7:19 am
a lot about you should you not have been carried from there's no question of that i was but you did. yes chartered ships out and had no idea that certain goods were onboard and were transported to highly sensitive regions we were unaware of that was how the initiative was. stalled back the award winning entrepreneur and self-styled world market leader captivated by his success banks financed the construction of his ships in china one after another until he had a fleet of 80 vessels his headquarters in braman northern germany the architecture is representative the location maritime stolberg laid the emphasis on size but then came the shipping crisis stolberg earned less and less with his ships the rising losses were hidden in his balance sheets but it was all to no avail after all the

entire world market was collapsing under such circumstances lucrative arms transports were the perfect solution stolberg shipping company charged $1094687.00 for 2 consignments of tanks to my m.r. another lucrative deal involved the bill lugar in durance the vessel transported tanks ammunition and guns from the ukraine to mombasa in kenya. beyond's were then taken on towards south sudan by kenyan railways being kenya 2008 new tense being transported through the country by rail. in mombasa several ships have unloaded arms of this kind not only the beluga in durance. under the gaze of the kenyan military a ship carrying weapons berths this time it is a ukrainian vessel. a soldier and an expert sense specially from the ukraine watch
7:21 am
as the cargo hatch opens. some of the crew have left the ship and look on. guarded by soldiers the heavy cargo is unloaded yet another consignment for gas the rebels in south sudan loaded like other vessels before it in the ukraine now everything has arrived. the president of the ukraine has sent the head of his foreign intelligence service to hand over a present that message our weapons are for you kenyans not the south sudan even though we know that they were ordered by goss the head of the secret service is uneasy during the ceremony later he told us that his president did not have the arms trade under control and that german ships also secretly loaded weapons in the ukraine. we're on our way to akio brusk the name of a secret port and a kind of arms bazaar where until 2014 russian and ukrainian state run companies
7:22 am
offered weapons for export. the port lies hidden some 100 kilometers east of odessa it took us a long time to find it the place was not marked on any map the blue green durance loaded arms in october osc as did the beluga eternity these photos of the hold on the blue collar eternity which were taken secretly are some of the documents that were leaked to us. long before the ship with the weapon set out a certain close home on send an e-mail to the shipping company good morning what's the situation with the sensitive transport the keyword is sensitive because there is an e.u. embargo in place with regard to my m.r. and its dictatorial government despite this the shipping company plan to sue. the consignment of arms there. in another e-mail or man made the shipping
7:23 am
company a job offer tax for yemen a country where a civil war is now raging his exact words to the director responsible for chartering at the firm's vessels were yemen is currently procuring a large number of tanks that should be of interest to you regards climbs home and the shipping company c.e.o. remembers. the home environment of by mr holman was on the staff of the federal intelligence service he simply said how things were to be handled and while not being a good fun to do for the mr fun parking but it was a sensitive cargo eskin call it was a sensitive consignment and i reckon that he came to see us maybe once every 2 or 3 months and simply told us how things were to be handled and how not. from digging in other words it was important for us to proceed according to certain
7:24 am
regulations is he not showing gauging any illegal transporting or. illegal and transport it's fun to save a sickly he or the b. and they decided what was on and what wasn't good good exactly. this is how the system worked coleman maintained contact with the belugas shipping company for the b.m.d. when the company planned an arms transport it asshole man whether he saw a problem if he didn't stolberg gave the go ahead and the ship sailed for example a vessel was supposed to take a consignment of tanks rockets and ammunition to the congo the plan was to load the arms in the secret ukrainian port of october ask. the arms cargo was coordinated by the shipping companies chartering director he wrote to neil stolberg saying that he had sorted everything with regard to the congo consignment the ship he said could sail he had of course been in touch with
7:25 am
horman from the b. indy and been told that there was no problem. referring to horman from the b.m.d. who didn't see any problem the manager asked his boss for his ok stolberg wrote back ok and the ship sailed. documents photos papers time and again it was all a bad weather holeman saw any problem with an arms transport. we've also obtained an internal report strawn up by the zed k n e the german customs investigation bureau in is a examines the link between home and the shipping company based on a staggering 9 terabytes of seized data the b.m.d. must also have the report at the b n d's headquarters in berlin we were given the cold shoulder a spokeswoman told us that the intelligence agency would only discuss operative
7:26 am
aspects of its work with the federal government and federal parliamentary committees that was a pity because we would love to have shown the be in decent documents so instead we showed them to secret service expert eric schmidt in bloom he sees a complex being the operation and beluga behind the work of a man code named holeman. zone to push up a typical b n d initiator and liaison officer was being commissioned by a specific department to implement transports. that of course who is why he cultivates links with beluga order of the email communication show quite clearly that he was authorized to present himself as someone who could give official approval big. hallman probably work somewhere in the middle hierarchy of the b.m.d. . clue how can i find out what his real name is does more intrigue that is incredibly difficult after all his code name is designed
7:27 am
to hide his civil identity and thus prevent any investigative authorities gaining direct access to his real name there so it's really difficult because the intelligence service is able to mask identity z.t. even by going as far as to issue forged identity papers of all of you. the b.m.d. cannot be expected to provide any indication of who horman really is and what his brief was with regard to the belugas shipping company fortunately though we have good contact to someone who knows horman personally neal stall back here the captain of a cutter who is an old friend of his is taking stolberg from the mainland across to the island of speaker over in the north sea. we are also on board stall burke has agreed to give us an interview on his favorite island he used to own houses and develop on speaker. before that is his shipping company went under and before he
7:28 am
was summoned to the public prosecutor's office and remember that the office had been investigating small books since 2011 on suspicion of serious embezzlement and fraud including 40 learned accounting and loan fraud now 7 years later after a long court case during the course of which stalled work fell seriously ill he is on his way to speak with us to talk about everything. yes but i can't for i'm a fighter i've had surgery 3 times for cancer. in 1000 shops and now i'm going into the new year with this on my plate. and always in the us yard here stolberg literally had to drag himself into the courtroom but he hung on and today he's in better shape the trial lasted 68 days stolberg was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison but he appealed.
7:29 am
that is why he's still at liberty we've come to meet him by the sea transporting industrial plants on heavy duty ships made store berg a wealthy man but a shipping company also offered to transport arms drew plans illustrating how tank should be stowed in order to prevent a ship from listing stolberg name the shipping company after the beluga whale he was impressed by the animal social behavior under the flag bearing the whales tail fin stolberg telephones not only with customers who wanted to have civilian goods transported but also with home and whenever arms transports were planned and he met home and personally. wanted a home and looked like what kind of person was. scully i was kind of sorry but i really can't tell you exactly how i met a whole month maybe 2 or 3 times off he then had a few meetings with a colleague of mine and things were discussed. gadhafi was a good strong bond person was a big or small did he have
7:30 am
a large nose or small one i don't know his firm handshake i don't know because the aftershave price i don't know but i suppose it. can i really can't say it's not enough for an identikit picture but from the recollections of one shipping company employee whom we asked a graphic artist was able to sketch some of homans features it was a rather squat figure more on the small side he was also well groomed especially his hands the nails were always neatly manicured. what's more his parting was always straight and he had always a perfect where he was always so well groomed and so casually or formally dressed perfect elegance that i don't know really i'm sorry but i don't know. hourman always was sure it's that we're crisply pressed indeed everything about him
7:31 am
we heard was sheer elegance he was about 50 years old. and well i'm of all men was there and voice you on these sensitive issues. this is coming these are that all happened some 10 years ago so i can't remember exactly can a snitch nigga know it known so we now know that holeman was well dressed and knew all about arms transports on beluga ships and we know that stolberg doesn't like talking about those transports he refuses to snitch on home and and is not prepared to talk about akio brusk the secret court in the ukraine crueler where we've been which make a brief cut. kiev the capital of the ukraine it took 8 months for us to get an appointment with a politician who knows everything about the secret port stall but refuses to talk
7:32 am
about an appointment with a politician who sent the head of his intelligence service to kenya our appointment is with the former president of the ukraine. viktor yuschenko outlined how putin is destroying the ukraine through his occupation of the crimea putin the enemy but he dodged questions on russell ukrainian arms deals that took place via the a brusque during his presidency with the president himself that did not sell any pistols or rifles or any other arms usually with a boy to push. past state run arms export company makes export its own guidelines which were also passed by the cabinet under proved by the national security council of the ukraine. so everything was perfectly legal . when you're usually for them but.
7:33 am
for to do you assure. us that the ukraine has always observed current legislation that the rights of nonetheless laws in this business is highly delicate at this bill because. footage of one delicate deal tanks being unloaded from the fina the ukrainian vessel normally this would be a clandestine operation but this time the press were watching pirates had kidnapped the ship and when the crew were allowed to disembark in mombasa the cameras were present the finer was one of several vessels which transported ukrainian weapons ordered by god according to the former head of the secret service the president no longer had the arms trade and the control restored your worst fears low profile or you should get out of syria or iraq or muslim i know you change the world which we spent a lot of time together thought he played down our arms exports saying there was no
7:34 am
corruption yet i pointed out to him several times that corruption was involved but for him it was all perfectly normal dogs when such a stablish structures simply existed he said the acutely dark winnable in the book . showed us kiev he told us about beluga saying that a secret dossier or existed the shipping company was regarded as reliable but it too was under investigation however nothing had been proven that he said was all he was allowed to tell us. we were going building. we chatted about the german secret service and learned that he once met the president of the b. and d. we asked if he had already seen the fine new building the b.m.d. had been given of course he said and laughed. mr. we then arrived at the comparatively modest building housing the ukrainian foreign
7:35 am
intelligence service the s.b.u. until 2010 the boss here and they still listen to him looking today don't worry he tells the guard it's german television everything is ok his office is somewhere else near the parliament he wants to go into politics as head of the secret service he told us he knows all about the secret port of octave brusk the arms bazaar and or across the river from model to sure it's actually a good model the port was controlled by our secret service is yours and also by russia's. but behind the official facade but of which there was a shadow economy of the border young is the ground corruption was them as a result large quantities of arms could be transported secretly but without us being able to keep check water on what was called there or being loaded on some ships or didn't have any money 1st at all others put to sea with forged papers who will be particular port was a hub for hidden arms consignment was supposed you know post-doc. october us the
7:36 am
secret port stored here were tanks missiles guns and even field kitchens everything required for a regional war and observed by sea for a.d.'s an organization from washington. its director is a lieutenant colonel who speaks russian and arabic and was trained at west point military academy prior to our interview the researcher on the left brought the director up to speed on the brusk c 480 s. had focused on the port because of its. oms to nova and according to david johnson it wasn't easy to research and date the port lies hidden and is hard to access. but you can certainly see it with satellite imagery but it was not a port that was readily easily accessed they had gate guards there were a few roads leading into it it was out in the in
7:37 am
a restricted area farther away from the city out of the countryside to a certain extent on that point in all the bug river it certainly had gates and controls. we made our 1st attempt to see the port in 2013 this is just the 1st of 3 guarded gates we weren't allowed any further seaman had described to us what it used to look like in the ports when they were there to load the ships behind the ships they said they were arms as far as you could see and hanging from the cranes with tanks the shipments are global this is going around to countries where there are lots of conflicts going on eritrea. you're looking at latin america venezuela you're looking at. places in asia you're looking places further south in africa like the democratic republic of congo or the south sudan. 5 years later we're back and
7:38 am
this time we're allowed in congo kenya sudan mayan ma and yemen whenever beluga planned a mom's transport this port was always involved. secret service boss mala bush had promised to ring up those in charge of the port perhaps that is why we were allowed to simply drive through in fact we were even given a musical reception. the poor bosses welcomed us on the left the director of security the great eminence of the rights the union leader a kind of lame. the director and in the middle of watchdog 1st we were served a then we engaged in small talk. with. the press spokes person explained the regulations we would have to observe afterwards in the port then the labor director indicated that it was time to get going as he still had things to do he wouldn't be accompanying us. so the security director became our
7:39 am
guide at 1st it wasn't quite clear whether we would be able to film from our vehicle the situation was tense after all we were the 1st television team ever to pitch up here with a camera. this is where we stop the director of security said then he issued clear instructions you can shoot anything you want that's ok in this direction but not in the other direction where the underground warehouse is located not even afterwards with the drone only in this direction just on the other ok why doesn't that up and down. with the dog you know what's the secret to part at the secret weapon a port. what does she do yeah you can say so not exactly but plans for your puter but to a certain extent we load commercial goods and sometimes special goods that are chemicals or explosive materials it's given here. most of it still materials what
7:40 am
about arms the interpreter asks where you those 2. big cargo would military yes for the time being the days of the big arms business are over because russian tanks are no longer loaded here but up until 2014 david johnston told us no we genuinely and russian danish and german vessels used to put in here. at the jersey where the poor people of mordor lovely grain carrier for us german shipping companies used to berth including 2 from the braman area so the ones in the report that we identified were a breezer as well as a bill which i believe is no longer solvent. because they have special skills that are required now in particular of the german shipping companies that we were that we looked into while we were working on this report. capable of moving heavy cargo
7:41 am
busy they were special are ships that had praise and usually you want that kind of ship if you're going to a port destination where they may not have the cranes to imo load the carry cargo a tank weighs 40 tons in addition to tanks the powerful cranes in. also heaved missile launchers and heavy ammunition boxes on board more to the jetty are the beluga in durance which will be taking arms to kenya and the beluga are eternity which despite an e.u. embargo will be transporting arms to mind. the beluga eternity will be stopping in braman for a few hours shipping company c.e.o. to your store berg is paying a brief visit he likes to be seen with his people immediately afterwards the ship sets sail for the ukrainian port of akio prost with arms for my m.r.i. on board following an initial consignment in 2007 the generals will be getting more
7:42 am
tanks ammunition and guns brought by the polluter eternity. the shipping company sent home and the shipping list for my m r and i asked whether he saw any problems instead of stopping the consignment home and asked to be sent photographs of the arms being unloaded in minor yes long before hand he had warned that the e.u. had embargoed the country. the shipping company charged $360137.50 for the transport and holeman cost is b n d in a positive light with the generals. the 1st form of the d. in other words the b. and d. gain favor with the generals in my unmarked by enabling them to obtain heavy military equipment despite the existence of international embargo see if the o.t. is with the. braman public prosecutor frank assad or investigated the beluga shipping company because of my unmarked holeman he says played the decisive role
7:43 am
not the shipping company because it's of course was relying on the be empty. think of in the middle and be in the middle of it all in one part in where this kind of business is involved and you're in contact with a b. and the operative and instructed not to transport a certain consignment you would be well advised to comply and you could provide these in the form totally new to even and what if you gives you the go ahead who. come then i think you can feel you're in good hands. or. whatever because the b.m.d. is ultimately responsible and the farm the general conception is that if such consignments are transported with the knowledge of a federal or thorough ting then it is all eagerly acceptable which will move me to i was more. in investigating the palookas shipping company for evidence of white collar crime this is archive footage the solder came across an initial arms transport to my unmarked by the beluga enterprise in 2007 and
7:44 am
a further transport by the beluga eternity in 2009 the transport home and was involved in he and the shipping company with us suspected of a joint breach of the new embargo against my iraq and its ruling generals nevertheless the arms brought by the beluga eternity were personally received by gen chore quark. fortunately we do not have a photograph of him the maximum penalty for breaking an embargo is a 5 year jail sentence but as the public prosecutor tells us imposing it is not that easy most of us who foreseen does the former consignments only come under the embargo restriction for if they are destined for a specific listed person and if the goods are destined for that person's own private use force in these a group or physics. in that. however the tanks were delivered to the ministry of defense for tight on the listed person only took receipt of the arms on behalf of the ministry of defense he did not receive them personally of the one treaty and so
7:45 am
from a legal point of view or no violation of the e.u. embargo restrictions actually took place in. the us with no criminality involved in the investigation had to be discontinued. but that's absurd but it is hard to understand frank decided discontinued his investigation into home and shipping company c.e.o. neal stolberg. over to you should have the words of public prosecutor's office in raymond or ought to try and reopen proceedings with fresh alone and really exert pressure on the federal chancellor unfortunately it doesn't have the same operative possibilities as italian public prosecutors revealed who were always brazen enough to enter secret service headquarters and seize papers. the charges against horman from the b. and d. are serious according to the customs investigation report one shipping company
7:46 am
employee told the public prosecutor that holeman approved the arms consignments to my mom in my and modern military reacted while holman was asking the shipping company for pictures of the tanks being unloaded opposition politicians she was being sentenced once again the b.m.d. has made no comment on home and the investigation into his activities were discontinued so what was there to get excited about plenty of schmidt a long standing new development politician responsible for southeast asia he was in my in mar when the arms arrived today he is a member of the parliamentary commission on foreign affairs. there. hated to be in the naturally the b.m.d. should have informed the german government after all that is its duty it's supposed to gather information on what is happening politically like when an embargo imposed by the european union is breaches on an embargo supported and counter signed by the federal german government understood want us to be violating this embargo is an
7:47 am
offense against german international politics he intends your daughter acquitted if the b.n. b. receives information on this once all it is judy byrne to inform the government otherwise for we are talking about a political scandal eaters gondar. with hourman the b.n. d. is firmly in place at beluga and not only with regard to my m.r. and shipping company plan to transport tanks destined for north sudan hallman was well informed but how did the company just transported tanks to kenya tanks whose recipient according to the manifest was the rebels in south sudan. didn't holeman know what ga stood for didn't he see a link between the transports for south sudan and the tanks brought by the beluga vessel and the tanks for gossip wrought by other ships. in 2014 civil war broke out in the fledgling state of south sudan a conflict in which there was no shortage of weapons something we'd like to discuss
7:48 am
with home and. brussels is home to an eyewitness who saw the tanks for gas incense sudha. he was in the country on behalf of the bomb international center for conversion of peace research institute look vandeven the vault members of the south sudan military these are pictures of his visit shortly before the civil war erupted and 5 years after the ships brought the arms inspected the small arms store which we see here as it happens the general showed him something really grand. the 1st summer specifically remember seeing these t. 72 squares at the s.p.l. a main headquarters around bill pong because they were just stationed there as to guard the compound i think that's a particularly effective way of guarding your compound but the general himself said do you want us to drive around so it felt it felt really bizarre almost like they
7:49 am
were they were showing them off to us look at look at the kind of stuff that we have here look at how how we can drive them around think show you how impressive for a year they were incredibly proud and i remember saying to my colleagues is this a good idea because those were the tanks that there was not supposed to have early day the s.p.l. itself thought it was no problem. according to a secret dispatch from the u.s. government the american secret service has satellite pictures proving that tanks were delivered to goss in south sudan the cargo documents for the beluga in durance show tanks feel how it says and machine guns ordered by goss stolberg dismisses any involvement as how he knew nothing about that. but still bugs people did plan armstrong sports and not only for north sudan and schulberg gave his ok for arms
7:50 am
consignments for the congo then came the job offer keyword yemen we should be in the expert the e-mail once again. how about it home and wrote in the e-mail and ask the shipping company if it wanted to transport tanks to yemen from the ukrainian port of october ask. a visa even content of this e-mail is highly instigating it proved quite clearly that mr holman is flouting article 25 of the german constitution which criminalizes any attempt to disturb the peaceful relations between nations that. according to an internal report of the german customs investigation bureau investigators counted $426.00 e-mails between holeman and the shipping companies chartering director. the 2 discussed sensitive ships cargoes and sometimes they wrote to each other in coded language. the chartering director seen
7:51 am
on one day of the trial of the district court in braman. the former manager ended his time with beluga with his integrity totally intact he had nothing to do with his bosses what collar crime the investigation into his activities with regard to the arms transport to my in-law was closed but he refused to grant us an interview meal stall bird was charged with embezzlement and various forms of fraud after proceedings lasting 60 days the public prosecutor gave his closing argument to the same public prosecutor who had dropped the investigation into stolberg because of the arms transport wanted a sentence of 4 and a half years for white collar crime tank consignments transported on neil stolberg ships were not an issue eric schmidt has no problem with that in his view responsibility for that must be borne by hohmann from the b.m.d. . division phono felt he was in the right order and it's possible that he was also
7:52 am
aware that what he was doing was wrong life at the same time however he knew that he could not be brought to task for it since he was acting under the instructions of the federal intelligence service. we discovered a few facts about home and that only of a private nature he likes playing cards preferring that or taking his wife to the opera which he finds yucky. he likes dining out occasionally with his contact at beluga pointing out to him in an e-mail however that in braman the man should find somewhere decent home and lives in hamburg but we couldn't determine who. he is or whether he also had contact with other shipping companies horman was incriminated by his contact at beluga the manager told the public prosecutor that horman had considered an arms transport to mine marta be legitimate and possible that is stated in the documents at the customs investigation bureau the public prosecutor
7:53 am
does not know holman's identity. to miss out on the death more than be in the middle of what at 1st when we planned to put the b n d employee on the witness stand at the b.m.d. was quite prepared to grant permission for him to give evidence. but what is it on however that permission was withdrawn when we pressed charges against him don't give us the home due process requires every accused to be granted the right to a fair hearing. so we were then approached by a lawyer representing the accused be n.d.'s ploy. he asked to inspect the files. of the freeze in this request was granted and afterwards the statement was made on behalf of the b.n.p. employee. doing be in the middle of. them and so you never got to question him as the accused here know not personally. it's actually inconceivable in a constitutional state for a public prosecutor to allow someone under an assumed name to make
7:54 am
a statement vajra lawyer when as the accused he ought to be questioned in court for shit. on one occasion the word beluga in the names of 4 ships belonging to the beluga shipping company was painted over the vessels then set sail. on the mediterranean they secretly took on board phosphorous bombs from another ship from hamburg which had loaded the weapons in the united states with israel as their destination home and was fully aware of this clandestine operation but why was the word beluga which neil stolberg was always so proud of painted over what exactly were home and the shipping company doing their home on board in a naturally mr home and also wanted information from us about certain cargo flows cargo food and so we of course complied as a german shipping company it was our responsibility so we provided him with the information what information they at 1st well he wanted to know for instance what
7:55 am
kind of cargoes were on the market and we provided him with that information than not truly hear from because so we're talking about tanks guns and so on exactly. stolberg told us that he had a clear conscience that the b. and d. was always in the picture and that holeman gave his approval but he hasn't got over the loss of his company even after an investor had taken over the financially distressed company he tried to work through what he had experience by writing a book he showed us some of the 1st passages hired by the investor bodyguards had thrown him out of his company. mombasa kenya ships have a direct link to the rail system. this ship is being unloaded by ukrainian technicians the tanks transported here for gas will
7:56 am
continue their onward journey straight away. but doesn't so sudan have a legitimate interest in arming itself and establishing itself as a state that is wired into valid well it was an integral part of the sudan and fought for independence and done it but in a situation like that where one side says it wants to prevent independence and the other side says it wants to systematically prepare for it anyone supplying weapons must know that there is a strong likelihood of arms being used in a possible war of independence and it could be a political motivation to promote the separation of the region up because of the presence of deposits of oil or materials on but that is clearly in violation of international law and thus unacceptable it is of course a humanitarian crime is it one or 2 liters and woman you feel for. south sudan in 2014 it's president salva kiir the man with the hat was armed to the teeth and waged war not on islamic north sudan as many had predicted but on his former fellow
7:57 am
fighters in the rebel war on the young republic's vice president riek machar and he mobilized his forces against the president. today there are kalashnikovs galore and so sudan and even more powerful weapons. now each side can really stick it to the other. just how we didn't know that. the beluga in durance transported tanks to kenya it's cannot be proved that the shipping company knew that the client hiding behind the name goss was sam sudan. the consignment of tanks from north sudan was transported by another shipping company.
7:58 am
