01x03 - Vidnet, der ikke vil dø

[bunniefuu]

To document your ties to
the criminal underworld and upperworld -

- we have an office for you.
Here you are to
fall back into your old role -

- as the criminals'
preferred advisor.

- What's in the bag?
- All the invoices for money laundering.

It was important that I got them.

I hope that the number can get up
to that.
Then there's 20 for each of you.

I've been caught,
but I've always been acquitted.

I don't want to do anything
that doesn't interest me.

He's a full-fledged member
who has taken responsibility for Fasar.

He has to make sure
that he is at the different places.

Martin has gotten into trouble.

In the Malm Group, it's all the companies,
except Rosenkrantz, that are fictitious.

I'll never get out of this life
if I don't do something.

Well, sis.
I'll be in Pakistan from the 25th.

- Hi, sis. It's me.
- You finally got through.

I also called you
directly from the Pakistani number.

- You can always call that one.
- Okay. How did it go in court?

It went fine.

What about the guy who was in the hospital,
is he...? How is he doing?

- I'll find out tonight.
- Okay. That's fine.

Do you want to join a live session
or what?

"Do you want to join a live session or what?"

asks Fasar.
What does he mean by that?

It's because his whole intention with
going to Pakistan is -

- from what I've understood,
that he's going to liquidate someone -

- who is supposed to testify in a court case.

So that was what he was asking if
I wanted to watch live.

- So, watch him commit the m*rder?
- Yes.

That is...

- I'm leaving on Sunday, sister.
- Why?

I have to go down for
the trial on Tuesday.

I have to go to a trial.
I have to
go, or else it's the craziest...

Chicken sandwich, Fasar?
Two chicken sandwiches.

- How long will you be away?
- For 10-15 days to start with.

They haven't spared
on the curry dressing.

No, they haven't spared on any
dressing in that one at all.

- Are you taking your mother with you?
- Have you read the article?

It said: "Danish citizen charged
with three murders and one attempted m*rder."

- Yes.
- That's the case. It's me.

Oh! So you're charged? And you have
to show up?
You can't just not show up?

- I'm only charged with one.
- So, one m*rder?

No, one attempted m*rder.
The one guy didn't want to die.

It's easier when they're dead.
Then you close it off.

You know that in Pakistan,
if the family has forgiven, then...

It's been over a year.
So now
I'm just going down to get it closed.

Oh, okay. What if you get
convicted of m*rder?
You won't.

- No.
- No, okay. You can sort it out?

That's why you're going down there.

- Now there's just the last one.
- He's still alive?

Yes. He's in the hospital.
He doesn't want to die.

But he will die.

Fasar's confessions garnished with
a chicken sandwich with dripping -

- comes as a surprise to both us and Amira.

It sounds like he is on his way to
Pakistan to liquidate a witness.

As journalists, we usually keep
our cards close to our chest -

- and are reluctant to share source material
with the authorities.

But here, lives are at stake.

We therefore ensure that the police
are informed of Fasar's plans.

While we wait for news in that case,
we continue working on the main track:

The connection between
the upperworld and the underworld.

You said -

- that you have also worked
for and with top lawyers.

I have a good relationship with one,
named Nicolai Dyhr.

- How big a name is Nicolai Dyhr?
- Big.

He is one of the most skilled lawyers
in the field of bankruptcy.

He is quite well-known.
People know who he is.

What can he do,
if you're a criminal?

He can do many things.

He can shut down companies
without questioning it.

- This is Nicolai Dyhr.
- Hi, Nicolai. It's Amira.

Hi, Amira.

I'm calling because I've opened
my office in Frederiksberg.

- Would you like to stop by sometime?
- Yes, I'd love to.

It's not quite Horten-level,
but it's fine for me.

It's great. It's great.
You have your own meeting lounge here.

Nicolai Dyhr is a mother-in-law's dream.
A true model citizen.

At least on paper. A law graduate
from the University of Copenhagen.

Almost ten years with the State Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime.
Right to appear before the Supreme Court.

Associated with legal aid.
Member of VL Group 18.

And a partner in one of the most
respected law firms in Denmark:

Horten.

Is there anyone you collaborate with
regarding bankruptcy?

I don't know how much time you have
to take them... Do you have employees?

Yes, yes.
I have employees.

One of Dyhr's main occupations
is to act as a trustee.

When a company goes bankrupt,
he distributes the assets among those -

- who have a claim on the estate,
the creditors -

- and ensures that
everything is done properly.

I saw that you had
that Michelin restaurant?

- Kadeau.
- Yes. You handled that one too.

- Yes.
- I heard there was some funny business with that one.

- The wine cellar had disappeared.
- That can happen.

Then I got in touch with them,
because we had surveillance cameras.

We could see who had been
in there. Then it came back again.

Oh, okay!

But the bottles didn't quite
match the lists. Never mind that.

Now I've started officially,
and I'm getting a lot of inquiries.

Could we go over the procedure,
when some of these are to go bankrupt?

Yes. That's great.
I'm totally on board with that.

They are very afraid that
large claims will be made against them.

Can I say that not everything
is looked at with a fine-tooth comb?

Yes.
You can tell them
that we'll go through it together first.

I have my colleague...
She is also very easy to talk to.

The other one is named...
He is a bit more rigid.

But I'll let... get involved.
She was also involved in Ali's back then.

Yes, I remember that.

Some of them don't need
everything to be scrutinised.

Yes.
If there's no money
in the estate, there's no reason to.

We can try to run some of them
through, Amira, nice and easy -

- and see how it goes.
We just have to get it running.

Well...

It went okay,
but as he says himself:

"Call me
when you have a concrete example."

Hi. I'm going
to Horten, the law firm.

Hi. We have a meeting
with Nicolai Dyhr at 9:30.

To test lawyer Dyhr's
willingness in practice -

- Amira brings the mysterious Wassem
into play again.

The man
she met with in Christianshavn.

Unpredictable people.
You keep an eye on them.

If it goes the wrong way,
you give them a shot in the back of the head.

Besides being a g*ng veteran -

- he is also behind the shawarma bar
Boy's Christianshavn.

The shawarma bar
has accumulated a tax debt -

- while Wassem
has been in prison for weapons possession.

The risk that the state's extended arm,
the Attorney General, will soon come knocking -

- is imminently high.

Wassem has a need.

It is therefore obvious to set him up
with lawyer Dyhr and see -

- if Dyhr has a remedy
for Wassem's stomach ache.

- Hi, Nicolai.
- Sorry for the delay.

- Hi, Amira.
- Hello.

I hope you haven't been waiting long.
- No, but we're a bit in a hurry, right?

- You run Boy's?
- I do.

And I've been away for 19 months.

I got out
a month and a half ago.

Some complications have occurred.
I'm in the process of cleaning that up.

Boy's Christianshavn ApS, I would
like to close it and then open a new one.

The problem with it is,
that there is a tax debt of about 2.4.

Yes.
With a debt of 2.4 to the tax authorities -

- it's just a matter of
who closes it.

Whether it's the Attorney General who
closes it, or if it's someone else.

- Can you be the trustee?
- I can on a voluntary petition.

If you can provide 40,000
for security...

- That can be done.
- Then you can file the petition yourself.

And then we choose the trustee, right?

The keyword here is "voluntary petition".

A cornerstone of what
Amira calls the "Dyhr model".

If Wassem just pays 40,000 DKK.
-

- he can appoint Dyhr as the
trustee to handle the bankruptcy -

- and thus steer
clear of the Attorney General -

- whose primary task is to ensure
that the Tax Agency gets its money.

You were afraid they would show up,
right? Instead of you.

With an arrear of 2.4,
it's just a matter of time -

- before they act on it.

What you do is, we prepare
and submit the voluntary petition.

Then we call someone called...

- Yes, I know them.
- Yes.

Here we come to
the next part of the Dyhr model.

When Wassem is to continue running the shawarma bar
in a new company -

- he needs to buy machines
and inventory out of the bankruptcy estate -

- as cheaply as possible.

Here Dyhr knows an appraisal firm
that, according to him, is willing to -

- fudge the numbers a bit.

- It shouldn't be assessed as if...
- Are it the same two or three people there?

Yes, yes.
They are some old fools.

Amira explains to them that the valuation
should not be particularly high.

To be blunt.

How much is there in employee claims?


Yes. About 200.
More than 200.

Some of them
haven't been paid for half a year.

They can get their back pay from LG
if they have payslips.

They have them.

LG is the abbreviation
for Lønmodtagernes Garantifond [the Employees' Guarantee Fund].

A fund that ensures that employees
get what they are owed -

- when their workplace goes bankrupt.

Wassem wants to know if you
can suck a little extra out of the fund.

- And can we add some extra?
- You can always try.

It's LG that decides
how much they will cover, right?

Yes, and then
you have to deposit 40,000 where?

To Horten's client account.
It's Jyske Bank.

- Cash or bank transfer?
- You only have cash.

No,
it should preferably be deposited into the bank account.

On the client account in Jyske Bank.

I have prepared the petition now
and the attachments and everything.

- That's fast.
- Then you just need to sign.

- There.
Then it's packed and ready.
- Thank you.

Simply.

It went as it should.

- See you.
- We will.
Thanks for today.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Everything okay?
- Yes.
He gave me a hug at the end.

He placed his hand
two centimeters above that box -

- where the camera is.
My heart stopped completely.

But there was nothing.
He
gave me a hug: "Bye, bye. See you."

- And you're okay?
- I'm perfectly okay.
Yes.

How was it to sit in there?

It's difficult for me, because I
feel a bit like I'm fighting against...

I'm really struggling not to
fall back into the same role.

Because the circumstances are the same.

There's a g*ng member sitting there.
There's a lawyer sitting there.

And potentially, we could
make a lot of money.

How did you
get so good at lying?

It's not something you learn.
It's something you experience works.

And I came to Denmark with nothing.

I entered a Danish school where
people didn't know about my background.

They didn't know that you were
a refugee from the w*r in Bosnia?

Most people thought I was born in DK
and lived a completely normal life.

They didn't necessarily know
that there had been a w*r -

- or what that meant.

But when they asked you:
"Who are you?" what did you say then?

I refrained from saying anything.

If people asked:
"What did you do during the summer vacation?"

I had never done anything.
I had just been at home.

When it was my turn, and everyone else
had talked about their charter holidays -

- and trips to the zoo,
I had to say something.

It starts small,
with you saying:

"I have also
been to the zoo."

It started small, but what
was the next step and the next?

You can't put it that
way: What was the next step?

When children find out that
something works, it grows in them.

Then it no longer becomes something
you think about.

So when you finish primary school,
you're good at lying?

Yes... Yes.

At the office,
we're waiting for news from Pakistan -

- where Fasar has traveled to
silence a difficult witness.

He's in the hospital.
He doesn't want to die, but he will die.

Today's visitors
are the odd couple:

Bandidos biker Jimmy Skjoldborg
and businessman Martin Malm.

He just had an accident
and wrecked the new car on Friday night.

Is that right?

The talk is about Fasar's ability to
always get himself into trouble.

He drove through the barrier
and smashed that big new Amarok.

His face was swollen,
so he was pulled out at the airport.

They thought he was trying to escape.

He had to have his fingerprints
and pictures taken, so the plane was delayed.

- He snorts every Friday.
- He does not.

I've told him
that I'll smash his face.

- When we do these things...
- Yes, but I've arranged with him...

He has a big case.
He's owed five million.

There's no partying. I've said
that I'll break his nose.

- Can I take this? It's Fasar.
- Yes.

Hi, Fasar.
I'm in a meeting
with Jimmy and Martin.

- Jimmy wants to talk to you.
- How's it going down there?

It's going. It's going. It's going.

- Okay.
- Call me when you're alone.

- Yes. I'll just step out.
- Yes.

- Yes.
- It's going slowly, bro.

There's a bit of a headache,
but I'll get it sorted today.

There is also a date tomorrow.
There is also one on Thursday.

- Are you done in court today?
- Yes, I'm almost done.

- Text me. Okay. Hey.
- See you, bro. Bye.

Fasar is being thrifty
with the information.

But his Pakistani problem
is not going away as easily -

- as he had hoped.

The fate of the surviving witness
remains unknown for now.

- It's not good.
- Doesn't he have it under control?

I don't know.
Someone has lost
their life down there, so it's not just...

- How much control do you have then?
- Yes, that's it.

While the cat is away,
we're looking at Fasar's cards.

Before Fasar went to Pakistan,
he gave Amira access to documents -

- concerning his family's business.

This gives us insight into the way
Fasar conducts his business.

Sister,
can you access my email?

How?

I'll come home, and then I'll get
Sumeel to set up a TeamViewer.

I'd like...
you to look into this.

We find bank statements
belonging to a Lise Roulund.

Behind that name is
a seemingly ordinary lawyer.

Welcome, Lise Roulund,
lawyer at Airhelp.dk.

You make a living helping passengers
who are seeking extra help.

We just want there to be
transparency in the area.

What does this lawyer have
to do with Fasar?

We can learn more when Fasar's nephew
visits the office in Frederiksberg.

His name is Sumeel and according to a
police report from 2021 -

- he is a member of the now-banned street g*ng
Loyal to Familia.

- Lise.
- I'm not supposed to talk about her.

You have to explain to me who Lise is.

Lise is a lawyer
who is getting on in years.

- She's at least 30+.
- There's nothing wrong with that.

- Yes, there is.
- 35.

Still. 30+.
That's half of your life.

- Stop.
- That's right. Midlife crisis.

That's when you hit the midlife crisis.
Should I find a picture of her?

It's this one here.

What does she do for you? I don't
understand. She has a client account.

- She has a client account for us.
- How much money is in there now?

- Roughly? Seven or eight million.
- Who makes the transfers?

- She transfers from the client account.
- To whom?

- To a garbage company.
- A garbage company invoice?

- Is she Ret*rded?
- She trusts us.

I just send her the
account and registration number:

"You transfer this amount to this."
Then she does it.

According to the nephew, there is extensive
invoice fraud in the family business.

And the lawyer Lise Roulund
apparently plays an important role.

When the bank became suspicious
and closed Fasar's accounts -

- Lise Roulund
instead provided a bank account.

She makes the necessary transfers
so the fraud can continue.

The big question is whether she knows
that she is complicit in money laundering?

We get Amira to set up a meeting
with Lise Roulund.

The two of us can benefit from each other's
networks and cases.

Let's figure something out.
That would be a lot of fun.

It's not much,
but it's an office.

- Is this it? Wow, that's cool.
- It's not like...

- No, but it's sufficient.
- I think so.

Regarding Fasar and those guys,
I don't know how much -

- you are involved in
their consulting and such.

The whole story with them is...

They have changed it to a public limited company
and need someone on the board.

He says: "Everything looks fine,
and the accounts look fine."

So I say: "I can do that."

Suddenly I find out
how serious this actually is.

- What are you thinking?
- They are charged with money laundering.

Suddenly their home is
raided, and they are on the street.

It's all wrong.

Oops!

- Hi.
- Hi, Peter.

This is Peter, Fasar's
business partner in the construction industry -

- who is stopping by
to run an errand.

Peter also knows about Lise's
involvement in Fasar's businesses.

So, are you still the one
paying the invoices?

It has been, yes.
What a mess.

The number of employees being paid
wages does not match -

- what is stated on CVR.

The two who own the company
and are on the board, they are on student grants.

May I take this one?
It's from the Painters' Union.

Hi, Søren.

Because they can't operate -

- so they have a client account with me
during that period.
They still do.

Great. Thanks for that. Bye.

But you're not allowed to have control
over the client's funds in that way.

No, no.
I'm not supposed to sit there,
as if I were a bank, and operate.

That's not going to work.

Yes.
So there is one and a half million,
two million or something -

- that I would like to get rid of.

- Shall I send you an account number?
- Yes.

I have to go back,
I have a plumber waiting.

- Can you guys have a good time?
- Yes, thanks. You too.

- Have a good day.
- You too.

When you have a client account with you,
do you make the transfers?

It's me.
It's my NemID. It's my name.

Exactly.
Hey, don't look like that.

- It's been a year, right?
- Yes.

How much
has been in and out in amounts?

I dare not say,
but there has been quite a lot.

- You have to say.
- I don't know.

- I don't know.
- Millions?

Yes.
It's a load of crap,
to put it bluntly.

Your own bank must be thinking:
"What are you doing?"

Yes, yes. They do.

It's only because my advisor
is the director of the business bank.

He has protected me
when the money laundering team has said:

"What is that lawyer doing there?"

Yes.

- We need to shut that down.
- Yes, yes. We do.

It's sh*t on top of sh*t. It's
only given me a headache, that stuff.

- Hello.
- It's crazy what she's done.

You can't help
but feel a little sorry for her.

It seems like she
hasn't been able to comprehend it -

- or is smart enough to comprehend
what she is actually doing.

You have a client who has had
raids and had accounts closed -

- then the red
alarm bells should be ringing.

And then you have a banker.
At the same time, she also says:

"The banker is my friend.
That's why I haven't been kicked out."

So you are also aware
that you should have been kicked out.

Don't come and say
that you feel a little sorry for her.

Well!
But another
interesting day at the office.

Yes.

Hello.

Hey, sis. What's up?
We're just about
to get dressed. We have to go.

- And you're okay?
- Actually no, but...

It's either me...
You know how it is, right?

Sis, I'm calling you
on signal... on video.

So be aware of what you are about to see.

- Otherwise, don't pick it up.
- Okay.

After the conversation, Fasar sends pictures
to Amira that suggest -

- that a m*rder of the Pakistani
witness may be imminent.

The threat against the witness
has now become even more concrete.

We again ensure
that Danish police are notified.

We also see a confirmation that -

- that they will inform
their partner in Pakistan.

Yo, Frankie?

I can't, but can I
get my cousin to come in there?

No.
I want to explain to you...
I want you to see it.

Okay, cool. Bye, bye.

Did Frankie get the customers?
Or how is it Frankie's money?

- No, that...
- Oh.
Yes...

It turns out there are more
partners in Malm's invoice factory.

Frankie, with whom the Bandidos rocker Jimmy
was talking on the phone -

- is actually named Farhan Azam.

Here he is seen with one of the masterminds -

- in the most extensive money laundering case
in Danish history -

- "Operation Greed".

Frankie himself has been convicted
of attempted m*rder, aggravated as*ault -

- and for carrying a loaded p*stol
in a public space.

On the more peaceful side, he has
served on the board of FC Gladsaxe.

Here we find a direct connection
to Malm's invoice factory.

For among the club's sponsors
are three of the companies -

- to which Malm, by his own admission,
has sent fictitious invoices -

- for almost two million kroner.

These are KR Nedrivning ApS,
Gulvbyg ApS and Dansk Klima ApS.

- Who are your primary customers?
- Dansk Klima.

- Okay, so it's like...
- It's big...

These sponsors are thus
entangled in Malm's invoice factory -

- just like
the Copenhagen nightclubs.

The ones we previously discovered
were also sent false invoices.

It's not just Frankie's football connections
that make him interesting.

His involvement means that Bandidos
is not the only biker club -

- that Malm has an access card to.

I think
it's that Satudarah thing.

Jimmy calls them gangsters.

Frankie and the so-called gangsters -

- have connections
to the biker club Satudarah.

They've got money tied up
in Malm's failed invoice factory -

- and are now demanding their share.

Malm can't give it to them because
his bank accounts have been closed.

We need to give those guys out there
the money that they are supposed to have.

As long as the money is on an account,
and you can transfer, it's no problem.

- They just aren't right now.
- No.

We agreed on all that,
that expenses etc., they should be shared.

- We completely agree on that.
- They got 100,000 out before.

- It's not 400,000.
- No, no.

- They also only claim it's 300.
- No, he said 400.

I'm meeting with
one of the guys from Værebro...

The one we've been working with.

I was thinking of bringing him in here,
so they can see -

- that this is how it's done.

The international biker club
Satudarah is confrontational.

It has been at w*r with large parts
of the rest of the Danish underworld -

- and has been involved
in countless sh**ting incidents.

In other words:
People in that circle -

- are almost the epitome of types
you don't want to owe money to.

It is very important
that we keep a cool head.

So that we all know
what is going on.

Because it all hangs together
in this... that they get their money.

And that construction companies, everything...
It's all lined up like a string of pearls now.

- For my part.
- Yes.

And they're coming at full speed,
because everyone is hungry.

People are completely insane right now
because of money.

It's just crazy
what's happening all around.

Oh!

Yes.

Your old self, the ice queen,
what would you have done with Malm -

- if it was you
he owed money to?

Then he would have long since
had a visit from someone with patches.

- Some bikers?
- Yes.

When people didn't pay my invoices,
someone from Hells Angels collected the money.

As a kind of debt collection.

A friendly reminder
that the bill had to be paid.

I've seen people being picked up.

If you have borrowed money
and haven't paid it back -

- and you've been given chances
and can't figure it out -

- then you have to be picked up
and taken to the woods.

It is impossible
to have power without money.

Conversely, it is also impossible
to have money without power.

To gain power in the criminal
underworld, a few things are needed.

If you are to maintain that position,
then you have to sanction -

- when someone does something
you don't like.

And thus, violence
can be a natural consequence.

At least, it is
the easiest way to punish.

Since I'm not a man, I had
to get others to do those things.

Have people been harmed?

It could well be
that some were, yes.

What do you think about that today?

I am ashamed of who
I have been.

Is it a shame
that is going to go away?

No.

- It will always be there?
- I think so.

- Hello.
- Hello.
I've spoken with the tax authorities.

There will not be
any problem with getting paid.

Super. Wow, that was today's good news.
Thank you so much!

- It's alright.
- Fantastic.

I'll open a good bottle of champagne
the next time I see you.

Martin Malm
has received good news from the tax authorities -

- which may help him
out of his biker debt.

They will now transfer the amount
that Malm, on paper -

- has overpaid in VAT.

That was the trick he boasted about
when he first met Amira.

I create complex setups,
so you can't see what's going on.

There is so much negative VAT,
that I get a lot of money back.

It's white-collar criminals,
as they say.

But there is still one challenge:

Martin Malm
has had his bank accounts blocked.

So now he lacks a place
for the tax authorities to pay the money to.

Solutions to that problem are found
during a meeting at Malm's office.

Basically, we only need
one Danish account number -

- which we make the NEM account
for all the companies.

What about a client account
with a lawyer?

- You can do that too.
- Then we need to talk to her...

- Lise. Let me talk to her.
- Yes.
Can't you do that?

If it could be done relatively quickly,
because then the money is placed there.

- This is Lise.
- Hi, Lise. It's Amira.

A client named Martin -

- deals with
real estate transactions and various things.

He could be interesting to meet,
as he has some cases and such.

Yes, of course.
I'm free on Monday.

Monday is fine. Shall we say
at my place on Monday morning?

Yes, see you then. Bye.

Hi.

How goes? Hello.

- Lise.
- Hi.
Martin.

You should introduce your
company and the problem yourselves.

Yes.
I have been a customer
at Danske Bank for 20 years.

Out of the blue,
we have to do a crazy compliance.

We get five days to complete it,
which is unrealistic.

I'm on vacation in the Mediterranean
and on a cruise ship -

- and basically
have no connection.

That caused them to block
incoming and outgoing payments.

Great. Or really not great, one might say.
That's really bad form.

It would be alpha and omega for me,
if I could get a solution -

- so I could get the money out from the tax authorities
and be able to pay my employees.

Fair enough. I'll see what
I can do, and then we'll figure it out.

We need to agree on your
fee beforehand, right?

What do you want?

I'm not going to take advantage of
you being in a difficult situation.

I would rather have
a future collaboration.

Then I hope
that you haven't forgotten me.

We won't.
So we just need to get started.

Great.
That sounds very promising.

The meeting is a success for Martin Malm.
Lise Roulund is solution-oriented -

- and will make
a bank account available.

Now the money from the tax authorities
can be paid out.

I trust him,
but he's friends with Fasar.

So he can't be completely normal.

I'll explain it, so you know
that there have been fake invoices involved.

Yes. Okay.

There has been silence
on the line to Fasar -

- since he sent the pictures from
Pakistan of himself in a combat uniform -

- until the day after,
when he reports back.

How did it go yesterday?
I assumed you were okay?

Yes, yes, alhamdulillah.
There was too much traffic.

- Okay.
- No, I don't have it under control.

I found that out yesterday.
I thought it would be a bit easier.

- People are not...
- It's not easy to get to.

Inshallah, now we'll see
what happens today.

I still have a few nights left.
We just need to get it done before Friday.

- Yes.
- I'll put you on live.

- Then you can also live out that dream.
- No!

I just wanted to hear if you were okay.

- I'm okay, sister, alhamdulillah.
- Yes.

Do you have any idea why
he is offering you to watch it?

A m*rder of a witness.

He thinks
that I would find it fun.

That's what he thinks of me.

That you are someone
who would like to witness a m*rder?

Yes, maybe I would
find that exciting or...

- Hi. How are you?
- Well, stress and rush.

Amira's phone
is red-hot these days.

The men in her life are calling -

- because they are running into problems
and need her expertise.

Have you spoken to Martin? I
told him to talk to you -

- because I'm stressed out
with some other things.

- Give him a call.
- I'll give him a call.

Hi, Amira.
The bank reopened the accounts -

- but threatens to close them if
I don't send in more documents.

That's been enough,
so we have to find another solution.

That's all right.
Bye.

Martin Malm's bank
is really starting to stress him out.

The suspicion of money laundering
has apparently grown.

Malm appears concerned that
the unwanted attention -

- could lead to a police report.

It's time to get rid of
the dirty laundry.

I'm planning to,
all the companies I have now -

- I need to sell them,
and then I'll start a new one.

- Sold or file for bankruptcy?
- File for bankruptcy.

We'll create a new holding company.

I'm using section 4, subsection 2 of the Business Start-up Account Act
to set up a new company.

I get a tax deduction and put the
holding company under -

- which becomes the new operating company.
It just has to be fast.

What I've done before,
is that a trustee -

- who might turn a blind eye
to what has actually been going on...

If it's something you want to get
started, we can certainly figure it out.

- We should.
- I'll do it with Horten.

Malm's situation
is tailor-made to test -

- how far the Horten lawyer
Nicolai Dyhr is willing to go.

Whether he is prepared to turn a blind eye
to systematic money laundering.

But first, we need to find
a so-called straw man -

- to take the fall for
Martin Malm and his partners.

This is a discipline with which
Amira has her own experience.

This is from your own archives.

Here is a folder
called "Various straw men".

People from countries like Lithuania. Denmark.

Health insurance card. Passport. Driver's license.
Who are all these people?

These are people
to be used as straw men.

I once had a client
who went down to the Men's Home -

- and then he offered them
a few thousand for their identity.

- Then you own them.
- And what do you do with them then?

Then you use their name
to have them join a company -

- where you create an invoice factory.
Or
you take out consumer loans, quick loans.

- Max out their creditworthiness?
- Yes.

How much
is a good straw man worth?

You can measure it in two things.
How much money you get out of him -

- and how much you yourself avoid
having to serve.

Because he is the one
who becomes the scapegoat?

If it weren't for straw men,
would you have been in prison -

- or maybe even be in prison?

Yes.

So there are people who have
taken the punishment, paid the price -

- that you should have paid?

Yes.

Martin Malm also has a bill
he'd rather not pay himself -

- if his money laundering
is discovered.

So now the hunt for
the perfect straw man has begun.

This is where the Bandidos biker
Jimmy's network comes into play.

So!

And he's the one
with the worst position?

- Yes.
He takes the whole rap.
- And what does he risk?

A prison sentence.
Maybe a year and three months.

Okay.
I thought it was worse.

What should his name be?
Can he be Pakistani -

- and not speak a word of Danish,
but he can speak English?

Yes, that's perfect,
because then he can't testify.

Okay. Cool. ID.

Health insurance, driver's license.

Health insurance.

Driver's license.

NemID? MitID?

What if I have someone for this...
He was in my club once.

He's not a member of the club anymore.
He has a job and stuff -

- but he probably owes some money
here and there.
Can we use him?

- Yes, yes.
- Great.

- Because I'm in control of him.
- He's been in jail before, right?

He knows what it's about.

If he messes up, you call me,
and I'll pick him up.

- That's just how it is.
- Yes. I'd rather not go to jail.

- That's why we're doing all this.
- None of us are going to.

Is it really no more than that?
I really thought... Okay.

- She's f*cking good.
- Yes.

Good that there is someone
who can speak the same language.

With Amira's very tangible
advice on straw men -

- it's as if the old ice queen
is showing her face.

We must therefore emphasize
the rules of the game for her:

She must not participate
in criminal activity -

- while she is working for us.

Well, the problem is just...

I have to talk about things with him.
He has a lot of paranoia.

He looks around. Closes the door.

If I don't come up with something
that incriminates me -

- then I can be called a snitch.
I have to. You must understand that.

If I don't say f*cked up things,
then I'm not credible.

I know
it's a fine line -

- but I have to be
at least a little bit involved.

If you look at the text message traffic
on your old phones -

- from when you were active,
messages like this pop up:

"Amira, just pay the money back.
Otherwise it won't be fun."

"Pay the money back
instead of stealing it from people."

"Wait and see. You have until 3 PM. If
you are not here, there will be chaos in your life -

- and I'll catch you. Pay the money."

Having so much cash
and so much power -

- it goes to your head.

So what I thought I would get,
was not what I got.

I could no longer
keep up with my agreements.

I couldn't do what
I promised people.

Things started to go wrong. I
started to owe a lot of money myself.

I can't keep track of
who is sitting in the hallway.

A receptionist has to send
one into a meeting room -

- and the other one out in the hallway
and the third one outside.

In the middle of it all, there's
just a completely ordinary woman -

- who needs an answer
about something with the Debt Agency.

- But you were making a lot of money.
- I was.

- That was your goal.
- Yes.

But how was it then
to have it fulfilled?

I was both stressed and paranoid
and destroyed inside -

- and had some wounds myself
that I didn't process and so on.

The day has come for Martin Malm
to meet with Nicolai Dyhr -

- to see if he can get his
fraudulent enterprise shut down -

- without any uncomfortable
questions being asked.

- Hi. Can you hear me?
- Yes, now I can.

Try to tell me,
what's the plan?

To get Martin to present
his companies to Nicolai -

- and get him to
come up with a solution.

The important thing is that it becomes
very clear from the meeting -

- that there has been invoice fraud
and money laundering in these companies -

- so we document that Nicolai Dyhr
hears all this, knows all this.

Yes.

- Wow.
- I thought we were having a fine visitor.

So I just wanted to make sure
there was something.

- Hi. Martin.
- Nicolai. Sorry for the delay.

I hate public transport. Sorry.
That thing with taking the metro.

- I'm slowly dying.
- Yes.

- Nice to meet you, Martin.
- Same here, thanks.

I wanted to put you two together,
because I know Nicolai well.

We have worked together, and Martin
I have a collaboration with now.

He has some challenges,
and we are speaking in a confidential space.

There is nothing
you can't tell.

- Now we are, at least.
- I'll close the door.

You've already closed it to the outside.
That's good.

So there is nothing
you can't tell Nicolai.

I have a small organization
of eight companies in total.

- Yes. Do you just want to liquidate it?
- I would prefer to have it liquidated.

Too many bad things have happened.

Yes.
So what I was thinking was -

- if you file a voluntary
bankruptcy petition -

- in Malm Group
and in Malm Consulting -

- what about your holding company?

- I want it completely gone.
- Yes.

The bank has blocked it, and they are writing to
the Tax Agency and SØIK. You know the procedure.

Danske Bank has been criticized
for underreporting.

So you have become one of those cases
they use to lift their...

My mother-in-law
works at Danske Bank and...

- I'll have a cup of coffee anyway.
- Yes, of course. Go right ahead.

He needs to know about
the fictitious invoices.

He has to cover it up,
so you have to bring it up.

- Because otherwise I'll lose him.
- Yes.

- Well.
- I have to be honest.

In the Malm Group there are invoices
that we can't quite account for.

So if the tax authorities go through the accounts,
you should know beforehand -

- that there's dirt in that company.

We have to be honest
with each other.

That's why the state prosecutor
shouldn't be the trustee.

It is said that
he should be in before the state prosecutor.

Yes.
If the state prosecutor comes in...

They are seen as
the public's representative, aren't they?

- They report to the police.
- They do it by the book.

But Dyhr is open to negotiation.
Is that how it should be understood?

- Yes.
- Yes.

What I did with the invoices
in Malm Group, it's well hidden.

I ran it through a system
called November First.

It looks like a transfer service.

So you have to be relatively sharp to
see that there has been anything at all.

Okay. Okay.
But I mean,
if it goes bankrupt first -

- and it gets shut down...
You need to know that.

The best thing from your point of view
is just to hand over an estate -

- that is a hole in the ground
and maybe a bit of a mess.

If it's too much of a mess,
you risk a bankruptcy quarantine.

If it's a bit of a mess,
and the debt isn't too large -

- then there will be
a superficial clean-up -

- and then it will be closed
within three to six months.

Once it's closed, then...
Yes, that's it.

But isn't that what we're
agreeing on for now, Martin?

I'll prepare those voluntary petitions.
Send them to you.

- Super.
- Yep.

Nice to meet you, Martin.
We'll talk, right?

Thanks for today, Amira.
Thanks for the cake. There goes the diet.

- You haven't even eaten it.
- Then you have some for the little one too.

- Those kids love cake.
- They do. See you.

Bye.

- Excellent.
- He's good. He's really good.

- I think it went great.
- Yes, I think so too.

There's news from Fasar.

After his failed attempt to
silence the witness -

- he has been on a
pilgrimage to Mecca.

He is now back in Pakistan.
The case has taken a turn.

- But what about that?
- There's nothing.

- Otherwise I wouldn't have come.
- Is he still hospitalized or?

No, no.
He died of a heart attack, they say.

Oh, okay. So there's no...?

No, it has resolved itself,
you could call it.

It's a bit cryptic, but Fasar's
Pakistani problem has been solved -

- now that the witness
has apparently had a heart attack.

Whether it's a natural
heart attack or not -

- the story doesn't say.

We have not had official sources
in Pakistan confirm the story.

On the other hand, several sources
tell us off the record -

- that they are aware
of Fasar's trial -

- but that it has now been dropped.

This is completely insane.
This is really...

I said
they would get some when some came.

I didn't know
that there had been one time.

The mood at Amira's office
is "pointing downwards" this Thursday.

Martin Malm had otherwise received


- through the lawyer Lise Roulund.

Money that the Bandidos biker
Jimmy thought -

- that Malm would use to
pay his debt to Frankie -

- and the others with connections
to the biker club Satudarah.

I had promised those people
that they would get it next time some came.

Before Jimmy found out that the money
had arrived, Malm used it -

- to plug other holes.

Therefore, cracks are appearing
in the odd couple's partnership.

I'll just put this out.

I had expected to
be told things as they were.

You didn't tell me that the money
had arrived. That's a big problem.

- I'm pretty sure I did.
- I haven't been told.

I meet with them twice
a week. I've told you that.

The first money that
comes in, they're supposed to have.

Everything will shut down
if I can't keep my word.

It's already a problem
with the long-haired guy.

He thinks we're cheating him.
Which we kind of have.

In principle, it's said
that he's looking out for you.

Now it looks like he's getting something
out of it. That's not good for him.

But we still have
to declare it bankrupt.

It's just... I've been
in this for almost 15 years.

These are perfectly normal mechanisms
that come into play from the street.

- Because then...
- We need to find a solution.

If you think the situation can't
get any worse for Martin Malm -

- then you're wrong.
Because it can.

When Jimmy says there are problems
with "the long-haired one" -

- it's Fasar he's talking about.

He apparently also has
a score to settle with Malm.

Hello, buddy?
Just look at
where you stand, you little bum.

You borrowed money from me.
He said
I would get it in 26 days.

I just want my money,
and I f*cking lent him the money.

Amira,
you shouldn't fall into anyone's trap.

Be careful. That little b*stard
says: "She advised me."

- No, no, no.
- I just want my money.

You can tell them
that we'll take it together first.

I have my colleague...
She's also very easy to talk to.

I have another one named...
He's a bit more rigid, right?

What do you mean, there's a
colleague who's easy to talk to?

This is loose talk.

I'm invited in by Amira
for a kind of beauty contest.

She makes no secret to
me that she has a good network.

I'm trying
to win her trust.

She's fishing for something where I
can build up a trust with her.

So I say something, which is loose talk,
about my colleagues.

I have a great team.
What we deliver when we get the cases -

- it's completely within
the framework of the law, and it's very good.

You say: "I have one who is easy to
talk to, and one who is rigid."

That's right, of course. I can
feel that's what she's fishing for.

- How can you tell?
- It's in the whole atmosphere.

So that... that...
It may sound strange.

But it makes absolutely no difference.

You say some things that allow
you to get assignments for Horten.

Yes.
For me, it's about
creating a good relationship with Amira -

- and then, frankly, to lure
her clients into the eel trap.

The eel trap, what does that mean?

It's a term I've learned
as a trustee over many years.

It's about
building a good trust with people.

It's about
getting some material out of them.

The next thing you talk about,
is the Michelin restaurant Kadeau.

- The wine cellar was gone.
- It can happen.

Then I got in touch with them.
Then it came back again.

But the bottles
didn't quite match the lists.

What you're saying here is that as
a trustee, you have covered up a wine theft.

Not at all. There has never
been a theft. It's hot air.

I'm only saying it
because I know -

- that it's the kind of remarks
Amira is fishing for -

- to win my trust.

- Are you making it up on the spot?
- Yes, actually.

It's an attempt to lure her,
make yourself interesting -

- spread your peacock feathers
and get customers in the shop.

That's right. It's a
working method, and I'm doing my job.

I thought
we'd move on to the next one.

What you do then is, we prepare
and submit a voluntary petition.

Then we call someone called...

Amira explains to them -

- that the valuation should not
be particularly high.
Frankly.

What I'm actually saying
is -

- that if a company goes bankrupt,
and assets need to be sold afterwards -

- then it's a good idea
to have it appraised -

- by a professional
independent appraisal firm.

For you as a trustee,
isn't it in your interest -

- that it's appraised highly?
Why should it be appraised low?

That's what Amira is asking for.
She says so down in the reception.

- How does she say it?
- I have nothing to do with it.

But she says it on her way in
the door when I greet her.

When we do
these hidden recordings -

- we start the hidden recording
from the curb.

So we have that passage in.
And do you mean -

- that she tells in the reception
that things should be valued low?

I can't remember. Was it
two years ago? A year and a half ago?

You said it was in the reception.
Maybe it wasn't?

- I don't recall that.
- Let's move on to the next one.

What I did with the invoices
in Malm Group, it's well hidden.

So you have to be relatively sharp to
see that there has been anything at all.

The best thing from your side -

- is just to hand over an estate
that is a hole in the ground.

What do you mean,
when you say to Martin Malm -

- that the best thing is
to hand over a hole in the ground?

I'm just humoring him,
and that's what he wants.

He hasn't said anything
about a hole in the ground.

It's in the context.

I'm trying to win his trust to
hand over the bankruptcy estate to me.

Is it your job to advise
him to hand over a hole in the ground?

I'm not advising anyone.

I understand that
it sounds strange or odd.

I'm humoring them.
That's how it works.

Is that how
all trustees do it in Denmark?

Many trustees would do it that way.

I told you something.
You decide which way we go.

I'll crush you.

Fasar is looking for me.
"It's really bad with F."

"Turn off your phone
and keep the office closed."

You have to come up with something.

The people who are sh**ting each other
now, it's because of 5 kg of hash.

When you're in a situation like that,
you can't think clearly.

We completely agree.

Either it gets resolved,
or it goes like this.

At the same time, we have to make sure
that he doesn't end up in jail.
