dish for italy is the perfect place to be an investigative journalist. it's complicated history and politics. it's food and culture. it's ties to the vatican. even it's football. all of these things have been the source of interesting stories in the past. i am allison brody, and this is my production parker and manuel a piano for many years we've made documentary films, and most of them have been pretty straightforward. but the story that we are above to tell you is something else entirely. it is a routine. it's an enigma,

wrapped in riddles, buried in mysteries. it's the most remarkable and complicated story we've ever come across. and we found it almost by accident. ah, it's about money laundering. and much else besides. ah. as it next 3 episodes of people in power will tell you about internet conspiracy theories. bark you're looking at the shipper. you confidence. tricksters and organized, trying. boy wall, it. it weighs all the though. was that a she randi did. he drove yet docile. it divorced and only out of the way that you'll hear the names of a famous russian movie director, a ukrainian folk dancer computer hackers and even african politicians give those. there was that we did that this is a skin. i'm the number one in huntington and

as we try and make sense of what we uncovered amid all the mysterious businesses and people who don't seem to exist, will introduce you to the person at the heart of this complicated with a man most reluctant to reveal his secrets if that was his bag in fear, les collinsville awards, and when he was, as your cooper would a free fiction if with is over is likely a problem with it. but more of them later. for now, let's start where we began almost 3 years ago with the international narcotics trade and the italian mafia. ah, back in 2020, we were working on another story about organized crime and all too frequent occurrence for italian journalists. in the process, we interviewed marco,

a former member of them that i get the mafia from the region of calabria in southern italy, went to europe in order to renew it, which will be on jamarcus when one by one over to the golden doodle in europe. oh, michael told us that back in the 19 ninety's than drank into built ties with latin american, cocaine cartels. who wanted to open up markets to europe. the profits from the distribution of cocaine, he said, were loaded onto trucks and transported from italy to switzerland, where complacent banks took the money and sent it out to other international banks . then when needed, some of it would come home involve your own live formula, spooky me wellborn walker. she was in your chest. i remember disorders love you from the normal sperber longer, warmer discovery ridge. good will be over for drug trafficking is immensely

profitable. the cocaine trade alone is believed to be worth at least $130000000000.00. and some estimate. it could be 5 times that figure than that on guitar has been controlling cocaine routes from south america to europe, for at least 30 years. in this time, despite the periodic seizures of narcotics authorities of never managed to find the money until he retired in 2022 from beth up in niecy was a senior magistrate in the dna, the italian national anti mafia director. it last call for the lord gave that feel the agreement, i leave the bomb of yours. it gray low the or bit i with pneumonia will finance. so not even thought they will is go to an agreement on feelings like home if and novel bay. com. if i'm not, i'm not saying bad these putting you on a preston on me or forget that 50 ca head neuron gillis,

a man called little beth to record that who was allegedly laundry, hundreds of billions of yours, on behalf of the mafia. the 1st journalist to break the story was unless your company oh oh, she played a competitor to cool my that allowed to leave for my dba that i want it. but if you go to the goa for matthew island, the quantities on it was she thought or in process, so care ladbroke are and in close to that i took it out in the quiz. ah, you guess? yeah. form of people would are most important. they put a new plan, you thought, i guess you know medical, nar, cap. yeah. okay, a balcony. that all? yeah. a lemon. alita lujan. ne, i look in the, in a flawed, even a little bit. i love only celia. i can go down as a new daughter, a good that and will be sort of bottling down. because he knew he got sick. knew he

dmitri radcliffe, and why were their names connected to organized crime? initially, the name, the me to red cliff didn't throw up any thing in our online searches. but we found cedric on this as name in an article from 1989 about a murder at a highway toll gate near ot day in central italy. the report said that on the day contessa was shot and killed. he was carrying 350000000 leading cash in the trunk of his car while the samples of the lonely. she's the frontier salvia, man, that's your money. last april t show kathy barricaded o'connor shallow. more importantly, check out that particular to what degree showed you know, she bought funny, mocking action condo men on reaching an incandescent, the purple, not up enough, fini thought modeling. magdalena molten worked shoulder to shoulder, was cedric contessa. throughout the late 19 eighties,

melinda. i'm gonna try to do it. quin the blank and that sink up comalla. normal weather said joe contest as death was a targeted, chilling, or merely a robbery for cash that went wrong. we didn't yet know nor did we yet understand why his name had more recently been used. vital, better to, to go to daddy in connection with supposed mafia bank accounts overseas our aim was to try and unlock some of the secrets of because that is networked to establish whether he really was the master money launderer that the police had suspected. and if so, what else he and the mafia might have been up to. but we soon began to realize that nothing in this looking glass world was quite what it seemed. sandra contessa was survived by a son modi too. according to the police police wiretaps in late 2017

roberto recorded that. he received a power of attorney from audi chill, contessa, to administer his father's account. we managed to find moti to he agreed to meet us at the toll gate in order to where his father was killed over 30 years ago. we wanted to ask him about his father's alleged accounts and whether there was any tangible evidence of their existence. he'll upon the label, the fact that the actual linear ocean and i will miss your channels. i think on kate, i mean there, i'm bankers entirely that i me there when i, when i'm buying catherine, i don't i can't read it. brother celebrities zone in both on the vehicle. no, it's been on it. but as it ended up on vision, bradley it visually that up on vacation mode, it's you the night, any connection with the mafia. he claimed that he found documents attesting to the existence of his father's accounts, in a brief case after his father's death. the accounts he said,

were given to his father, to administer during the 1980s by the 2nd signatory dmitri vertically mode eats. you also said that he had tried to withdraw the money in the past without ever succeeding. we found evidence that a 2007 moti, to claim to have transferred $1300000000.00 from st. joe's a legit accounts at the central bank of denmark to an israeli back called hoppel a live according to his railey court documents. when hoppel in bank refuse to hand over the sum molly to his brother law and a 3rd person called danielle at the show, filed a lawsuit against the bank, marty, to explain that the man called danielle at the shop. he was an exceptionally skilled hacker who used to work for him here, maddy irving, bank of language and i said responded chill name then he will then. busy oddly, oblong in my own computer, almost dance us a pressure he had to that, sir,

was the won't you live at the moment? no switch over in said enter net, she stam ivy, frustrating me. corny bush support loom mentally last couple of. okay, a known what are the i'll go to just sheila said a call and i gave you the movie, right. as that. okay. a stroke plaza. lot the eva no more or less of a love head up on pass. it is. are you some party mode eats? you said he works as an art dealer. but what he so candidly described sounded more like a hacking attempt than a banking transaction. he also showed us swift receipts of diligent transfers. we asked him, audio, tula, an experts on money laundering and banking transactions. what swift receipts are and whether the printouts provided by modi, chuckled disa were real with a will now such as that i feel like i said in the way the fact that you pop up and cheap. i mean, that was to build the bank because of said this,

we sweep is there. is there a way to transfer fione in that question to the mom? the 3 threaten us. both spanish been idol mabis, the spa stuff, just the city reading me that she is the man about and i will now be change. it was an arrow. see they must be for quite yet, but all the consider methadone. that was the issue as we took a german took of any bench posts, and i said that he put in a book that a book in a case of sam packet that i thought it would be nice to kill me. she could, i mean they call the she mika cancelling denison correct delivery banking mapquest . and i'm not sure if you need to go that over to the free multi time according to the israeli course documents. the lawsuit against hyperlink

bank was discontinued in 2009 because contessa and his partners failed to pay in advance on legal fees demanded by the court. we contacted hopper lim bank to ask them what they could tell us about the affair. they replied with a one line statement. due to banking secrecy, we are unable to comment on individual clients. we also wrote to denmark national bank, asking about the accounts. they replied as a central bank. we do not engage in commercial banking activities, and we have no knowledge of the accounts and or transactions as described. it always seems highly improbable that jesse no money lenders, sen contessa, ever did have billions of euro stashed away in denmark, national bank and other international institutions. but it begged the question, if no such funds existed in the 1st place,

then why was the alleged master money launderer, roberto dakota di trying through others to access the money? while we puzzled over that riddle, we also tried to find out more about the identity of dmitri radcliff, the 2nd supposed signatory of the mysterious accounts. but i knew that he, when the dollar, thank yeah. give me the, at our, the 5 them of them from m m. i don't, well, and so little olympic event. let's see what i went on and so it'll listen to let him pay for them by her out, getting the rest of them to prove his case. modi to contest, i showed us a photocopy of dmitri vex a passport. the photograph on it seemed vaguely familiarly. we took a moment to translate the cyrillic script on it. it revealed that the actual name written in russia on the document wasn't gimme the veteran. but that of a far more famous russian, the legendary movie director and they at san reached that kosky the bachelor

version of the passports shown by mode each of them. this was in fact an obvious fake and of a man, not even a rack of, but i'll get proof. i mean, it would go mental math for a get you thought, you know, maybe the rather than my father didn't make that cost me to just mowdy took them, they said decline to say more. and of course, it's impossible to say for sure that i'm that 8 that gov ski, the movie director never used the identity of someone called dmitri radcliff. but it seems extraordinarily unlikely yet if dmitri vat wasn't that kosky, than who was he searching through the archives of websites set up over the years by hackers. danielle, at the schulty, we found the 1st occurrence of the name dmitri bexla, though spelled slightly differently. the name was published on the website of a u. k. company called d g f service limited in late 2014. the g f service was part of the

network of a mysterious organization called alpha omega station. it strange manifesto published in 2014, announced the eminent coming of a new world order. among other rumblings aos claim to control assets within the federal reserve system. and at the b, i s. the bank for international settlements, an umbrella organization for central banks. the leader of aos, we learned was a russian man called vladimir. even of each comes out according to background checks, run by italian authorities during a 2014 securities fraud investigation. vladimir comes i had previously been at the center of a number of scams involving fake securities. we wrote tecumseh, who now seems to reside in the united states to ask him about alpha omega station. not for the 1st time in this investigation, we had a less than clear reply. come that simply told us to look for

a man called the nearly pal, a former commodities broker, who can explain the matter to us. named many other envoy and they cannot get you're gonna be making plenty for luckily auto want to go out if ya called bucky baki baki backing up on monday. just if you can, definitely gotta give me like a little bit of 40 on my my chris albert on the layla these to let him brown that is on with that all cat or sin brown with the legal j, natalie law. my husband. ready you've been a gen, a general, been a car like a allah are occupant there, reminded him out of the army and on it on a video of a lot of our bundle on, on the board of education, co gangland all according to files from the 2014 investigation on vladimir clubs and others in 2009, the russian forger enlisted hackers danita shockey and broker than hewlett butler in his team. in an exchange of emails found in the police files the latter to

discuss the steps to be taken to activate a system of accounts. in anticipation of a meeting with vladimir kupta himself. a cruiser crystals, his stem with national electric cars, as he put up. i wanna go look, bah, he got brought a causal de la la la yo. as would it be? daniel upon la refused to explain further what the system of accounts was all about . the only other person who could answer our questions was the hacker himself than yoletta schulty. we found an address for his family in a small town near rome and went to look for him sick, but on thought savage found her candle danielle f. one happy, honest, happy. why now was him on that one? think a can

but were always told that them yet. it was out. finally, we were asked to desist, so we decided to leave a message with our telephone number. but daniella never called us back, or what had started as an investigation into money laundering was quickly turning bizarre. our findings showed that there was much more inside the pol me police report, that italian authorities had missed the banking accounts, allegedly managed vital back to the court that it seemed to be part of a wider system of special accounts created by a forger or hacker, or both possibly as part of a money laundering scheme or a fraud was the mafia's treasure hidden in the folds of the system. or was it all a smokescreen hiding something else entirely? we were at a dead that's when we stumble on the list of banking operations, published by a court in key of ukraine. one of the operations in the list matched to the letter,

one of the transactions, the italian police had overheard little bad to recorded that in discussing. it was an apparent transfer of money from germany to malaysia. the amount was beyond belief to trillion euros in the next episode of people in power. as the mystery deepens, we traveled to ukraine in search of answers. handsome familiar knaves. although chilla that was the voice of me 300, the chill, little ah ah, it, the climate has changed every year for millions of years,
