What Raid Teams Found Inside The Palaces Of Fallen Dictators...

What Raid Teams Found Inside The Palaces Of Fallen Dictators... When a dictator falls, the doors of his palace finally open, and what people find inside tells the real story of how he ruled. From a bookcase in Tunisia that slid open on live television to reveal safes full of cash still wearing the central bank's seal, to three lions in Uday Hussein's garden, to forty thousand pages pulled out of Yanukovych's reservoir and dried on the palace floor, this is a countdown of the ten strangest things raid teams and crowds discovered. Told through real footage, real headlines and real records, it follows Sri Lankan protesters who handed the president's cash to police, a false wall in Baghdad hiding more than six hundred million dollars, Gaddafi's album of Condoleezza Rice, and the hole under a rug where Saddam Hussein was caught. It ends in Damascus, with food still on Bashar al-Assad's stove, a garage of supercars, and the money that was never there, because it had been flown to Moscow years before he was. ------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:10 10 Ben Ali - Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia 3:48 09 Gotabaya Rajapaksa - Colombo, Sri Lanka 5:53 08 Sheikh Hasina - Dhaka, Bangladesh 7:52 07 Omar al-Bashir - Khartoum, Sudan 9:44 06 Uday Hussein - Baghdad, Iraq 11:45 05 Viktor Yanukovych - Mezhyhirya, Ukraine 14:59 04 Saddam's Hidden Cash - Baghdad, Iraq 16:36 03 Muammar Gaddafi - Tripoli, Libya 18:37 02 Saddam Hussein - Ad-Dawr, Iraq 21:13 01 Bashar al-Assad - Damascus, Syria 25:11 Outro ---------------------------------------------- SOURCES: Reuters — "How Assad fled Syria: secret flights, silence and a vanished leader" (2024) Financial Times — "Syria's Assad flew cash reserves to Russia as regime crumbled" (December 2024) ----------------------------------------------
