This is our last day together as the Wyoming High School Class of 2013. Tomorrow morning we will all belong to another class, another job or another city for his mother and father, he was the perfect son, how proud were you of Otto? He really he was pr, you know he's a firstborn, what can I say? Everyone knows that you have a special bond with your firstborn. He came into his own in late 2015. Otto had some free time. Before starting an internship on Wall Street, at the suggestion of one of his college professors, a 21-year-old booked a five-day trip with a tour group to the world's most secret state.

What do you think the world needs to know? about North Korea? It is the scariest place in the world. Canadian Sarah Mclaughlin is a teacher, but for five days in Pyongyang she was one of Otto Warmbier's closest travel companions. he has never revealed the inside story of that trip until now the details written in his diary we left on saturday morning and otto was held still trying to figure out why ready, okay, ready to fuck me this is the last footage taken of otto before As the group boarded their plane back home, Otto found himself at the back of the line, suddenly the guards grabbed him and left. .
We were trying to protest and not get on the plane yet to wait for Otto and there were about three of us. And uh, the officers with machine guns made us get on the plane. I guess if a guy with a gun tells you you have to get on the plane, there's no argument. He had never experienced fear like that before everyone on the plane was. just in complete silence no one wanted to leave and we had no choice north korea accused otto of trying to steal a propaganda poster from a restricted area in his hotel accused of subversion he was dragged before the

to do what his parents insist was a confession mounted on The early morning of January 1, 2016, I committed my crime in retrospect.
It's tragic what my son went through. It's tragic. He was used as a political pawn. A hostage. Everybody knows. It is absurd to think anything different. I beg everyone and the DPR government. korea, please forgive me, i have made the worst mistake of my life, the north korean regime showed no mercy two weeks after his confession, otto warmbier was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor he disappeared into korea's notorious prison system north, had been mentally brutalized by them. physically, emotionally and spiritually and when that guard pushed otto out the door, think about when that door closes and he's alone with those bastards, think about that, that's what haunts me.
The only evidence the North Koreans had of Otto's crime was this grainy and inconclusive surveillance footage coming from a security camera in his hotel and you can clearly see the time stamp: 1:57 a.m. m. on New Year's Day, but according to others on the tour, Otto wasn't even at the hotel at that time, so this shadowy figure may simply not be him, that vision has a timestamp. Your group had been at a New Year's Eve party in the hours before. Even if you returned to the hotel, then no, the time did not match at all. I remember coming back. to the hotel around 3 a.m. m., not at all before 2 a.m. m., so it's not even close to 2 a.m. m., you're saying that it was more than an hour after that video was supposedly filmed that you and Otto returned to the hotel to correct, everything about the whole story was made up.
In my opinion, Fred and Cindy Warmbier say their son was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are convinced that his arrest was a carefully calibrated act and directly linked to North Korea's weapons program. That's when North Korea started firing missiles, nuclear weapons and using otto it's kind of like their I don't know what you would call it their prize their American prize to rub it in the face of the United States what they were doing just a few days after Otto Out captured North Korea conducted its first nuclear test in three years followed by the launch of a long-range missile Tensions with the rest of the world suddenly reached an all-time high and Otto became Pyongyang's human shield against any international reaction north korea does nothing by mistake it was their fourth nuclear weapon test and they had a lot of things they wanted to cover and they felt that otto was going to provide them with the security they needed to get away with it after the tests, the united nations imposed the toughest sanctions in history that banned the

trade

in everything from weapons. to luxury goods, but as you will see, North Korea has been circumventing the embargo through a secret network of helpers and facilitators.
It's a network that has now been infiltrated and exposed in the most spectacular way by the most unlikely people: it's been undercover for 10 years, which I can't recommend to anyone, but I did it and I'm proud of it. Now I'm an unemployed chef living in Denmark, but for 10 years he was the mole, an amateur spy who worked his way into the depths of the North Korean regime. In your wildest dreams you've thought you'd become some sort of secret double agent exposing international arms races. Not at all when I was a kid, I always wanted to be James Bond, but I never expected that to happen in real life.
Ulrich's undercover agent. The mission began when he joined his local branch of the Korean Friendship Association, or KFA, a fringe group of fanatic supporters of the Kim dynasty determined to expose the group's inner workings. He joined forces with maverick Danish documentary filmmaker Mads Brugger and became the mole when Ulrich came to you and said he wanted to work on this deep in his heart. Did he think this guy was wasting his time and mine? Well, frankly, yes, initially I had no idea where this would lead. What weighed was a spy thriller beyond the wildest. dreams of a murky world of weapons theft and sanctions, all captured on camera Alexander, it's a pleasure to see you again, I'm very happy to always be here, you know, for three years, Ulrich filmed everything until he became a trusted lieutenant from the founder of KFA and president Alejandro Carl de Benos, a Spaniard known as the guardian of North Korea who boasts of having high-level ties to Kim Jong-un, if North Korea is attacked nuclearly by the United States, the world will end as expected.
We know Alejandro, he is well known 60

away in the country. They are our fathers, the fathers of the nation and the fathers of our ideology. He was our guide when we visited the lonely state in 2015 with his military uniform and his unwavering loyalty to the most brutal dictator in the world. world of which he has always been a disconcerting character but for Mads Brugger he became something much more sinister is Alejandro Caldebenos in your mind someone who is trustworthy he in my opinion is a criminal and should be treated like a criminal Alejandro wants to help Korea from the north to make money so he asks Ulrich if he knows anyone who wants to invest in the country, it is the perfect opportunity for the mole to expose how they do their dubious businesses.
He brings in an actor to play the role of Mr. James, a mysterious billionaire investor, and

cameras are recording as they meet. With Alejandro Carl de Venos it was very clear that Alejandro wanted to open the doors to a very dark world for you, yes, well, he wanted to sell us weapons through the North Koreans and he learned about amphetamine, we are under very, very strong sanctions, as you know. of the united nations, so we have a parallel way of doing things, we are developing things in a pharmaceutical industry that are prohibited in any other country in the world, it is basically the same as methamphetamine, it is a methamphetamine for the drug market, the weapons are actually our main, but The problem is weapons at the moment the United States is very subject, but weapons we can build submarine factories, we can bring time, missile factories, all the meetings with the DPRK I just said that I can provide you with all types of contacts directly with state companies or any other. department or ministry in the country when I saw that I thought, you know, this is remarkable, but can it be true or is Alando just bluffing and lo and behold, everything that Elrando has promised, you know, happens at the insistence of Alejandro, Ulrich and his fake investor fly to north korea? where they are taken to a basement on the outskirts of Pyongyang Ulrich is terrified that his covert ruse has worked, that is surely the moment when you start to wonder if this is the end for me, yes I was really scared, but incredibly he found in the bowels. from a weapons factory where their president is ready to make a deal, it's almost unbelievable to see it unfold, but clearly this is how the North Koreans do business, suddenly they brought out this whole menu of weapons and weapons systems and I was walking with my camera and I said, "This is, this is not happening, what was there, well, they were Scottish missiles, uh, thermobaric missiles, handguns, tanks, really big missiles and well, pretty much everything you want, from weapons to start a war, which you can buy as you discover the The North Koreans are willing to sell quite sophisticated and extremely dangerous weapons systems to basically anyone, even private individuals, and you have to wonder what happens when the real Mr.
James comes to Pyongyang while the mole and his investor were closing a arms deal. Little did they know, that American student Otto Warmbier was being held just a few miles away, the worst part was when we were driving through Pyongyang and they treated us like royalty. um otto was in a basement somewhere being tortured. It makes me sad to think about what happened to Otto and what could have happened to me during 15 traumatic months? Otto's parents, Fred and Cindy, knew nothing about their son's well-being. They were told not to make noise so as not to disturb the regime for fear of endangering Otto's safety.
It was really difficult. Through this, with family filling our feelings and not being able to deal with anything during all that time, the North Koreans told us that he was in perfect health, the CIA, our state department, that he is in perfect health. , who is working at a camp all his time. Intelligence tells them that if he was begging for help, we will never know during those dark days. The Warmbiers never gave up hope that their son would return toa safe place. Hang in there, tiger boy, you'll come home and don't worry about us, but. stay strong, stay strong and we will be fine as a family as soon as you get home, but even in your worst nightmares you could never have imagined the circumstances under which at the direction of the president, the state department secured otto's release.
Warmbier from North Korea is on her way home to meet his family. Fred and Cindy discovered that for 15 of the months his son had spent in captivity he had been in a coma with a catastrophic brain injury. He came home blind and deaf. shaking violently and howling we saw evil in his eyes, he had seen terrible things and he had been reduced to this animal creature that he couldn't hug and couldn't get a feeling back from and it was just horrible, but I'll tell you what he does, it's a motivator because you go through it and you say, otto, I'm, I'm here for you and you came home, and we're going to do it, we're not going to let these people do it. far from what they knitted you but it was horrible it was just horrible otto could never tell his side of the story he died just six days later since Then his parents have set out to expose the evil of North Korea to the world.
The easy thing would be for me to let North Korea continue to terrorize me by staying silent and doing nothing. That would be the easy thing, but I'm determined to do it. His life has a great impact on the world, you might think that the North Korean threat is a problem in another country, but as you will see, they have been arrested trying to do business here in Australia, they have spent years secretly filming Alejandro Carl de Benos . welcome to the bunker thanks exposing their

clandestine

work closing deals for North Korea the idea is to make um met amphetamine and what weapons but in one of their final meetings when they talk about the business never use those words again, okay, oryx's mission almost Alejandro arrives, he gets scared and takes out a bug detector if you have a microphone or something like that, okay, you'll make the signal, okay, he's panicking, but he manages to think quickly to cover his tracks.
I had a car key, uh, I rented a car and I had that in a little bag on the table and I tried to focus his attention on that bag and he bought it, this is my remote control, okay, so it was sending the signal, I swept it many times, we have nothing, please, the team. It's a size cooler personally I would have knelt down and started screaming, you know, please don't kill me. Documentary filmmaker Mads Brugger says that Alejandro's paranoia is understandable, he is a sanctions coordinator, he is coordinating the purchase and sale of weapons, producing drugs, etc. so in my opinion he is a criminal and should not be trusted in any way.
North Korea has dismissed the mole as a total fabrication, but there is no doubt that it has shed light on a murky and disturbing world given the extraordinary revelations one might think of. alejandro caldebenos I would be a little shy in front of the camera Alejandro, are you happy to start? Yes, but when we asked him for an interview, he was more than willing to oblige. I do not care what anyone else says. If I care what other people say, I won't be sitting here. From time to time, the conversation turns to North Korea's desperate financial situation when it comes to these international sanctions, how damaging they have been to the North Korean economy.
Dbrk is the most sanctioned country in the world, so we could say that things are more difficult to import. It's harder to export, but they still find a way, and when we turned to his own starring role in The Mole, he insisted that the documentary makers were the ones being fooled. He has been heavily involved in international arms and drug deals. He was a embarrassed? I see the images coming out, no, there are some people who wanted to frame us and what we did was actually frame them. What do you mean by that? I won't give the trash any more publicity, but I said we had a plan, but we don't.
It doesn't look good, I mean, you're there arguing about weapons, you're there arguing about drugs, you're bragging about how you can make deals with Kim Jong-un's men, that wasn't the reason I came here for the interview, Thank you very much and See you another time. I can see you there. What is your objection? We just want to receive your response. Alejandro left the building. Yes. Alejandro responded to your documentary and said that he actually set a trap for you and your team. Yes, it is very interesting. I think if Alejandro was playing along and knew we were secretly filming him, that would make my documentary even more interesting.
Do you think you've destroyed his business model? I hope so, but North Korea's criminal network extends all over the world. Even here in Australia, amidst the skyscrapers and suits of Sydney's CBD, this is a very unexpected site, a passionate group of North Korean sympathizers freaking out over the apparent achievements of Kim Jong-un's regime. You see, the capitalist regime knows that its efforts to wage its cold war. unity against north korea but there is another man they are also here to support his name is chan han choi a north korean loyalist and it is the first day of a trial for him in the supreme court of new south wales they are the only reason why which The Australian regime finally had to grant Choi bail last November.
The joyous nature of the demonstration outside the court belies the seriousness of the charges facing the 62-year-old accused of violating United Nations sanctions by brokering the sale of missiles and oil on behalf of Pyongyang. It is extraordinary to think that such an elaborate international operation was coordinated from this humble apartment complex in Eastwood, in the Sydney suburbs, but it is from here that police first alleged that Choi was working as a middleman in deals for weapons of mass destruction. and selling gasoline from Iran to North Korea. They even claimed that Choi would boast to his contacts that he had connections to Kim Jong-un himself.
I want everyone to have more of the right to leave. Look, thank you all for coming. Look today, I'm going to give you some details in relation to an AFP cyber crime operation investigation that took place here in Sydney which exposed serious breaches of national and international law. Chan Han Choi was arrested in an AFP raid on his home in 2017. This man was a loyal North Korean agent who believed he was acting to serve some higher patriotic purpose, I think at the end of the day he would sell everything he could to recover money for the North Korean government.
The defendant was initially locked up in Long Bay Prison, from where he continued to telephone fellow North Korean supporters. uniting the cause and denouncing international laws. I firmly believe that the United Nations economic sanctions in Moscow against North Korea are fair and comparable. The trial against the modest Korean began at the beginning of this year, but after several days of evidence he ended up pleading guilty to the charges. for contravening un sanctions by brokering the sale of weapons and gasoline on behalf of north korea now faces up to 10 years behind bars i am proud of

australia

the way to change north korea's behavior is to challenge them under the rule of law they're committing illegal acts and we know it and our government knows it, but they should help be held responsible since the death of their son.
Otto Fred and Cindy Warmbier have been on their own mission to tighten the screws on North Korea and the regime's enablers abroad. The pressure has led the United States to declare North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism and there have been other successes in closing the money trail that underpins Kim Jong-un's regime. Thank you for asking us to talk because it's been five years since I've seen Otto since then. since then no one has forgotten it yet and i just want to tell north korea as long as i'm alive no one will forget what you did to otto i won't leave them i won't go away and in this for a long time, i'm just waiting patiently because the day will come when that regime will end and I will not be happy, then there is nothing that can make me happy, but I will be relieved.
We are both very proud parents, but I have to say that I think Otto would be very proud of you two, no more than I am of him. Otto was murdered. He was murdered. They murder people every day. And that's why I say, how can I be calm? I know Otto would be like mom. I don't want you to do this if he's going to hurt you and not hurt me. He doesn't hurt me. He is helping me.
