Papua New Guinea's most notorious criminal, William Kapris, has been commanding the headlines since his infamous escape from Bomana jail and subsequent recapture because of what he knows about the murky world of PNG crime, Asian gangs and the politicians who are reputedly involved.
Now video clips of Kapris telling his own story about his robberies and the people who assisted him and profited from his crimes are available on the internet and are being sold on dvd on the streets of Port Moresby.
In the videos Kapris alleges that three MPs each received K300,000 from the proceeds of the Madang BSP bank robbery - Patrick Pruaitch, Tony Aimo and Francis Marus. Kapris also names Arthur Somare and talks about the operation of an Asian 'Black Bank'.
While it is unclear how the videos have been released and who is responsible, the fact is that they are now in the public domain and the interest in viewing them is huge.
These are the links to the Kapris video clips on YouTube.
