From the life inside Ukraine on the 28th of February 2022.

Three creative and very artistic friends of mine from Kiev. Now, one is (going from directing a number which took them to the final of America's Got Talent) to making Molotov cocktails trying to protect his and his family from Russian tanks across the street. The other is trying to survive his son and his ex-wife in a small village in the western part of Ukraine, doing whatever they can to help in the fight. And one is fighting on the frontline and can't be reached.

The international intelligence consultant continues his fascinating story on his experience from Afghanistan. But is it really true that two of the worlds most powerful nations are deeply connected to Afghan opium trade and what does roughly 22 tons of Afghan gold do, deposited in American banks, when they know the money comes from the same trade? Or do they really know?

Judge Francesco Florit responds to, what he calls, prosecutor Maria Bamieh's false and inaccurate accusations from Ep31.

Also; When EULEX Head Of Mission Gabrielle Meucci and prosecutor Danilo Ceccarelli broke into surveillance officer Michael Rawlinson's safe, were they really "just" looking for original documents and telephone intercepts of criminals? Or... were they actually looking for something else? Something that Michael Rawlinson and the Finnish prosecutor Heikki Wendorf had picked up and were investigating? Something that needed to be secured to protect EULEX and the President of Kosovo, but not least the EU?

Guest: Judge Francesco Florit (former President of the Assembly of the EULEX judges)

When Maria Bamieh decided to go to the press with allegations of corruption and cover-up within Eulex in Kososv, she became a folk hero to many ordinary Kosovans. But her employer at EULEX began an aggressive fight against her, depicting her as a mediocre prosecutor, mad and menopausal. Any means allowed, as long as she was kept quiet. Listen to her side of this remarkable story.

Guest: Maria Bamieh - Prosecutor and former Head of Financial Crimes at EULEX.
