HOW TO HIDE A BILLION DOLLARS  S o you’ve stolen  a billion dollars. That was the easy part. The country of which  you are president may be poor, which is a pity, but it is also lawless, which creates opportunities. The auditors, police and prosecutors who should have slapped the hand you put in the treasury chose to kiss it instead. So your pockets are bulging with ill-gotten loot. There is just one snag: the world has grown less tolerant of kleptocrats. Back in the good old days of the cold war, strongmen could be strongmen. When Mobutu Sese Seko, the late dictator of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, robbed his country into a coma, no one cared. (Apart from his subjects, of course.) When his household drained 10,000 bottles of pink champagne a year and Mobutu kept a Concorde idling on the runway of his tropical palace, his Western backers turned a blind eye, so long as he did not invite the Soviets into central Africa.

My Wife No Longer Wants Sex Because She Is Scared of the Children Hearing Us DEAR DEIDRE:  MY wife and I almost never have sex. She decided she no longer wanted it because she was scared of the children hearing us from the next room. We’ve only had sex four or five times in the past year. My wife no longer wants sex because she is scared of the children hearing us We have been married for 12 years. I am 40 and she is 39. Our two daughters are aged nine and 11. I have never lasted longer than a minute and I can understand that it is hardly worthwhile for my wife to have sex for just 60 seconds. We have not talked about it and now I am starting to feel increasingly distant from my wife. I think a sex life would help us to feel closer. I don’t want our marriage to fall apart because we don’t get physically close any more. DEIDRE SAYS:  Find a quiet time to talk to your wife about reducing noises from your bedroom. Moving the bed might do the trick, plus s...

Roma Showing Interest in Chelsea Forward Michy Batshuayi? Roma are reportedly considering a loan offer for Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi, regardless of whether Edin Dzeko remains at Stadio Olimpico. Roma  are reportedly ready to launch a loan approach for  Chelsea  forward  Michy Batshuayi . There are currently doubts over the future of  Edin Dzeko , who is being linked with a transfer to Inter Milan before the end of the summer window. However, according to Sky Sports Italia, Roma are keen to bring in Batshuayi, regardless of whether the 33-year-old stays at Stadio Olimpico. While Batshuayi played an active role for Chelsea during their pre-season programme, the Belgium international was not included in the 18-man squad to face Manchester United last weekend. That would suggest that  Frank Lampard  regards the striker as third choice behind  Tammy Abraham  and  Olivier Giroud , although the newly-appointed boss may ...

Why Andy Ruiz Jr Is in ‘Strong Position’ for Refusing Anthony Joshua Fight in Saudi Arabia ANDY RUIZ JR holds a “strong position” in his refusal to travel to Saudi Arabia for a world title rematch with Anthony Joshua. Why Andy Ruiz Jr is in ‘strong position’ for refusing Anthony Joshua fight in Saudi Arabia (Image: GETTY) That’s according to promoter Frank Warren, who believes the sequel is being held in the Middle East simply because of money. Anthony Joshua  and Ruiz Jr fought back in June and the Mexican came out on top to shock the boxing world - winning AJ’s WBA, WBO and IBF world titles in the process. After months of back and forth over a rematch venue and date, it was announced last week that Diriyah, a small town situated on the outskirts of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, would host the mega-event on December 7. Criticism of the event has been peddled by those questioning the morality of the fight being staged in a country with questionable human ...
