In 2008, 23-year-old Norwegian student Martine Vik Magnussen was killed after a night out in Mayfair. In the early morning following her murder, the man responsible, Farouk Abdulhak fled the UK to Yemen.
Farouk Abdulhak is the son of one of Yemen’s richest and most powerful men For nearly 15 years, he hasn't left the country and has lived in luxurious hotels, protected by his father's power.
The British government has tried to extradite him to the UK to face justice, but Yemeni law continues to protect him, as there is no extradition treaty with the UK.
In 2011, BBC reporter Nawal Al-Maghafi tracked Farouk down and befriended him on Snapchat. After gaining his trust, Farouk confessed to killing Martine but claimed it was an accident resulting from rough sex gone wrong.
Today, Farouk remains trapped behind his wall of wealth, privilege, and power, while Martine's family and friends are still waiting for him to be brought to justice.

Today's case is Sanda Dia, a clever, and ambitious young man, had his life tragically cut short during a brutal hazing ritual in 2018. Sanda was attempting to join an elite, wealthy, and predominantly white fraternity called Reuzegom at KU Leuven in Belgium. For nearly 48 hours, he endured unimaginable torture. This case revealed the harsh reality of how racism, classism, and privilege allowed the 18 members involved to avoid serious punishment. The Belgian courts' decision sparked outrage and raised serious questions about whether money always wins when it comes to justice. In 2020, when the Black Lives Matter movement began, calls for justice for Sanda Dia erupted across university campuses in Belgium and the Netherlands. Angered by the trial's verdict, YouTuber Acid exposed the identities of the 18 boys involved. But, his punishment ended up being greater than what was given to those responsible for Sanda's death.
