4:06 am
a martyr crusader against corruption a few weeks ago be unbowed his most dangerous operation yet. dissident b.d.'s congo in the history of our country. almost two hundred people were caught up in the judicial scandal sending shock waves through the legal system there should be put a new mindset which is i'm not going to succumb to such appalling acts of corruption not only because i might be caught but because it's appallingly shaped and the saga frightens to bring down many powerful figures by shining a light on corruption sometimes take a spot of justice back and i think a nice as provider that spied. for their own edifice to blow up.
4:07 am
a nice area mayor and nasa is gone as best. known but at least recognizable journalist. he's been undercover for nearly twenty years he never identifies himself on camera preferring to show his face wear wigs and hide under a hat two months ago news started to leak about his latest and most important investigations so far. al-jazeera has been recalled in what happened. and this is todd is with the judges and officials who run the country's courts from humble magistrates to powerful high court justices. he set out to show that justice was for sale but even he was surprised at how deep the apparent corruption went and how hard it would be to expose which. it's early september and
4:08 am
unless is brief in an old friend who runs a gun a newspaper group. at the end of the investigation. we've got thirty four judges. thirty four s. and one hundred l. forty six tradition asked betty ford that you know you have heard. and as sad as it is that some of these judges. identities who hold in high esteem. for example jet a jets nasa. issue. is caught on tape taking bribes. so you can imagine that implications are huge for the country was a gentler sam is one of gone as most senior judges sitting in the high court and dealing with the most important cases. when an ass is on the cover team came across
4:09 am
him he was trying for the men. they were accused of stealing over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from garner's national oil company. to get access to a judge like this they first had to winnow raise clark in this case a man called gabriel. pleaded the middlemount. he would need us to buy jed's. of course as you can see we give him his share now madge let him take said. and asked wanted to find out whether they could pay to get one of the accused off the bone to the clark worked he got i mean to see the judge. the amount of money needed to tim senior judges like this is not small and there says that this judge wanted around three thousand dollars more than a month's salary for
4:10 am
a high court justice who spoke to where the kids were given the narration and then who demanded the money be given to him so that's what you can see here is the money that has been given to him and it's by send it on to eight thousand c.d.'s and it over but the judge wants to make sure he gets a further amount he offers to meet the defendant in person to sort out the paperwork. after the money is finally handed over the lucky. defendant moves free is three her accuse will get long sentences as the oil companies state owned it's the people of ghana we've just lost out is this kind of corruption which provides ferd's how ground for campaigning journalist like crazy pratt the award winning newspaper editor cross in effect with your list of the facts everything first of all enormous
4:11 am
resources are being taken out of the state coffers in the was resources are being taken out of private covers and so on and ending up with a bit of law to be in there's corruption in the award of quote rising is that the contractors are going to wish on a job you know if if there is corruption you know in the admission of students in is that the quality of students who are going to end up wasn't in years and so on would be defective. with huge natural resources including oil began as should be one of africa's powerhouse economies but it's not. a point not lost on ghana's most influential citizen corruption that's not on the distraught. development it deprives the poor of services. and not only does it deprive the poor of
4:12 am
services when the corrupt get away with it and there are no sanctions we are created in a society that kabir rotten to the core. after two years under cover an ass and his tiger eye investigative team when public in september the decision would provoke huge controversy death threats and they sometimes uncomfortable spotlight on their own methods. among the first to hear what had been going on was gone as president john muhammad is. president. has a problem on our hands. what is the problem that you dish out. then he bowed his head. with a plank. while so how many. thirty four. and also briefed gone as most senior judge the chief justice to gino would.
4:13 am
say as how long is this meeting one to finish talking about we've been trying and that's. where the effort went to have our. just a few days later the chief justice suspended twenty two junior judges and began impeachment proceedings against twelve more senior ones and as was told by the president his evidence would be vital but he was warned he'd be in for a tough time. x. to me and i prepared to subject myself to that scrutiny and that says that because it's not going to go on for him i said mr president. i can't put my life on the evidence i have. no consent for the parent as an undercover journalist and nasa has been laney's life on the line for
4:14 am
nearly twenty years i am going undercover to find out who is behind this illegal business and how they are getting away with it. initially a newspaper journalist is undercover techniques made him a television natural what's needed is government regulation and therefore spent to protect our children environment and our future. it investigate corruption of crimes no subject was off limits. and this was singled out for his campaign journalism by the us president when he came to gone up in two thousand and nine today our focus on the critical to the future of africa and the entire developing world. democracy opportunity health and the peaceful resolution of conflict we see that spirit in courageous
4:15 am
journalists. well i got us i remember i was dressed just like for the trip and if you do stories that are of universe i import and attention like this vesta kitty rex plays into human trafficking like chinese my fia sex fame dealing with kate's exploit and kate's i mean if you do that kind of story that has international impact i'm not surprised a u.s. president will recognize that. unless home these forensic techniques fervor by qualifying as a lawyer it was was studying the law but he began to focus on the hidden problem of judicial corruption if you look at records look at the gun and deputy initiative reports look at the u.s. department of state report for better on me to report. always side. they can dish out. as have an issue and telling these off option. i felt
4:16 am
embarrassed as an undercover journalist that. we only left it at the realm of speculation and that flash and substance to those issues. and i spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a network of undercover agents i mean to bribe judges in court officials in every region of gone on cases they would have included family disputes fraud armed robbery and a great in fact any case up to and including murder. and first the judges seem to resist the chance of extra funds for the first six and it was selfish there was no results coming nothing and nobody was taking them on i was i spoke to my team it was almost like i recall one team member telling i was what you did there was not in there why did you say which was that. and i felt embarrassed worse
4:17 am
still twelve of the judges the investigators from tiger y. approached turned down the bribes and some of them even threatened to report the journalist to the police for attempted bribery could it be that gone as judges were more honest in bruma suggested. perhaps not and this is a team slowly realized what was wrong they needed to spend longer hanging around courts and to their faces became familia sometimes we were just tagging along with relatives and not just saying anything but we had a sit in the court and we always said at the place that i did this i don't know when you raises his head so as soon as you go that beautiful visit. they didn't look at your face and think that ok this guy is funny and. inter milan novin gone up and that is investigators went to see if they could influence the outcome of a rape case it was an appeal here in the twenty nine year old defendant wanted to reverse
4:18 am
a conviction for rape in an under-age girl and nicest thing went to plead for the young man. this is what she always a were respected high court judge and come at it and all their original fault but rather than lead us to his house that morning and the letter and as you can see does have. the defendant is appealing because he claims the girl was actually sixteen at the time the judge and saw g. abortion be meeting like this but he appears willing to listen and he suggests that the girl's father should come to the court to say she wasn't really under-aged.
4:19 am
yes. in my. mind i think that. they judge as helping us so that their guy can walk free. so we take the money. and then we hand it over to the judges anxious nobody should know that he accepted the cash i think. and he said i. think. this is i was a jail and this is his class cause not part of the incident. this was a day of judgment and not he looked very good that day and he indeed he freed this guy this was after we had been two thousand then as it is to him when their father decided to go back to him. and this is team take
4:20 am
a traditional gift bags of yams and more cash. i think and see here is he collecting the money that were given him. the convicted rapist was freed from a ten year sentence with hard labor to return home to the gallows neighborhood as a result of a mass is intervention. not everybody agrees with the nurses methods not even some from his own journalistic community journalists or not supporters. to be. intelligent agents no not really substantially different from undercover cia some undercover m i five agents and so on we investigate but our metals are also different you know. not a home unless the rio and the us do in seoul there which is local law where the
4:21 am
surge has been is an interest and good and so on but the main thoughts are not journalistic but a nurse is unashamed about his methods and believes the ends justify the means my journalism is a product of the society look i have saying i am america and you do a story we have agencies strong citizens who would get up and ensure that they follow up and put those bad guys behind bass. yeah in the hold up in this house it is also. in the first week of september news of illnesses sting operation against the nation's judges has begun leaking out the justice suspect twenty two judges and magistrates judges the worst. response is overwhelmingly positive news papers are full of it t.v. and radio talk shows can't get enough either they need to know why but we did
4:22 am
actually. a few people are very unhappy a direct threat and that is life has been made when a crown radio station and i says he's not worried well i am also it's over the years and i just an odious i mean why would you threaten someone without mentioning your name that's a coward that's how i think them to be and like i said my point has always been that that is a diversion i acted and this might make light of the threat but he's been persuaded to accept twenty four hour police protection and sent his wife and family abroad he's god is inside the car with him. no no i have security i have security. somebody doesn't want me to go see the shooting and that it will be a sniper. that is your gun me. and this has
4:23 am
prepared an official petition to the chief justice to discipline the judges we call accepting cash and he's on his way to testify to the judicial council committee here in against the way with judges he can give evidence knowing that he has immunity from prosecution for bribing judges is normally a serious criminal offense but the attorney general is the clear the nasa whistleblower which means he's protected from the consequences. it took two years for an assist team to collect five hundred hours of undercover footage. showing almost one hundred eighty judges and officials accepting cash and other gifts it was an epic. film and it is of cut the material down into a blockbuster three hour documentary which in us wants to show it to as many people
4:24 am
as possible. he's a range this series of free screenings at a crass conference and. it's tied to a suitably epic ghana in the eyes of god. it's a move that will upset his opponents and spark a legal battle. john in the book gray is one of a number of lawyers acting for the judges named in shamed in the film he opposes the screening if in gonna. take him money in order to be in for oil in use in his work he probably will go to jail as well but in britain where you will have established it. not by going to some cinema house and showing by going to a court of competent jurisdiction and making out your case he's trying to or mask
4:25 am
you know corruption and my fees i was in a society that's commendable. but it depends on the extent to which you take it. in the process trampling on derives. it's the day before the screening is june tickets of already been issued to leading politicians lawyers clergy and foreign diplomats giving. one of the nicest friends a comedian called funny face is doing an impromptu performance at a cross big shopping mall is drumming up publicity for the film i'm here we're just giving away five an effort to get four people to come watch undercover video of the judicial corruption. come and watch how people are taking money people yes wicked

4:28 am
day. lawyers for the judges are making a last ditch attempt to stop the show and are trying to track him down with a great. coincidentally this is the same hallway years before president obama had singled him out for his work. we see that spirit or register of. white on us. the rest of us like for. the screening maybe in real down to nasa is hoping he will still be a national hero at this time tomorrow.
4:29 am
witness documentaries that open your eyes at this time on al-jazeera. the nature of news as it breaks many of the people here came to this camp with injuries and illnesses already with detailed coverage the border between china and north korea stretches for more than fourteen hundred kilometers unlike the demilitarized zone the atmosphere here is very relaxed from around the world the water that comes in the trucks relist water from the shallow holes it is full of sediment and of course the high risk of disease. micro capital the capital which makes a great if. when nature is transformed into a commodity big business takes a new interest buying landscape protecting landscapes it's
4:30 am
a phenomenal opportunity to be able to use a business model to achieve sustainability of nature but at what risk banks of course don't do that because they have at the heart protection of nature they do that because they see a businessman pricing the planet at this time on al-jazeera. hello again i'm fully back with the headlines the number of people dead from sunday night smashing in las vegas has risen to fifty nine five hundred twenty seven people were also injured in the shooting the deadliest in modern u.s. history but i have recovered eighteen more firearms and explosives on the gunman's home north of las vegas. we retrieved in excess there are only four

4:33 am
us. and this era mayor unless his controversial documentary is going ahead even though the judges he's name in the trying to get it stopped. i would like the way one way or. the place is now ready we have put it up so please outside that will be with you thousands of people have been given free tickets to see the on the cover and pick which features fergie for judges filmed allegedly accepting gripes people from all walks of life going long queues at home by phone about a couple going off the baby of. the police
4:34 am
convoy escorts and that's his call because he's received several death threats. form and this is com has hit rush hour traffic. and he's carrying the only copy of the film. who is acting for the judge's fower to get there with against the mass of the screen in this still in doubt because now they're trying to wean junk this conference center instead got my head out on the right there with all the people is preventing and that makes me a couple. because of fears for his safety and that is meant to be going through the saw i had the designs to go
4:35 am
through the front despite his unusual closure of in a few people so. to have spotted the creator of tonight's film it's being talked about and people are trying to describe how the whole thing took place but we're going to be given an opportunity to see what it is like yes i'm very excited. about corruption ok games before. we die the proprietor expansiveness this so we can see for ourselves what's really goes on behind closed doors. those. scenes shake. all of us. no doubt this is the biggest scandal in the history of our country.
4:36 am
to do this to us tied up with the police state to finish. she. has no b.s. . if we have the perception with evidence hard evidence to prove that the judicial system is corrupt where are we going as a country we have a serious problem at times and if some people would be thinking that this would be for to talk to democrats in this country get a leading member of the government who's seen the film gives a nexus techniques a clean bill of health and i think that those who argue on the issues of whether this was a sting operation or whether he said people are poor about instigated people also saying that giving money to get this was driving them out of the middle class you
4:37 am
know not the case that he was doing this what about the. the dutch ambassador also believes in assisting is just the fine. that is so devastating and shocking what we saw today. when. you see the footage. shortly after this the complex is stormed by thousands of people we want to see the second showing. in all six thousand people will see these three screens. a master of screen pass this the people that saw this queue to watch scandal of the century. and believed. that they looked out of the window in this saw that in a long time the conference and i had not given that it's such a crowd before and it was massive. they
4:38 am
just simply threw out their records saying that it was a matter of public interest and that he felt that the public had a right to know. and then to where people have gone on to attack me. thinking that i didn't have any evidence or i didn't have enough evidence after watching it at all as had changed because now they were convinced that there's really an issue. not surprisingly the judges and their advisers remain unconvinced especially by some of the methods which have been employed where some of the ones i've seen it amount to improper. when you're walking a guy yelling i'm one of five thirty when he's not properly dressed and you sneak into his. sitting room and he was engaging him in some conversation
4:39 am
and out of gun yelling hospitality and respect he answers questions and then you put money on his table and you go away and you go and publicized you know where you got these corrupt. i don't think i will agree we've got. to use this except from nic's film shows one of these investigators made in the judge's cool club as a guest house. we came across this quite clear he believed in the power of only one can see heart and instant sex the investigator known as one of an ass is by scales like to talk to us for a walk happened to. he kept on telling me he was going to help me see the cat. he was trying to have i think me. i didn't need to do it. by the family not to do it. ok so i would think you know we
4:40 am
take him. again. michel. and i don't want to have. this morning's papers have also picked up on this by scale story sex for justice court busted in and as with you it's interesting newspapers of filtering and feeding on the substantive stories so here was this court clerk and one of our spies girls and he demanded that he wanted sex before you could take us to a judge. well the details are there the facts are there who proposes that if you go to hotel it is that clark himself does that nobody forces anybody only what.
4:41 am
the judge in these headlines has been leading the fight back against the nasty. peta dairy a very senior judge who's filmed during the trial of a man charged with possessing more than fifty pounds was of kind of this the undercover expose a shines a light on the shadowy world of the court official nearly one hundred fifty of them look at who tried in the saga. this is just as there is one of the judges who have really tormented me in this investigation he's filed a mini mini suit trying to stop me this is mayor his efforts are to just bury and we met him and then we had a quick conversations with him i have wanted to influence this is very an aquatic case. he took a share of the money as you can see and then set up a good meeting between us and yesterday there. he acts for
4:42 am
a lot of men and for just as there is here jenny said that normally is ten thousand plus when you are dealing with the likes of this is very because he's a big gedge for me your name takes us to the house of justice dead this is just as day and this is me up but. yes i'm a are giving the money to justice there is no there were no quick meeting because mayor didn't want anything to be discussed there was a follow up meeting and the more unconventional bribe this was the goods that we went and gave him on that fateful day. one of the nurses investigators is doing the deal i'd rather go.
4:43 am
to the car meanwhile the crew took down the conversation with first of the judges fix our mayor who has been handling the deal. and. circles known told. you on your product are going to blow this one thousand are going to go to. the us. with the old it in no. order thank you my lord you saw there he has just realized now that he's been ripped off by his crack. system man and then he put it. on he seems to. be investigated i want to know whether the bribe will get the accused off the group to go into therapy yet although for a little shocking this was aquatic case. and because of the money you set him free
4:44 am
. across central core complex is where the judges and their lawyers get to fully explain their actions most days and nasa is required to attend to and their usual beat which one he's given evidence in disguise even though some of his opponents object. and there's also believes that the media are using the opportunity to work out what he really looks like. so today he's asking two of his colleagues to dress up in order to deceive them. the hearings of taken another unusual twist their ashes have been for you finding an interesting one judge even claimed he'd been dealing not with a nice but with a girl most. just said that when i entered there and i sat with him and i give him that the money he collected it suddenly i disappeared from the church.
4:45 am
and when he walked out he saw a white sheep or goats it's arid across the fence but hey this is africa. some of the judges have not made it to the hearings at all because they've gone off sick judge quest is one of these. and this is running with us will show the full extent of the power that gone as judges have a coup cases no matter how serious they are or how long they've lost it. this case resulted from an armed robbery in two thousand and seven at this picture station the terrifying night time it has never been forgotten by the victim or favors of the other second when the little guy came out who want to buy for. the food i ordered before. the forces. who are going to go.
4:46 am
over what i like what this little girl after the other to. kill me the one what is the one i select just like this one is pressing my first album. that all the girls start crying which. is the law crying. it took eight years for the attacker to face justice he came up before judge quest earlier this year. is a very popular day here. and he said on many crimean i case in fact i have been in prison i will be in before christ me for and that is his crack so he makes a point come imation ten thousand by two know these people. so one limits and he also then he said it took or they did in this quest because.
4:47 am
we have this and that they discover. all you have all my life. it's happened since then. it's contract on this he commenced. to get out the investigator hands over about a thousand dollars in local currency but it's only at the heart failure of a college i'm. going to. college this fall but what i would hope. so too. i'll get. good wholesome. prizes where we seem to.
4:48 am
be really whole sorry not i was talking. to mrs investigator makes a further i'm eighteen but he still hasn't come with the full balance that we have for example details so it was ok to. get there me now it's. reasonable. to judge appears to be getting increasingly annoyed because once again he's not getting the full amount. of the smile on my. personal ha ha. it's more has come. back and said this is chris pratt again. and this is a six thousand cities that were passed on to him and he's taking that money he's
4:49 am
looking at it and then you ask how much is it and i would tell you. how much it was the final payment was made on the same day that the judge freebie accused in fact the deal held up the start of the day's court proceedings because processes usually begin from is that still matter. on this day it was that into eleven a.m. christie was still not here because we had delayed him was he came to take them back today is the day he is going to really do the job the betting or two of them to do and lo and behold. he then decided to give that he basically read three four lines and that was it a case that had dragged on for five good years justice quest and even releasing self confessed on robbery what do you think about that just taking
4:50 am
a bird's eye think it and also that grammar is to be realistic. it is realistic. every word to the court or the time in which a quarter of all five times and there are several obvious obvious flaws are more of us care when there were marks. you see there is there only i don't know the. newly qualified graduates are cool to the bar you've gone up this is a joyful occasion but masses exposé as also cost a major cloud over the proceedings. the song is not in christ the chief justice. you are graduating at a time in a legal history well more than ever the perception of the public on the process is largely negative. allegations of bribery and corruption in
4:51 am
the judiciary and of the legal profession in general at all time high and closer to those possibly at a lot and. the chief justice is firm message to the young lawyers is one that is resonating around the well. when you have had to for judges who are caught on tape. with the primary pesher evidence they may have taken bribes is an indication that there's something hopelessly wrong with her system. you cannot afford to have a condition a neck country like canada that is not reliable that is car dependent that people have no confidence in. the results of this should be that those who have been proved to be corrupt should be dealt with extracted from the system and there
4:52 am
should be going forward safeguards put in place and a new mindset which is i'm not going to succumb to such appalling acts of corruption not only because i might be caught but because it's appalling. the legal investigation is not gone entirely nic is why seven of the senior judges were suspended in early october but one lower court judge is no longer being investigated because of issues with some of the evidence there are a wider concerns too that unless is exposé has backfired on the criminal justice system the real disaster of this investigation is the damage to the confidence in the judicial system and their oil to members of the public going on to social media and saying i had a case before that judge and the results was an extremely odd one i wasn't happy with the result and inevitably they're going to be thinking about what they can do
4:53 am
