11
00:01:00,487 --> 00:01:03,247
Speaker 2: I'm Miles Johnson, and I'm an investigative journalist with the

12
00:01:03,247 --> 00:01:06,367
Speaker 2: Financial Times and the story I'm gonna tell you it's

13
00:01:06,407 --> 00:01:09,327
Speaker 2: not a love story, but his stoughts with a wedding.

14
00:01:10,167 --> 00:01:13,087
Speaker 2: It's a wedding that takes place in Dubai in twenty seventeen.

15
00:01:14,527 --> 00:01:17,127
Speaker 2: It's a hot summer's day at the Burj Al Arab,

16
00:01:17,647 --> 00:01:20,567
Speaker 2: one of the most expensive hotels in the world. It's

17
00:01:20,607 --> 00:01:24,167
Speaker 2: a skyscraper shaped like the sail of a ship, rising

18
00:01:24,247 --> 00:01:28,447
Speaker 2: up from the glittering water of the Persian Gulf. Guests

19
00:01:28,527 --> 00:01:31,327
Speaker 2: can arrive across a private bridge in the hotel's fleet

20
00:01:31,367 --> 00:01:35,087
Speaker 2: of rolls, Royce phantoms or flyin landing on the helipad

21
00:01:35,087 --> 00:01:38,487
Speaker 2: on the roof. The wedding party that day has been

22
00:01:38,487 --> 00:01:43,007
Speaker 2: told to keep things discreete no photos and no social media.

23
00:01:43,527 --> 00:01:47,847
Speaker 2: Security is tight. The groom is a young Irish entrepreneur

24
00:01:48,127 --> 00:01:50,687
Speaker 2: and some of his most important business partners have come

25
00:01:50,727 --> 00:01:54,327
Speaker 2: to celebrate his big day. But these aren't your average businessmen.

26
00:01:55,767 --> 00:01:59,527
Speaker 2: Some of them hang priceless stolen masterpieces on their walls.

27
00:02:00,247 --> 00:02:04,607
Speaker 2: They've got multiple passports with multiple identities, and they can

28
00:02:04,727 --> 00:02:09,207
Speaker 2: order the assassination of almost anyone anywhere in the world.

29
00:02:10,647 --> 00:02:14,327
Speaker 2: Because this isn't just a wedding, this is an international

30
00:02:14,367 --> 00:02:17,247
Speaker 2: crime summit. It's a meeting of what will come to

31
00:02:17,287 --> 00:02:21,767
Speaker 2: be known as the Dubai Supercartel, a shadowy criminal network

32
00:02:21,927 --> 00:02:26,367
Speaker 2: that controls a multi billion dollar cocaine empire spanning the globe.

33
00:02:30,247 --> 00:02:32,887
Speaker 2: Over the years, I've written about a lot of different things,

34
00:02:33,167 --> 00:02:36,167
Speaker 2: but more recently you could perhaps describe my beat as

35
00:02:36,207 --> 00:02:40,047
Speaker 2: the places where crime and business collide. I've written about

36
00:02:40,287 --> 00:02:44,207
Speaker 2: Russian billionaires who control private mercenary armies and the Italian

37
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:47,247
Speaker 2: mafia laundering their cash through the City of London. Have

38
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:51,847
Speaker 2: covered Vatican, financial scandals and spy rings that smuggle microchips.

39
00:02:52,407 --> 00:02:56,287
Speaker 2: Because crime is a business, and modern organized crime groups

40
00:02:56,567 --> 00:03:01,527
Speaker 2: they're increasingly run like multinational companies. They have thousands of employees,

41
00:03:02,047 --> 00:03:07,767
Speaker 2: complicated logistical supply chains, and even investment portfolios. It's a

42
00:03:07,807 --> 00:03:10,807
Speaker 2: big economic story, but you don't usually read about it

43
00:03:10,847 --> 00:03:14,927
Speaker 2: in the business pages because reporting on international crime groups

44
00:03:14,927 --> 00:03:18,007
Speaker 2: in the same way we'd report on a blue chip corporation, well,

45
00:03:18,007 --> 00:03:21,967
Speaker 2: it's hard. Crime bosses they don't usually have pr teams

46
00:03:22,047 --> 00:03:25,327
Speaker 2: you can bring up, and mafias. They don't publish audited

47
00:03:25,367 --> 00:03:29,607
Speaker 2: accounts or glossy annual reports. But the money generated by

48
00:03:29,647 --> 00:03:33,967
Speaker 2: organized crime is vast, and most of the time it's invisible.

49
00:03:34,527 --> 00:03:38,247
Speaker 2: It's like this ocean of shadow cash. We know it's there,

50
00:03:38,647 --> 00:03:41,807
Speaker 2: but we can't ever really see it. It's trillions of

51
00:03:41,847 --> 00:03:45,607
Speaker 2: dollars and it fuels things like weapons trafficking and war.

52
00:03:46,167 --> 00:03:49,887
Speaker 2: It can even topple governments. And the men celebrating in

53
00:03:49,967 --> 00:03:52,287
Speaker 2: that wedding in Dubai. They've come up with a new

54
00:03:52,367 --> 00:03:55,807
Speaker 2: model of organized crime, and it's become so successful that

55
00:03:55,847 --> 00:03:59,367
Speaker 2: by twenty seventeen, police believe that they control a third

56
00:03:59,407 --> 00:04:03,007
Speaker 2: of Europe's cocaine market worth billions of dollars a year.

57
00:04:04,687 --> 00:04:07,527
Speaker 2: When I first came across the du By Supercartel, it

58
00:04:07,527 --> 00:04:11,327
Speaker 2: seems like something from a film, something almost ridiculous, like

59
00:04:11,487 --> 00:04:15,087
Speaker 2: Specter from James Bond. I needed to find out more,

60
00:04:15,327 --> 00:04:18,167
Speaker 2: so I started talking to people. I met with sources

61
00:04:18,167 --> 00:04:22,487
Speaker 2: in law enforcement, undercover agents, spies. I got hold of

62
00:04:22,527 --> 00:04:26,887
Speaker 2: legal documents and investigative dossiers, and then I realized, this

63
00:04:27,007 --> 00:04:30,087
Speaker 2: isn't just a story about crime. This is a story

64
00:04:30,327 --> 00:04:34,207
Speaker 2: about a secret economic war. It's a story about who

65
00:04:34,247 --> 00:04:37,607
Speaker 2: gets to control how money moves around the world, and

66
00:04:37,647 --> 00:04:40,647
Speaker 2: where the Western government can keep hold of that power

67
00:04:40,927 --> 00:04:44,887
Speaker 2: as the rules based international order breaks apart. Because I

68
00:04:44,967 --> 00:04:49,407
Speaker 2: discovered that the Dubai Supercartel, they're not just hiding from governments,

69
00:04:49,807 --> 00:04:54,407
Speaker 2: they're working alongside them. But my first clue to understanding

70
00:04:54,407 --> 00:04:57,447
Speaker 2: how this group of criminals became so rich and so

71
00:04:57,607 --> 00:05:00,847
Speaker 2: powerful it took me somewhere that's a million miles away

72
00:05:00,847 --> 00:05:04,207
Speaker 2: from the bling of a Dubai wedding, because one day

73
00:05:04,607 --> 00:05:06,727
Speaker 2: I was speaking to a source and they told me

74
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:11,167
Speaker 2: something I just really wasn't expecting. They said, if you

75
00:05:11,247 --> 00:05:14,767
Speaker 2: really want to understand how all of this works, you

76
00:05:14,847 --> 00:05:16,647
Speaker 2: have to go and look at a murder in a

77
00:05:16,687 --> 00:05:24,807
Speaker 2: small town in the Netherlands. This is Hot Money. Season

78
00:05:24,807 --> 00:05:53,887
Speaker 2: two the New Narcos episode one, Murder Brokers.

79
00:05:53,887 --> 00:05:56,047
Speaker 3: One of the good things about being a crime reporter

80
00:05:56,407 --> 00:05:59,407
Speaker 3: is let you talk to everyone who wants to talk

81
00:05:59,447 --> 00:06:03,767
Speaker 3: to you, very different people, and I like to do that.

82
00:06:05,447 --> 00:06:09,287
Speaker 2: This is Paul Volks. He's a reporter in anster that

83
00:06:09,807 --> 00:06:12,127
Speaker 2: and for more than twenty years he's been working the

84
00:06:12,127 --> 00:06:15,847
Speaker 2: local crime beat for Het Parole, a daily city newspaper.

85
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:20,207
Speaker 2: Paul wears black t shirts and a leather jacket and

86
00:06:20,247 --> 00:06:23,407
Speaker 2: has a gold hoop in one ear. He's old school.

87
00:06:23,807 --> 00:06:28,047
Speaker 2: He's not posting hot takes on social media. When I

88
00:06:28,087 --> 00:06:30,687
Speaker 2: first met Paul, he didn't take long before he showed

89
00:06:30,687 --> 00:06:34,887
Speaker 2: me his bike. He rides it everywhere down cobblestone streets

90
00:06:34,927 --> 00:06:38,247
Speaker 2: and squares and along beautiful canals, going to coffee shops

91
00:06:38,247 --> 00:06:41,327
Speaker 2: and bars to meet his sources. But if that sounds

92
00:06:41,327 --> 00:06:44,007
Speaker 2: a bit quaint, there's a fast, seedy aside to Amsterdam

93
00:06:44,207 --> 00:06:47,767
Speaker 2: that keeps a crime reporter like Paul pretty busy. Because

94
00:06:47,807 --> 00:06:50,367
Speaker 2: Amsterdam is famous for his beauty, but it's also well

95
00:06:50,407 --> 00:06:53,327
Speaker 2: known for its red light district. It's relaxed drug laws

96
00:06:53,447 --> 00:06:57,327
Speaker 2: and a vibrant criminal underworld, and that means Paul always

97
00:06:57,367 --> 00:07:02,967
Speaker 2: has plenty to write about. Like all good crime reporters,

98
00:07:03,087 --> 00:07:06,727
Speaker 2: Paul works his beat. He speaks to everyone. He talks

99
00:07:06,767 --> 00:07:11,407
Speaker 2: to police officers, lawyers, the local prosecutor's office. But Paul

100
00:07:11,487 --> 00:07:14,447
Speaker 2: is also always cultivating his underworld sources.

101
00:07:15,407 --> 00:07:18,927
Speaker 3: I tried to build my network step by step because,

102
00:07:19,367 --> 00:07:22,327
Speaker 3: as you might know, as a crime journalist, your colleague

103
00:07:22,367 --> 00:07:25,207
Speaker 3: cannot give you his or her network. That's not possible.

104
00:07:26,207 --> 00:07:29,447
Speaker 2: And he learns early on the criminals well, they care

105
00:07:29,487 --> 00:07:34,127
Speaker 2: about journalistic standards too. A notorious underworld figure reaches out

106
00:07:34,127 --> 00:07:36,207
Speaker 2: to Paul about a mistake he thought he'd made in

107
00:07:36,247 --> 00:07:38,607
Speaker 2: one of his articles, because he wanted to set the

108
00:07:38,647 --> 00:07:39,327
Speaker 2: record straight.

109
00:07:40,287 --> 00:07:43,407
Speaker 3: But the first time, of course, I thought where to meet,

110
00:07:43,767 --> 00:07:48,047
Speaker 3: how to meet, how to keep it safe. I learned

111
00:07:48,207 --> 00:07:51,927
Speaker 3: quite fast that some public space as a coffee bar,

112
00:07:52,607 --> 00:07:56,487
Speaker 3: is the best place to sit. Or an airport where

113
00:07:56,527 --> 00:07:59,087
Speaker 3: everybody knows there are lots of cameras, there's a lot

114
00:07:59,087 --> 00:08:02,407
Speaker 3: of security. Nothing will happen there. You'll know for sure

115
00:08:02,567 --> 00:08:05,927
Speaker 3: that all eyes will be focused on you as a criminal.

116
00:08:05,927 --> 00:08:09,207
Speaker 3: And I we don't fit in so if something weird

117
00:08:09,287 --> 00:08:12,207
Speaker 3: would deppen, everybody would be a witness and they know

118
00:08:12,247 --> 00:08:14,087
Speaker 3: it as well.

119
00:08:14,247 --> 00:08:18,847
Speaker 2: Back in twenty fifteen, Paul is busy covering crime in Amsterdam. Muggings,

120
00:08:19,247 --> 00:08:22,327
Speaker 2: rival gangsters trying to kill each other, batches of dodgy

121
00:08:22,407 --> 00:08:25,407
Speaker 2: drugs that put people's lives in danger. These seem like

122
00:08:25,407 --> 00:08:27,647
Speaker 2: the sort of things you'd imagine happen in any big city.

123
00:08:28,527 --> 00:08:32,287
Speaker 2: Then one morning in December, he gets a call. It's

124
00:08:32,327 --> 00:08:33,527
Speaker 2: from the police department.

125
00:08:34,567 --> 00:08:37,087
Speaker 3: A man in his fifties was shot with one bullet

126
00:08:37,127 --> 00:08:39,887
Speaker 3: in the head and standing next to his fan. Going

127
00:08:39,927 --> 00:08:44,727
Speaker 3: to work from Amsterdam. I went to Almira, which is

128
00:08:44,767 --> 00:08:45,767
Speaker 3: twenty minute rides.

129
00:08:46,407 --> 00:08:50,527
Speaker 2: Is it somewhere you expect there to be shootings, murders?

130
00:08:50,567 --> 00:08:52,647
Speaker 2: You know what sort of areas there's There are lots

131
00:08:52,647 --> 00:08:54,127
Speaker 2: of crime there. What's it like?

132
00:08:54,967 --> 00:08:57,767
Speaker 3: The area and they live in in Alma is just

133
00:08:58,047 --> 00:09:01,087
Speaker 3: very normal neighborhood with normal working class people.

134
00:09:02,127 --> 00:09:03,527
Speaker 4: Not much trouble over there.

135
00:09:04,647 --> 00:09:07,847
Speaker 2: When Paul arrives, there's already red and white tape blocking

136
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:10,567
Speaker 2: the area and police up a tent to cover the body.

137
00:09:11,047 --> 00:09:13,607
Speaker 2: He gets out his notebook and starts to gather the facts.

138
00:09:14,407 --> 00:09:17,887
Speaker 2: The victim is called Ali Mtamad. He's fifty six years

139
00:09:17,887 --> 00:09:20,487
Speaker 2: old and he's an engineer at the state electric company.

140
00:09:21,007 --> 00:09:23,887
Speaker 2: He's got a wife, a son. He's a family man.

141
00:09:24,327 --> 00:09:27,087
Speaker 2: But there isn't much else to go on. The electrician

142
00:09:27,127 --> 00:09:28,847
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to have any connection to crime.

143
00:09:29,687 --> 00:09:34,647
Speaker 3: All the sources I asked, nobody knew who was this Alimodamet.

144
00:09:35,727 --> 00:09:38,127
Speaker 2: To Paul, it just seems to be a random shooting,

145
00:09:38,647 --> 00:09:40,567
Speaker 2: So he heads back to his office and files a

146
00:09:40,607 --> 00:09:44,847
Speaker 2: short story. A few weeks later, his editor asked him

147
00:09:44,847 --> 00:09:47,247
Speaker 2: to write a roundup of the most notable crime stories

148
00:09:47,247 --> 00:09:49,647
Speaker 2: of the last year, and the murder in al Mayor

149
00:09:49,927 --> 00:09:53,207
Speaker 2: doesn't make the cut. Paul goes back to riding around

150
00:09:53,207 --> 00:09:56,807
Speaker 2: on his bike and meeting his sources. But in the

151
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:59,967
Speaker 2: months after, Paul finds that he can't get the Matamid

152
00:10:00,047 --> 00:10:03,527
Speaker 2: case out of his head. That thing when you write

153
00:10:03,567 --> 00:10:06,047
Speaker 2: a story and you have a nagging voice in your head,

154
00:10:06,247 --> 00:10:09,967
Speaker 2: maybe there's something that I'm missing. Paul's covered a lot

155
00:10:09,967 --> 00:10:14,447
Speaker 2: of murders, but this one it seems weird. He can't

156
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:19,647
Speaker 2: shake the feeling that something doesn't quite add up. The

157
00:10:19,687 --> 00:10:22,527
Speaker 2: first thing is the style of the killing. It wasn't

158
00:10:22,527 --> 00:10:25,687
Speaker 2: a sloppy job or a wild act of rage.

159
00:10:25,887 --> 00:10:29,407
Speaker 3: The thing was that one shut through the heads. It's

160
00:10:29,447 --> 00:10:34,607
Speaker 3: not the familiar way of assassinating people. In other assassinations,

161
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:39,687
Speaker 3: automatic rifles are used, many bullets are shut.

162
00:10:39,847 --> 00:10:42,527
Speaker 2: And then there was the motive. One theory is that

163
00:10:42,647 --> 00:10:45,767
Speaker 2: Mtommed was part of some family feud or had argued

164
00:10:45,807 --> 00:10:48,847
Speaker 2: with a friend. Most of the murders, Paul writes about

165
00:10:48,847 --> 00:10:51,487
Speaker 2: that kind of thing, or criminals killing each other over

166
00:10:51,607 --> 00:10:55,807
Speaker 2: money or tough settling scores. But that didn't really fit

167
00:10:55,927 --> 00:10:58,727
Speaker 2: with the matomic case. So there were other theories.

168
00:10:59,447 --> 00:11:03,367
Speaker 3: Oh, maybe electricians so him. Maybe he was in hemp business.

169
00:11:03,767 --> 00:11:06,127
Speaker 3: The hemp people they need illegal electricity.

170
00:11:06,927 --> 00:11:10,247
Speaker 2: Hemp is another name for weed, and some weed grows

171
00:11:10,247 --> 00:11:14,247
Speaker 2: in the Netherlands steel electricity to power their operations. Matammed

172
00:11:14,327 --> 00:11:17,287
Speaker 2: was an electrician. Maybe that was his connection to crime.

173
00:11:18,007 --> 00:11:20,567
Speaker 3: Maybe he was a wrong person. That was an idea.

174
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:25,367
Speaker 2: This seemed like the most plausible explanation, a terrible case

175
00:11:25,407 --> 00:11:30,327
Speaker 2: of mistaken identity. Paul keeps thinking about it as he

176
00:11:30,407 --> 00:11:34,047
Speaker 2: drops into cafes to meet informants about other stories. He

177
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:35,447
Speaker 2: mentions Alimtammad's name.

178
00:11:36,127 --> 00:11:40,327
Speaker 3: Criminals didn't know him, Policemen didn't know him. I tried

179
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:43,007
Speaker 3: to do some research, but I didn't get a clue.

180
00:11:43,047 --> 00:11:46,567
Speaker 2: To be honest, as a reporter, you can have dozens

181
00:11:46,647 --> 00:11:49,887
Speaker 2: of meetings that lead to nothing, but once in a

182
00:11:49,927 --> 00:11:53,687
Speaker 2: while you get lucky. And that's what happens to Paul.

183
00:11:55,127 --> 00:11:57,567
Speaker 2: Out of nowhere, he gets a tip.

184
00:11:58,647 --> 00:12:04,527
Speaker 3: I was talking to some source I knew very well,

185
00:12:05,487 --> 00:12:08,327
Speaker 3: and this source A told me just at the second

186
00:12:08,527 --> 00:12:11,487
Speaker 3: cup of coffee in and he said, well, you remember

187
00:12:11,567 --> 00:12:14,927
Speaker 3: this story of Alimo Damett. You're working on that still, Yes,

188
00:12:15,807 --> 00:12:18,247
Speaker 3: you should go on and go on and dig and dick,

189
00:12:18,367 --> 00:12:22,167
Speaker 3: because there's a very weird, big story behind this murder.

190
00:12:37,327 --> 00:12:40,047
Speaker 2: Paul wasn't the only person thinking about what happened in

191
00:12:40,127 --> 00:12:41,007
Speaker 2: al Mayor that day.

192
00:12:41,887 --> 00:12:47,647
Speaker 5: I remember this, this shooting December fifteenth. Your really nice

193
00:12:47,687 --> 00:12:50,247
Speaker 5: neighbor got guilt. Nobody knows why.

194
00:12:51,487 --> 00:12:55,087
Speaker 2: At the time, Eliam was involved with the local city council.

195
00:12:55,767 --> 00:13:00,167
Speaker 5: So yeah, I remember it was like this mystery for

196
00:13:00,247 --> 00:13:01,887
Speaker 5: people like, well, what happened?

197
00:13:02,887 --> 00:13:06,647
Speaker 2: Uler say. He's this intense guy who locks you into

198
00:13:06,647 --> 00:13:09,967
Speaker 2: his gaze, and he's a sharp dresser. When we meet,

199
00:13:10,047 --> 00:13:13,327
Speaker 2: he's wearing this charcoal suit and a black unbuttoned shirt

200
00:13:13,447 --> 00:13:17,487
Speaker 2: down to his chest. When Alimtammed is murdered, Ulis is

201
00:13:17,527 --> 00:13:21,047
Speaker 2: just getting into local politics. He's a spokesperson for safety

202
00:13:21,047 --> 00:13:23,847
Speaker 2: in public order in our mayor where Alimtammad was killed.

203
00:13:24,487 --> 00:13:29,567
Speaker 5: What was strange in this case there was nothing and

204
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:35,247
Speaker 5: this was fueled by the National police.

205
00:13:36,367 --> 00:13:39,207
Speaker 2: Police appealed on national television for any information that the

206
00:13:39,207 --> 00:13:40,367
Speaker 2: public could give them.

207
00:13:40,967 --> 00:13:43,127
Speaker 5: Have any tips, do you have any suggestions. We put

208
00:13:43,167 --> 00:13:44,287
Speaker 5: out this reward.

209
00:13:44,327 --> 00:13:48,687
Speaker 2: But no one came forward. A year goes by, still nothing.

210
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:52,367
Speaker 5: I thought, this is getting this is getting a bit weird.

211
00:13:52,887 --> 00:13:56,007
Speaker 5: So we don't have any clues to find the shooters.

212
00:13:56,567 --> 00:14:00,087
Speaker 5: There's no information about the circumstances of the of the shooting.

213
00:14:02,127 --> 00:14:05,767
Speaker 2: Ulisse is particularly interested in this case because Alimtomed, it

214
00:14:05,807 --> 00:14:10,127
Speaker 2: turns out, was born in Iran and his own family

215
00:14:10,287 --> 00:14:12,807
Speaker 2: also moved to the Netherlands from Iran around the same

216
00:14:12,807 --> 00:14:14,247
Speaker 2: time that alimtammedd did.

217
00:14:14,727 --> 00:14:19,247
Speaker 5: I'm named after Odysseus, you know, the Greek king, because

218
00:14:19,287 --> 00:14:22,207
Speaker 5: my father was he was reading Odysseus and my father

219
00:14:22,407 --> 00:14:25,167
Speaker 5: was like, okay, I lost my home. I don't know

220
00:14:25,207 --> 00:14:27,447
Speaker 5: where my home will be, but I'm sure this baby

221
00:14:27,487 --> 00:14:28,447
Speaker 5: will find a new home.

222
00:14:30,007 --> 00:14:33,607
Speaker 2: Ulissa's father was a critic of the hardline theocracy imposed

223
00:14:33,607 --> 00:14:36,727
Speaker 2: by the new regime in Iran after the revolution. He

224
00:14:36,807 --> 00:14:39,727
Speaker 2: knew his life might be in danger if he stayed.

225
00:14:40,287 --> 00:14:44,047
Speaker 5: He had to go into hiding very fast. He never

226
00:14:44,127 --> 00:14:46,647
Speaker 5: had the chance to say goodbye to his mother, for example,

227
00:14:46,847 --> 00:14:48,287
Speaker 5: because it was too dangerous.

228
00:14:48,887 --> 00:14:51,847
Speaker 2: First his father moved to Afghanistan, where Ulisse was born,

229
00:14:52,647 --> 00:14:55,127
Speaker 2: and then they moved to the Netherlands, eventually settling in

230
00:14:55,167 --> 00:14:58,447
Speaker 2: al Mayor. Ulisse grew up in the same sleepy suburb

231
00:14:58,447 --> 00:15:00,407
Speaker 2: where Alimtammed lived and died.

232
00:15:01,247 --> 00:15:03,687
Speaker 5: I've been living there for twenty years now. And the

233
00:15:03,727 --> 00:15:06,327
Speaker 5: funny thing is, or the special thing, it also relates

234
00:15:06,367 --> 00:15:11,007
Speaker 5: to my history, you know, like it's a newc the province.

235
00:15:11,607 --> 00:15:14,367
Speaker 5: One of the nicknames is like new land because it's

236
00:15:14,407 --> 00:15:18,527
Speaker 5: built from water. Yeah, and my family came to a

237
00:15:18,567 --> 00:15:21,167
Speaker 5: new land. It started a new life. So yeah, it

238
00:15:21,247 --> 00:15:22,487
Speaker 5: all connects really nicely.

239
00:15:23,727 --> 00:15:27,007
Speaker 2: Ulisses father became a law professor and he kept speaking

240
00:15:27,007 --> 00:15:30,047
Speaker 2: out against the Iranian regime from his new home. But

241
00:15:30,087 --> 00:15:33,167
Speaker 2: there was a cost, and this became a reality when

242
00:15:33,167 --> 00:15:36,487
Speaker 2: the family moved to our Mayor. His father started getting

243
00:15:36,527 --> 00:15:37,367
Speaker 2: serious threats.

244
00:15:38,207 --> 00:15:42,287
Speaker 5: At that time, my father received a massive security protection.

245
00:15:43,727 --> 00:15:48,647
Speaker 5: I was young, You're still focused on things you do

246
00:15:48,767 --> 00:15:52,327
Speaker 5: when you're at that age, you know, playing football, trying

247
00:15:52,327 --> 00:15:55,687
Speaker 5: to enjoy life. But yeah, when you see your dad

248
00:15:56,367 --> 00:16:02,927
Speaker 5: being transported with multiple bodyguards, yeah, of course your life changes.

249
00:16:03,887 --> 00:16:06,407
Speaker 2: So decades later, when an Iranian man is shot in

250
00:16:06,447 --> 00:16:10,487
Speaker 2: his hometown, it gets Ulysses' attention. Even more so when

251
00:16:10,527 --> 00:16:13,927
Speaker 2: police finally share what they've pieced together from CCTV footage,

252
00:16:14,487 --> 00:16:17,247
Speaker 2: it shows that the idea the assassin's made a mistake

253
00:16:17,847 --> 00:16:22,287
Speaker 2: looks less and less plausible. This was a meticulously planned operation.

254
00:16:25,327 --> 00:16:29,287
Speaker 2: The police report is a difficult read. It's a chilling

255
00:16:29,287 --> 00:16:34,687
Speaker 2: account of a cold, premeditated murder planned over weeks, and

256
00:16:34,727 --> 00:16:38,287
Speaker 2: it reveals that the killers made two failed attempts in

257
00:16:38,287 --> 00:16:43,087
Speaker 2: the days before Alie Mtummed was shot. On December eleventh,

258
00:16:43,247 --> 00:16:46,327
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, at around quarter past six in the morning,

259
00:16:47,327 --> 00:16:50,927
Speaker 2: a blue BMW drives slowly down the dark suburban street.

260
00:16:52,407 --> 00:16:55,727
Speaker 2: The driver stops outside one of the houses and turns

261
00:16:55,767 --> 00:17:01,207
Speaker 2: the car's headlights off. Inside, Alie Mtammed is getting started

262
00:17:01,247 --> 00:17:05,087
Speaker 2: with his day. Usually he leaves his house a quarter

263
00:17:05,167 --> 00:17:09,327
Speaker 2: to seven, but today he has a job nearby, so

264
00:17:09,367 --> 00:17:13,087
Speaker 2: he leaves later at eight thirty am. At about eight am,

265
00:17:13,327 --> 00:17:15,767
Speaker 2: the driver of the BMW turns the car back and

266
00:17:15,887 --> 00:17:22,047
Speaker 2: leaves the street. A few days later, Monday, December fourteenth,

267
00:17:22,487 --> 00:17:27,087
Speaker 2: the BMW arrives again at around quarter past six. It's

268
00:17:27,127 --> 00:17:29,807
Speaker 2: a regular work day, and Mohammed walks out of his

269
00:17:29,807 --> 00:17:32,927
Speaker 2: front door a little before seven. A neighbor is also

270
00:17:33,047 --> 00:17:35,687
Speaker 2: leaving their house at the same time, and the driver

271
00:17:35,767 --> 00:17:43,327
Speaker 2: of the BMW spots him and Muhammed and drives off. Tuesday,

272
00:17:43,447 --> 00:17:48,967
Speaker 2: December fifteenth, the BMW appears at six o'clock. Mohammed's wife

273
00:17:49,087 --> 00:17:51,607
Speaker 2: and teenage son are asleep upstairs as he steps out

274
00:17:51,647 --> 00:17:54,807
Speaker 2: of his house and shuts the front door. That is

275
00:17:54,887 --> 00:18:00,687
Speaker 2: dark outside. No neighbors around this morning. As the electrician

276
00:18:00,727 --> 00:18:03,327
Speaker 2: walks towards his van, a man walks up behind him

277
00:18:03,487 --> 00:18:06,327
Speaker 2: and shoots him in the head. Mahammed slumps to the

278
00:18:06,367 --> 00:18:09,527
Speaker 2: ground and the shooter gets back in his BMW car

279
00:18:09,527 --> 00:18:10,127
Speaker 2: speeds off.

280
00:18:14,687 --> 00:18:18,007
Speaker 5: They hit him directly left with the car I think,

281
00:18:18,207 --> 00:18:23,087
Speaker 5: if I remember correctly, BMW five. They went to the

282
00:18:23,127 --> 00:18:27,007
Speaker 5: specific spot in another part of Olmer, burned the car

283
00:18:27,207 --> 00:18:27,727
Speaker 5: and they leave.

284
00:18:28,727 --> 00:18:31,807
Speaker 2: The BMW was found burned out a few miles away

285
00:18:32,327 --> 00:18:34,647
Speaker 2: and witnesses saw two men walking off.

286
00:18:35,367 --> 00:18:39,247
Speaker 5: There's all the signs of professionals in the criminal circuit,

287
00:18:40,167 --> 00:18:42,487
Speaker 5: so that made it even more strange, like, okay, this

288
00:18:42,527 --> 00:18:45,927
Speaker 5: is really professional, and still we don't have any idea

289
00:18:47,127 --> 00:18:48,007
Speaker 5: why who.

290
00:18:50,487 --> 00:18:53,007
Speaker 2: This is the point that I started to see the

291
00:18:53,007 --> 00:18:56,487
Speaker 2: first flicker to realize what a murder in a small

292
00:18:56,567 --> 00:19:00,167
Speaker 2: Dutch town could have to do with the supercartel and

293
00:19:00,287 --> 00:19:03,247
Speaker 2: what that could mean. Because Paul has kept on digging

294
00:19:03,567 --> 00:19:05,927
Speaker 2: and he's made an unbelievable discovery.

295
00:19:06,487 --> 00:19:09,487
Speaker 5: And I remember reading it and I think think it

296
00:19:09,527 --> 00:19:13,767
Speaker 5: was on a sunny Monday morning, and I immediately I knew.

297
00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:16,527
Speaker 5: I felt in all my body, I know, wow, this

298
00:19:16,767 --> 00:19:18,367
Speaker 5: is crazy.

299
00:19:19,647 --> 00:19:23,487
Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, Paul breaks a big story and it's

300
00:19:23,527 --> 00:19:27,167
Speaker 2: not about the murderers, it's about the victim.

301
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:30,767
Speaker 3: I found out that Ali Motamet was not Ali mota Met,

302
00:19:30,887 --> 00:19:35,247
Speaker 3: the electrician. He was an electrician, yes, but he lived

303
00:19:35,287 --> 00:19:38,007
Speaker 3: in Holland with a false identity.

304
00:19:40,007 --> 00:19:45,007
Speaker 2: Ali Matamid was, in reality and assumed identity the electrician

305
00:19:45,007 --> 00:19:48,007
Speaker 2: from our mayor had been living a secret life, one

306
00:19:48,127 --> 00:19:51,167
Speaker 2: so secret that even some members of his own family

307
00:19:51,287 --> 00:19:52,527
Speaker 2: didn't know who he really was.

308
00:19:53,727 --> 00:19:58,127
Speaker 3: Ali Motamet was Mohammed Reza colahis so mandy and when

309
00:19:58,127 --> 00:20:00,767
Speaker 3: he was twenty three years old, he plays the bomb

310
00:20:01,007 --> 00:20:06,727
Speaker 3: which blew up seventy four people of the Islamic Republican

311
00:20:06,767 --> 00:20:07,727
Speaker 3: Party in Iran.

312
00:20:10,087 --> 00:20:15,967
Speaker 5: This happened in my city, quite close to where I live,

313
00:20:17,127 --> 00:20:21,367
Speaker 5: and probably the regime, you know, the whole reason I'm

314
00:20:21,407 --> 00:20:27,087
Speaker 5: in Holland. They were able to find someone who they

315
00:20:27,127 --> 00:20:30,847
Speaker 5: were looking for for like at that time, like thirty

316
00:20:30,887 --> 00:20:36,287
Speaker 5: five years, who was like one of their prime targets

317
00:20:36,327 --> 00:20:41,287
Speaker 5: because they wanted to revenge My dad always wanted me.

318
00:20:41,967 --> 00:20:46,687
Speaker 5: They're dangerous, you know, they found him. These are not

319
00:20:47,167 --> 00:20:49,687
Speaker 5: bedtime stories. This is getting real.

320
00:21:07,287 --> 00:21:11,047
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get a glimpse of something, the edge of

321
00:21:11,087 --> 00:21:13,887
Speaker 2: what seems like it might be a much bigger story,

322
00:21:14,447 --> 00:21:16,967
Speaker 2: and it leads you into a whole new place, a

323
00:21:16,967 --> 00:21:19,807
Speaker 2: place where you're not quite sure what's going on, and

324
00:21:19,847 --> 00:21:23,247
Speaker 2: it's hard to know even where to start. That's where

325
00:21:23,247 --> 00:21:26,447
Speaker 2: Paul finds himself after he learns about Ali Mtummit's past.

326
00:21:27,567 --> 00:21:31,367
Speaker 3: I had no sources at all in Iran. I had

327
00:21:31,407 --> 00:21:34,687
Speaker 3: no sources at all in geopolitical world.

328
00:21:35,967 --> 00:21:38,607
Speaker 2: This clearly isn't a local murder case in a small

329
00:21:38,607 --> 00:21:41,967
Speaker 2: town anymore. Paul has been pulled into what looks like

330
00:21:42,047 --> 00:21:45,847
Speaker 2: a targeted assassination plot in the heart of Europe, but

331
00:21:45,887 --> 00:21:50,727
Speaker 2: he doesn't have any proof, just a strong theory. Ulusa

332
00:21:50,847 --> 00:21:53,647
Speaker 2: is looking for answers too. He posts online about the

333
00:21:53,687 --> 00:21:57,127
Speaker 2: case and wonders does anyone know more about Matammad or

334
00:21:57,287 --> 00:22:01,167
Speaker 2: how the Iranian regime might have found him? And Ulasa's

335
00:22:01,207 --> 00:22:03,287
Speaker 2: posts they catch Paul's attention.

336
00:22:04,167 --> 00:22:08,327
Speaker 5: Paul called me, I saw your questions. Let's talk.

337
00:22:09,087 --> 00:22:12,367
Speaker 3: I broke the story. Ulus Elian and I met in

338
00:22:12,447 --> 00:22:15,967
Speaker 3: our mea, had coffee and we tried to make plans

339
00:22:16,007 --> 00:22:19,207
Speaker 3: to find the missing pieces of the puzzle. How can

340
00:22:19,287 --> 00:22:22,567
Speaker 3: we get more insight in the backgrounds.

341
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:26,647
Speaker 2: Of this Aul? The man his neighbors knew as Alimtomid

342
00:22:26,687 --> 00:22:29,807
Speaker 2: moved to the Netherlands in nineteen eighty five, he wouldn't

343
00:22:29,807 --> 00:22:32,327
Speaker 2: have particularly stood out. It was a time when many

344
00:22:32,327 --> 00:22:36,527
Speaker 2: Iranians were fleeing Iran, just like Ulyssa's father. But Ali

345
00:22:36,567 --> 00:22:40,927
Speaker 2: Mtommid wasn't just fleeing. He was hiding. He was accused

346
00:22:40,927 --> 00:22:45,967
Speaker 2: of carrying out the biggest terrorist attack in modern Iranian history.

347
00:22:46,007 --> 00:22:49,167
Speaker 2: This is a big deal, this bombing in nineteen eighty one.

348
00:22:49,567 --> 00:22:53,567
Speaker 2: It killed a senior Iotola, four cabinet ministers, and reportedly

349
00:22:53,647 --> 00:22:57,847
Speaker 2: dozens of other top Iranian officials. Matamid fled Iran after

350
00:22:57,887 --> 00:23:00,807
Speaker 2: the bombing, but was found guilty in absentia and sentenced

351
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:04,367
Speaker 2: to death. We don't know much about his years in

352
00:23:04,407 --> 00:23:06,927
Speaker 2: the Netherlands, but we do know that he adopted a

353
00:23:06,967 --> 00:23:10,607
Speaker 2: new identity and built a new life. He married a

354
00:23:10,647 --> 00:23:13,567
Speaker 2: woman who was originally from Afghanistan. They had a son,

355
00:23:14,087 --> 00:23:16,487
Speaker 2: and Matammed got a job at the local electric company.

356
00:23:17,727 --> 00:23:21,247
Speaker 2: For years, he led a simple suburban life. He went

357
00:23:21,287 --> 00:23:24,087
Speaker 2: to work at the same time most days. His neighbors

358
00:23:24,127 --> 00:23:27,967
Speaker 2: thought of him as punctual, trustworthy. No one really knew

359
00:23:28,047 --> 00:23:32,047
Speaker 2: much more about him, but secretly, Mahamed knew that the

360
00:23:32,047 --> 00:23:35,167
Speaker 2: Iranian regime was still looking for him, so he was

361
00:23:35,207 --> 00:23:39,887
Speaker 2: incredibly careful. Reportedly, he didn't even tell his wife his

362
00:23:39,967 --> 00:23:43,927
Speaker 2: true identity until a few years before his death, and

363
00:23:43,967 --> 00:23:48,607
Speaker 2: his son had no idea about Mtummed's past. I keep

364
00:23:48,647 --> 00:23:51,927
Speaker 2: thinking about the loneliness and the isolation of someone who's

365
00:23:51,927 --> 00:23:54,287
Speaker 2: bearing this huge secret from the people in their life

366
00:23:54,327 --> 00:23:57,727
Speaker 2: who they're closest to, someone who spent almost his entire

367
00:23:57,807 --> 00:24:00,447
Speaker 2: adulthood trying to stay one step ahead of people he

368
00:24:00,527 --> 00:24:03,887
Speaker 2: knew were trying to kill him. Mahammed was careful to

369
00:24:03,927 --> 00:24:07,567
Speaker 2: avoid his photograph appearing on social media, but not long

370
00:24:07,607 --> 00:24:11,207
Speaker 2: before his murder he seemed to slipped up. A single

371
00:24:11,247 --> 00:24:14,327
Speaker 2: photograph of him went up on Facebook celebrating his teenage

372
00:24:14,327 --> 00:24:19,007
Speaker 2: son's high school graduation, and months later a BMW pulled

373
00:24:19,087 --> 00:24:25,367
Speaker 2: up outside his house early in the morning. So this

374
00:24:25,407 --> 00:24:27,807
Speaker 2: is a story I've been told to look at the

375
00:24:27,887 --> 00:24:31,247
Speaker 2: murder of a man living a secret life, a man

376
00:24:31,287 --> 00:24:35,887
Speaker 2: on the run from a powerful regime. At this point,

377
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:39,127
Speaker 2: I can't see the connection between this murder and the

378
00:24:39,167 --> 00:24:44,447
Speaker 2: Dubai supercartel. But then a few months later, something happens

379
00:24:44,487 --> 00:24:47,127
Speaker 2: that takes us one step closer to understanding how all

380
00:24:47,207 --> 00:24:52,527
Speaker 2: of this works. In April twenty sixteen, two Irish detectives

381
00:24:52,647 --> 00:24:55,887
Speaker 2: arrive at a residential address not far from Dublin City Center.

382
00:24:57,087 --> 00:24:59,167
Speaker 2: They have a search warren because they've heard that an

383
00:24:59,167 --> 00:25:01,807
Speaker 2: apartment in this building is being used as a safehouse

384
00:25:02,047 --> 00:25:06,647
Speaker 2: by Ireland's most powerful and dangerous criminal organization. But inside

385
00:25:06,927 --> 00:25:10,687
Speaker 2: there are no irishmen. Instead, the officers find a short

386
00:25:10,727 --> 00:25:13,727
Speaker 2: man with a large belly who speaks only broken English.

387
00:25:14,727 --> 00:25:17,927
Speaker 2: It's clear the man is rich. He's wearing bright blue

388
00:25:17,967 --> 00:25:22,607
Speaker 2: designer sneakers covered in studs. When the detectives search the flat,

389
00:25:22,647 --> 00:25:26,327
Speaker 2: they find thirteen thousand euros in cash and two Rolex watches.

390
00:25:27,527 --> 00:25:31,527
Speaker 2: What's less clear is his identity. He has two different IDs,

391
00:25:31,927 --> 00:25:35,287
Speaker 2: one Dutch one Belgian, each with a different name.

392
00:25:37,247 --> 00:25:40,327
Speaker 4: I remember the morning on which he was arrested and

393
00:25:40,367 --> 00:25:43,647
Speaker 4: I can tell you nobody knew who he was. Shamus

394
00:25:43,647 --> 00:25:47,287
Speaker 4: Boland is Detective Chief Superintendent in the Irish Police Force.

395
00:25:47,607 --> 00:25:50,967
Speaker 4: His officers raided the apartment that day. He was arrested

396
00:25:51,767 --> 00:25:55,207
Speaker 4: for a possession of false documents and there was no

397
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:57,327
Speaker 4: certainty abode his identity at all.

398
00:25:58,207 --> 00:26:00,487
Speaker 2: The police take him to the station and send his

399
00:26:00,487 --> 00:26:03,967
Speaker 2: fingerprints and photo off to law enforcement agencies around the world.

400
00:26:04,847 --> 00:26:10,087
Speaker 4: It's following his arrest and US issuing a an assistants

401
00:26:10,167 --> 00:26:14,327
Speaker 4: request across Europe that within a number of errors, the

402
00:26:14,807 --> 00:26:17,687
Speaker 4: Dutch police were in touch with us and they identified

403
00:26:17,727 --> 00:26:22,247
Speaker 4: him from the photographs and fingerprints immediately, and senior Dutch

404
00:26:22,287 --> 00:26:25,047
Speaker 4: police officers bordered the plane immediately and flew to Dublin.

405
00:26:26,967 --> 00:26:30,367
Speaker 2: The Dutch police know who the man is, so does

406
00:26:30,407 --> 00:26:30,967
Speaker 2: Paul Vooks.

407
00:26:31,607 --> 00:26:34,887
Speaker 3: He was very well known and notorious in the Amsterdam

408
00:26:34,967 --> 00:26:35,727
Speaker 3: crime scene.

409
00:26:36,487 --> 00:26:39,767
Speaker 2: His name is now for Fassy and Paul calls him

410
00:26:39,767 --> 00:26:44,487
Speaker 2: by his nickname. He's wanted for a string of drug

411
00:26:44,487 --> 00:26:45,367
Speaker 2: related murders.

412
00:26:46,607 --> 00:26:50,847
Speaker 3: He was seen as a guy would do anything for money,

413
00:26:51,167 --> 00:26:54,367
Speaker 3: who would be able to do very serious crimes without

414
00:26:54,447 --> 00:26:55,287
Speaker 3: blinking his eyes.

415
00:26:56,407 --> 00:26:59,567
Speaker 2: Paul doesn't know it yet and noted the police. But

416
00:26:59,687 --> 00:27:03,247
Speaker 2: the man who sent two assassins to murder Alimtamid, it

417
00:27:03,367 --> 00:27:06,967
Speaker 2: was no for not as a murder broker, he can

418
00:27:07,047 --> 00:27:10,247
Speaker 2: arrange the killing of anyone anywhere with just a couple

419
00:27:10,247 --> 00:27:13,927
Speaker 2: of messages sent from his phone. And the people hiding

420
00:27:13,967 --> 00:27:17,927
Speaker 2: the murder broker in their Dublin safehouse, Seamus knows exactly

421
00:27:18,007 --> 00:27:18,607
Speaker 2: who they are.

422
00:27:19,687 --> 00:27:23,007
Speaker 4: That organized crime group has been the primary group for

423
00:27:23,247 --> 00:27:26,527
Speaker 4: the last twenty twenty five years that built the networks

424
00:27:26,567 --> 00:27:30,127
Speaker 4: supplying drugs and firearms of this jurisdiction without a dot.

425
00:27:32,447 --> 00:27:35,647
Speaker 2: That organized crime group, the people who are hiding the

426
00:27:35,727 --> 00:27:38,527
Speaker 2: murder broker in their safe house. They're at the heart

427
00:27:38,567 --> 00:27:42,127
Speaker 2: of the supercartel. They're the men who gathered that day

428
00:27:42,247 --> 00:27:45,727
Speaker 2: for the wedding in the luxury hotel in Dubai. But

429
00:27:45,767 --> 00:27:49,487
Speaker 2: if Ulasa is right, this isn't just a murder, This

430
00:27:49,647 --> 00:27:53,607
Speaker 2: is a state sponsored assassination and it raises a big question.

431
00:27:54,927 --> 00:28:00,087
Speaker 3: What is the link between Nooful, the broker and Irang.

432
00:28:02,127 --> 00:28:05,527
Speaker 2: Why would a hit man working with top cocaine traffickers

433
00:28:06,047 --> 00:28:10,567
Speaker 2: murder someone apparently on behalf of a government And if

434
00:28:10,567 --> 00:28:13,407
Speaker 2: that's what happened, what does that tell us about the

435
00:28:13,447 --> 00:28:19,047
Speaker 2: transformation of international organized crime? To find out, We're going

436
00:28:19,087 --> 00:28:22,527
Speaker 2: to Ireland to talk to someone who's been following the

437
00:28:22,567 --> 00:28:26,127
Speaker 2: family at the heart of the supercartel From the very start.

438
00:28:27,567 --> 00:28:32,287
Speaker 6: You don't know if somebody behind that door has a gun.

439
00:28:32,887 --> 00:28:36,247
Speaker 6: The adrenaline is flowing, you know, your heart is racing.

440
00:28:37,207 --> 00:28:38,367
Speaker 6: Anything could go wrong.
