On August 21, an informative-analytical portal, Exclusive News published a video titled Scandalous Video about Sandra Roelofs’ Business. The video came with a short description that it had been published by the Head of the State Security Service of Ukraine and pictures in details Sandra Roelofs trading with human organs.

Also on August 21, an information agency Times News published the same video and article titled Scandalous Video about Sandra Roelofs: How She Trades with Human Organs (see video).

The article says that “fellow party members are concerned that Sandra Roelofs exports human organs in the West. She launched this business in Georgia during the presidency of her husband.”

Short Description of the Video

The video shows an incognito respondent who sits with the back to the camera and claims being a member of the State Security Service of Ukraine. According to him, he was engaged in the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) and with the aim of providing security was attached to the medical group that aimed to transplant human organs, as plenty of warriors expressed wish to use their organs for transplantation after death. A professional transplantation expert, Elisabeth De Brück, aka Ellis, was working together with the medical team. Elisabeth De Brück introduced a new practice in the team, namely the extraction of organs from the wounded warriors without their consent. The organs were stored in special containers and sent to crematorium. An unidentified individual claims that Ellis often received calls from abroad. “We will try, Sandra” – she was responding to the calls. According to the unidentified individual, Sandra – the spouse of the former President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili – is the real organizer of the mission.

Origin of the Footages used in the Video

The video shown by Exclusive News was uploaded on the official Youtube channel of information agency СЛОВО (SLOVO.net.ua) on September 23, 2015. The claim of Exclusive News that the video has been published by the Head of the State Security Service of Ukraine is false.
