fish the goal is to decided to check the story in the town of bull sauce sold out of both sides of the values. and it was there that the journalist met with one of the leaders of an armed militia group and. this was to be her last interview. where is the ballots can you see it's how it is why do you want to see it with us buyers something ok just use the information that's all put into for us on a bus if i don't see a country call it the radio you won't believe it until you see it uses satellite then. shortly after the interview larry i'll be under camera man were murdered in mogadishu. a car in which they were traveling was attacked by an armed gang that immediately fled. the death of a larry i'll be sparked dozens of inquiries in italy. legal

authorities sifting through all the businesses operating in somalia and in doing so uncover the fraudulence toxic ways. market. modern industry produces an increasing amount of potentially fatal waste from chemicals to heavy metals and even radioactive products the more dangerous the material the more expensive it is to destroy. as a result certain individuals offer a cheaper alternative that dumps the waste in the third world a solution which is completely illegal. and the italian authorities have exposed one of these networks it is not the only one of its kind and it is certainly not the most significant. for people who are involved in this toxic ring the former owner

a somali counsel at seal scud leoni. an expert in toxic waste. great businessmen and a key contact for the italian army in mogadishu jan carlo. and the fourth man in the network is none other than the then president of somalia. in one thousand nine hundred five a former president appoints only honorary consul scully only makes full use of his devil magic status to set up the toxic waste scam ignores the fact that in one thousand nine hundred three international treaty for bids the export of dangerous waste materials from europe to the third world. studly only toured northern italian industrial complexes it went from door to door

like a common salesman to any industry that needed to rid itself of toxic waste. its destruction is expensive and he offered to do the job on which. among the unjust realist sky could only called on is this man a scrap metal merchant from the tour and region who only agreed to be interviewed on the condition of anonymity. moshe said they were looking for people who had ways to get rid of their crew. member yes the problem was they had to look for quite a few in order to fill the ship. and i never compared one and how many tons could be loaded onto the ship from. his ship must have been at least ten thousand pounds. at one hundred

dollars a tonne a full load could earn a substantial profit of one million dollars but scuttle only raise so much dust in his rounds of industry that he began to draw the attention of the authorities a judge in the northern italian town of asti led the inquiry he also rise the phone tapping over several months of suspected members of the network. rule was to collect the waste that's what he himself told the industrialists he met . the also said what he was doing was entirely legal i think. ever of the point was that at the time somalia was a country that couldn't legally imports up sort of. whatever documentation he provided. these days scarily only is no longer a somali honorary consul is so shared with masonic and templar organizations and is

the self-proclaimed head of the phantom state of nevada a tiny island off the coast of haiti. it effectively exists only on the internet he agreed to be interviewed only in his capacity of the prince of never. seen. so if your country is recognised and you become head of state. then you would have diplomatic immunity which. i like and as with any head of state yes you have held a diplomatic post haven't you. but that was a long time ago your somali honorary consul wants to sleep for four years yes. there are some people who believe you use this diplomatic role to bring toxic waste into somalia is that true show me show me i have no idea what you're talking about . and you don't want to talk about it or you don't know what i'm talking

about and i'm sticking to what i said at the store and want good from that so you don't want to talk about it. as i said i can talk to you about nova but that is all . for free for you don't want to drive past it to release earlier present havoc with the course. the prince of nevada revealed nothing further. his business partner at the time was jim garlow mad at you know a shipping agent. who controlled the port in the north of mogadishu march you know had been living in somalia for more than ten years he knew the warlords was an informer for the italian army had won several construction contracts and peddled favors in the influence. it was martino who provided the access to ali mahdi the

somali president. he claimed to get presidential authorization to import toxic waste. so was there a network put in place to export toxic waste to somalia the dish it took sick no matter. if it only there was no network talk yes i'll do this to send that much a lot of that you believe me tell you what it was just to make money it was a fraud the question will take the money upfront and then say sorry i couldn't do anything and keep the material couldn't be shipped or some such exceeds through free it's a sort of scam should be the way it works is i offer to do something for you you pay me to advance to do it but in the end it doesn't work out in the meantime i've made twenty or thirty thousand feet to fit you. the judicial inquiry established that ben somali president was also to receive his share from the toxic

waste trade roughly thirty five percent of the profits. today ali money is no longer president he lives in ny. the cultural capital of kenya and refuses to speak to journalists. he does however insist that the evidence implicating him is false. and yet it was official also arise ation issued from the presidential office in one thousand nine hundred six that finally permitted the import of harmful toxic waste . only was put in charge of the operation which seem to have been set in stone. going to early is an adventure a half serb half italian with an a ray of passports and identities his name appears on several documents involving the shipment of toxic waste to africa is also spent

about a dozen years in prison. he was another who enjoyed the confidence of the somali president and witnessed the network's activities. go off and you visit somalia a number ten times did you have any dealings with the early movie. there's quite a few affair for so anyway was he the one who authorized the toxic waste to be sent to some other issue to see girls and i do. know of no i don't think it was him the authorizations were aboard. the film. and yes in his dealings with the tally in businessmen only claim to have the full backing of the somali president including for radioactive waste the most dangerous of all.

your back and. rear. of the rig and. yeah. but it was that. added that. faced with the damning evidence of the recordings the honorary consul decides to spill the beans and betray his former associates. he says marciano plan to hide the radioactive waste in huge container such as this one. these containers were to be buried in the jetty of a porch he was building in north mogadishu. italian authorities used amateur photos showing such metal containers being buried in the concrete as evidence. when they full of radioactive material

a scandal only claims. today the port is out of bounds it is in the hands of al qaeda is islamist militias. because you are. doing it i mean it's here to console lives you had some serious problems i'm not sure maybe someone told him if you confess to this we can help you too much after all the shit that arrives fully laden with waste off the coast of somalia because he wasn't going to do enter a port in offload the barrels the barrels would just be dumped at sea and that's it was the problematical in general i could get in early. on a day that the journalist lp was killed with a cameraman in the streets mogadishu a white italian man was the first on the scene. he seems to know more about it than the others is none other than john carlos marciano.

sad because i arrived right afterwards and there was a lot of confusion i was upset. i thought it was a planned ambush because the core had been machine gun and nine bullets i said to myself they should never have been in this place and then what they said and how they got to be here well my conscience is clear i mean when we're in with no one go below progressivity our questions about the l.t. murder brought the interview to an end. that's enough why are you asking these questions no one has ever been charged with the murder of a lottery and i'll be here my never nor for trafficking waste. that they were going to feel the. italian authorities did eventually find a somali citizen guilty for the killing of the journalist has always proclaimed his

innocence and many believe the case is still unresolved. any evidence from the phone tapping of skyblue news network has been thrown out as invalid. none of the three men will be troubled as a tally in magistrates have never sent a team out into the fields to check the facts. in a village not far from milan lives someone who has changed his mind about the toxic waste trade. someone who exposed a team that was preparing such an operation in africa. severing has since retired from all activity and lives on the street where nobody asks questions. but for many years several job involved dumping poison into the poorest countries. as the traffic and waste benefit from a war situation. beyond the ideally yes it makes things easier if you if you can

sit cynical thing to say but it's true. for words. our people already feel powerful oddly i imagine in the world with little flags italy is full of naples a simple enough point with what's missing. and we're about in africa laugh or wherever there are serious problems or poverty so haiti in somalia places where political problems are particularly bad it's just business human life has no relevance whatsoever. one day in haiti where here dump some particularly dangerous waste several witnessed a scene that would change him forever. i was in charge of unloading the ship i was stuck in the port and it was costing about two million lira a day

a lot of money the faster i can offload the boat the better. cream and hoodie i unloaded the containers usually cream one on top of the other because i'm throwing them out one after another they're cowing up everywhere but i don't care because we're going to leave two weeks later i saw the result of this is that it was awful it was radioactive waste you see what. in the end separate decided to inform the powers that be what he was involved in. which will get a lot of after in the area lp was killed i decided i had to tell the authorities from all the courses where you got. several allied himself with the anti mafia division in milan and allowed the police to infiltrate his network. the network was connected to several celebrities of the international crime scene the police discovered that present within the organization was a certain moans are al cazar.

months or al qatar is a flamboyant syrian who works for all sides is sold weapons to extreme right wing left wing american groups on behalf of the americans. he has armed iraq and the palestinians. according to a un security council inquiry made public in two thousand and three all costs are has also sold weapons to the various armed militia and somalia. the weapons were shipped in boats belonging to the infamous shift go company in which he had expressed such an interest just before being killed. ten years later u.n. officials confirmed the young journalist suspicions. the boats were just used for fishing but for arms trafficking and probably toxic waste as well.

the way they paid off these militias who were very poor was to offer them weapons in exchange for dumping the toxic waste it was a win win situation for them because it was a young sister if you will it's only. after three years of investigation the anti mafia division of milan decided to terminate the infiltration operation as it was considered too dangerous to proceed i want out the moment though at a certain point the judicial authorities had to put an end to. the dangerous nature of members of the network we decided it was better to prioritize the safety of our men on the inside and. they look at authority the police yes oprah. in two thousand and nine the u.s. arrested arms dealer al costs are being set up and thought he was selling arms to colombian guerrillas who turned out to be federal agents he was sentenced to thirty

years in prison. before venturing into piracy the somali gangs have proclaimed themselves the nation's coast guards. their stated aim was to protect their season shoreline from talks of waste and illegal fishing. but today they are just pirates. and you have the fisherman who live alongside them every day defend their actions they have a different notion of what represents piracy. anyone can understand that thank you so much. if we poor poison where you live and there's no government to protect you do a lot. when foreigners attack you move even you defend yourself if you do so where

they. along the somali coast a fleet of western war vessels hunt down the pirates several dozen of them of already being arrested to this day no action has been taken against any of the industries suspected of disposing talks of waste off the coast of east africa. culture is the same i think the taxpayers' money i mean when i say i am
