a corruption panel. the panel was investigating charges. duma allowed the plunder of government coffers during his 9 year term. he was forced by his own party to stand down in 2018, one of the w's christine manuel joins us now from john. christine, this is a huge story for south africa. what's the, what's been the reaction so far? yeah, it's been called a good story thing for the countries. they had been that the prevailing said that the political needs, the ruling class above the certainty that applied to greece and jacob, who has had many revenues with the nor in court. really the last one that broke the camel's back and came out of that commission of inquiry. we had been on to onset to education that he had personally been involved in corruption and for during his time as president people for that as it's not to the rule of law that he could get

away with. absolutely anything people are embracing the ruling that's been handed down by the constitutional court as we understand it's not. and of course we live in judges reached at this decision. even the other 2 consented that this was contents of court. and so we had to said that he's going to be spending 15 months in prison. if you look on twitter, people are reacting in very positive ways. people very excited about this many people with that they never thought that they would see the say come, but that it is important for this country. so what happens next? would he go to prison, straight away? gay, how did the constitutional court gave the former president 5 days to turn himself into the station, stating that these minutes and leave commissioner has been made sure that you would be a jail within 3 days off that 5? as we understand it, his daughter has tweeted in the last one and she said that he has decided to be

given the option of spending the job or it was with all the problems we from. and they decided that you will be spending that 15 months jail to in that's what that is at needs reaction from his i did not directly with the daughter tweeting, he spoke with the statement earlier, basically say, but he felt that the bread and we'll be shocked by the ruling, but as he said, he's a high and is ready to break. ready to see mchale to say he has been given 5 days the last day read. it would be sunday. so we say that he said between now basically that they would be putting himself in. so police station got any problems off was how a lot of people have ready around him. last night. people camped off side. you told said these what support is, who had said that they would be claudia, that nobody would touch him, but even they will not be able to to said before, before, by the law. this is going to be his story day for the 1st time in this country. it's free for the president, somebody who really had the highest power will be going to prison. so it's

a day many for that because they were there. but if you called at the historic day, a corruption still being a major problem on all levels of south african society to do you think this verdict could in retrospect some day be viewed as a milestone? absolutely, and you said me heard it when the judge who read out this ruling. so she she referred to the fact that when they looked at this method, they considered the fact that one prison jacobs was not just an ordinary citizen. but this is somebody who has great support in this country. so you do get the sense the interpretation. they've been, that they wanted to send a message with the particular just that nobody is above the law. and this is what it is being. embrace that, that somebody like prison jacob's room is being his same court, will perhaps discourage at the people in certain offices because they see that there are consequences to actions. of course, as this probe has been going on, the commission into corruption and the president. we've been hearing off large

scale based off of the state resources. people have been really frustrated in the country that really needs investment infrastructure with jobs to see that that money was being looted by people in office. and so it is really helped, and you simply get the sense that people hold that people in certain government offices will see the judgement and that it will serve as a detouring factor to people considering taking a similar part. who does this, christine mon, for in cape town for us? thank you, christine. the government in ethiopia has declared a sci fi and it's to gray region after 8 months of deadly conflict. it source is all set of left regions, capital mckellen, along with members of the government's regional administration. the area former ruler said they are now back in control. thousands have been killed since fighting broke out last november. more than 2000000 people have been displaced in the region and there are hundreds of thousands facing starvation. and tony me now from

london is a mountain plot is a journalist, specializing in the horn of africa and also of understanding eritrea. thanks for your time. up to great rebel forces that have retaken the capital. how significant is this, especially for the people or people of take, right? oh, it's quite extraordinary. i mean, it is a complete reversal of fortune. 8 months ago, they were driven out of the city of mckayla, which is their regional capital view. right? the pointed out, and they were completely broken. the, they were attacked by the army, by the army, by somali troops, and by the power of militia. and they were driven out of mckellar and had to retreat into the mountains and what appeared to be a complete spent force. he would now only be able to mount a small gorilla operation if they continued fighting. they have regrouped

reorganized, and 10 days ago they lotion offensive, which have frankly driven the enemies out of 2 great, almost entirely. i mean, most of the major towns are now in their hands. there were pictures of people celebrating in mikella. the ethiopian military sent plains into mckellar and literally took all the money out of the banks prior to the city forward. so there's no doubt that it has fallen the united nation to that with looting of their computers. it's an extraordinary turnaround. so would you consider this a real turning point in this conflict? absolutely, there is no doubt about it whatsoever. the one thing that one has to say, and you pointed out the terrible famine that is now being induced in this area because the 1st battle happened as far as time you weren't able to harvest, they were driven from their farms and they did the blocking. there's been

a blockade by e, c o p, and an error trade and forces preventing a getting into the region. and as a result, there are something like, according to us, say id the on 900000 people on the edge of starvation. so this couldn't have come a moment too soon, and the question now is, will the ethiopians, they are trans, open their ports, open their roads, and allow the a to fluid basically have a look at the politics, a prime minister. and he took office pledge reconciliation and then he had to take or what does this turning point? this is so i mean for him and his standing well, it's a huge blow for his reputation. he probably just one of the election. we don't know the results yet. but the to the come, but he's probably just one election. but that having put him, put him in a terrible position because he and proven to sauce of arrow trail launched this campaign against the 2 grand would turn to break them. and the fact that they are

now in lock step together, we just don't know what the result will be for their longer term survive. and that especially because our trend have lost thousands upon thousands of troops in this battle. how will the army react? we just monitor plant. thank you very much for the time. let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines today. foreign ministers from the group of 20 major economies are meeting face to face and italy today for the 1st time in 2 years. the gathering is aimed at improving cooperation on an array of topics, including on vaccine sense of the client climate change parts of western canada record. it's their hottest day ever. on monday, with temperatures in march of british columbia, soaring past 46 degrees celsius for the further south on the us west coast, seattle registered its 2nd consecutive to africa, temperature,

temperatures experts. one such extreme weather is likely to become more common due to global warming. rising numbers of chromosome corona, virus cases linked to the delta vary and causing concern in europe. travel around the continent is again limited by restrictions in some places. just weeks off, the measures were eased, and portugal visitors have been cutting short, their holidays stealing a fresh blow to those whose livelihoods depend on tourism. this daily has been operating here in lisbon for more than a 100 years. the shop survived the last major global pandemic. the spanish flew its owner. jose bronco isn't easily shocked, but he is worried to vote. lisben is very dependent on tourism. a large part of our business comes from this sex to be able to reach lots of those tourists come from germany, but with the delta corona virus, the various spreading in lisbon and the l. gov. germany has now classified portugal

as a virus variant area, even though cases remain low in some places. if you look at carroll in austria, only certain regions were restricted, but now all of portugal is being held responsible. that doesn't make any sense to anybody traveling from portugal to germany must now quarantine for 2 weeks, including people who are fully vaccinated. monday was the last day to leave before the new rules came into effect. it's been, i'm happy that we're going home today. it was just by chance we booked for today, but we're on the safe side and won't have any problems getting back to germany. i think it's good that they've reacted in and people coming back after quarantine for 2 weeks. but the down for variant will spread anyway. i was, i was a few holiday makers will hit the tourism industry hot just when it was starting up again. but back at the deli, jose bronco remains optimistic. chavez for the board as close and then open again. that's the pandemic cycle. but everything will get back to normal. the local

certainly hope so. and so do the tourists joined by d. w correspondent, young phillips shows in other farrah town on the gulf coast in the south of portugal, very popular with tourists and philip the lives of many people in portugal, depend on tourism the country and been opening up how they're dealing with this now . well people are shocked especially year in the holiday resorts off i'd say it out last year was already the worst summer season since the early eighty's and people were waiting for the famous lights at the end of the tunnel, of course, meeting for a more or less normal holiday season again, but this hope is destroyed. now of course, the germans are the most important group of holiday makers, sierra together with the bridges and the okay has also introduced strict measures already for return nice from portugal and local. say that business just wants to

buy another thomas even like this. so was it like that and now for, for the tourists caught up in this well, the german tourists have left already, at least the majority of them. i talked to manage that in the morning and you said that's not german tourists had left the town probably only very few remaining. there were a lot, a lot minutes, the parts and the worst for a lot of fun for a lot of which house here is that there are also a lot of cancellation of cars for the coming reached or the peak actually out of the holiday season. and for the wires, portugal been hit so hard by the delta vary and well, a lot of experts say that it has to do with effect that portugal let in

bridges, tourists with our strict rules at a time when the does have very and was already reading in the u. k, they say this is one of the main reasons local also blamed the government that they allows the template final here some weeks ago. mentioned that city again. chelsea with thousands of british friends. but of course those are all assumptions. nobody can say for sure what caused the search in the very case this year, for sure is that the country is struggling very hard at the moment and it almost seems like a desire for me. i was here during christmas holidays when, when portugal was opening up again to international tourists and a few weeks later the very end started to spread and the country council of shots and i will farrah portugal. thank you very much. thank you. a here in

germany, investigate the se in islam as motors for a deadly knife attack in the city of 1st spoke last week appears likely, 3 women were killed and several others injured in the attack. on friday evening. authorities cited witnesses who claim that the suspected perpetrator twice sharper than the rabbit phrase that is often associated with acts of islamist militancy when used by attackers. but investigators say they haven't found any evidence. the suspect was a member of a terror organization. the bavarian central office for extremism and terrorism has taken over the prob and i'm now joined by my d. w colleagues, you know who to go. she has actually met this suspected attack of 3 years ago, and he was a refugee in the east and german city of cabinets. and you were reporting on anti immigrant sentiment and attacks and clashes there. tell me more about the circumstances. how did you meet that man? yes, so and i was reporting and saxony and cabinets on the top right,

riots and demonstrations that are up to after 2 asylum seekers were arrested for killing a local job in men. which sort of sparked attacks on per and not quite violent attacks that really shocked the rest of germany. and how did you then come across this man who is now suspected to be the attacker spoke, i saw the day i met the, the tech i was, i reported another power, right demonstration. which also got quite aggressive so aggressive that the police ended up shutting down even using water tenants. so it was a very heated situation in the city. and then i got the tip that there was another refugee attack, and refugees being hunted and chased by right wing protest. so of course i wanted to follow up on the story. and then i ended up talking to the guy who is now of the let the tech out for the book, and i call him and try to reach him. and his friend was also attacked. and

1st of all ended up going to the hospital to check on them, but by the time i got there, they had already been released. okay. and then how did you meet him? and then i decided it was quite late at night at the time, but i really need to follow up the story. so i decided to go to that apartment. and so by the time, almost midnight, i got there, i got to the apartment and i talk to both of the guys and it was a tucker from what book. and then one friend of his who was a refugee from this time. and they both told me the story that they had been attacked by right wing protest us. they had been chased by and they said 6 or 7 mass command in dark clothing. so very much later confirmed was it that was confirmed by the police. they the police had it before attack us. so i mean, obviously a very strange situation. and yeah,

so they told me all about the attack and the reason why the attack from goods but wasn't injured was he said he was a bit taller than his friend and able to run past that in his friend from afghanistan. he actually, he showed me his hospital reports and i could still see the huge bruises in his face. so he was beaten. actually, now the man that is now suspected to visit us at soccer. what kind of impression did he make on you? well, of course now i think back and what he was like, and i think he, he came across a very scared he kept telling me he, he really needed to get out of him that he didn't feel safe there. he kept talking, telling me about how he doesn't even walk alone on the streets. you always cause a friend to because he doesn't feel secure. and he was just, you know, saying he need to get out of the city and he wants to go to the western part of germany because he had been in this off before. and that's where he had saved. and

so he did seemed scared. but at the same time, he seemed very outgoing, and his friend was almost like very quiet and traumatized. but he obviously was happy to speak to me. you know, often people don't want to speak to the media after something like that happens. but he was really, you know, contacting me and happy to speak with me. and source seemed not traumatized at all . just scared. so do you, did he come across as someone who needed psychiatric help? somebody who was mentally ill or disturbed, but obviously i'm another doctor. so i can't really just, but i know it was kind of a strange situation me late at night in the apartment and you know, city, i didn't know of the young man. and i didn't feel scared at all. which of course, as a journalist, i was on a story, so i didn't really think about that. but what i'm trying to say, the vibe i got was not a dangerous aggressive why i've had quite safe around them. and so, you know,

i'm not going back of course i one, but in that situation all i've had was that he was scared, but i didn't get any psychological issues. anything like that. did you have the impression that he was a very religious young that he was having? i don't know. the radical religious views are very conservative, religious use any, any indication of we never talk about religion. and i never asked because i was focused on the story on the riots and the attacks. so i wasn't really concerned about that background. and my focus was more of a friend from a guy who was attacked and but he also never mentioned religion. so that didn't seem to be an important topic for him. and i, i mean, he never said, you know, i hate drums or anything like that. that was more about. ok. i don't hear. i'm scared to get me to another part of germany that was like his main focus. and so far, even that he ended up and after the interview was published and he conduct me again

and asked me if i could get him a job in somewhere in the western part of germany. but of course, i couldn't really help with that, but i did for what psychological had for him. you know, there are a few g help centers where he could go and cabinets, but i never heard from you again. so i don't know if he actually ended up doing that. so i know that thank you very much. the now one of the great rivalries in soccer enters its next chapter tonight when england host germany had wembley. and the last 16 of european championships, germany have mostly come out on top in the tournament classes with one exception. that goes way back. that was when england won the world cup at wembley in 1966. since then, germany have won every major nor comp match between the 2 countries. the team arrives in london having chalked up last when and

a drawer to get through the group stage. $40000.00 fans are expected for the match wembley stadium. that's just 5 rising corona virus cases in the united kingdom. the majority of the crop will, of course, be supporting england, but germany don't see the away trip as any kind of disadvantage. wembley, stadium state in history and the spiritual home of english for player the atmosphere can be electric. the crowds also have a tendency to panic. when things aren't going so smoothly, it should be advantage england and get a staff gauge. the germany know better than most that wimbley can be conquered. they be england here on their way to winning the euros in 1996. and now they want to use the hostile crowd to their benefits. this emma is in my guy and you who to me diagnose fence always awesome if the stadium is crowded with your own fan

and that's gone, but it's almost just as awesome when the whole stadium is against you. life and you can reach your maximum performance and silence the opposition of support and foster l aim does get some dance with the united kingdom has seen a state rising current of ours cases in the past week due to the delta variance. but that hasn't stopped plans to host about 40015 on tuesday evening at wembley. it's certainly not an ideal question. so some of the players function guns that even if he had he sons or borderline, if i'm honest, 5040000 fans in the stadium in the only country in europe where currently the incident is right above average. that doesn't make things safer through the cell. it's nick longer. felicia, on this is the bar from optimal. when you look at the big picture, just because i'm busied you to has been determined for as many fans as possible to attend matches at the theater european championship. the show as always, must go on and i'm now joined by the w correspondence.

charlotte chelsea bill at wembley stadium in london. charlotte, how big of a deal is this match for the english fans for odd and english, but we'll find that he is bad to say that there isn't much bigger rivalry than england versus gemini crowds are already starting to gather here is i'm sure you can imagine pups and balls filling off as well ready for the big game facts on the front pages of a lot of the the newspaper today's i'm sure you'd expect hear a tabloid saying and might made for heroes. so no pressure that for the england team, this particular newspaper managing to stay clear on its front page of some of the more ugly world war rhetoric that those who follow this england germany rivalry will be well aware. although if you del, further into the, from, into the pages it's clay, they can't avoid it completely. but this is a rivalry going back decades. the england fans back to 1966 off the last time they

won the world. 8 cup in a match against germany and from then on it's been quite a disappointing competition against germany always. in fact, the last time that england beat germany in count stages of an international tournament was that while caught matching 966, which is only increase the rivalry here a lot of upsets in england, particularly when it comes to penalties up against germany. so they'll be looking to, to correct some of that pain from the pos for the play is though many of them one ball and during some that the better known matches between england and germany. the manager of the england team saying very clearly that england here wants to create its own history and possibly some happy memories for the england team. tell us, until they're in london in front of london,

a lack of respect or damaging to their interest. provokes a swift response. far outweighs any disadvantage, they may have suffered that he spent them then those would be the in recent decades . 170 innocent victims have been murdered at the hands of been that i get in calabria. the small town of laurie on anybody yellow exception. that was where ventura and so came. nemo sister lives. she disappeared 5 years ago. it's clear she was murdered. but her body has never been found. the entire family is still traumatized by what happened. he'll, they don't put you down for, for a while. i couldn't even come to my shop to work. i couldn't bear to look people in the eye because i was afraid i might be looking into the eye of my sisters murderer . and with every handshake,

i thought i might be touching the hands of my sisters murderous. ah, maria was a, we do know venture and so his wife and his mother are bringing up her 3 children that we just couldn't believe that something so terrible could happen to maria. but someone would attack her and even take away the body, which is what the drug to cleanse. doable and get them to maria. never had anything to do with the mom. my if i, when i got there and it was successful and outgoing, part of the well respected local family. she went to university, got married at 3 children and founded a small agricultural business. then came her shocking death. ah, tension. so drives as to where she used to have her business on that fateful day. 5 years ago when the money has employees found her empty car here and immediately

called the chance. so we got the both rushed straight over here and arrived less than 10 minutes later. maria carr was right there almost makes to this one. but that was quite a live blood at the engine was running, and there was blood on the ground to cheer us angry. and it was all b as maria had been the victim of a brutal attack. since then there's be no trace of money. we don't shut up the police arrived with a forensics team question. the neighbors sees the car and recorded all the evidence . it took the lead request, a quote for on 10 channels on the now the side of the road is a security system that has a camera pointing this way, but i don't blame that it will. it should have recorded everything. got been yet, but the caribbean, uri discovered that on that particular morning of the system wasn't working properly. you know, nonsense and lynch and so still doesn't know what happened to money. the police

launched an investigation and searched the entire area. one suspect was arrested later released due to insufficient evidence. so when the trial began and then she hoped he might learn something over the past 50 years, then the ghetto has steadily expanded its base and cooperate. authorities in the capital cut on saddle are now hoping to at least liberate the province of vivo, valencia, the area controlled by the mancuso family. here, the local authorities were heavily infiltrated by them and get nicholas paddy has been tireless in his investigation. he reached a deal with 60 key witnesses who agreed to testify to avoid a life sentence and present. mancuso, mancuso family dominated this area. they controlled all economic activity here and

they bought vocal and influenced local and regional elections, the global within their territory. they infiltrated all areas of daily activity, economic, political and social mika. they viewed the entire province of bebo, valencia as their property, as opposed to a property. the mancuso family is heard of them that i get the governing body known as the creamy ne, it controls and coordinates. all right, get yourself worldwide. lead rules of the john get are the same all over the world . they just copy them. it's like a brand. they have a structure that's divided into territory so called low colleague will young copy to get that if they set up a new one somewhere on it, they follow the same principle. its like a franchise whether its frankfurt do sport, zurich, piano, or new york. and it's the same everywhere

me in the district of liberty prompted mancuso clan. the status now seeking to win back territory already has seized illegally purchase property like this, the lead belonging to the men to sell family journalist, mckinley, albany. there had been writing for many years about the criminal dealings and get to the far reaching tentacles of the mafia. clan, he too has a pair of body guards constantly at his side. ever since it emerged at the mafia wanted to kill him. just go and course i will tell him that he on your s, francesco mancuso, had 11 children, who in turn all had 6 or 7 children of their own. they are all engaged in lucrative activities, like cocaine trafficking, a lot of stuff. they were authorized by the drug, get to import cocaine from south america. that's how the man,

kudos won the support of the leading and drug to families and moved into the elite leadership on. i mean, you have you said air influences spread to the whole of italy and the entire world for the response to prevail in a month. lived under armed guard for 7 years. his work as a journalist, severely limited, and no one knows when things will change. in my and you never get used to the loss of your freedom without driving a car. it's part of your freedom of going for a walk alone to think and reflect is another element of freedom inside of like anyone who opposes them. then getta and calabria risks their life. the morphia control, entire cities and villages a regime of terror. because this teacher, even though it's difficult, if i don't want to stop reporting the stories about my home, that's kind of for my people to understand that we could live here in italy like

that. we could have really good lines if it weren't for these criminals at all development and progress in previous car. you know, for the municipal council in the body, you have been dissolved 3 times because it was so heavily infiltrated by the mafia . since the mid 19 seventy's leave skimmed off government contracts with millions of euros, with almost every investment made by the state and local authorities, and every private business transaction than that and get i took their cup to ex dorsen and intimidation while criminals like them. i. those grew rich, much of the remaining population were less impoverished. many left the region, especially the young and the well educated. ah, vincent hometown of loading the body yellow was also controlled by the mancuso clan

. he hoped that's a new max he trial will also reveal who murdered his sister. ah, the shock of her brutal death and questions about what happened. continue to plague vengeance. so and his wife. ah, he's not going to come in just something youngster. another video surveillance camera here in the town film to car driving up and down 10 times a thought that someone in the car was watching to catch the moment when maria left the house in the low concur last moment. she doesn't make any gossip. but so far, the trial has not uncovered the identity of the murderer. a thing can indeed be believable. it tried in crazy to think that the person who

killed maria flores assisted in her murder is still free and walking the street and the teachers. come you not caught me, but i'm in the list that are in my miss maria so much you know she was the legal witness at my wedding as i was at home. i love to maria deeply. i love her so much better mother any bought anything? my nieces and nephews deprived him in another day by day and not because of that for this cruelty. another agonizing and pains me deeply thought so free. i would like them to have the same line as my children. so i just gotta give you one moment. yeah. she went up to the yellow house over there is where maria lived and the car drove up and down here 10

times back. and for the moment one revelation has already emerged from the trial. and a key witness said, while he was in prison, he heard that many a body was driven over repeatedly with a tractor and then said to the pigs to remove the evidence. he said he was killed because of a dispute over land. then ran getter often disposes of victims bodies for the families. it's a double tragedy. there's no closure and their loved ones can never be laid to rest . we leave southern italy travels hundreds of kilometers to meet with a former member of the mafia, luigi. but toward a can't appear on camera. he's another key witness at the trial. information from

him has put many criminals behind bars in recent years. his life is in constant danger. he and his family live in hiding. his father and uncle were powerful and yet as in calabria, when luigi announced he was leaving the mafia, his father tried to kill him. the meeting, nita has a child, i experienced an extreme amount of violence. it was rooted, not just physical violence, but also psychological. in, you're still a child a little, but they show you how to kill an animal. they force you to slaughter and got out from the much a lot and they force you to eat the raw flesh. before long story. short. i said he was groomed for life as a killer. you smell the stench of blood,

the stench of death. and then later, when you're in action, you feel everything you're intensely aware of. all the smell is not the ground. it's all your senses are sharpened. you'll need, especially while you're committing the murder, luigi smuggles cocaine and weapons, and committed a number of murders on behalf of his family. at the age of 30, he was made a couple of powerful regional leader. but in 2005, he threw in the towel, agreeing to tell the authorities what he knew about the mafia. he served 6 years in prison and was then released up nice q at burst. you do everything like in a given signal just like you've been taught to pull them out. it's all precisely plan, ice cold without emotion, but it's just something technical steps you follow precisely as though you've done

it a 1000 times. you take a look at bursley, you feel nothing, but will you do. but then when you fire the fatal shock, at least this is what happened to me. you realize that at that moment that was something inside you changed to something is different. you can do this after i returned home from my 1st murder, the 1st murder that i had committed with my own hands. i told my uncle who was the boss at the time that everything was okay. so he looks satisfied and said sit down to see there's a meal waiting for you. and that was the last word on the subject of the little chip. on the day after our interview with luigi prosecutor nicholas perry questioned him in an online meeting. his family did business with mancuso klein so his testimony is also relevant to the current trial. those families were heavily

involved in drugs and trafficking contacts in latin america. the engine get specialized in importing cocaine to europe. they have their own men in columbia work. there is agents are legal and can get cocaine for a minimum price of your bus, like ok, ok, makes up 70 percent of the drug test activities. and they say use extortion mainly to stake out and control their territory and not to earn money. when the, when the big profits come from drugs profiteering and then money laundering and reinvesting money, invest him in to the jewish mikaela, albany has watched the rise of various mafia families over many decades. the more successful ones quickly invested their profits from criminal activities in legal

businesses. well, a lack of concern that quarry over there made the men couso class. what it is today . veterans in the family supplied construction materials on a grand scale to build the port of julia tower over the market. it was lucrative and at the same time did a huge favor for the drug who controlled the building of the porter partridge power and wealth of men in there and get to families increased rapidly. they not only profited from the construction work, they also placed their own people at the port, the largest container terminal in italy, that allowed them to build up a phone bigger business smuggling cocaine from latin america. in pudding vast amounts of cocaine into territory under their own control, soon made and didn't get far more powerful than the cars, enough in neighboring sicily. but only these are now they use not

only julia tower but many other to vanish in french port antwerp rotterdam humbug. rima ha the italian ports of genuine live on a tree it unless bits. here are my the say they send the big consignments of cocaine to wherever they expect control to be the least strict. the control is that about me police specialized in their clinic. now conduct daily checks and julia total to try to intercept the drugs. there are 2 names shipping rooms out of latin america that go directly to julia total. so the porton calabria is a strategic, important to them that and get $2000000.00 containers arrive here each year. the chance of police or customs officers finding smuggles goods. it's relatively low, but at times they do get lucky cavity and they go,

daisy and his team check up to 70 containers a day. every year they find more cocaine, the metal, the rip off method is the classic one. that's where the bags and drugs are placed on top of legally transported goods. so they can be removed quickly when they arrive at the port on the part that i moved on. but last year, we uncovered another method where drugs are hidden amongst the goods, put them in boxes of bananas, for example. and i'm actually going to tell you that it's probably been on the other. and in 2020, we seized a total of 5 tons of cocaine. she quit drugs with a st value of 350000000 euros. but it's estimated that less than 10 percent of smuggle drugs are discovered by the authorities. the same is true of all other

european port, where the amount of cocaine being intercepted is also growing here by here. experts estimate annual sales for the and, and get to amount to 55000000000. but i guess i guess i can buy a pain in latin america for a 1000 euro man. they sell it on here for at least 70 or 80 times that well, that's a huge profit margin, wrote an impressive return in studio. i change the recent study, put the value of illegal funds by the italian mafia in tax havens worldwide at around 3 trillion euros. a part of this is a scholar. it's about 3, meet me the out of the a little. they can literally, by half of europe comprise missouri or all but if they

invest in shares, buying up important companies, they, brian politicians and officials into working for them. and that means everyone is the reason for the call me a former marcia member, the re g, but of into order has brought his oldest son nemo. to meet us, luigi says neither his mother nor his wife came from mafia families. he says there positive influence helped him break with him that i get the bundle shots. when our 1st child was born, i realized that i couldn't teach him the values of the in john gates with the john k to decide who gets to die with no one should have that right soon. i'm biting for this society. i want my children to be part of this culture and we see

this sort of push luigi been haven't what i know is his decision to switch sides could cost him his life. he's come to terms with that. what he struggles with more is that than that, i guess i could also take revenge on his family. they live in an undisclosed location, and they're in constant fear for their lives. and me from my family has lived a life of health for 14 years. now why, why is my family not under police protections, and why haven't we been given a new identity? that if you need to make sure that that person, it's all part and parcel of my janice decision from diane to, to the concert. he definitely made the right decision, and now we have to live with the consequences that haven't been a pretty stetson. but what bothers us and makes us very sad, is that we're not getting any kind of help assist the start of the group. the same

state that made you an offer to work with them, then let's you down when you actually start doing it. it's a huge worry for us. was you on nemo? can't go to university because that would be too dangerous. experts say informants like luigi and their families need to be better protected so that more people will be encouraged to work with the authorities. at the trial back in lithia, all the talk mafia leaders in the province around trial. an absolute 1st that's created hope for some that things could actually change so heavily has very many mancuso family. this trial won't solve the problem. i wish it would, but sadly, we need to carry out many more such operations. but in the town of loudy, i'm anybody else local people can already feel that the power of the mancuso family

has waned to so keen memo is working with a local organization to ensure that the victims like his sister, maria, are not forgotten. he's also volunteering as a teacher for prison inmates. he's teaching natural history. right now the lessons are online, only. all ecosystems are linked together. all organisms of a community are linked together and interact. students include my feels he, he wants to provide opportunities for them to lead their life of crime. he also tells them about what happened to her sister and the impact her death has had on his family. and on her children passed the number to the may need to be meant. they come off to maria's disappearance. a part of me inevitably changed. i was full of anger at these criminal agenda weighs 30 s corps. now, by teaching forgot,

i can somehow give vent to my anger a and not only that, i can bring my anger and my desire for revenge and my desire for justice and truth and channel it into something good that i want for this country. gone then again, with the mortgage more people in calabria are daring to take a stand against the mafia. lynch and so kinda more nikita had uneasy. lee g, one of intuitive and for more than 3 decades, anti mafia, prosecutor nicholas gret, teddy, no matter of price. they're willing to risk everything in their fight against them and get to create a better future for the next generation. ah,

the william had to be honest with i. and if i had known that would be that small, i never would have gone on the trip. i would not have put myself and my parents. angel got 15, even leave away love and sensitive ones. i had a serious problems on a personal level, and i was unable to live there. what's inside of it? you want to know their story, migrants clarifying and reliable information, migrant? me. ah
