Aljazeera’s Investigative Unit unravels a high-stakes international plot hatched by powerful Eastern European oligarchs to make millions of dollars from a crooked deal. According to one Ukrainian analyst: “It sounds like an agreement between criminal bosses. You can sign it with your blood.”
The scheme involves using a web of offshore companies and international lawyers to raid US$160 million dollars under the noses of the authorities.
The money is effectively being stolen for a second time… the funds were initially frozen by Ukraine’s courts after its former president, Viktor Yanukovych, was discovered to have emptied the country’s treasury.
The Oligarchs include an exiled gas billionaire guarded by Russian special forces, a Moscow property magnate and an Olympic show jumper on the run from Ukrainian authorities.
The investigation shines light on the ever shifting battle between the oligarchs and global financial regulators.

#AlJazeeraEnglish #TheOligarchs #AlJazeeraInvestigations
But many of the people being interviewed are also corrupt. This entire video is about the coup government trying to make it seems as if it’s only the people before them is corrupt.
@7:15 “See how oligarchs do business. Often with the unwitting assistance of western banks.” Oh come on, you surely aren’t trying to convince anyone of that. Panama Papers, anyone?
A phenomenon us poor folk like to call Eat the Rich is on it’s way. Look for it!
This video has aged well
“Unwitting assistance of western banks” what a joke. All the banks are in on it and more. Now Zelensky the USA and other have been sending him $billion cheques, so he and his mates have been earning and killing.
Bolsevich PROPAGANDA
Comunist criminals thieves
Oh people don’t be fooled again. There are western oligarchs behind your so-called revolution. Out of the frying pan into the fire.
London is built on blood stolen money from the world…all corrupt people flies and settles in london as london Grant’s them visas ..by taking their dirty money in
Didn’t take a single note on this vid. It said, “Guess what: There’s corrupt people.” Okay. Funner to watch cars rust.
Al Jazeera missed the point: The Verkovna Radha is corrupt, and run by oligarchs. Corruption spreads out from the Radha itself, not from the presidents. They are ALL corrupt. Until this is covered by media and revealed, the bleeding of the ukrainian people will not stop.
russia gangster sick animal
I and my fellow oligarchs disliked this video
Why no sanctions on f..n corrupt city country called Cyprus???
Sanction southern Cyprus
Because of Putin’s regime and his war with Ukraine, killing countless children , Mother’s and elderly , Putin needs to be taken out.
Many people would not be bothered if Putin was captured, tried for War crimes and executed Saddam Hussein style.
Al jazeera telling about Oligarchs is the most Hypocritic thing I have seen in a while, the al Jazeera is funded and run by qatar government, which itself is a dictatorship and imports labour from poor countries like India, Pakistan , Bangladesh,and phillipines and exploits them to such a point that it does not even pay the labourers their money, and they desperately want to leave qatar and go back to their home country
12:54 he met Trump at a horse show..Dont imply Trump has russian collusion because he sponsors events…poor journalism
When i heard “British Anti-corruption agency” I just shut down the video.
De seguro es una excelente investigación, pero si también las doblan al español sería mucho mejor. Gracias.
and then the West put their ‘actor puppet’ to be the next oligarch for the demonrats of America and CIA/NATO to turn the country into a sewer and eventually it will take on the project of Heavenly Jerusalem….the mafia mobs competing against each other.
Aha, when about an investigation about the actual Ukrainian mafia ruled by Zelenski – a mediocre B list actor ruled by Washington characters who stole more than 1,5 billions $??? And than created a war to suck even more money from the West! A mediocre puppet who owns a 1/4 billion € mansion in St.Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera(among others) from stolen money-sorry, “acting”- Hollywood A list actors would be jealous on Ukrainian actors wages🙄
another propaganda by the AL JAZEERA FOR UKRAINE, GO FIGURE. IN 2014, VICTORIA NYLAND ALONG WITH THE US GOVERNMENT OVERTHREW DEMOCRATIC ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE AND PLACED THE US PUPPET IN UKRAINE JUST LIKE THE US DID BEFORE IN IRAN AND CHILE, ONLY BECAUSE PEOPLE ACTUALLY VOTED FOR SOMEONE THEY WANTED. THE US WANTS TO TALK ABOUT HER FAKE AND S DEMOCRACY? THE US IS LAUGHABLE AND THE MOST CORRUPT AND NOTORIOUS STATE TERRORIST NATION ON EARTH!
Russian and Ukrainian Oligarchs have offshored 1.5 trillion dollars and all of the dirty money washed and dried to make it legal by western merchant bankers. The west could clean itself up but doesn’t want to because it is profitable to do so, for example for hiding 12 million dollars into a British bank a 60000 dollar fee will spin, wash and dry the money clean in unamed individuals.
The irony is so rich here. To think I’m 2022 the so called civilized world is supporting Ukraine.
Please follow up, given these corrupt Russian individuals have laid the path to WW3.
ok now do the oligarchs of America and England ! This is standard for even normal business people setup assets in trust holdings. Ukraine is no democracy
The Biden family is probably part of it🤔
And we keep blaming the Devil. When even the devil wish to learn from we humans how to do Evil.
Why didn’t he touch on the Biden family dirty deals in the Ukraine?
Теперь понятно, почему Хантер Байден так легко зарабатывал деньги в Украине. И почему это никого не встревожило, и его никто не остановил. Это было слишком обычное ординарное дело. Всего лишь ещё один коррупционер в огромной толпе других коррупционеров и воров.
London, as usual, loves taking all the dirty money. London has zero morals – anything for lucre.
oligatch term used since 1600
Examples, over and over and over again. Materialistic life promised by saithan.
I’m confused why it’s corruption when anyone but the west profits from gas lol
Next the IRISH “government ” fianna fail and fine Gael. A d get the real PATRIOTS in to save our country and stop people dying unnecessarily at home and on hospital trolleys. Tiochaidh ar lá.
Kyiv please…
Power equals corruption ♥️
The Ukrainian people are the same as ALL the people’s of the world….🤡s in a Circus, ran by the rich politicians WE PUT IN POWER. !!!. .. They mention Trump , but no mention of The BIDEN Clan and Americans and British using Ukraine as a Dirty Laundry.
I thought this was about American oligarchs who FAR worse than the Russian oligarchs
Ukraine are stupid never will be better
Actually yes , as seen
“A result of the Russian privatization” this privatization thing seems like a real bad idea. I hope it never takes hold in America. 😅
This crack down on corruption looks way more like secret police busting heads and extorting money than it looks like anti-corruption.
The definition of anti-corruption is American sponsored corruption.
Ukrainians are corrupt liars.
2014 when Putin make mistake, now he is fighting the war.
I have news they still around 😅
Earth is Heaven stop tripping lil b
IS GOOD THAT SOMEONE START TO EXSPOSE THESE THINGS.
Ukraine investigators, be strong as for sure you’ll succeed!!!
Excellent example of J. ish elites. Sometimes the oligarchs are called “ Russian Mafia” that’s more acceptable than the truth : J -ish organized crime, J ish nepotism, J ish supremacy or privilege.
And British oligarchs robbed our Greek bank in Cyprus. Even to day to Brits and Truks still try to kill Greeks and steal our land and homes in Cyprus.
Good, but please lets not pretend Western oligarchs are any better. They all have a long history of exploitation, manipulation and abuse of power. Employees need shares, that’s all there is to it.
” PALESTINIANS”- ”STOLE”- ”THE LAND OF ISRAEL” – Just Like : THE BABYLONIANS, THE GREEKS, THE ROMANS, THE CRUSADERS, THE ASSYRIANS, THE OTTOMANS, and THE BRITISH !
¿Y no hay oligarcas norteamericanos?
All are Criminals!
Revolution or coup? Looking back, it’s more coupe.
This is Globalist propaganda, these mafias are in the west as well and linked to leaders like the Bushes, Clinton’s Obama’s, Biden’s yet this doco brings up only Trump with zero evidence he has anything to do with this docos corruption – Zelenski is corrupt, Ukraine is corrupt, Biden is corrupt, America is corrupt, the UK is corrupt and on and on and on.
The effect of high taxes I guess. Maybe it’s time for a reform?
As usual you have produced yet another eye-opening program into the lives of the stratosphere rich. However, after about 5 minutes it was too much, I was so angry I switched off and took the dog for a walk.
A short time ago Mr Navalny posted a picture of Putin’s (hidden from the publics gaze) country dacha (which sent me off on another dog walk) that blows the mind.
The French revolution happened because of the excesses of the King and his courtiers and the uber-rich upper classes which led to a wholesale slaughter of the upper crust and could so happen again because the chasm between the have’s and the have-nots is so vast.
all nice people
It must always be kept in mind that Al Jazeera is not what it pretends to be.
Al Jazeera, and indeed the entire “nation” of Qatar are merely outward manifestations and tools of the hidden world of the American and British Intelligence Elite (G2, CIA, MI5, MI6, etc etc). Not the ground-level agents of course, but the ruling elite.
They have friends, or rather accomplices, in the government and the military.
But they also have close friends among the oligarchs and criminals of the world too, including the criminals in their own country and those in their enemy’s countries. Their world is not dominated by politicians at all, quite the contrary, they buy and sell politicians.
Everything they expose here may well be true, but it is not the full truth. If they ever use the truth at all it is only to divert attention away from other lies.
Notice that Ukraine has been one of their corruption playgrounds for decades. But now they find it to their advantage to pretend Ukraine is a cradle of liberty.
It isn’t.

Russia chose not the high road when oligarchs and organized crime became Putin’s biggest supporters.
If you live in America & you want real truthful news. You have to go get it from other parts of the world. I’m called a conspiracy theorist, & I wear that name proudly. Because many of the conspiracy theories because conspiracy facts. And I know many more will.
It will never catch anyone bigger. It’s only to show “see we’re fight corruption.”of course here we are 2023, Ukraine has gotten billions of US taxpayer money. Hunters laptop has proven true, like we didn’t know. So yeah 5he American coup in 2014 is because other oligarchs wanted a piece of the Ukrainian pie. And the Biden crime family is the only 1 being sacrificed for it.
Al jazeera is the biggest mafia it self
The most brazen thing in this video clip is that while showing some thieves, those who were associated with the previous thief, the President of Ukraine, supported by Russian pack of thieves with Putin on the top, the authors are silent about something else. The new president of Ukraine, brought to power now by other oligarchs, is not supported by Putin and his gang of thieves, but he is supported in the West. I don’t think that Al Jazeera, bought by the Americans, will tell us today how much has been stolen and will be stolen from the Ukrainian treasury by the new government and its entourage. I’m sure of one thing, the stolen money will never remain in Ukraine, but will settle in Western banks as before, and only the most naive people will not understand why these thieves live quietly in the West spending the stolen money.
Freedom for Palestine and Gaza and Kashmir und Turkestan and Africa not just Ukraine
At 31:45 the voice actor is Jason Segel and don’t tell me it’s not!
😮
Until one’s real freedom is taken away, crime doesn’t pay.
Sad for citizens of the world who endure such Plutocratic plundering
LOL, it is obvious that the government in these countries are either complacent, or they can’t do their jobs and enforce the laws to protect the country like they are supposed to, or they are part of the corruption! A total system reset is imperative, from TOP to BOTTOM the system is corrupted, the lack of accountability is evidence that the system is designed from it’s core to allow this to take place. REVOLT, is the name of the game! Don’t throw stones at people armed to the teeth, because you will loose, only strength in numbers will work in that type scenario, be prepared, expect the unexpected and be ready to suffer a lot! There will be a lot of blood spilled! If you want your freedom and to get rid of corruption you must deal with it by all means necessary. Allowing this to continue does not give you the right to complain about it, unless you take action! DO SOMETHING PEOPLE! Aren’t you all tired of being just part of the HERD! Great show, this channel is the best, simply!
Lol bit rich coming from Al Jazeera, a literal mouthpiece of the Qatari state.
sorry Al jazeera but it is stupideeee whot you did…..🤥
Westerners are very good uncovering other’s corruption, but they never uncover their own, even worst they cover it up as state secrets 😅. Or even more, they steel in plain sight and legally.
Like the Venezuelan gold stolen by England, the modern United kingdom of pirates.
Why should we believe this investigation?
Oligarchs exist in every country,and in every country they have the real power behind the government. No exceptions.
Incredible.
The Kremlin malevolence just keeps getting deeper, everywhere you look. It’s like a nest of cockroaches.
Great investigation. Follow up episode please!
corruption goes on in every country . the united states is up there in the list also . bush and cheyne for example . contracts for the boys . haliburton for example . bush and cheyne where both on the board . if you dont allow the united states to take your oil , then you are a terrorist .
It is not Genius that allow’s the Slaughter of Millions of Innocent Human Beings who have a Right to live and enjoy their lives, just to make Money. It’s not Interesting, it’s Disgusting and Vulgar.
No matter how Rich, these Oligarchs are just Petty Thieves that are running from the Law, like any Cat Burgler. Fancy Names, Lifestyles are nothing in their Hearts they know their own Truth. Their Psychopaths.
The Masses are Robbed and hardly have enough food to live. How Grand are these Psychopath’s Crimes.
Investigate the Democrat Party in the U.S!
How would you compare that wooden house to Buckingham palace? Also run on tax payers money….and those tax payers are watching this program and baulking at this “corruption” yet they cant see they themselves are being mugged via the front door
I wonder when will aljazeera investigate the corruption regarding Fifa world cup or Qatar supporting talibans or of their so call pakistani nawaz sharif ..friends of qatari amir … when it would be so interesting !!!
“For the elites in Russia and Ukraine, it is basically the same country … “ 😅
How many of these oligarchs are dead now?
AL JAZEERA SEEMS MUCH MORE CAPABLE INVESTIGATORS THAN MOST OF THESE AUTHORITIES THAT ARE SET UP TO FAIL IS MY SUSPICION.
Am watching this right now and I can say, Ukrainians were so lucky to get rid of the Russian puppet in time.
Putin had almost abducted the country in broad daylight. Wanting to do the same like at home
“Observe the plans within plans within plans”
Notice what they all are? Jewish!
Get Barclays
Here’s my question. Obviously Ukrainian Prosecutors and Western banks know these oligarchs are committing fraud and corruption, why don’t they have the IMF freeze all their assets and basically return all their wealth back to the people and close down all the foreign accounts. We’re talking about billions, upon billions that can go to help fight Russia by the Ukrainians.
The oligarchs belong to the chosen ones.
Are we supposed to believe America for anything it says they care not for Ukrainian lives only expansionism your country is perfect test for weaponry and tactics tacts now look at your dead.
Each time the arabs try to kill the jews and “push them to the sea” they lost, fail and Israel became bigger and stronger.
Now the new evil is Iran and Israel is a major part of the counter Iran Group – America, Egypt, Jorden, Maroco, Dubai, and Saudi Arebia.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad are killing palastinians civilians – They threw ‘Fatech’ people of buildings in Gaza in 2007 and took over. Since then they are holding the palastinians and the Israeli hosteges in order to create a new Islamic Halifa like ISIS
They shot a hospital in Gaza in order to blame Israel and intercept President Biden visit
Be on the right side of history
1:37
Money is never dirty its just money like god there no dirty god
Nice documentary…….brought to you by Al Jew Zeera.
What song is playing at 11:52?
