00666 License to steal

A ignóbil saga continua.

Uma súmula bastante exaustiva pode ser lida aqui:
«Butchers: The hidden truth about Israel's kidney theft ring»

Num artigo relacionado - sobre a antropologista Scheper-Hughes, que já havia denunciado a rede de Rosenbaum ao FBI (há sete anos atrás!)-, pode ler-se:

«The man called Rosenbaum "a thug" who would pull out a pistol he was apparently licensed to carry and tell the sellers, "You're here. A deal is a deal. Now, you'll give us a kidney or you'll never go home.' "

Scheper-Hughes felt she had to stop Rosenbaum. She met with the FBI. "I always thought of it as my Dick Tracy moment," she said Thursday.

She waited and waited for something to be done. The FBI may have been following the lead of the State Department, which dismissed organ trafficking as "urban legend."It would be impossible to conceal a clandestine organ trafficking ring," a 2004 State Department report stated.
Scheper-Hughes had better luck in Brazil and in South Africa, where law enforcement corroborated her findings and acted decisively.»

Já agora, acerca da rede desmantelada no Brasil, em 2004, é sempre útil recordar:

«A retired Israeli army officer under arrest on suspicion of participating in an international organ trafficking scheme testified before a Brazilian court that the Israeli government financed organ transplants, the daily O Globo reported.»
