That's how Jim Jong's super-coustic life is financed

Luxury heavens, Mercedes armoured limos, ski resorts: While his people suffer for their livelihood, North Korean dictatorship, 33-year-old Kim Jong lives a luxurious life.

But where do you buy these luxury goods?

His country has been under the embargo of international sanctions for years.

Clearly, China plays an important role for North Korea.

According to CNN, 85 percent of the goods imported in this country come from China.

China claims it only sells goods that are not on the list of sanctions, but experts are not convinced.

Interestingly, China has significantly increased the amount of goods it sends to North Korea.
Only for the first half of this year is 2.1 billion euros.
But who pays for this luxurious life - style?

The dictator's yacht, a 39 Prances MEY costs at least 3 million euros.

The ski resort, Masikryong, has cost over 30m euros.

Experts agree that these luxury purchases are financed by illegal international trafficking.
These include drug trafficking, weapons, counterfeiting money, computer intervention, and even rare animal sales.

The dictator makes millions of dollars from them.

An American Congress report in 2008 estimated up to $1 billion.

Experts Robert Kelly tells Bild that one of the main sources of income for the communist country is the sale of drugs.

In East and Southeast Asia, North Korea remains a major supplier of meth and amphetamine drugs.

Another important role plays “Zyra 39”, a secret office founded in 1974 to finance the despotic regime.

According to one deserter, this office trades each year with Singapore, for example, 300 thousand tonnes of Russian oil.
UN sanctions avoid using bank accounts on behalf of Russian and Chinese contacts.

North Korea also does business with African countries.

A recent report shows that the communist country sells weapons to countries such as Congo and Eritrea.

Namibia has invested at least $100m in North Korean projects, including an ammunition plant.
