: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.
