Peruse the super yachts of global criminal and Thaksin fixer, Benjamin Mauerberger.
South African criminal Benjamin Mauerberger is on the radar of global investigators after we reported he's running a $1.5 billion dirty Cambodian money network protected by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The scale of this money-laundering operation is hard to believe, and investigators in the U.S., Thailand and Singapore are poring through documents, as they look for assets to seize. On the radar is this collection of luxury yachts bought with the proceeds of money connected to Cambodia (a haven for money launderers, drug barons, scam center operators, and human traffickers).
The first three super yachts Mauerberger controls for the enjoyment of himself, Thaksin, secret Cambodian partner Yim Leak, and the many Chinese VIPs whose money they wash. The final yacht, Red Sapphire, was recently sold and rebranded (so won't be seized).
Watch this space as Whale Hunting tracks the assets of this audacious crime.
