global campaign of targeted assassination. 4

Vladimir Putin's links to organized crime. 8

and I'm Global Investigations Editor at BuzzFeed News. 14

"The Kremlin's ruthless assassination program 16

"and Vladimir Putin's secret war on the west". 17

to meet with Mark Schoofs who was then 20

the editor of BuzzFeed's global investigations team. 21

And I was talking to him about setting up 22

an investigations team in the United Kingdom. 23

that I hoped contained the clues to a mystery 25

that may be the new team could set about trying to solve. 26

And that news clipping was about the death 27

He was a multi-millionaire property tycoon 29

Falling from the fourth floor of a London penthouse, 32

of a wrought iron fence underneath his window. 34

Scot Young's body was found in Montagu Square 36

and particularly about his connections 39

who had died in suspicious circumstances. 41

Including the exiled Russian oligarch, Boris Berezovsky. 42

And shortly after I got a mysterious phone call 46

out of the blue from somebody who asked me 47

I turned up at the address and the door swung open 50

and I came face-to-face with Michelle Young, 51

and who told me her husband had been murdered 53

and she wanted my new team to investigate. 54

I knew as soon as I had received that phone call, 55

Michelle Young had a trove of documents 57

which had come out in the course of this divorce battle 58

And those documents showed really fascinating new details 60

about Young's business dealings with Boris Berezovsky, 61

in the crosshairs of Vladimir Putin's Russia. 67

And so we began to look at those documents 68

and to piece together this jigsaw puzzle 69

which connected Scot Young not only to Boris Berezovsky, 70

in very strange circumstances the year before, 72

a total of 14 men, who had died suspiciously 74

in Britain after falling afoul of Vladimir Putin. 75

We got hold of this huge cache of documentary evidence 76

which showed the connections between this group of men 77

who had all worked together to try to move 78

ill-gotten Russian money into the United Kingdom, 79

along with huge amounts of other exclusive 82

material we had obtained, into a custom-built database 83

that allowed us to search across the whole set 84

And we also then scraped public records 86

from various court cases and public inquiries and inquests. 87

We were able to piece together a kind of big digital library 88

of Russian related money and betrayal and murder. 90

We also got hold of hours worth of surveillance footage 91

of Scot Young and some of his associates 92

in the months leading up to his death. 93

We rebuilt mobile phones and computers 95

to piece together a really large digital cache of evidence, 97

and we got hold of some bags of evidence 98

which the police had gathered from the scenes 99

of some of these deaths, and which had been discarded. 100

And we were able to piece together this picture 101
