Dubai=gangsters paradise
Fascinating insight for those of us whose worst crime is to do 34 in a 30mph speed limit. Still, all those devout religious people in Dubai will do the right thing. It can't all be about money, can it? 🤔

It may not be one billion. Almost every criminal net worth or revenue is exaggerated by police, government and journalists. It's said by experts the Ndrangheta revenue is exaggerated by about X3. If the police estimate one billion its probably 300 million or so. Edit I may be wrong of course. I don't know one way or the other lol.

You are correct. Three times is about an accurate figure in many cases. However usually the media will have this figure while the judicial system will go on what they know and what they can extrapolate from intel evidence etc

Trump was surely seen as a possible bribery candidate and a chance to buy an umbrella against the storm that is the DEA. I’m sure the obviously corrupt Dubai regime would have not only ‘facilitated’ this but given a glowing character reference.

🤣🤣. A $5m bounty by the Feds and no criminal record. That’s a fairly neat trick, isn’t it??. It’s absolutely true and always has been that your days are numbered when the Feds are after you. Everyone goes down eventually. Fair or foul. No one has ever escaped from the Feds. Don’t matter if it’s going to take days or weeks or months or years. The days are numbered. Just like ol bin Laden, he could be buried at sea in the middle of the night. Feds don’t care. Doubt CK and DK ever get to have their day in court. They running because they know what’s coming.

Your doing yourself a disservice by not taking the time to produce this in a video fornat. Theres a lot of channels doing investigative reporting on criminal networks like this with interviews from knowledgeable professionals, but have a visual documentary to watch alongside audio.
