Gold Mafia - Episode 3 - El Dorado I Al Jazeera Investigations

Enter the Gold Mafia’s headquarters in Dubai, preferred destination of the world’s dirty gold. As the rival mafia gangs compete to launder money for the I-Unit’s undercover team, we learn why gold is the perfect vessel to hide and move criminal wealth.
One of Zimbabwe’s top diplomats, Ambassador Uebert Angel, is brokering a meeting between undercover reporters and President Emmerson Mnangagwa. This meeting will secure the deal to launder $1.2 billion of dirty cash through gold and investments in Zimbabwe. But first, the Ambassador needs to be paid.
Gold Mafia, a four-part series by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit looks at how society’s obsession with gold underwrites a global shadow economy. Investigators obtain the blueprints of money laundering operations that service southern Africa’s economic and political elite. And the investigation leads to the highest offices of state.

Am Kenyan and I have been following keenly and I can tell you if you want to escape wrath in Africa, hide in religion. Kamlesh Patni fooled us by starting a church and later vanished until your expose, where he has resurfaced.

Watching criminals use God as a cover for their corruption and sin is sad, disgusting and infuriating. I feel embarrassed watching them. How can you do something like that?

Prophets of dooom, they so often use God as a cover..... and I bet they get the people I congregation to pay tithing

For anyone who might wonder what kind of real world harm these gold mafias end up causing, just look at what's happening in Sudan right now. A big part of the fight there is over which warlord gets to control the Sudanese gold being that gets sent to Dubai.

If Mnangagwa spends $240M on Zimbabwe election campaign, questions have to be raised as to how he got that amount of money. It’s safe to say that he’s a billionaire

Never take a number like that, so loosely given out, at face value.

And ohh my goodness! The rabbit hole gets much deeper than we thought. It's so painful to see and know. I hope now, the rest of the world can understand why Zimbabweans are all over the world and at times treated like scums of the earth. Home has become inhabitable. 😢

Seeing fellow brothers and sisters starve while politicians live it up through corruption is truly heart breaking, Africa, Africans have the potential to live a very good life but our leaders are selfish

[@jimmycricket5366]

Greed is a most terrible evil and always ends in misery, even for the greedy. Look at how miserable Robert mugabe was in his last few years, horrible. It always catches up with you unless you truly repent.

[@gregcombrink1626]

If it wasn't these particular people in this video it would be others. In Africa in particular (but not only here) corruption is endemic. I am of the opinion that many of the people complaining here would actually do the same without batting an eyelid if they got the opportunity. And most politicians become greedy and drive the process... they will find other dealers to work with had these particular people not been available.
