Summary
Mar 16, 2024 05:30 Iztok Plevnik: Where did the money go? Iztok Plevnik led counterterrorism teams to retrieve evidence and to capture people around the world under indictment in the ICC. In 2017, his team found stash houses with pallets of American currency – notably, one with $6 billion and another with $10 billion in $100 bills. When Iztok tried to bring the money back to the US, the American Embassy turned on him, and he was arrested by the local authorities, jailed, beaten, and eventually expelled. Just weeks later, American government officials who were supposed to help him retired with new houses and new cars. On this episode of The Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with Iztok Plevnik’s attorney, Bruce Fein, about this nightmarish experience.
