america some of the most trusted people in the land allegedly took bribes and betrayed their public duty even if it's one guy all sells justice justice sold is the most dangerous call more d t on earth. and there. is africa's most famous undercover reporter for twenty years he's been a mass crusader against corruption a few weeks ago b m found his most dangerous operation yet. dissident previous congo in the history of. the most 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 flattens to bring down many powerful figures by shining
4:07 am
a light on corruption sometimes take a spotlight just as pack and i think a nice has provided us back for their own edifice to blow up. an ass era mayor and nasa is gone as beth. known but at least recognizable journalist. he's been undercover for nearly twenty years he never identifies himself on camera preferring to shoot his face wear wigs and hide under a hat two months ago new started to leak about his latest and most important investigations from. al-jazeera has been recalled in what happened.
4:08 am
and this is targets 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 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 us and one hundred al forty six to to show us that thirty or thirty only that is there. and as sad as it is that some of the judges. i did as who called in and i think. for example jet at nasa.
4:09 am
it. is caught on tape taken bribes cool so you can imagine that implications are huge for the country was a jet in the 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 him he was trying four men. they were accused of stealing over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from goners national oil company. to get access to a judge like this they first had to winnow rees clark in this case a man called gabriel. that will play the middleman. he would need us to buy jed's. of course as you can see we give him his share not match what
4:10 am
he takes it. and that's 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 seen in a judge's light this is not small and nurse says that this judge wanted around three thousand dollars more than a month's salary for a high court justice who spoke to him where the kids were given their narration and they who demanded their money be given to him so that's what you can see here is the man that has been given to give and give us an add on to eight thousand c.d.'s handed 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 gift. and i'm praying his three
4:11 am
hole 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 crushing our folks with your list of the facts everything first of all enormous resources are being taken out of the state coffers in them was resources are being taken out of private coffers and so all of that ended up with oh no to believe in this corruption in the award of controls in ways that the contractors are going to do is surely job you know if it goes corruption you know in the admission of studios it means that the quality of students who are going to end up wasn't juniors as all would be different. with huge natural resources including oil gone as should be one of africa's
4:12 am
powerhouse economies but it's not. a point not lost on ghana's most influential citizen corruption that's not all they distort. development it deprives the poor of services. and not only does it deprive the poor of services when the corrupt get away with it and there are no sanctions here creates in a society that kabir rotten to the cause. after two years under cover and nasa needs tiger i investigative team went 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. mr president. there's
4:13 am
a problem on my hands. what is the problem that you dish out. then he bow down his head. deep think. wow so how many. thirty four. and also briefed gone as most senior judge the chief justice to gino would. say as how long is this meeting want to go finish talking about we've been trying and. we're there for twelve hours. just a few days later the chief justice suspended twenty two junior judges and began impeachment proceedings against twelve more senior ones and this was told by the president his evidence would be vital but he was warned he'd be in for a tough time in x. to me and i prepared to subject myself to that scrutiny and that says that because
4:14 am
it's not going to be awful i said mr president. i can't put my life on the evidence i have. no consent for the fire as an undercover journalist and nasa has been laney's life on the line for nearly twenty years i am going undercover to find out who is behind this illegal business and how the ag gets in our way with it. initially a newspaper journalist is undercover techniques made him a television natural what's needed is governmental regulation and therefore spent to protect our children environment and our future. to investigate corruption of times no subject was off limits. and this was singled out for his campaign journalism by the us president when he
4:15 am
came to go now in two thousand and nine today i'll focus on or areas that are critical to the future of africa and the entire developing more. democracy opportunity health and the peaceful resolution of conflict we see that spirit in courageous journalists like us i remember and outs risked his life to report the truth and if you do stories that often invest import and attention like. best to keep the vexed place into human trafficking the chinese mafia 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 who recognized that. and this home these forensic techniques fervor might qualify and as a lawyer it was most don't in the new but he began to focus on the hidden problem
4:16 am
of judicial corruption if you look at records look i began i'm going to initiative out of order to look at the u.s. department of state report for better of me to report. always. they could dish out. as having issues and telling this off option. i felt embarrassed as an undercover and therapist that. we only left it at the realm of speculation and that we're going to flash as substyles to those issues. and not spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a network of undercover agents i mean to bribe judges and courts officials in every region of gone on cases they would be included family disputes fraud armed robbery and a great in fact any case up to and including murder. i have first the judges
4:17 am
seem to resist the chance of extra funds for their fair sex unless it was selfish there was no results coming and nothing and nobody was taking the bait on i was i spoke to my team it was almost like i recall one team member at the balls what you did there was not in there why did you see which was that. and i felt embarrassed worse 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 than rumor suggested. perhaps not and nurses team slowly realized what was wrong they needed to spend longer hanging around cool and to their faces became familiar some day we were just tagging along with relatives and not just saying anything about we address any of that court and we always said that
4:18 am
the place that i did this i knew when he raises his head so as soon as you do that beautiful visit the dead looks at your face and think that ok this guy is funny and . in terminal a nov and gone out and masses 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 a conviction for raping an under-aged girl and last his team went to plead for the young man. this is the jail or the city always a worry respected high court judge and come at it and all their original soul but rather than lead us to his house that morning and met and as you can see does have. the defendant is appealing because he claims the girl was actually sixteen at the time
4:19 am
the judge and soldier boys shouldn't be meeting like this but he appears willing to listen and he suggests that the girl's father should come to court to say she wasn't really under-aged. oh yeah i went. in my. mind that i think that the committee. chairs or what. we should look at in common we. then judge as helping us so that the guy can walk free. so we took the money. and then we handed it over to the judges anxious nobody should know that he accepted the cash i think. and he said oh. ok.
4:20 am
this is i was in jail and this is his claque was 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 therefore decided to go back to him. and this is team take a traditional gift bags of yams and more cash i think and see here is he collecting the money that we were giving him. the convicted rapist was freed from a ten year sentence with hard labor to return home to the gills neighborhood as a result of the nasa is intervention. not everybody agrees with the nasa is methods not even some from is one journalistic community journalists are not support just.
4:21 am
to be. intelligent agents you know not really substantially different from other causes some other quite m i five agents and so on we've investigated but our metals are also different you know. not a whole unless the rio and the us do in seoul there which is where the search has been is an interest and good and sought but the men thought a lot journalistic but a nurse is unashamed about his methods and believes the ends justify the means my journalism is a product of the society rock have swung and america and europe do a start we have a chance is strong citizens who would get up and ensure that they follow up and put those bad guys behind bass. here in the hall up in it is also. in the first week of september news of

4:23 am
to accept twenty four hour police protection and sent his wife and family abroad he's gone is inside the car with him. no no i have security of security. somebody doesn't want me to go see the shooting and that it will be a sniper. is your gun me. and this has prepared an official petition to the chief justice to discipline the judges we cool 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 declared a nasa whistleblower which means he's protected from the consequences.

only for to put them across this country get a leading member of the government who seen the film gives an ass is techniques it clean bill of health thing that those who argue on issues of whether this was a stingel regime or the easter people up or the instigator people also seeing that giving money to get this was bribing the probability clear of the view of the case but he was doing this for what's right for the dutch ambassador who also believes the net is sting is just a fine. but it is devastating and shocking what we saw today. but you. probably need to see it interesting it's. shortly after this the complex is stoned by thousands of people who want to see the second showing. in all six thousand people will see these three screens.
4:38 am
a mass to scream meet past this the people that sold this cue to what's a scandal of this century. and into. that they root out of the window and these saw that in the wrong them they're called friends and i had not given that it's such a crowd before and it was massive. they 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 move. and then where people have gone on to. me. thinking that i didn't have any evidence or i didn't have enough evidence after watching it tolls had changed because now they were convinced that there is really an issue. not surprisingly the judges and their advisors remain
4:39 am
unconvinced especially by some of the methods which have been employed some of the ones i've seen it amount to and probably. when rob walker died early in the morning at five thirty when he is not properly dressed. and you sneak into his. sitting room and you start engaging him in some conversation and out of garnering hospitality and respect he answers questions and then you put money on his table and you know are we are you going to publicize to know where you got these koran. i don't think our library regards. to his favorite this excerpt from an ass is film shows one of his investigators meets in a judge's cool club at a guest house. we came across this court clerk he believed in the power of only one caring seeing heart and instant sex the investigator known as one of the last is by
4:40 am
scales slated to toss free what happened to they can tell he kept on telling me he was going to help me see the cat. he was trying to have i think me. he was all fighting me though it has not by the families not to do it. ok so elevating them with him while out in the. i guess what if. one of michael. and i turned on the mark who got me. this morning's papers of also picked up on this by scale story sorry sex for justice caught busted in them as video is interesting. newspaper says of filtering and feeding on the substantive stories so here was this called black and one of a spice girls and he demanded that he wanted sex before you could take us to
4:41 am
a judge. you'd actually ha ha ha. ha. well the details are there the facts day who proposes that if you go to who tell it is that clark himself would that. what the forces enabled you omitted would. the judge in these headlines has been leading the fight back against the nasty. peta dairy a very senior judge was filmed during the trial of a man charged with possessing more than fifty pounds of kind of b.s. the undercover expose a shines a light on the shadowy world of the court official nearly one hundred fifty of who top in the saga. this is just as there is one of the judges who have really tormented me in this investigation is
4:42 am
the mini me in the suit trying to stop me this is a male he's a fixer to just bury and we met him and then we had a quick conversations with him about how we wanted to influence this is there enough quality case. he took his share of the money as you can see and then set up a good meeting between us and just there he axed for a lot of money for just as there is you only said that normally is ten thousand plateaus when you're dealing with the likes of this is there because he's a big judge sotomayor and then takes us to the house of justice. this is just as derry and this is me. but. yes may or given the money to just is there it was
4:43 am
a very quick meeting because mayor didn't want anything to be discussed there was a follow up meeting and the more unconventional bribe and this was the goods that we went to give him on that fateful day. one of then is investigate is it doing the deal i'd rather go. to he was going to do harm in one of those green took down the conversation we first or the judges fix our mayor who has been handling the deal yet and. i think the nine thousand. new on your product are implies this one thousand nine. hundred francs rumor last year or so they had us from hell and now that he's been ripped off by his crack to. a man
4:44 am
and then he put it. on has to be investigated i want to know whether the bribe will get the accused off but this is going to therapy you know bit. of a shock in this for aquatic case. and because of the money you set him free. across central cool complex is where the judges and their lawyers get to fully explain their actions most days and nasa is required to attend to and you choose your 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
4:45 am
to dress up in order to deceive them. the hearings of taken another unusual twist their reactions have been freely finding interesting one judge even plaintiff in dealing not with a nice but with the girl most. just said that while i entered there and i sat with him and i gave him the money he collected suddenly i disappeared from his chair. and when he walked out he saw a white sheep all ords it's arid across the fence but hey this is africa. some of the judges have not made it to the hearings it's because they've gone off sick judge quest is one of these. and this is running with show the full extent of the power that go on as judges of a coup cases no matter how serious they are or how long they last did. this
4:46 am
case resulted from an armed robbery in two thousand and seven at this picture or station the terror of finite time it has never been forgotten by the victim or for that a second letter guy could want to buy for. an attack and put down the order to source book i would be pissed at the fossil record and court it goes. overboard like what this little girl after did everything that the commander got so clearly the one who put this one as lets just let this police press in my first doubt. that all the girls start crying which one is the way almost awkward or coldness of it all crying. it took eight years for the attacker to face justice he came up before judge quest earlier this year. is a very popular hearing. and he sat on many crimean i case in fact i have been in
4:47 am
prison i would been before christ before and that is crack so he makes a point termed imation ten thousand by two know these people. so when we met in the old for then he said it took or they dish on this quest because. we have this and that they discuss. you have almost. lost. most months passed and send them where it's contract on the. most. tickets off the investigator hands over about a thousand dollars in local currency but it's only at twenty million dollars i
4:48 am
published on the. origin resort. hotel in dallas. so. i'll get. good wholesome. fries every time and. i'm afraid. to be wholesale slaughter them. and this is investigated makes them eighteen but he still hasn't come with the full balance we have provided for him he will live on it's going to. get there me now it's. really too much. to judge if he is to be get an increase in the annoyed because once again he's not getting the full amount. of my own
4:49 am
on my. testimony on him. it's a moral has come. back and this is quest again. and this is a six thousand feet away passing to him and he's taking that minute he's looking at it and then he will ask how much is it now with. how much for. the final payment was made on the same day that the day. judge freeh the accused in fact a deal held up the start of the day school proceedings because process is usually begin from that it to man on this day was that into eleven am quest or still not here because we had delayed him was he came to take them back today is the day he's going to really do draw the bed or two of them to do and lo
4:50 am
and behold. he then decided to give that he basically read three four lang's and that was it a case that had dragged on for five would be is justice quest and even releasing it as self confessed on robbery what do you think about that just taking a brother as i think it and also don't grammars to be realistic british realistic i worked at a court order to be worth a quarter or for five pounds and there are several obvious obvious was are more of us weren't aware marx. is a bit is there only i don't know the. newly qualified graduates are cool to the bar and gone this is a joyful occasion but mass is expose a is also cost a major cloud over the proceedings. the
4:51 am
sabras not increased the chief justice. you are graduating at a turnover in the legal history well more than ever the perception of the public on the process is largely negative. allegations of bribery and corruption in the judiciary and of the legal profession in general at all time high and closer to those possibly at all times 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 charges who are caught on tape. with the evidence they may have taken bribes is an indication that there's something hopelessly wrong with her system. cannot
4:52 am
