foreign is already his ambassador has. the climate right now is exacerbated in. fear and apprehension. can be made in any department but to clear this question. we found around a dozen u.n. ambassadors who like. on not nationals of the caribbean states that appointed them . once again there's no suggestion of any illegality just more questions about who should be a diplomat and. billionaire is a former ambassador. in paris the city. kerry is also unesco ambassador this and lucia swiss court once convicted him of money

laundering. brazilian model amanda. made a un ambassador to grenada. amanda is also polish polies wife. former u.n. appeal drug and i find rangers that you would accept we support. it takes challenging the actions of member states member states don't like it but in the case of these fake diplomats i think for a reputation it must. be told us he and his wife were assets and brought investment to the islands grenada told us his wife amanda is no longer a u.n. ambassador. ah undercover investigation into buying an

ambassadorship in germany care takes an unexpected and dramatic turn for a. while. all of the serafin dominique his expression minister says the outcome of the forthcoming election is too close to cool. he says if we offer the opposition party a donation they'd appoint our candidates now ambassador if they win he tells us to cool the opposition party's lawyer. try to seize access to ok can you say you're speaking on his the halls dave. lennox clinton the opposition leader could become the next prime minister within weeks. because father.

6. pretty stressed on a candidate from bassett it would have to be of good character and help develop dominique his economy. so i just wanted to be to hear that you were you were aware of the conversations that had been having with my representative in panama. to. question. his trust and say what i'm very hard to say you're 100 percent happy with all of us . bernie then drafted a document stating that within $28.00 days of lennox linton becoming prime minister he'd a point to a man ambassador at large there's no mention of campaign donations. i would suggest that the dollar amount or. to discuss it in the form them to believe

that they had it so far as an saw serafin means the payment agreed in panama to buy a diplomatic passport ok got it all figured out weird in your. whole article. both bruni and serafin appear keen to avoid the direct involvement of the opposition leader he's campaigning on a platform of anti corruption. the gentleman prefers to create a buffer because he there's not one could beat him to kill ted at that stage the plantation pistol that will come 1st of all depends. question be on the 1st 50 percent of the front in the agreement will be what is expected at this time . they songs on need it there is a country she should shun the spears systems and vigorous flies. serafin
