1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating place Monaco. Indeed, it's a strange place

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: and it has I think higher ratio of police to

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: residence than any other country.

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: In the world.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 3: Michael Waldman is a British filmmaker who made a documentary

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 3: series about Monaco for the BBC.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: What they did was a film in the prison the governor.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: When I asked him about who tended to be the

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: prisoners from where they came, he said quite a lot

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: were from Eastern Europe. He mentioned Hungarians, Serbians, Bulgarians. And

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: when I said, well, why, given the level of policing

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: and the extent of the surveillance, would any criminal come

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: to Monaco to steal? He said, very simple and direct answer,

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: he said, because there's a lot of money here.

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: I'm Natalia Antalava.

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 3: I'm a journalist based in Eastern Europe, and I'm going

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 3: to take you into the world of Serbia's most brazen

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: jewel thieves.

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 5: The most daring and successful diamond thieves in the world.

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 6: Thirty to forty seconds in.

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 5: How they've stolen half a billion dollars worth of valuables.

22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 6: Two well dressed men strolled into an exclusive jewelry store

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 6: in London, and walked out with sixty six million dollars

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 6: in jewels.

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: They called the Pink Panthers.

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 3: They're a loosely connected group of over educated, underemployed, ambitious

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: young people who rose from the ashes of the Yugoslav

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Wars of the nineteen nineties to commit elaborate smash and

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: grab heists all across the globe, often in broad daylight.

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: This is infamous international The Pink Panther.

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: Story, episode seven, The Curious Case of Inspector Mahmerge.

32
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: If ever there was a place designed to appeal to

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: a pink panther, it's Monaco.

34
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 4: Monaco is a tiny.

35
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: Protectorate of France, less than one square mile of Mediterranean paradise.

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: It's known for its casinos.

37
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: Its royalty, its movie stars, the Grand Prix, racing beaches,

38
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: and extremely accommodating tax laws. Grace Kelly made the place

39
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: famous in the movie to Catch a Thief then marry

40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: the real life Prince. The rich flog there, attracted by

41
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: its reputation as a safe haven for their money, As

42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: the writer W. Somerset mom famously said, it's a sunny

43
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: place for shady people.

44
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: A whole lot of things in Monaco are illegal, which

45
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: in other places nobody would notice. There's rules about what

46
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: you could. You know, you can't walk around topless. I'm

47
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: talking about men. There is all sorts of strange rules

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: that try to make the place of clean and decent

49
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: in their view, and of course crime free. It is

50
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: a strange place, and if you go there and look around,

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: you cannot be on any street corner and not see

52
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: that there is a discrete camera or sometimes indiscrete camera

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: or cameras observing your every move. Depends on your position

54
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: as to what you think about a place where you

55
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: can't move without the eyes and the cameras of the

56
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: state looking at you. If you're a very strong civil libertarian,

57
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: you might think this is sort of not desirable. If

58
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: you're a very rich person wanting to flaunt your diamonds

59
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: as you walked from restaurant to apartment, it's rather comforting.

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: The economy is based on people coming and spending money.

61
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: So what they do is attract not only residents who come,

62
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: and they come in many cases because they don't have

63
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: to pay tax in Monaco, but they also then spend money,

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: as do visitors, whether it be in the casino or

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: shops or posh hotels or restaurants or whatever. So what

66
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: they want is people with money to come and spend it.

67
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: All that money, all that flauntic Monaco has an obvious

68
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: appeal for the Pink Panthers.

69
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 4: Dana Kennedy is a national.

70
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: Reporter with the New York Post who spent fifteen years

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: based in Europe. She lived in Nice, just thirteen miles

72
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: from the Monaco border, and she got to know the

73
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: place pretty well.

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 7: I was based in the South of France, and one

75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 7: reason why I know a bit about jewelry heis and

76
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 7: why the Pink Panthers are on my radar, is because

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 7: the South of France is really one of the main

78
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 7: places where the Pink Panthers go to pull off their

79
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 7: incredible heist. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was filmed in the.

80
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: South of France.

81
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 7: It took place there and is all about con artists

82
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 7: and shysters and pulling off a fast one.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 6: It's sort of an.

84
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 7: Epicenter for too much money, too many con men, too

85
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 7: many police looking the other way.

86
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: For Dana Kennedy, Monaco is a strange mix of cultures.

87
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 7: I'll never forget someone who said that Monaco is like

88
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 7: France if it were run by Americans. And what I

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 7: mean by that is when you go over there, you

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 7: don't see a lot of this sort of fussy French

91
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 7: cultural stuff that you might see in France. People still

92
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 7: speak French, of course, and it's beautiful and there's beautiful

93
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 7: food and beautiful architecture, but it's something a little bit different.

94
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 7: It's also one of the world's biggest police states.

95
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 6: Before the rest of the world.

96
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 7: Had CCTV cameras, Monaco had like about one hundred cameras

97
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 7: per capita. There are cameras at every possible inch of Monico.

98
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 4: Monaco even has its own famous curse.

99
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 6: The Principality of Monaco is thought.

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 7: To have had a curse on it for eight hundred

101
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 7: years since the House of Grimaldi came into being basically

102
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 7: around the year eight hundred and that's when pirates from Genoa,

103
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 7: Italy snuck into Monaco disguised as Franciscan monks and took

104
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 7: over the principality. And over the years many tragic things

105
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 7: have happened, especially in modern times.

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 6: The death of Princess Grace.

107
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 7: She drove off a cliff above Monaco in nineteen eighty

108
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 7: two and She's only fifty two years old. Her daughter,

109
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 7: Princess Caroline's husband, Stefano Kosaragi. He was killed in a

110
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 7: boating accident off Monaco, which many people.

111
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 6: Thought was very suspicious.

112
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 7: There had been a lot of larger than life tragedies

113
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 7: coming out of Monaco for decades.

114
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: But despite its beautiful Mediterranean setting, most residents choose to

115
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 3: live in Monaco for more practical reasons.

116
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 7: A lot of the people live there not because they

117
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 7: really love it. They live there because their husbands worked

118
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 7: for gas prom in Moscow, or you know, one of

119
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 7: the biggest banks in England and they are there to

120
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 7: save money on taxes. But it's a crazy, wild, interesting place,

121
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 7: and I grew to love it.

122
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: A crazy wild place, one that presents a tempting target

123
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: for the being anthers, and one where they struck more

124
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 3: than once with their hallmark speed at precision.

125
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: They hit a.

126
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: Jewelry shop, smashing the windows with hammers and making off

127
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: with thirty two watchers worth half a million dollars. They

128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: even took the luxury watch of the wrist of a

129
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: footballer who happened to be in the shop at the time.

130
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 7: In Monaco, the amount that they're pulling in these like

131
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 7: two minute heis is so astonishing.

132
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 6: I think people can't really grasp it.

133
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: It's like magic, which brings us to Inspector Marlberge Andrew

134
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: Malberge was a young detective who had a fast ride

135
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: in the French police. He had recently captured a ring

136
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: of major drug dealers in Marseille. This high profile success

137
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: is what got him hired to head a Monaco's police department.

138
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: Marlberge was handsome and he was confident.

139
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: New Yorker writer David Samuels described him as quote a

140
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: cross between a Hollywood movie star and a car with

141
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: a deep tand strong shoulders.

142
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: And bad teeth.

143
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: The pink panthers had been making moves in the south

144
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: of France, and it was Marlbersh's idea to call an

145
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: Interpol for help. In an interview on Dateline NBC, he

146
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: talks about the wisdom of his decision, especially for a

147
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: place like Monaco.

148
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 8: It's a small territory, we have a lot of police,

149
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 8: we have CCTV all around, and the population has no

150
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 8: fear to call the police. And said, I saw something

151
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 8: that it's not normal.

152
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: Why did you think that, Peter Pol is the right way.

153
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 8: To go because it's the only organization where we can

154
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 8: share all the information about this. By asked him to

155
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 8: fall to organize a meeting between all the countries who

156
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 8: had to know robberies made by the pink Panthers.

157
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 3: Captain erve Connon of the Paris Police collaborated with Marlberghe

158
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: and thought quite highly of them.

159
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 9: He was the very small guys because before the robbery

160
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 9: in Monaco, in fact, there were no international channel about

161
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 9: the ping panthers. And he has created this meeting that

162
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 9: happens every years with all the law enforcement involved.

163
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: In this topic.

164
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Ome.

165
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 9: It was very clever because the other thing it is

166
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 9: from Monaco, Abingerberry is impossible. It is a city where

167
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 9: people are coming because they have a lot of money

168
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 9: and they own safety. If you've got a robberies in Monaco,

169
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 9: it is a danger for the city.

170
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: In fact, for the.

171
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 3: Prestige manager was well aware, as he explained in the

172
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: New Yorker profile and the being panthers in Monoco, we

173
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: cannot let anything happen. And so when Monaco's Prince Albert

174
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: recruits Andrew Marlberge in two thousand and six as his

175
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: director of Public security. He is looking for someone who

176
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: will be able to handle this uniquely damaging proper them

177
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: and Mobaschet fits the profile to perfection.

178
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 7: No American police chief looks anything like.

179
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: This guy, Dana Kennedy, He himself is.

180
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 6: Something out of Central Casting.

181
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 7: If you think of any French gendarmes you might have

182
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 7: seen in the movies, they have a certain style, and

183
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 7: a certain dignity, and a certain a line and a

184
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 7: certain dashing nature to them. He's very French in that

185
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 7: he takes himself extremely seriously, no joking around. He had a.

186
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: Mission to accomplish. He accomplished it in Marseille with.

187
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 7: Drug connection traffickers, and then when Prince Albert called him

188
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 7: in to basically become the Pink Panther connection guy in Monaco.

189
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 6: I mean he rose to the occasion.

190
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: And Malberge's brainchild.

191
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: This Pink Panther task force is a serious response to

192
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: what he knows is a serious issue. Less than a

193
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: year into his appointment, the Pink Panthers struck the Cerebelli

194
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 3: Jewelry store in Monte Carlos Casino Square, despite the presence

195
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: of some four hundred close circuit cameras.

196
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 6: It's a huge embarrassment to Monaco.

197
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 7: I just finished discussing how much of really a police

198
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 7: security state Monico is, how the surveillance is unbelievable there,

199
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 7: so the fact that the Pink Panthers could pull off

200
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 7: a heist there under the nose of Prince Albert and

201
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 7: people who paid millions to live in a place they

202
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 7: think is secure.

203
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 6: They had to have this task force.

204
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 7: So the citizenry wouldn't, you know, basically rise up in arms.

205
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 7: I mean, you pay a premium to live in Monaco

206
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 7: for number one, so you don't have to pay taxes,

207
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 7: and number two so you can feel safe. So it's

208
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 7: highly embarrassing to have these Eastern European thieves just walk.

209
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 6: In and steal jewels.

210
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 4: So they had.

211
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 7: To do something to make people think that they're really

212
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 7: doing something, and I think he obviously was.

213
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 6: He was a top level guy.

214
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: And for a while. Andrew Marlberge is a smashing success.

215
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: In two thousand and eight, he manages to arrest Pink

216
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: Panther Dousko Poznan. A car happens to run over Dushko's

217
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: foot while he's standing on a Monaco street corner. He

218
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: is taken to the hospital recognized from an interpal red

219
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: notice photo and summarily arrested.

220
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: The arrest sparks speculation that Malberge.

221
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: Had staged the accident to sweep the panther off the

222
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: streets and into custody. Malberge himself denied it, but it

223
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: was suspiciously bad luck for duschcom. In two thousand and nine,

224
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: Marlberge helps track down another pink Panther who had dropped

225
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: that luxury watch store in Monaco two years earlier. They

226
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: trace him to the Sketchy Hotel in Paris, where Detective

227
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: erve Konon makes the arrest. That same year, Marlberge's team

228
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: catches three other pink Panthers in the parking lot of

229
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: a Monaco casino the night before their plan jewelheist. This

230
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: is all welcome news for the people of Monaco. Not

231
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: to mention Marlberge's boss, the Prince, but chief Inspector. Under

232
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: Malbersjet would end up making some dangerous enemies and some

233
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: dangerous friends.

234
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 7: What happened to Andre Milberger is a sort of quintessential

235
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 7: Monico's story.

236
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: Incidentally, Dana Kennedy pronounces his name Mulberger. Others he's the

237
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,479
Speaker 3: French Malberjet.

238
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 7: On one hand, Mulberger was a good guy and that

239
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 7: he got down on the Pink Panthers and was well

240
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 7: known for making arrest there.

241
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 6: But the fact that.

242
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 7: He had Russian ties is absolutely unfortunately or fortunately completely

243
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 7: business as usual in Monaco Russians.

244
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: The plot thickens.

245
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 6: There are a ton of Russians in Monaco.

246
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,479
Speaker 7: They have enormous influence.

247
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 6: There are billionaires.

248
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 7: From Russia who have Monaco residency because obviously they don't

249
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 7: pay income taxes.

250
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: Marlbersham defended his socializing with the wealthy Russians of monacom

251
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: in an interview with French Vanity Fair, saying, I quote, yes,

252
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: I hang out with Russians, So is it forbidden they're rich?

253
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: Does that necessarily make the mafia? They're men of my generation.

254
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: They have studied in the United States, in London or Switzerland.

255
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: Why should we stop talking to them? End of quote.

256
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: But Marlberge's defensive stance tells us that he saw how

257
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: these friendships might have an effect on his carefully honed

258
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: sterling reputation as an incorruptible cop.

259
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 7: The problem is the fact that he had.

260
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 6: A lot of suspect.

261
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 7: Russian and Eastern European friends himself, means that we don't

262
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 7: know if he was in Raley guy or what I mean.

263
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 7: Everything is very murky in Monaco for a reason. There's

264
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 7: way too much money and way too many people who

265
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 7: got their money in mysterious ways for anybody to ever

266
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 7: totally see what's going on, and the amount of skullduggery

267
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 7: and corruption is kind of off the charts there. Prince Albert,

268
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 7: since the death of his father in two thousand and five,

269
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 7: has really tried to clean up Monico's image, and he

270
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 7: succeeded in many ways.

271
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 6: But it's still true.

272
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 7: It's still a funny place for shady people, and Neilburger

273
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 7: is right up there with.

274
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 6: The shady people.

275
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 7: And the fact that he had Russian friends and he

276
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 7: had a Russian girlfriend is kind of part for the course.

277
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 6: It's not unusual.

278
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 7: What would be unusual if you had a Monaco cop

279
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 7: with no ties.

280
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 6: However, to that world.

281
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: Okay, so Mobajet made friends with some Russians, but he

282
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: also made one series enemy.

283
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 5: My name is Robert Earinger, and I have a forty

284
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 5: five year background in what I call the information business,

285
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 5: and that encompasses journalism as well as intelligence.

286
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: The recording you'll hear of our interview with Robert Erainger

287
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: is not of the highest quality. He insisted on being

288
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: recorded only over the phone.

289
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: I was an investigative reporter for a British newspapers through

290
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: the nineteen eighties. In the nineteen nineties I did private

291
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: sector intelligence, and in two thousand and two I was

292
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: retained by Prince Albert Monaco to be his intelligence advisor.

293
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: At that time, the Prince was the hereditary Prince, meaning

294
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 5: he wasn't the ruling Prince yet. In two thousand and

295
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 5: five he became the ruling Prince when his father, Prince Rani,

296
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 5: had passed, and at that time I created for Albert

297
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 5: the unofficial Monaco Intelligence Service.

298
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: We should say from the outset that Erringer, who once

299
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: had a close connection to Prince Albert, has been on

300
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: the outs with him ever since he left Monaco.

301
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: In two thousand and seven.

302
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: That he sued the Prince for breach of contract, claiming

303
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: that he was not paid for his final invoice, and

304
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 3: Prince Albert filed a number of lawsuits against Erringer for

305
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: defamation in his gossipy blog posts. The subject of one

306
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 3: of those lawsuits was actually Andra Marlbershe. But let's go

307
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: back to a happier time in the relationship between Robert

308
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: Erainger and Prince Albert of Monaco.

309
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 5: We got to know each other in the late nineteen

310
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 5: eighties when I lived in Monaco for a couple of years.

311
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 5: Thereafter I moved to Washington and he got involved in

312
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 5: intelligence work.

313
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: I let him know what I was doing.

314
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 5: He was rather intrigued, and when he had a question

315
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 5: one day about a particular Russian who wanted to invest

316
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 5: in Monico's football team, he asked me to investigate the

317
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 5: background of that individual. I did discover that he was dirty.

318
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: I then pointed out to Albert that the Russian influence

319
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: in the south of France was deafening, and that it

320
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 5: was expected the Russian influence would expand and try to

321
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 5: move into Monaco.

322
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: Its two president inclusion, had indeed.

323
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: Fixated on Monaco as a fabulous place from which to

324
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 5: lauder money and conduct intelligence operations.

325
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: Russian oligarchs were looking for new places to park their money,

326
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: and Monaco, with its friendly tax laws, seemed perfect. Erringer

327
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 3: claims he predicted that this influx of Russian money would

328
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 3: bring more crime and corruption to Monoco, and off the

329
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: back of that, he says, he sold his services to

330
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: Prince Albert.

331
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 5: In June two thousand and two. He retained meaning to

332
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 5: be his intelligence advisor and keep an eye on the

333
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 5: Russians who were trying to muscle their way into Monaco,

334
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 5: along with other seating characters who were attempting to penetrate.

335
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 2: The royal court. That is, Albert forman.

336
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: Erranger was in the position to run his own show

337
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 3: until Andrew Marlberger arrived.

338
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 5: Andre Muhlberget arrived from France at a very opportune moment.

339
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: If I met him soon after.

340
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 5: He became police chief, it should have been a time

341
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 5: when he could have done very very well there, because

342
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 5: by that time, my service to Albert and the unofficial

343
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: intelligence service we created had put together a blueprint of

344
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 5: everything that was going wrong in Monaco with regard to

345
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 5: money laundering and corruption and Russian influence. I think it

346
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: bothered Malberge quite a bit of an American was running

347
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: Albert's intelligence when he felt that it should be his role,

348
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 5: and he was jealous of the relationship I had with

349
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: Albert and wanted that for himself.

350
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: So although he pretended to.

351
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 5: Be a friend and supporter of.

352
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: What we were doing.

353
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 5: It later appeared to me that he was working behind

354
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: the scenes against us.

355
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: Robert Eranger thought he was suddenly in a power struggle.

356
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 5: Mouhlberge tried to make that look like I was stepping

357
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 5: on the toes of his police department and feeling there information,

358
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 5: so he would do things. I'd go to Albert and

359
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 5: complain that I was taking information out of their files

360
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 5: and calling it our own, which was actually quite incorrect.

361
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: But Erringer doesn't think Marlbajet started out corrupt, if in

362
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: fact he was ever corrupted.

363
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: In my opinion, he came to Monaco with good intentions,

364
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 5: at least that's the feeling I had when I first

365
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: met him, and I think he actually wanted to act

366
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 5: on some of the information. But I believe he got

367
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: neutered by the powers that be in Monaco, the ministers,

368
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 5: especially the chief judicial officer, who was terribly corrupt himself.

369
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: Rangers says these Monaco officials warned Marlbergjet to back off,

370
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: to stop his investigations.

371
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 5: In our last meeting, he seemed rather upset me. He said,

372
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 5: they want me only to direct traffic.

373
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: And so I think at some.

374
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 5: Stage, he thought, well, obviously I can't investigate crime and

375
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 5: they don't want me to, so I might as well

376
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 5: just become part of it.

377
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: And I believe that that's exactly what happened.

378
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 4: Eventually.

379
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 3: Chief Inspector Marlberje did make friends with some Russians, but

380
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: it was his relationship with a former beauty queen from

381
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 3: Belarus that would be his downfall.

382
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you have to talk about the circumstances under

383
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: which he had to leave his job as police chief.

384
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 5: He did not resign. He was fired after it was

385
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: exposed that he had a relationship with a beauty queen

386
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 5: from Belarus and had been discovered to have been coboarding

387
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 5: with her on a boat, and those photographs came out.

388
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: He was married.

389
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: He was disgraced when Ranger says it was exposed regarding

390
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: Marlbach's affair with the beauty queen and that the quote

391
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 3: photos came out, What he means is that he Ranger

392
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: posted the photos of Marlberje on vacation with a woman

393
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: on his blog and created a scandal that consumed Monaco

394
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: and much of Europe. The photos, he says, were sent

395
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: to him by some unnamed source.

396
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: He tried to save his job. He went to see

397
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 2: Prince Albert and couldn't do it.

398
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: Prince Albert did not take the scandal well.

399
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: Malbergem was informed that he had to find an elegant

400
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: way to resign. An official press release announced his departure,

401
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: saying he was starting a new career in.

402
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 4: The private sector.

403
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: In late June twenty thirteen, Malbergem meets some friends at

404
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: Camp Dye, a popular beach just west of Monaco.

405
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 7: I know where he was because I've been there myself.

406
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: It's the one town over for Monica, one of the

407
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 7: most gorgeous beaches in that area of the French and

408
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 7: Monica Riviera. It's kind of a little hidden gem. The

409
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 7: locals know it, tourists don't know it, which makes it

410
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 7: all bit better. And he was there for lunch, and

411
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 7: he was very tight with certain Russians. He had Russian friends,

412
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 7: he had a Russian girlfriend, and there was a yacht

413
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 7: that some of his Russian friends were on.

414
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 6: And I don't know if he was dared to go

415
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 6: out swim to the yacht or not, because people do

416
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 6: that a lot.

417
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: He's with this group of Russians. They go to a

418
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: lunch spot and cap Die. I've been there. I know

419
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: how it works. You park your boat out in the

420
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: water and then you shuttle in.

421
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 5: He has a long three hour lunch in which he's

422
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 5: applied with booze.

423
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: They know what a mancho guy he is.

424
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 5: Aaron Aja shim you can't swim out to that boat,

425
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 5: and moul Briget, being an arrogant prick full of bravado,

426
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: does sho.

427
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 7: I mean, everybody travels by yacht in this area, and

428
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 7: it's really typical to be on a yacht and pull

429
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 7: up a certain place for lunch.

430
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 6: I don't know how.

431
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 7: Far the boat was, but it's not unusual to go

432
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 7: swim out to a boat.

433
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 6: It happens all the time. But this time when he

434
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 6: was swimming out to the boat.

435
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 7: This high level, prestigious, just retired police investigator was swimming

436
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 7: out to me his friends on the yacht, and somehow

437
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 7: another boat came by cut him off and he was

438
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 7: cut by the propeller and killed.

439
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 6: I can't imagine.

440
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 7: A more hideous but yet in some ways fitting death

441
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 7: for someone who was as powerful as this guy really

442
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 7: was in Monaco. I mean, he had this incredible career,

443
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 7: first in Marseille, French connection drug trafficking copp in Marseille.

444
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 7: Then he's brought to Monaco to run the Pink Panther

445
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 7: task Force. It's Prince Albert himself who appoints him, and

446
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 7: he does a bang up job. And just after he

447
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 7: retired from this incredible career, he met with a horrible

448
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 7: and grisly death.

449
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: I think he may have promised things to certain Russians

450
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 5: that he could no longer deliver. In my opinion, he

451
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 5: was murdered by Russians. I don't know which Russians, so

452
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 5: I believe the whole thing was set up and that

453
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 5: when he swam out to the boat, they purposely backed

454
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 5: into him and he was murdered. Is it because he

455
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: was blackmailing certain Russians with information that he had possession

456
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: of from his job as police chief.

457
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: I think that's one possibility.

458
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 5: Another is that he had made deals with Russians that

459
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 5: he could no longer deliver on it because he was

460
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 5: no longer police chief and they wanted payback.

461
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 7: So as you could just picture this, this big, strong

462
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 7: French police investigator swimming through the waves to meet this yacht,

463
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 7: to meet his friends, maybe have a drink with.

464
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 6: Them on their yacht.

465
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 7: He's cut down by a boat and the propeller is

466
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 7: thought to have slice the back of his head and

467
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 7: almost severed.

468
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 6: One of his legs.

469
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 7: I mean, you can't even a matt You couldn't write

470
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 7: the script for the death of the man who took

471
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 7: on the pink Panthers in the South of France.

472
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: Investigators could never confirm whether another boat struck Malberge or

473
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 3: of the yacht he was swimming to somehow backed into him.

474
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: Whatever the truth behind event, it was a shocking end

475
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 3: to Inspector Malberge.

476
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 7: There are a lot of incredibly crazy stories that happen

477
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 7: in Monaco. Monaco and the South of France are run

478
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 7: on myth, They're run on fantasy.

479
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 6: The local press.

480
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 7: Is really controlled by the local powers, and they're not

481
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 7: going to spend too much time looking into any of this.

482
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 6: They don't want people to get too deep into the

483
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 6: dark side.

484
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 7: But the dark side of Monaco is always there, and

485
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 7: it has been there for centuries. So this poor police

486
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 7: chief's downfall in many ways, people see as just another

487
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 7: side of the dark side of Monaco.

488
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: Andra Malberje may have gotten on the wrong side of

489
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: the wrong people and pay the price, but his pursuit

490
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 3: of the Ping Panthers had proven highly effective. Dushko Poznan,

491
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: one of the members of the Dubai team, arrested, three

492
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: other Ping Panthers and an aborted highest of a Monaco

493
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 3: casino arrested, and Milan Lipuya arrested for the Liechtenstein job

494
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: and the highst at the Waffe Mall. Thanks to Marlberje's

495
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: efforts to involve inter Paul, Milan would face justice, even

496
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: if Malberje would face a grisly and on a beautiful

497
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 3: beach just.

498
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 4: West of Monaco.

499
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: Coming up next on Infamous International, the Pink Panthers story.

500
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 6: Yepuya trying to live a quiet life.

501
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: Let's say, after what happened in Dubai, he got married,

502
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: he got a dog, he got another dog for his

503
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: mom and sister, the.

504
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 4: Return of the Pink Panther Milan le Poya.

505
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 8: These guys were linked some other revenue, and they understood

506
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 8: now it's time to move to Cocainsmith.

507
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: The criminal world of Niche is changing and things are

508
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: getting dangerous.

509
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: Organizing is very similar to organizing a murder as well.

510
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: And the Pink Panthers discover how hard it is to

511
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: keep your hands clean in a dirty world of international crime.

512
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 9: They got involved in this open ward that flipped the

513
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 9: whole Balkan underworld.

514
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:44,240
