Chapter 3445: Huge assets

"What was the result of Garcia talking with you?" Lin Rui frowned.
"He told me that there are still some heavy equipment in his hands. They were hidden in the latter part of the war. If necessary, they can be taken out and used." Hamis whispered.
Lin Rui groaned, "This is a good thing. But to be honest, the effects of these equipment are quite limited. Once you are ready to attack Sirte, you must not go to war, preferably a small-scale coup to complete the smoothing of power. Transition. Don’t even think about using heavy artillery or armor. First, the momentum is too strong; second, it’s easy to feel too strong. It makes others alert to you."
"Yes, that's what I think." Hamis nodded, "In fact, sometimes, it is better to spend a small amount of money with an iron fist. Now, I still have a part of the funds left in my hand. This is only during the war. With a small part of the reserve funds we have prepared, if I can obtain funds from several other secret accounts, things will become much easier. At least when it comes to buying those local armed tribes, it will be effortless."
After the death of the former leader of Libya, Gaddafi, Libya ushered in an era of turmoil. As a controversial figure, Gaddafi and his family control the hugely profitable industries of the entire country, and the accumulated wealth is naturally wealthy. According to incomplete statistics, its total assets at home and abroad are as high as US$200 billion. However, most of this wealth was not recovered after Gaddafi's death...
Since Libya entered the Gaddafi era in 1969, oil and natural gas exports have reached hundreds of billions of dollars, and at least half of them have fallen into the pockets of the Gaddafi family. Any private enterprise that may threaten the interests of the Gaddafi family will be eroded or annexed once discovered. The Gaddafi family will forcibly nationalize the company "for the benefit of Libya" and eventually become a tool for the Gaddafi family to make money.
In addition, the use of state-owned funds to invest overseas and then make huge profits is also one of the means for the Gaddafi family to accumulate money. They invest in a very wide range, including media, banking, film and television, football, automobiles, communications, aviation, etc. Equity in overseas companies.
After the start of the Libyan war, in order to limit Gaddafi’s war potential, major countries have frozen the funds of the Gaddafi family. The United States has frozen 37 billion US dollars, the UK has frozen 2 billion pounds, Germany has frozen 7.3 billion euros, and Italy has frozen. 6 billion euros, the Netherlands has frozen 3 billion euros, and Canada has frozen 2.4 billion US dollars...
In 2011, according to some people in Libya, the Los Angeles Times revealed that Gaddafi's overseas secret assets may exceed US$80 billion! Because it is necessary to find the relevant assets first, secondly it must be proved that these assets are owned by Gaddafi, and thirdly it must be proved that this is the illegal gain of Gaddafi, and this process is very difficult. It burns money and is time-consuming and recovers Hope is almost zero.
Lin Rui looked at Hamis and said, "I've heard some rumors. You are truly a rich and adversary country."
"No, no, no, my friend is not a wealthy country. The wealth of our heyday is not even comparable to the average country." Hamis sighed, "Unfortunately war is always a money-burning business. The funds currently available here may not be enough."
"Then how are you going? I have to remind you that our services are also charged, and the price is much higher than that of ordinary mercenaries." Lin Rui frowned.
"Of course, your service is worth the money." Hamis nodded, "but I need money, which is also true. I have a task for you, and I know where I can get the money. Specifically, yes I know who owns a certain amount of money. I need your help to help me get it back."
"Our previous contract only provided you with protection." Lin Rui frowned.
"Mr. Silver Wolf and I have amended the contract yesterday. I intend to extend your employment time until I complete the occupation of Sirte." Hamis whispered.
"Silver Wolf didn't tell me?" Lin Rui frowned.
Hamis nodded, "I told him not to tell you, because I want to see your surprised expression. Well, I have to admit, you are the kind of tough guy who is not easy to move."
"I will verify this with Silver Wolf, then tell me how you plan to find money. I am not interested in other tasks, and I am still a little interested in the task of finding money." Lin Rui nodded.
Khamis nodded, "In addition to owning a large amount of property in Libya, my father also invested a lot in overseas. He owned 7.6% of UniCredit Bank, 2% of Italian company, and Juventus, Italy. A 7.5% stake in the football club, a 3.27% stake in the British publishing giant Pearson Group, a small stake in the Rusal giant Rusal... there are many more.
During the war, the family's wealth was prepared to be divided into dozens of secret accounts for use in stalemate during the war and even restart funds after failure. Most of these have been frozen, and a small part is still in use. But recently some assets have evaporated from Belgian banks.
According to the UN Security Council resolution, the assets of my father Gaddafi were frozen in 2011, when he had deposits of more than 14 billion euros in Fortis Bank, ING, Union Bank of Belgium, and European Bank for Clearing. Since the United Nations Security Council resolution did not affect the accrued interest, this deposit has increased by 5 billion euros in the past eight years. Just recently, these interest income was withdrawn by unknown persons. "
"Do you know who did it?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I know that this amount of money was nothing before. But now, this is simply stealing the last hope of our family. I know who can move the money, and I know that this person has other things in his hands. Some accounts, some are even usable accounts that have not been discovered and frozen. Because this guy is very cunning, he transferred a large part of it in cash bonds before freezing, and now he has the idea of ​​those principal interest.
This person is Pat. He used to be the personal accountant of my brother Mutasin. If we find this person, we can find money. Including those currently available accounts and all the assets he stolen from frozen accounts before. "Hamis whispered.
"Well, I only have two questions, how much money does he have, and where is he hiding?" Lin Rui frowned.
"This guy is a financial management expert hired by my brother. He is shrewd and good at making money. But obviously there is no loyalty to speak of. If I find him, I think he has enough funds to start the next Libyan war. Yes. The premise is if I still want to do it." Hamis said slowly.
