German police raid suspected hawala banking ring
2019-11-20
[DW] German authorities watched the suspected illegal banking operation for a year before their raid. The suspects are accused of running an illegal hawala banking system between Germany and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...

German authorities have carried out a raid on an organized international network suspected of illegally transferring millions of euros to Turkey.
Why Turkey?
Police searched about 60 apartments and offices in Tuesday's early-morning raids across Germany. Officers say 27 people are suspected of being involved in the scheme; six arrest warrants have been issued.

#6  And often, officials will do a splendid job only to get the suspects into a room to negotiate an understanding, if you know what I mean.

It's true there are no more Eliot Ness types in higher office today. Just a bunch of McCabes and Strzoks.

#4  Because it takes time to get all the evidence, the addresses and accounts, Chris. By any estimate, one year of investigation and getting a conviction on even half the operators is a top notch job.
