2:32 am
believe her clients would be able to avoid paying taxes on these valuables forever . the sofa luggage is off the customers warehouse is often just a stock gap because they don't know where they want the goods to go. yet be interesting. and before it gets attacked somewhere, they keep it in duty free storage. i got them when it comes out, it will get tax as if it will. it's not an issue here like it is in hotspots like luxembourg, geneva and singapore. austria is different. the season is tweaking with the fire. it's a collector princess sculpture with a $1000000.00 to austria from abroad. it would normally cost a $130000.00 euros in tax tax. isn't jew as long as an item is in custom storage that will everything eventually leave and become taxable? what's the value of everything here? burg vickers won't commit. ah,
2:33 am
you ought warehouses of also sprang up in germany in the small town of mining and the state owned land is bank touring and bank had a cash storage facility built in the 19 ninety's to day it houses are under the names and char depole, customs warehouses were once strictly transit zones nowadays. valuables can stay here indefinitely. what's fueling the rising demand? aah! from his office in manhattan not far from the major auction houses at florida fits diesel, has long noticed the growing freeport trend. it showed me emotional long and long. i'd been wondering for a long time why we didn't have a freeport here in the united states. and i wanted to create one,
2:34 am
but i never got round to it as a fulfilled young. finally, 5 years ago, i decided to do it with the delaware freeport. very successful. also material afford the u. s. state of delaware has no v a t my. he's a top notation for art as an investment many an investor in all this is ligim and guilt in const on. if i'm an investor and i put my money into art, i don't want to pay import sales tax on my art on my investment me. in the same way that you wouldn't pay tax if you bought shares. builder that's the exact reason for free ports so that investors can store there aren't there and not be burdened with tax issue was logon and sir, listen as of this is sinful, isn't a little shy on the philosophy, but diesel also stresses that the items become taxable as soon as they leave storage. so what's the advantage? lou?
2:35 am
we receive a message from geneva. the free port has a new director and claire beach, who's willing to talk ha ha ha. yeoman thought my plan is best, very brief and very extensive salons. i want to maintain our excellent thought hunter because we've been around for 130 years. and now we're the world's biggest freeport. specialized in art and valuable items like vintage wines and classic cars . and this is because we offer true excellence as your service quality. i exceed all as well as neutrality and with the neutrality. yes, have offices are we're not allowed to film inside the storage rooms and hallways. instead, beach introduces this to various service providers within the freeport,
2:36 am
including art, restore andrea hoffman. even services within the duty free zone are only taxed once the object leaves as it is 149, i've been working at the freeport for 27 years. it's an absolute privilege to work here. this su, am, we're all working together and our concern is the art ever to serve the art teacher design aren't on 13th to their const took him the director emphasizes that freeport serve primarily to preserve and protect important works of art. the common suspicions that free ports facilitate tax evasion, stem from a misunderstanding beach says, count on dish could see calling this place. tax free storage is raw. max. really? it's a misnomer before it's
2:37 am
a meth and have you longer misunderstanding. these are haps, out of ignorance, zera the tax is simply suspended, move as if it's on an airplane that's bound mechanism. and when the plane lands she's found it will be cat. yep. click where it land lease was at vaccine solar. you that any session will, all the taxes really be paid in the end. we travel to jersey, the channel island and renown tax. ivan tens of thousands of offshore companies registered here. john christenson is from here and was an economic advisor to the government. he then founded the tax justice network, which aims to shut down tax havens. the rental secrecy index is basically a wave ranking, the way in which countries enable their clans, ultra high net wealthy individuals and high high net bills individuals to hide wealth offshore. clearly free ports being used as an important part of, of sure,
2:38 am
wealth management. clearly a lot of wealth is being shifted to free ports. and clearly it belongs in any index which tries to, to understand the ways in which countries like luxembourg or singapore, or switzerland, or deliberately and knowingly creating this optional space. well, very wealthy people can hide them. it's obvious to him how free ports of really being used while it is true that all taxes payable, once the goods leave storage, many countries may have deliberately left loopholes to attract the money of the super rich. ah, so look here we have a very wealthy person actually lives in europe, wants to buy work about it is this is a warrant painting,
2:39 am
which is an option in new york for 50000000 euros. in practice, the work of one takes the go to paris is going to be put into a freeport facility in luxembourg. so it can fly straight from new york into locks and we'll get so there it is. but actually this person doesn't want to disclose the tool that it belongs to. so she's going to put it through a company which is registered in the british virgin islands. that it fits between the work about itself and the ultimate beneficial owner and a further safeguard the company. shares don't actually belong to this person that they belong to this trust. and this trust has been established with trustees lawyers in jersey. and there's no information at all about who owns that from. so what's happened here is he set off a vehicle for avoiding tax with no wealth taxes imposed on this is no cuddled gains tax imposed on there was no value added tax note. import tariff. no inheritance
2:40 am
taxes whatsoever. in other words, this is a totally tax free structure and even better the work of, of my double in value and there'll be no tax at all imposed upon it at every stage . christenson has made serious accusations against free ports in the countries that use them. he says he's familiar with systems that use shell companies from his time on the island, but other used with free poets. ah, we ask an inside a he used to work for a company owned by free, put, found an evil ga, he eventually agrees to an interview upon. so by the my untrained, that's a, that's discretion, said it's only for as soon as you start talking about it, you'll be barred from working there. 6 as a lawyer,
2:41 am
intermediary art expert or whatever, thoughts, all items i am because you're seen as a traders. what are the some one who threatens the entire network or hinder? i don't work in that environment anymore and i have no interest in working there ever again. that is on fred, you much, that's v. i've been thinking a lot about what we actually did there. she had called and asked her and the opportunities on offer there that i didn't even really notice before i need. i just like to make it a bit clearer, that these opportunities exist to horace to quite often. why isn't this? this is a movie channel. he surely after the free port in singapore opened bouvier apparently invited people from various high caliber sectors for a tour. i'm only isn't if your toilet vine alarm in cuz we were in a room with lots of very expensive wines, in huge quantities. and i'd say, yeah, supposedly the largest quantities of certain vintages of the best french red wines
2:42 am
were stored there. i think and opposite that was a completely different room that had smaller rooms within it like safe deposit boxes in a bank. i know a volume of on for gold, and there were smaller ones for diamonds, not climb over. here for a month. the free portion cinnapool is right by the airport. golden diamonds can allegedly be brought into storage straight from the tarmac, even anonymously. the 2nd is enough was estimate us if you called alice presidio english. it was in singapore that it 1st occurred to me to ask what's going on here? why are we always dealing with these entities that are nothing more than shall companies either to lend on? you actually give it some thought. if you find yourself asking like who is the customer here? hiding behind the company, name, sunrise, limited or whatever. hidden in the british virgin islands,
2:43 am
konita zions. it could be anybody dimensions like they could be people with sanctions. dictators. it could be kim jong own. i and you just carry on doing business there anyway, with no idea who's riches, you're hiding these leister miles's designs. if assets are deposited under a shell company to the freeport operators really have no way of knowing who truly owns them. actually yankee the found montage arm literally and can choose to use an offshore construct. so you see that form of creativity, not only in the art world applicability, you see it in every legal and financial field leader, men, the kids. but we don't have the slightest interest in facilitating any kind of illegal activity or an actor k, a t for those under many legal there are people working to shed light on these
2:44 am
constructs. john christensen monitors dubious financial transactions around the world while we're filming. he discovers a new lead in the us shady business deals. the still surfacing from the panama papers a report that just come up from the u. s. senate, the subcommittee on investigations. and they're talking about, ah, russian oligarchs using the art market to hold wealth. and lord m launder money. the referring in particular to one family arcady rothenberg who apparently was holding does your blog works in germany? the us report isn't about tax evasion, but rather the evasion of international sanctions were told,
2:45 am
the system they use is the same. the documents prove how confidence of russian president vladimir putin used offshore companies to trade valuable paintings undetected. they, by moving funds, a german customs warehouse served as a hub, boris and our cardi rothenberg allegedly moved millions like this because of the russian annexation of crimea. they were under sanctions and when most allowed to do business in the west. crystal trout theatre in germany works together with john christensen. he knows how rare it is to uncover these transactions when the thing is still high. so cause our dish and so vish via and that's why this case is so important that it shows for the 1st time that customs warehouses in germany being used for dubious transactions. i'm yeah, a year ago when we carried out the financial secrecy index and the ministry of finance said that customs warehouses weren't a problem in germany. they said there were no cases of abuse. it's not
2:46 am
a problem here. is paul as, as what was kind of will blame on a thin months of but now we have a case that shows it is a problem latent fire as this, i'm probably anonymous paintings, subject to us sanctions have really arrived in germany, been stored and moved on unrecognized than the in deutschland, uncle con gallagher on her country dog. a short right. official man. the works of sanctioned russian. oligarchs was stored here in fresh and ne cologne. in the warehouses of hassan camp, gymnast largest art forwarding company. it has locations here and abroad. it was the investigation in the us that brought this to light. ah, what else is stored here? owner and managing director hands even schneider agrees to an interview. we have
2:47 am
a tenant side, bob named laga under this vices. neisha established him. thus we're not sitting on any time bombs in the warehouse, certainly not up. we had no knowledge about oden bag fault that came out through the report on the film. huh. it was just a company that brought objects to our warehouse class. mr. bonsa was the curator who was putting together a collection that he bought at auctions in europe and around the world. the elbow chill, a perfectly normal processed, coughed foot, no matter for them. in 2019 a representative of the russian oligarchs, shell companies had the paintings transported from hassan camp to moscow. there are divine as o'malladge. they were stored normally, just like they would be for any one else. there was nothing special about adopt kinda bizarre not it hasn't, can't even know or should have known who the paintings belong to the economy. the tradition because we can't track the economic beneficiaries. we can
2:48 am
guess if we're dealing with a scenario in germany endorsement, but we can't as a rule, it's also not our job as a freight forwarder. i do exactly what customs requires of me and that's enough. does light the paint was over $18000000.00 us dollars in total. the present whereabouts remains unknown. have been no further investigations into the case in germany. swiss finance lawyer, monica rod, things governments need to investigate further. i think the sharpie decent, banished gaze. he, i read this report like had good thriller, me master hon. and i couldn't put it down. john grisham of if john grisham had written it, i'd be saying, well, how does he do it this? impunity, this lack of sanctions is only possible because the art market is the last
2:49 am
significant market there that is not regulated only they mock the theft, least likely. that say most of the lose in germany. does anyone even check who owns the assets and customs warehouses? fabio de massey was the vice chair of the left party in the gym and parliament until 2021. he asked the ministry of finance because he had concerns about a tax loophole and a loom on sofa aguilar at us during valuables anonymously. and judy free lends itself to tax evasion. it's anonymous us, you can't be traced on males, which obviously shook the response from the ministry of finance confirmed his suspicions. cook, shocked by americans live wind by minimize your fun situation with customs
2:50 am
warehouses is disturbing because there are no obligations for owners to report assets. they're kept of us, it's not recorded. who owned something like an expensive paintings, but who has extolled good ownership can even be transferred during storage without having to inform customs authorities. oscar and on average on site inspections, happen only once every 3 years as the one that says everything's. the system doesn't really work. no one knows what's going on, liked awful to yet. to finish i, which was one which was the rules. the ministry admitted that it's completely legal to still valuable items under a shell company for an unlimited amount of time. in 2020 alone art and valuables worth more than 900000000 euros were placed in duty free storage in germany. relatively little in an international comparison. but how much of this is
2:51 am
tax evasion? a single artwork by a major artist can fetch hundreds of millions to day. how many pieces like this stored in geneva? fremy paganini also believes that free ports are systematically used to avoid taxes and that freeport entrepreneur equal ve. yay! may have used these loopholes himself to help a russian billionaire did a whole country. i've, it was sure he believes if emma should believe bouvier got to know dmitri ribble of love and offered to acquire paintings for him. he lives, he sold them on to rebel of love for substantial profits. it's generally assumed that a large part of the deal between these 2 men was negotiated within the freeport in both party. the tablo. since they started doing business together in 2003 via has sold almost $2000000000.00 worth of paintings to rebel live.

perhaps one of the few who doesn't seem to be the vince of whenever a clint painting changes hands on their uncles. so there have been hardly any transfers without nosing near the baby when a piece worth millions changes hands, a buyer wants to be absolutely certain that it's genuine. an appraisal always confirms the authenticity, ah, says, dividing, and was surprised to see how the painting can be sold without ever leaving the warehouse. but with the school sort of about a crate comes out of say, storage room number $125.00, which is the seller's hold of infant wants. then it's packaged back up. your goes back into the crate and the crate disappears off again to the bias room. office number 235 ordered from from pres. usually nothing ever gets out about the sales. but business partners, bouvier and ruble of live a facing off in
