Bureau 39: Cash for Kim ( Part 1), People and Power
How is it possible that North Korea, one of the poorest countries on earth, manages to finance a nuclear weapons programme The answer is through Bureau 39, a secretive organisation hidden deep inside the government apparatus. Its aim is to procure foreign exchange, by any means possible, to fund Kim Jong Un s regime. From printing counterfeit dollars and profiting from slave labour sent overseas, to illegally selling arms, committing insurance fraud and widespread computer hacking, the inventiveness of North Korea s sanction busters knows no bounds.
