Dubai Islamic Bank's Head Office One day in August 1995. An electron named Fotanga Babani Sisoko, is taking loans to buy cars. The manager of the bank agreed to give the loan, Sisoko invited him to the house at dinner.
Thus, one of the biggest frauds in the world, starting from the beginning, is the BBC's reporter Bridget Shefar.
At the end of the dinner, Sisoko claimed to be surprised. He told the bank manager Mohammad Ayub that he has the power of witchcraft. He can double the money with this power.
Sisoko invited Amirati buddy to come again. Now he asked to bring some cash to him.
Judeotsana is banned in Islam, but many believe in it. Ayub was trapped by the mysterious character of Sisoka, who came from a village in Mali, in the belief that he was trapped in the faith.
The next time Ayub appeared in the house of Sisoko When he entered the room, a person came out of a room with a goosectomy and became a man. He just shouted, 'He just attacked the jin'. The person warned Ayub that if the junk does not get excited, then the money will not be doubled.
Ayub kept his money out of the magical room and was waiting outside. Later in his speech, he saw light and smoke in the room at that time, and heard 'Gaby' noise, hear. At one stage, silence came down.
"Ayub believed this was Black Magic, which can double the meaning of Sisoko," said Miami attorney Alan Fine, who investigated the incident later for the bank.
Alan Fine also told the BBC, "So Ayub gave money to Sisoko-the bank's money- and he was expecting that this money would come back to him twice."
Ayub sent money to 183 stamps in the Sisokoro bank accounts held from 1995 to 1998. The credit card also cost several million dollars, which arranged by the bank manager Ayub.
In 1998, the buzz began in the Dubai Islamic Bank crisis. The news was released at the time of the bank lying in liquidity crisis.
Then customers take the line to withdraw money from the bank. At that time the Dubai authorities say, "There was a small problem, so that the investment of the bank or the depositors will not be harmed."
But their statement was not correct.
Attorney Alan Fine said, "The bank's owners have a huge, huge shock in it. The bank was not even under the insurance. The bank was protected because the government assisted it. But they had to put a lot of money in their bank. "
When the bank was in trouble, then Fotanga Babani Sisoko was far away. Sisoko had a great advantage that he did not have to stay in Dubai to get the money.
After a few weeks of playing this witch with Ayub, in November 1995, Sisocho visited another branch in New York. What he did was a little more than opening accounts.
According to Allan Fine, "One day he went to CityBang without any appointment. A meeting with her there with a teller (engaged in direct customer service), make her married.
"And there is reason to believe that the women will have their confidence in the city bank. As far as I remember, then more than $ 100 million was transferred to the United States through open accounts. "
According to the case filed by Dubai Islamic Bank against Citibank, Citibank had waived more than $ 151 million from the bank's account without proper approval. However, the case was finally withdrawn.
For this bank-centric aid, Sisoko gave more than five million dollars to his new wife.
Fine said about their marriage, "I do not know, by which law Sisoko married him. But she used to call her a wife and she felt herself as a wife.
"He realized that he (Sisko) had more wives. Some are from Africa, some are from Miami, some are from New York. "
Thus, Siskoko fulfills the dream of opening an airline for West Africa by hand from the bank. He bought a secondhand hawker-Sidley 125 and a pair of old Boeing-727S aircraft. It started with the journey of Air Debian, which is named after its own village in Mali.
But in 1996 Sisoko made a serious mistake to buy two Huey-two helicopters during the Vietnam War. But why did he go to buy copter at that time?
"The idea behind the purchase of this helicopter was to introduce the air ambulance. But what he was looking for was a bigger, bigger than a helicopter used in US hospitals and trauma centers, bigger than that, "Fine said to the BBC.
Because they could be used for weapons, helicopters needed special export licenses. The people of Sisoco wanted to make a tax of 30 thousand dollars for bribe, but they were eventually arrested. Interpol issued warrant for arrest of Siskoko. Sisoko was caught in Geneva, Switzerland, where he went to open another bank account.
At that time, there is still a clear feeling of going to meet Sisoko in the Geneva Champ-Dolan Prison, who went to work as his lawyer, Tom Spencer of Miami.
"I talk to prison wardens; He wants to know about what is going on in the US to Sisoko.
"I say, 'OK, we'll see'. He said, 'Well, back it up as much as possible'. I say, 'Why?' Warden answers, 'He prepares us nice food from Paris every night.' And it was my first encounter with my father Sisochor in a strange way. "
Sisoco was quickly handed over to the United States, where he started organizing his influential followers.
The judges who are interested in diplomats from being the guarantor of Sisoko are embarrassed. The lawyer Tom Spencer was surprised when former Senator Birch Behe announced to join Sisoko's lawyer team.
Attorney Fine said, "Well, you ask yourself, why would anyone jump for a foreigner in this way, which apparently does not matter in the United States? I do not know the answer to the question. However, it is a matter of great curiosity. "
According to information stored in Florida, the US government wanted to keep Sisoko in prison, but eventually got bail for 20 million dollars.
After that, Sisoko was spending money. Get the lawyers of the party as a Mercedes or Jaguar. But it was just beginning.
Fine said that Sesoko spent $ 5 million on shopping at a jewelery shop. He used to put millions of dollars in other places. He spent more than half a million dollars in a men's clothing store.
Car dealer Ronil Duferne said, "He used to come and buy two-three-four cars together. Again in another week, they bought two-three-four cars together. It was such that money is like wind. "
He sold 30 to 35 cars to Sisoko, he said.
Go to the cemetery in Miami. Although there were already a few wives, she did not stop marrying. He arranged for renting 23 apartments in the city.
"Playboy is the most appropriate word for him to describe. Because he was very noble and handsome. Wearing clothes in a beautiful style. He has made a lot of money in Miami, "said Cisman Makan Musa of Cisco.
A large part of the cost, Sisoko did good work. Because he knew the value of good job promotion. Makan Musa said he saw the $ 1.43 billion high school band going to take part in the Thaksgiving Day parade.
On Thursday, Sisoko said that he would go out to distribute money among the homeless, and his lawyer, Professor HT Smith, said.
"I used to think, this is the modern Robin Hood? Why are you stealing money and giving it? It did not make any sense, "he said.
Smith said, "after leaving, Miami Herald released an update. As far as I remember, they calculated the expenditure of $ 14 million. He was here for 10 months, that means more than one million dollars per month. "
However, Alan Fine was seen in suspicion of this donor. He feels that Sisoko would do these to cover his own campaign and real events.
"Everything she did was to create an image. He wanted to show himself as a very influential and highly wealthy man. According to my knowledge, he has never given any donation.
In such public relations work, he admitted to the court that he did not accept the advice of the lawyer in the hearing of the case. Perhaps he thought that they would get less questions about money and money.
He was sentenced to 43 days in prison and fined two and a half million dollars. The fine means that the money was paid by Dubai from Islamic Bank without their knowledge.
After spending half a day in total punishment, Sisocho, without paying one million dollars for a homeless person The remaining days of the imprisonment were found in the condition of spending homage in Mali, but he returned home with the hero.
His return home was at a time when the auditors of Dubai Islamic Bank were able to see, something happened in a racket. Ayub was frightened, until then Sisoko stopped answering his phone.
Finally, Ayub confessed to one of his colleagues. If the colleague asked for "how much money has been flown", Ayub could not say with shame; He wrote a piece of paper, 890 million dirhams, which is equivalent to $ 242 million.
He was sentenced to three years in prison for cheating. There was also a rumor spreading that the magic of sorcery was given to him to get rid of ghosts.
Sisoko has never faced trial. In his absence, a Dubai court awarded him three years in prison for cheating and magic. Interpol issued a warrant in his name and he is a wanted.
The documents of the trial proceedings against Sisoka are found in some other cases. In a Paris court, his lawyer claimed that Ayub's work was 'sent to him' and that their meaning was somewhere else. The Court, however, did not accept this statement, and convicted Sisoko of money.
Sisoko, a member of the parliament of Mali for 12 years from 2002 to 2014, has given him escape from the trial. Although he is not in parliament now, he has been in safe for the last four years, because there is no other country's prisoner exchange deal with Mali. But Dubai Islamic Bank still runs him out of court.
A woman's tailor, who created the Sisoko's garment in Bamako, in Mali, recently described her as a favorite person.
The woman said, "The last time I saw her two or three years ago, let me make a suit suitcase. If he could not give a gift, he would not be happy. That's his specialty. He likes to give something to the people. "
His driver Lukali Ibrahim said, "His good point is, when everything goes well you can expect many gifts from him. He likes to help people with their problems.
"And the bad side is that he is such a person, do not tell you the truth, but keep on expecting; I mean, you used to rotate behind him. "
A goldsmith was found in a market, to whom only one of the buyers was heard praising, who can make a phone call and make some gifts for his friends.
It can be found that he found his own village in an area around the area of Dubia. From the village he got the name of the few surviving airline names. Its location is in Guinea and Senegal border. After a long journey, a house is found that matches the details of his home.
He is found in the middle of the armed guards. Babani Sisoka itself, now 70 years of age.
She agreed to give an interview. He started talking about telling about his own coming into the world.
"My name is Sisoko Fotanga Dit Babani. You know, on the day I was born, the villagers here gathered to scream, 'There is a son of Marie'.
"... there was so much joy everywhere."
Later, he described his role in the reconstruction of this village, which started in 1985. Talk about making money. Sisoko said, at one stage his wealth was worth 400 million dollars.
He was asked, about handing over $ 2.42 million from Dubai Islamic Bank.
Sisoko said in the north, "Madam, 242 million dollars is a bit eccentric story. The bank's gentlemen should explain, how they lost this money. 242 million dollars How could this money go? That's the problem. This person (Ayub) is not alone in the charge of authorizing these transfers. When a bank transfers money, it is not done only by a person, some have to do it. "
When asked about Ayub's statement about jadtona, he said, "I saw the gentleman you were talking about and met us."
However, Sisoko denied the money laundering.
"I was contacted by her once when I went to buy a car. The bank bought it for me and I pay off their debts. It was a Japanese car. "
Asked whether he had influenced people with jadtona, he said, "Madam, if a person has such power, then why would he work? If you have that power, you can rob all the banks from anywhere in the world. United States, France, Germany, anywhere Even in this africa If you wanted, you could have robbed all the banks. "
If you still do not want to know wealthy, Sisoka's answer was clear; "No, I'm no longer rich. I'm poor. "
Sisoko has spent 20 years with warrants of various countries even if all the money was waste and never got out of Mali. He has not been imprisoned for one day for 'black magic bank robbery'.
