Roger Cook Investigates: Goldfinger/Laundry Man II - John Goldfinger Palmer expose (2016)

- Over two decades since the Cook Report first exposed him, John Palmer had built a network of corrupt senior policemen, officers in the Inland Revenue and in the Crown Prosecution Service. He could always keep one step ahead of the law and clearly felt invulnerable. Even from prison, using his mobile phone he was still able to run his evil empire - expanding his money laundering activities on behalf of the Columbian cartels and the Russian Mafia - and also acting as a banker for other criminals, who would be charged a 25% commission on all their takings. Investigating him was especially difficult because of his corrupt police, HMRC and CPS contacts and the operation had to be run in secret from a remote RAF electronic warfare base in Cumbria.
The programme was able to obtain a number of top-secret reports and to speak anonymously to one of the investigating officers. He had worked in conjunction with the Spanish police who were legally able to tap Palmer’s mobile phone and were able to track his money laundering and other criminal ventures, information they shared with their British counterparts. The Spaniards estimated that by the time of his death he was worth £600 million.
However, he had so many enemies that he was eventually assassinated in the grounds of his luxury home in Essex. The local police initially said he had died from complications arising from recent keyhole gall bladder surgery. They ignored the ambulanceman who suggested that he had actually been shot multiple times (as he had been) and therefore did not secure the crime scene. There were suggestions that this might have been deliberate. Investigating officers now have as many as 16,000 suspects and little or no prospect of prosecuting any of them.

Roger Cook Reports
This is an independent, not for profit channel celebrating the pioneering investigative work of The Cook Report, its presenter Roger Cook and the team behind him. Nothing remotely like his series was made before or has been made since. Cook was known for his journalistic and physical bravery.
The channel was not established, nor is it run by the man himself. He is actually quite modest about his ground-breaking (and sometimes bone-breaking) achievements.
Unfortunately, the entire Cook Report archive was destroyed in a fire at a London data storage facility in 2006, and we would therefore like your help.
We have acquired most of the episodes on this channel unofficially by reaching out to the Great British public and have been quite successful so far, with more than 80 of over 130 programmes collected so far. However, some of what we’ve found is not the best technical quality and we don’t have the copyright, which belongs to ITV. Do you have any Cook Report programmes in your VHS or DVD collection which we do not have on show - or you have in better quality? If so, we would appreciate it if you would allow us to digitise and share them on the channel. Thanks in advance! Email: rogercookreports@gmail.com

Palmer's voice alone is worth a 30 year sentence.
Yes I was shocked.
In the recent bbc drama 'The Gold' he was portrayed with a strong Bristol accent, even though he grew up in Solihull. He doesn't seem to have much of an accent of any kind here.
😂😂 quality
😅
It would be hard for him to threaten you without bursting out laughing
Roger, you used to make my evening highly enjoyable and one could say, paved the way for decent investigative journalism, i thank you and have always respected and loved your work, this 2nd epiphany is more than well received.
Roger Cook, the only journalist that is worth listening to. How come he got sacked from BBC ? oh yer, that’s why 🤣👍
It's now 2022 and Roger Cook has not been knighted. Disgrace.
Should have started a "Cha-ridy"
Roger Cooks not scared by death threats.
Roger was bad ass !
just listened to a podcast about Palmer, very intelligent bloke , Roger Cook was a one off he fronted anyone and also knowledgeable , maybe some of the old bill nowadays should be more like Roger Cook
Hardly a criminal genius
@jackcalder6561 ahh you must be top top top level ,I bow to you ,course Palmer was levels above most , it took the ob nearly 20 years to nick him , but if you say nothing more than a nomark who am I to judge ?
I am staggered that Roger Cook is still alive. He must hold the record for most death threats.
Its bad for business I suppose killing police and journalists bad newsbut I bet Cook had to be a bit careful
New Zealand is the place to stay...why the WEF mob are building compounds there!
The way Roger explains everything for the lay person is sheer perfection.
Essex Police’s not suspicious
Yeah just 6 pops from a illegal piece
Nice one Essex Police 😂
Not bent just not straight.
Staggering to believe It's Now Been 30 years since Roger Cook's confrontation with Goldfinger a.k.a. John Palmer!
There will never be another Roger Cook. Brings so many memories as a child watching infront of the telly and infront of the fire 🔥 no other journalist will ever put their lives in danger with criminals and other people who wrong do others. Journalists will go to war zones which is scary. But Roger Cook was 1 in a million. God bless him. 🙏 cracking guy who takes no shxt 😂 😂 that says it all in my eyes 👀. Well done Roger
Also palmer deserved everything he got good riddance
When you saw those knee high white socks we knew there was no messing about. No big talk just action. Thank you Cookie!!!
Agreed I loved him! ❤
I remember roger cook when I was child great guy missing him on t.v. he's still looking well happy memories watching t. V. 1970s family round t.v.
If he was being monitored 24/ 7 by the Police surely they should have some insight of what was happening. The gunman knew the. spot not covered by CCTV strange one weeks point in his security.
The Paramedics one report gun shots but was overruled by the Senior Paramedic that it was down to keyhole surgery dose not add up . It did suit the Police and the gunman no need for a crime scene.
Extraordinary the surveillance did not pick up the threat on his life.
I feel sorry for the people who lost their money and had their life turned upside down by this man and his associates.
Roger Cook one fearless journalist
Wouldn't be the first time surveillance missed a murder and that could be due to something nefarious or it could be just incompetence...I know what I would lean towards
What a legend Roger is how he's still alive and going strong i'll never know and he looks good for a man who was in his in his 70's during this time.
I get what you meant by you saying still alive I thought the same how did he have to balls to do what he did and having contracts on him he’s brilliant
hes 94.
Old cookys disguises were brilliant, nearly as good as Jeremy beadles.
What used to always get me about Beadle was he had a beard, that was his de facto look, however he always insisted on applying a fake beard on top as a disguise?!?
Palmer became a liability. They are allowed to operate, then when they sail to close to wind and risk reveling those at the top, they are taken out.
Exactly! There is a good book out on this, he just about owned Teneriffe laundered money for Columbian drug dealers, The time share fraud was a part of this ,there is hidden cash in the mountain areas. This was well known in shady circles indeed inc the Newspaper Tycoon fraudster who stole a pension fund /U.K. laundering it through Palmer then supposedly suicide on his yacht. You can imagine he provided a service for a huge commission. I have read a number of books on British crime, I think the thieves are useful fall guys to crooks in suits.
Interesting 🤔
But just who are those at the top
@@dollydiddums7889 watch sermons room .Walter Veitch he tells all and backs it up. Photos ,quotes
@@alanwann9318 Cheers Alan I'll take a look 👍
@@alanwann9318 I took a look , nothing there that I haven't already heard before . I sort of feel that to get the pure water you must go to the source higher up the mountain , as for religions well they were created by man ! Of course their is something higher but not in the western sense ...
Brilliant great program
I loved to know what roger thinks of today so called journalism? Fair play times been good to him he’s hardly changed.
Hahahaha Roger you look good grey I grew up with ur tv series and looking back then I didn’t even know how brilliant the cook report was I think the uk took you for granted you must have really massive footballs
Worked for the intelligence services in some capacity. Outlived his usefulness then became a liability.
How do you know sir?
If roger cook the man on the telly was doing it now he’d be the biggest thing
Roger Cook Crimebuster
That animal won’t be missed….in the end his own greed cost him the only thing you really have…your life!
Palmer had it coming to him I doubt the police care who ironed him out
Could have been the cops. Obviously they were bent and didn't notice six bullet holes.
He tripped and fell down the stairs Governor 😅 where’s all of his 600 million ??
Great video keep coming
Essex Police were obviously in on this - I cannot stop laughing at part 23.03 - it reminds me of the "This is david Lander / Harper"
take offs with Stephen Fry and Tony Slattery around this time - ! Imagine missing 6 bullet holes in the chest LOL
The way the BBC portrayed them as jack the lad criminals was wrong
great content bro, loved the CR bk in the day, used 2 watch it with my old man👍💯
Bro? Are you a west coast American rap artist?
The police done it
Bang to rights mate
They had 2, to many off them in his pocket, if he spoke they would have all went down,
No different to rangerover murders, essex police most corrupt in UK
He owed the big boys and kept putting them off, his time was up years before his death.
He knew too much about too many people
if he was greedy with the civilians he was greedy with the fellow crooks... express ride towards destination death.
Russian mob/oligarchy definitely had a hand. Especially in England. They're ruthless and terrifying
Corruption is still rife.
TOP BLOKE.
Very good.
Why
@@rdgrdg1632 Because
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
What’s that got to do with this program
@@craigwilliams8457 ARE YOU THE COMMENT POLICE ?
@@craigwilliams8457 HAVE YOU FILLED OUT FORM 27B/6 ?
But weird isn’t it
A crime programme and Your commenting on fakery towers pmsl
guys the police were in involved in it making million with him
A Spanish court can you imagine disorganization.
I can imagine the corruption.
To be fair it was the British judiciary that "screwed" up and gifted him 30 million. But they were probably in the same lodge 🤔😉😔
He's still alive on witness protection
Maybe the english cops + crims didn't want the Spanish cops lookin and finding stuff not meant to be found - evidence, paperwork, names, money trails - stuff they could have kept hidden, lost it or overlooked it on purpose if he was being investigated in UK? Wouldn't put it past them to tie up a loose end, a possible liability, unwanted attention (Essex, range rovers + a dark lane)!?
The public still think the Hatton garden robbery was just about a bunch of old ex cons getting hold of some Tom foolery. The minute they got what was really ordered Palmer no longer had his ace card.
He was being 'monitored 24/7 by police.
Yeah for 16 yrs from a military base in Cumbria and yet he was taken out I can smell something
That doesn't sound illegal does it? LOL
Worst kept secret in the underworld who done it!!!
Who was it?
@@thislife3655
Billy Blundell.
@@bigbernie7260 I take it they had a grievance?
@@thislife3655
The Blundells were ruthless and fearless.
@@bigbernie7260 Essex Boys too?
That death goes in the book of "he had it coming" nevermind
Amazing Palmer lived in Bath as does Cook now.
They were neighbours. Rumour had it he made a hole in the fence to keep an eye on him?
@@CARLIN4737 🤣😂😅
Ide live in Bath if money no object.😊
Essex police and the ambulance service must have been on the square too. 🤔😔
At 28.06 John and Dennis New step off his private plane laughing...Don't see Roger Cook approaching them...strange
Karma is a bitch .
At the end of the day they knew he had been assassinated but didn't care because of his past.
They were happy he was gone so just made up a reason so they could close the case and that's how it should have stayed.
I mean do w really want to waste money on investigating the murder of a hardened criminal who did the same to others?
Just reclose the case and file it away.
Police did it
His still alive he is trust me
Where is he then? New identity?
i dont get this am i not understanding ,he tells the burmese triangle persons that he wants all to be legal ?so what s the deal or do i just not understand what laundering is????its possible
Police knocked him off
Ask David Corbett Pickles fame he knows
Essex police....what a mob...!!
What about Peter Ivory , he was one of their master money man, Peter owes half a million in Tenerif and works at Hansons in gibrater, peter ivery came from Bristol and has a broad Bristol accent,,,,, look to the Colombians for his killer!!!
He got whacked for robbing the gold
33 code in this is telling.
Yea? Like what ? Icke is always on about this mob ? On the Square and such......
Roger playing Russian roulette
Revenge hit karma bites back
Faked his own death maybe,,,
Like Maxwell, Epstein etc
You want to look into Mohamed jamil derbah his asociate in tenerife
Good shout.
I spoke to derbah in his own shit hotel [ponderosa] about palmer and he was a bit cagey but seemed friendly enough but this was 5 years ago and he was about 70
Jools Holland
Coppers shot him
Police cover up, as usual..
I met Roger Cook briefly in Bath once and he was quite surly. Perhaps he is suspicious of everyone...
Maybe he could just tell you were a wrong un!
Everyone is generally suspicious of everyone.
He probably has PTSD from all the people hitting him over the years.
Probs hungover or had a headache.............
well, i think i'd be a bit surly if i met you in a bath......
You can Rob granny's pension savings and get rich but Rob the establishment and ur day will come.
❤
He did rob the Grannys' pension funds. He ripped off thousands of them the bastard.
They don't breed them like Dave and John Palmer anymore , so a head of their times .
Dead ahead of his time.
Watching this is an eye opener but just think .there's bigger gangsters and crooks in our midst ,POLITICIANS
Roger cook is No1 like he series
Notorious grass apparently, no wonder he got offed
If I ad that above my eye ad cut it off
Let’s hope it was some ordinary hard working Joe that Palmer ripped off with a Spanish property investment. He was as crooked as one can get, you play with fire, you get burnt 🔥 Shame 😂
