a new name on the green light to own in english football club. and we really many who i was interested in here is 2 or 3 to to christopher samuelson is an offshore trust specialist and football deal maker. he works with accountants and lawyers to hide clients identities and wealth . he became involved in football after setting up a sponsorship company by west famous famous figure because he wants. and he said, chris,

we can buy chelsea football. we agree to buy a chelsea 480-0000 pounds, 100 pounds guaranteed issue too. that's the problem was the access to the ground. so we can do it. that's how can base mistake this chest the chest. so that's how i started over a series of meetings in london. hotels are under cover reporters say they represent 3 chinese investors who want to purchase a football club with 2 investors home 20 percent each. the majority investor who we call mr. x has criminal convictions on dishes in china. we name our undercover reporter billy the chinese money back in the local officials.

they offer you a drink. well, i think we can do the drink. angie is our 2nd undercover reporter. she's acting as billy's assistant pay full payment can also the warranty, see, escape to actual same thing. and then a conviction of him being in the court because he's absent when the real well really tell some isn't that mr. x is very rich, fled china with his illegally obtained wealth, smuggled his phone out of china to him, a cow, casinos, and received a 70 year prison sentence, cynthia,

for bribery and money laundering. if he wants help me secure that i can do that. then i can over nice or that should hold for him backs place money to close relationship. so we have a bombshell where the prospective owner has paid money to public officials or any other times bribe public officials, which is obviously criminal offense around the world, both in china and the u. k. now as a professional, was a company information agent that should be the end of a conversation by the beginning of the conversation and should lead to that report him to the police that he's under u. k. law and the price of the crime. samson has lived in countries including the u. k. island, switzerland in spain. until recently had a villa me yorker,

which was sold for just under a $1000000.00. he's managed billions of dollars for the world to the race. yet few know his name has been described as the ultimate man in the shadows. he's someone who works with a group of people, lawyers, accountants, to help people hide their money. he's one of the most powerful, influential people in finance you never even heard of. he was born to an affluent family in southern england. his parents appeared in society magazine, such as tattler samuelson was sent to a private forwarding school in england. i did further study in grenoble and munich . the late 960. he moved to wall street. he has what we think is his 1st job in new york with some very, very well connected investment bank because thompson got into about emotional

finance and trust in the 180. and he worked for a company called bound met, which he and others built into one of the biggest of georgia companies in the world . a trust company is set up when someone gives money to a trusted party to look after him. is often used to hide the identity of the ultimate owner of the wealth a decades he's not as the personal business of some of the world's wealthiest people leaving findings off shore trust. some people magician has been said that you can make an elephant disappeared. samuelson reassured billy that the identity of our fictitious criminal mr. x will remain hidden except to the football league and he will not be know that he has football. nobody has any of the and i have to tell information

the, the english football league is the body that governs the divisions below the premier lee. it has a set of rules called the owners and directors test to protect the image and integrity of the league and the wellbeing of its clubs. one of its key aimed is to prevent criminals owning clubs and using football to launder money. bands from owning a club, anybody with an unspent criminal conviction and the sentence of at least 12 month imprisonment. the li can also require proposed owners to provide evidence of the ultimate for insufficient funds to acquire control of or invest in the club house. we create the buyer,

they have to take investments and other must be and if we have to send them all the samuelson says he can support efforts by the football lee to find out about mr. x sometime. say please investigate to do it before they have somebody there, which then what was the main thing is you have somebody the fact is christian host, no phone cross the can is huge. kristian hook is a partner. i'm gonna cook a london based law firm. he has been for the legal

essence and gregory 5 plus actually the 2 items. and i know very well he's very efficient. this is nice. another member of samuel sins team is andrew oper, lensky charges attention, commercial bank. and my best friend is the best chunk of it. it's pretty straight, i can, i can hear you come to the right person. ah, the deal would involve samuelson becoming a director of the club and receiving a large fee they charge for the value of each member of his team would charge additional fees in names,

the clubs he claims office sale. if you want to buy a top 6 of those to you by today, which will sell, but he won't st. the total, which is 2000000000 daniel leaving the channel to talk them very well. and joe, this is the major billy says the chinese investors are prepared to spend up to a 150000000 pounds with a fair, the 100000000 for investment. they were looking for a sleeping giant once. great club with a big fan base. perhaps a team in the 2nd tier of english football team, which smell has invested so 116000000 pounds in nothing. on forrest club putting

a 1st one the piano for by the time they reach the very top of football level one is mill. mill belongs to those who i know what he's american people. he didn't go to see it later, suggested in an email that really is invested by a top flight spanish club. i would vice because it has over desirable attributes. good profits that can be enhanced brand that can be promoted in china and market all over asia. the best scouting network in latin america and an outstanding academy. samson presented video with an acquisition plan drawn out by his fun. soc fin the asking price for just under 90 percent of seville with $217000000.00. but dubey had

a key advantage for samuel. i talk to you, i can see i was with mail yesterday. he was talking with mel confidential ha ha ha. randy. me samuelson provides a step by step guide that would allow convicted criminal and money laundry. mr. x to buy a football club. first, create an offshore account using a trust company to use as well that he claims he. paul turns company is trust company call. we know your protocol is before it was just 100 pound capital just in the middle. the 2 ships appreciate the check

in the puppy because its held courtney court number. shareholders can legally appoint nominees to hold shares for their benefit if they don't want the shares registered in their name. the nominees names are made public . the names of the real shareholders remain a secret basis. another new share. they should desperation across favor. in total document copies that you have the original copy in just also samuelson creates an offshore company for mr. x. he sends an itemized invoice from fence

trust. the bill includes charges for providing corporate directors and normally shareholders total. $9400.00. me just going to say, who are the chinese that's all we'll say i want to work. i did all the folks crawford. i bought. i bought it for a russian family clinic are which is pretty high, but i certainly had concerns when you nothing about the the company behind the funding. we knew that temp support investment since it was code was going to be

set up in a registered in gibraltar. why would that need to be registered in both? tim? what are they trying to hide? the reading that he just started over the bars thing. garbage is the russian owner of a huge pulp and paper company without the garbage senior powers had a massive fortune from paper pope. but we also told that he wasn't involved in that . that was the obvious question of, well, where is the money coming from? so i got it. if somebody didn't play a part, i fear that they didn't know i to me, but m tones in garbage didn't have the funds to sustain the club. yeah,

i wish all writing down a flight plan. judges, growth defense at this point just felt they take them provide. suddenly we turned into just another subbing crisis. the russian owner sold the club, he left reading, holding a big bell that he ran up with no money left to pay it. oh, what i say then discuss there's another strategy that will give mister x, the green light to buy an english football club. it will say that again, separate clusters. samuelson could help mister x obtain

a european union passport and change his name. i had had a curious capital for many years. he was finding it, do all kinds of things like that so sense. so samuelson sends the friend a text message in the security. and so he looks after a number of chance who have similar issues a space just progression. keith hunter is a former scotland yard detective who left the police in 1997. he formed risk management, the private investigation company,

and no runs animus. it services include due diligence, personal profiling integrity, testing, domestic investigations and surveillance hunters klein had included the oligarchy. doris brzezinski and james boring, a nigerian politician, jailed a fraud. alexander nick, ben jenco, the former russian spy with polonium in london restaurant had worked for hunter as a source of information. hunter has received samuels from his message and calling back again. i certainly need investors. chinese. he was paid in china, tech and chinese. you have same like rush and he need to know if you can

get a psych billy meets hunter to find out more about the services he provide believes assistance this time is another undercover report that we called her alice . and so this is my previous hunter explains what he does to help his clients if he's talking to that he's really aggressive with officer with whatever i'm initially just find out. come back to me. thanks jose go live, so they go, mistress. so anything that we could damage their reputation with

warner kind competitors, telephone called in the postcolonial kind we could potentially go on to business activities resulted in a police inquiry in 2006, involving a corruption case in london's metropolitan police. he was not charged in 2012 punch was arrested on suspicion of seeking to corrupt a police officer in the james bori fraud case. again, he was not charged sometimes it's impossible. sometimes. sometimes you can't do this, that there will be times where you could use just the policies to, to help you get the information to the managers. again,

it seems to do, but it would be something we could people, if they would do it. other people do those things very happy to organize an introduction, but how can you trust them? because you don't trust my people will, will have relationships with people that can do things that we do in house punctures offering a range of services which fall on the spectrum of legality. so from one end, you have following people which is distasteful. one could verge on harassment through 2 things which are legal, breach, state privacy laws, like accessing bank statements, accessing emails, and accessing telephone records, while pounds talks about 3rd parties distances. and so from this activity, the way in which he talks implies that he has done this before. and his passion have done this before as well. impulse to run recover reporters are up for the

chance to buy a football club that was twice champions of england. please, which is the latest news as it breaks down the north of doing the best job you can we've seen one water to teen at wells far further with detail covering the government says the taliban is relying on human shields and losing people shot the phones from around the world, the price tag to the toko games have officially felt $15000000000.00 that already the most expensive, some games ever stage. long before the covert crisis broke, the world was grappling with another global crisis. the climate breakdown, destruction of nature can lead to destruction of people. all hail the lockdown examines links between these 2 crises and asks why it took upon them to bring on

changes that should have been made long ago. all these things, we would tell him a complete impulse suddenly become connected, the wake up call that can't be ignored on a job. oh, i know i mainly anglin indo holidays at the top stories on al jazeera, the afghan taliban has captured yet another provincial capital. the light is to fall is the city of gaz needs strategically located on the main road between canada and the national capital. cobble taliban has now taken pain provincial capitals in just the past week. charlotte bellas is in cobble with more on the african governments response. the spending a lot of money and prioritizing these new local uprising movements where they.
