P1 Documentary has mapped an organization that transports black funds from European countries in trucks to Turkey. The organization is controlled from Turkey and bears clear signs of a so-called underground banking system. The purpose is to move profits from organized crime – for a percentage of the money.
They go there to exchange on the black market, says an anonymous former money courier to P1 Documentary.
In total, it can be a matter of hundreds of millions from criminal organizations that have been smuggled out to be laundered in Turkey. In addition to over 80 million that has been seized in Sweden, Norway, and Germany, there are reports of even more and larger black money transports.
We know that parts of this money come from narcotics crime. We also know that the money partly comes from fraud, says a police officer who is an expert on money laundering about the money from Sweden.
