Anthony Zimmer

:01:06

The network headed by Anthony Zimmer

:01:08

laundered huge sums of money.

:01:11

perfectly legally.

:01:13

He used various methods.

:01:15

The most brilliant was
the phony lawsuit.

:01:18

Phony lawsuit?

:01:19

Imagine you have 15 milion
in dirty money frozen

:01:23

in a tax heaven like Bermuda.

:01:25

Zimmer's phony lawsuit gets it back

:01:28

into France entirely legally.

:02:03

Good afternoon.
What would you like?

:02:05

No, I'm waiting for someone.

:02:07

You just need two companies.

:02:12

The first in Bermuda,
the second in France.

:02:15

Your French company

:02:17

files a suit against
the Bermuda company.

:02:19

It claims it hasn't delivered
a major order,

:02:23

like tissues for example.

:02:26

To resolve their "differences",

:02:29

the companies go
to an international tribunal.

:02:32

The Bermuda company is found guilty,

:02:35

and the French company
receives sizeable damages.

:02:40

The money goes out
of one pocket and into another.

:02:43

But now it's legal.

:02:45

The man is briliant.

:02:46

He's a criminal who makes
a fortune smuggling drugs.

:02:50

What do you consider a fortune?

:02:52

Tens of milions of euros.
