in some countries yes. but i would not generalize economic craziest was provoked by community interests and this is the most important contribution that organized crime gave to the situation created the east ability creating one happiness in the many countries of the word how are you dealing with it not trying to cut down we have a first of all to stop with the source of instability and a financial crisis and organized crime is a major actor in provoking financial crisis all over the word. i was saying many times that water russia was in the ninety's with the mafia going all over exporting russia money. money laundering corruption by a lens is now or curing in the several countries of the word which countries or you

have a now. hungry. albania was being recently struck by a big financial crisis so you have all these countries that. experience dramatic negative. situation you got to be good samples in tunisia and egypt where the two families of the two presidents became reach stash their money abroad the family of a mr ben-ami the family of mubarak. to me to have stashed abroad between them six billion dollars for now they create a big problem because when you boil them and in the countryside to record. it was a product of all over the production mo money laundering or sometimes also relationship with organized play on the. you're now

a torrent to afghanistan. do you agree with american ambassador eikenberry who says that president karzai is brother is a major afghan opium trader but is a very old story i know but no one ever gives an answer and that this is a very old story when i was in the united nations this guy was already you know. major traffic so it's true of course it is true but this is just one. out of many problems what about you work so closely with afghanistan that's why i'm asking revelations for example in diplomatic cables to u.s. diplomatic cables a dry disastrous picture in afghanistan for example is it true that afghan minister after to buy with fifty million dollars in cash are like other cabinet members have probably seen palm trees already in dubai it's a trip that is absolutely true. but this is just one the piece of the truth. he might report you will find many figures and one important figure is this the.

forty billion dollars that lived in afghanistan for the civilian aid all the eight of these forty went through the afghan government so the corruption of the african go a month is big so what does the rest go to the government officials know that there is international corruption so they're all intertwined you know so we choose never to address international newspapers particularly west of these people never speak about this big piece of the cake very speak all the time about corruption which is there of course but this is most likely. the biggest corruption. over the steel of african people eighty percent there with international aid. the problem is that it's not visible. have an eye for ministers of the fifty.

dollars you just with kids you have soft corruption. this way software that means. waste. useless consultants and people who are paid three hundred thousand euros a year. for doing nothing just to. see. the problem with or we write this. totally useless with. me and this money absorbs a disproportionate amount of the international aide who goes to afghanistan but no one on the speaks about it but operation on a bigger scale for instance and they tell us anti-drug. policy in afghanistan has had any impact. in two thousand and one up to now while nato doesn't do. x. operation. the contribution of

a military occupation by the need. of any stand is different. their contribution to corruption is the military logistics. they subcontract to just you know from the start to private companies. subsequent to. the military with just the. business of a couple billion dollars to companies who are comprised by world roads sometimes even by the thought about. the security of. boiler trucks goes from kabul. afghanistan in exchange of huge amount of money and the money that he's taken from the military nato military logistics is more i calculated the takes from drug trafficking. now you as an executive director at the office for drug control and crime prevention i know

that your policies almost brought about a collapse in afghan poppy trade did you directly negotiate with the taliban to kill the poppy crop or are you spoke with the taliban leaders in one thousand nine hundred seventy when they just conquered. the country about the nation opium poppy cultivation in exchange for international aid for the africa base. they did not to buy the agreement we've got. and i change the strategy. i ask the security council to get the sanctions they got. also i will be to them politically from the countries that surround the focused on the fifty percent of. before arriving to russia or before arriving to europe. after going to heaven stays

in the region goes to pakistan. to the six countries borders of i created an alliance of this country to put pressure on the taliban on stopping the cultivation. of this fact or blige a certain point the taliban would be to the production in the year two thousand and one there was almost zero production of afghanistan this is important because. i showed that it is possible to eliminate the drug cultivation of i'm not going to stand it is not something that is beyond our possibilities for example in a recent interview with russia today his recent interview with cars that he said that you know and promises that we are in control of there is no proper protection where we're not in control we you know we can't be responsible. it is true that. cooperate with the international community in the plan to provide africa

a base an alternative livelihood. drug production can be eliminated i'm sure that to the point that with even off. we between russia and the e.u. we are going to launch a plan to eliminate production in five years you're talking then your resume details a life long fight corruption organized crime and drug trade it seems like afghanistan is like a perfect storm in that respect yes yes we're going to be in the basically destroyed by the storm that is lasting since ten years plus another twenty years of civil war . in afghanistan. more widespread today than it was ten years ago you have a fifty percent off children. you will ask why if international community standards offer every year more than five.

billion euros. just for c. you get eight where does money go with. most of this money is lost eighty percent take out the rate of this money is simply lost. course but also that kind of international waste what they call soft corruption that. most of the money that european and american taxpayers set off going to start. thank you very much. thank you thank you for your.
