The world’s most dangerous arms dealer | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2023
- He’s a key figure in the clandestine wranglings of two superpowers: the United States and China. The FBI announced a five-million-dollar bounty for information leading to his arrest. Intelligence agencies and investigators have been trying for decades to stop him in his tracks: the arms dealer Karl Lee.
The Chinese businessman has helped Iran develop its huge missiles arsenal. Missiles that kill in the Middle East, that are supplied to Russia for possible deployment in Ukraine and have the potential to carry nuclear warheads. The documentary is the first to tell the story of the hunt for the phantom-like Karl Lee, alias Li Fangwei, probably the world’s most dangerous weapons dealer. He’s been indicted in absentia in the US and American presidents have even personally asked Beijing to take action against him. But his network continues to be active; and he’s still high up on the FBI’s most-wanted list. And this, at a time when missiles and nuclear warheads are becoming a tangible threat to humanity.
The documentary follows Karl Lee’s trail across four continents, from Washington and New York to Tel Aviv, from Europe to Teheran, Beijing and Karl Lee’s factory in northeastern China. The prize-winning investigative journalists Philipp Grüll, Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer provide unique insights into the world of spy agencies and diplomacy. At the same time, the film is a lesson in the powerlessness of the West and the rise of China - as well as an unflinching appraisal of the new world order.

Uncle Sam is clearly jealous, most Americans know that Uncle Sam is the largest arms dealer in the world.
Or maybe he works for uncle Sam...
Can't let fools be stepping on our turf yo'
This comment is probably from some liberal in the West who hates the West despite profiting from Western society and stability. If you don’t like it then go move to Iran or China.
Well. Legally. Obviously. This isnt the jab you think it is
@@lu-bo6yhlegally? 🤣🤣 in their own demented american world only. obviously you are mentality challenged. 😂😂
5 Million dollars to snitch on one of the most dangerous people in the world seems incredibly cheap to me.
You and I think the same 5M😊😊😊
How much you need?
Bro 5 million is more than enough to live a lifetime 😂 n it ain't like u doing hella work to do it.

If I were Carl Lee, I would really enjoy watching this documentary. Thank you DW!
Or maybe it is me, I guess we will never know.
But ur one hungry mtf :))
No ! 😂 as his profile becomes more public his days are numbered .
Hi, Carl
Funny that this guy did exactly what all weapons companies do. But he just sold things to someone the government did not like.
Weapon companies sell to stable and allied nations who wouldnt attack the United States or other Nato countries. This guy sold to a country dead set on nuking Israel.
Big difference bud.
Nope
It's also the reason why the US felt so threatened. It's main business is war and destruction in other nations.
Yeah just like for the ones they call terro.rists …
This is another Bin laden case. They lied about knowing him but we now know that during 911 he was in America. This guys are just lying to us to ensure they can go to war
“He is an individual, who exists.”
Craazzy
translation this is probably bs propaganda
omg!
Propaganda
Truth is scary
.
We live in a society
I love how they just blurted out, braggingly, that Morgenthau was deeply promoting Israeli interest as a NY prosecutor.
Agreed, the most interesting aspect of this documentary is how a prosecutor from New York works on behalf of the Mossad and deploys his subordinates to serve the Mossad as well, all while bypassing the federal government for secretive meetings/travels. That's pretty illegal and near treason when you think about it for a few minutes.
@@sadaksara i think the issue comes down to priority. If these transaction crimes were given special priority then two things need to be answered. Why and at what cost. Regardless of who or what, I think it should be fair to expect government officials always have their constituents priorities as their own. Straying from that shouldn't go without a second glace.
Sus
The US is the puppet of Israelis.
the idea that America sees some random dude as the worlds most dangerous arms dealer is just staggering.
like hello America. you are the world most dangerous arms dealer.
Exactly what I thought.
@@Orwellian-Purple-Grapes-1984 his timing was horrrible. after 9/11 you don't give iran missles to hit tel aviv after 9/11. it was an absolute nonstarter. remember we had homeland security giving out warnings based offf colors of how likely an attack would happen. it was a different time.
To America, the only dangerous arms dealers are those who deal with their enemies. In other words, there are like any other country.
what if you are
Isn't it strange that amrica can commit mass war crimes and secretly sell drugs and weapons all around the world but if someone else does this "they need to be brought to justice " crazy that isn't it?
Can't have competition stepping on your turf. The Brits are no different. They'll use arms dealers to get around their own arms export laws.
So well said
When you are the last super power, create the currency of choice, and have a hand in most military coups, that is an accomplishment. It means you can make the rules regarding definition of terrorism, illicit drugs, war crimes and WMD and proliferation, but don't apply them to yourself.
Isn't just the USA my friend 😂. USA is just the most recent super power in terms of history.
they're all doing it mate, anyone that can make and supply such things will keep doing it, and of course they would grandstand their "morality" as well.
They seized $7 million of his money but only offering $5 million for his capture. Someone is $2 million richer 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm with you on this.
Someone got paid!!😂😂
If that were the case they would not have stated $7 million. More like seized $10 million but only publicly acknowledged $7 million lmao

"we just sat there all night, drinking beers, doing lines"

That "The number you've dialed is not in service" at the end gave me goosebump,god only knows what really happened in this whole ordeal
Really? Are you really that clueless? he became a problem, and was promptly "dealt with", without compromising the Iranian arms dealing network.
I can uderstand about the goosebumps. What really happened is so clear. He was so good, so exceptionally good at exporting these goods by way of beating/overcoming the US Banks, People & Processes in place that are supposed to stop and catch these illicit deals with Iran;- that it escalated all the way up to US/Chinese presidential levels and he became an embarrisment for Xi. What you can pick up from this documentary is: It is pretty clear that the Chinese are turning a blind eye to these dealer networks with Iran. This one was dealth with only because it lasred for years and finally escalated to Presidetial. That is China for you.
@@politicalfoolsandhorses absolutely, I concur with this sentiment It's quite obvious and the whole "mystery man behind the curtain" thing DW tried to do with the ending was just kind of pathetic, It's pretty obvious what happened here.
Those 3 letter agencies definitely found where he was. Then Lee Fung Wei woke up too see those same 12 guys in his house that Bin Laden saw.
The 'double standards' on display does make me chuckle.
yes if USA doing it is good if others it is bad. Hope that degenerate states collapse on it is own degeneracy
Hilarious
It's nice to see this comment here. It's interesting how they consider the population as complete idiots.
You know the drill. If its us then it's good😅
the irony coming from the world's largest arms selling country😂
Something so secretive and so elusive. No way an individual is able to do this. More like a government or secret service behind the whole thing. The guy is like his companies, just a shell.
Mossad, talpiot program, unit 8200. They even control our cia.
Damn i didn’t think about that ! maybe ur right, who knows. it’s a shame that we ll never really find out.
Exactly. No way a citizen can get that much access of missiles and transport them anywhere.
Wonder who he knows back home. Gotta be pretty connected to be this sly. He's definitely working for the ccp no question about it
Absolutely. In China, you cannot legally own firearms, so does anyone really believe that a random Chinese individual would be able to get inside arms dealing, and not just any arms dealing but WMD dealing? This man is working for the Chinese government, without any doubt. And why would any Chinese official "care"? Iran is an important partner for Beijing to form an Axis against the West, and supplying ballistic missile technology to Tehran is likely a decision made by the top leadership in Beijing. Don't expect any cooperation.
Brilliant episode .. had me captivated all the way through.
This is extremely intriguing international power struggle story. My take is Karl Lee is a China state operated arms supplier for Iran plain and simple. Whether who is/was Karl Lee is immaterial other than. it was created to make its enemies run around in circles while China continue to aid Iran to further its interests.
Amazing documentary by DW as always.
I suspect the Chinese missile program also benefited from this trade.
very interesting take on it but Iran isn't showing anything close to the sophistication of China. China is surely keeping their assistance at arms reach. I'm just curious about what evidence there is. As far as there not being many pictures of this guy, I know many people who have been online (ok like 4 ppl) and there isn't photo's of them online. When you are privacy adept it's not that difficult..
Really? Wow!@@FighterFlash
Who knows? maybe Karl Lee probably is now happily retiring somewhere near Tehran with a beautiful Persian girl.
Carl Lei is like Confucius, he is not one person, he is a montage and composite of 10 people.
AKA, the Chinese Communist Party , I'll bet.
Yes and all from the Middle East not China! 🤫🤔
what? Confucius was one person.
I wanna see a movie about that.
@@hzhang1228 Confucianism is kind of the tale from Confucius's direct students.
Someone bigger than Carl Li is behind all this. Li is just a pawn.
💯
Or he doesn't even exist
Likely
Or not. You could be right, you could be wrong.
there is only a government sector in prc. li fangwei can only be the public end of an official program. any visible information is part of a story officially installed for the use of others.
Hats off to you DW. This documentary is tremendously immersive, intriguing and intuitive. On a par with the James bond movie.
Just unbelievable! Thanks for sharing
We should be the sole supplier of weapons and only we decide who should receive it. That's the attitude of the u.s. and that's what I've got from this whole documentary.
yep
One things I expect when am watch DW documentaries is perfection and accuracy in the provided information. It is very good documentary.
The Israeli military guy Jonathon is the same guy in the video of the weapons found behind the mri in the Hospital in Gaza. Pretty wild, I get he’s a spokesperson but it leaves you wondering about the how authentic every other video he is in.
Just scratching the surface brother. It’s curious to me that person who led the search for this elusive fugitive is AG Morganthau iii, who dispatched his deputy Kauffman to Mossad to learn more about the fugitive. Oh and yes, Morganthau Jr (Father of AG) worked as Treasury Sec for Roosevelt and was instrumental in the founding of the state of Israel
Mmhm the more you know
USS liberty
Do a research of the lies, false flags and misinformation they are responsible for. America tax dollars are being wasted on that stolen country.
These are not independent “documentaries”. These are misinformation campaigns disguised as documentary with very specific agenda. DW is currently one the most sophisticated propaganda machines.
as soon as i heard his part i had to turn off the video, pathetic to use any israeli goverment official as a source. Might aswell just asked iran if this is true and end the documentary when they say it is not true.
DW has been rocking the documentary genre in the recent years. Great stuff, very informative!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
No not some much they’ve been going along the propaganda all along
I'm from the usa dw is one of my news sources to get outside of the usa bubble along with ruetors ap PBS and others
@@TheRussianMaster, that's what Xi said.
You are a foolish to think this piece of propaganda is a "document"!

Can we give a big applause to the correspondent in China? How was he able to get away with what he did without being alerted by the Chinese Government. This documentary is very well put together. Thank you!
There had to be some kind of agreement. They will have already seen this video by now.
Well said, but who runs DW, to get so much information to the public and the journalists to get away with it and their presence in a police state like China, leaves a lot to be desired. If information involves the Mossad, you are dead meat. How did they come up with his face in the first place?

😂😂😂same same
You right
I think of Donald Rumsfeld and Tony Blair in terms of talk. It’s a broad term.
What i took from this documentary is that a colleague in london has been able to gain more information then all the intelligence agencies around the world.
Great production. Approaching such a complex story and deliver a very well balanced narrative without bias is no feat. Find it funny at the how none of the institutions made a comment.
I am surprised that successive USA Administration did not realize China was working through Karl Lee and wasn't interested in stopping him. They should have understood plausible deniability.
I agree! Either he is a fiction as a diversion or China recalled him and the US is keeping silent ! Just a thought! No accountability! It makes sence. Thats what happens when folks like us gets together and we create a think tank in rethinking. Its the way to process! Thank you!
Lmao, imagine thinking yourself smarter than hundreds of profesional intelligence agents, analysts, diplomats and governments officials. Like yeah congratulations @yornelhill7188, you did it, YOU just solved the case lol.
Thing is even CIA needs to prove it in court. its a slow process
@@a.j.c.908 you're being sarcastic right?
@a.j.c.908 they know bro... u think they don't.
Now these are the sort of documentaries I like on youtube, there used to be loads like it and youtube purged them years back. This was super interesting!
yeah, pure propaganda that's what you call a ducumentary? like when she asked herself " who is the man who plunged the middle east into chaos ? everybody knows their name ...clinton, Bush, obama, biden...not hard to find them, everybody knows that united states is the sole country that has turned the middle east into a powder keg.

No criminal with a higher bounty...except for the previous biggest arms dealer Victor Bout, "The Merchant of Death." whom they just traded back to Russia.
😂They have arms dealers all over yet they complain about one
Bout actually did contract work for State department or DoD. Karl Lee appears to deal exclusively with Iran and never worked for the US.
For a basketball player. Woke Trade
Viktor is no criminal, just a business man. The real criminal is the GOVERNMENT and the Intelligence agencies that control global weapons, drug and human slave trade.

So let me get this straight, this Chinese businessman just sell his products which you can buy anywhere and can be sold to any individual. This is crazy because Iranians can buy this material from some other places. I feel like this thing is blown out of proportion.
Except I'm wrong, or didn't understand the documentary.
Yeap he is just a guy risking it enough to sell to Iran coz no one does coz they fear Israel n America
@@8-.-8God bless you. This isn't unexpected of any western hypocrisy. They are the only humans others are less.
They can sell.weapon to Isreal to bomb Palestinians, but Iran can't buy weapons.
What made this situation special was its elusive nature. The fact that they have never "officially" found the person who was behind so many shell companies is what makes it intriguing. It's more than just a random person selling "products which you can buy anywhere".
@@8-.-8 , that's what Xi said

Can’t remember anything about it. But it meant a lot to him. It was probably the only instance of innocence he displayed. Definition of PTSD.

Great propaganda, the west realize that China is about to go on top and they're looking for any means to spread propaganda so they can say China supports Terrorism by supporting Iran. The ballistic missiles program is complete anyway so get over it. China will be number 1 country globally. China at least wants to only do business in particular in Africa and Middle East.

Hitler's biggest weapon was carefully choreographed propaganda. DW is carrying on the tradition, with equal censorship and bias. How about a documentary on the hordes of muslims setting up shop in Germany and how that is affecting German culture? How about how US soldiers still occupy Germany and German government pays for them? How about how lack of cheap Russian gas is about to destroy German economy. Germans broke their treaty then only because they needed fossil fuels from Russia. Germans again broke their treaty with Russia (according to Merkel) but this time under orders from USA.
Nope, DW will not cover these topics. The Third Reich was very good at picking their topics too. 😂
LOL ... no wonder why there are so many brainwashed zombies 🤣🤣🤣
Nice presentation DW. I urge the the crew to investigate inside the team. You never know😅

And Russia supplying Cuba and Vietnam with weapons. China supplying North Korea. It just goes around and around. At the end of the day you just want the countries with responsible and transparent governments to be the holders of such arms.

my suspicion is that Carl was basically to China what the Wagner group and Prigozhin were to Russia, a state sanctioned entity that provided a degree of deniability to their operations that were in opposition to the official treaties and international agreements that China had on the surface agreed to but they were using him to pursue their actual international goals and policy. Once he had outlived his usefulness and the international community were getting too close to the truth they made him disappear. He could have been assassinated, in a remote prison etc. the other possibility as mentioned is that he was turned by some intelligence organisation and became their asset.
So you really don't think this guy is walking around in China free somewhere?
He is in prison or spy for China in Iran
He's most likely been taking out@@LutherMahoney
Kudos DW for presenting what jounalism is supposed to be.
I thought the CIA held that title.
Are the 5k dislikes exclusively Chinese bots?
DW Docs are so well put together and detail rich. I watch them once, then listen to them again when working
Same here!!!
You are a foolish to think this piece of propaganda is a "document"!
e.x. 2:20 ".. who among others, helped Iran to obtain nuclear weapons".
Iran doesnt have a nuclear bomb.
DW is owned by a bunch of J$ws and they spread their propaganda through it.
I like to listen to them while I'm working also!
if you start to analyze deeply... DW are baseless, biased, useles and so on.
Plot twist, US may or may not know that he clearly doesn't exist, and he may mostlikely be a multiple individual just Trolling Uncle Sam whos looking for him hahaha 😂
