Europe's largest financial pyramids helped Russia build weapons - On Air - TVP WORLD



What if a “get-rich-quick” Ponzi scheme became a way to boost weapons production for Russia? And what if one of the scammers was also the same person who sent explosive parcels across Europe on the order of the Kremlin?

In this episode of ON-AIR Klara Syrewicz looks at the shocking story behind Juicy Fields, one of the largest financial pyramid schemes in Europe, and its Polish predecessor, Recyclix. Together, the schemes defrauded investors of more than €700 million across dozens of countries.

Syrewicz speaks with Daniel Flis, an investigative reporter who exposed the links between the two scams and followed the money trail beyond crypto wallets and shell companies.
