“Why should the Indian authorities not want to cooperate with us in this

matter? I cannot fully understand why is that. Explain further, please,” says Tom
with a slight irritated tone in his voice. Bjørn usually does not tend to be cryptic

in his explanations. Bjørn subdues short and bitter laugh, while he takes a puff on

a cigarette.
“You see, Tom… The Indians have been bought with millions of dollars, so

one way or another, they’re gonna keep that income flow safe. When it comes to

companies of Kräsen’s caliber, governments put the policeforce, well, the whole
judicial system flat down for them in order to maintain their relationshop and

goodwill.”
He looks at Tom, who seem to follow now, as he continues: “It's every

country's wet dream to attract big multinationals like Kräsen, and for a giant like

them to choose your country, well you better be roll out the red carpet, mate.
They won’t bother to hear about old cases from other countries, that could

disturb this relationship. For all they care, he might as well seek complete

asylum or citizenship there. As far as our intel goes, we know he’s knee-deep in
illegal art trading world, but that matters not, when a company of his size,

chooses to relocate. It will bring thousands of new jobs as well as big, big invest-
ments. In other words, some old paintings will not stop this cooperation.”

Tom answers: "No, it's clear enough that the Indian authorities won’t

engage. But what do we do then? We know where LG-1000 is located and that
Gustav is probably the main player in the vast network of illegal art dealers. We

have two of his paintings that have been proven stolen, we have the photographs

from his office, is that not enough?”
Bjørn closes the window and almost throws himself back in his office

chair with a movement.

"Under normal circumstances, it would be plenty to step in for an arrest,
except that both top politicians in Germany and strong forces in the German po-

lice are constantly putting obstacles in the way of our work and we can expect

the same in India."
"That side of the case I understand,” says Tom.

Bjørn kills his cigarette, looking at him from his desk, focused, and says.
