acts of corruption not only because i might be caught but because it's appalling she and the song threatens to bring down many powerful figures by shining a light on corruption songs. times take us back just a spark and i think our nurse has provided us back for the whole edifice to blow up . an ass era 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 shoot his face wear wigs and hide under a hat two months ago new started to leak about his latest and most important investigations so far. al-jazeera has been recalled in what happened.
9:08 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 day as a geisha. we've got thirty four judges. thirty four us and one hundred al forty six to to show us that thirty four only that his own governor. and as sad as it is that some of the judges.
9:09 am
added is who called in as i esteem. for example jet at jet nasa. issue. is caught on tape taken bribes cool so you can imagine that implications are huge for the country was a gentler sam is one of gone his 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 for 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 rees clark in this case a man called gabriel. that will play that middlemount. you want me best
9:10 am
about jed's. of course as you can see we give him his share not match what he takes it. and us 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 no small a nurse says that this judge wanted around free thousand dollars more than a month's salary for a high court justice who spoke to him where the kids were given the narration and they who demanded that 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 update on two 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.
9:11 am
after the money is finally handed over the lucky gift. i'm praying his three 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 crossing our folks with your list of the facts everything first of all in your most resources a big ticket out of the state coffers in the was a sources of being to kyoto protocol for us and so all of that ended up with a bit of luck to be in this corruption in the award of controls in the news that the contractors are going to do a short new job you know if those corruption you know in the admission of studios in is that the quality of students who are going to end up as indian years as all
9:12 am
will be different. with huge natural resources including oil gonna should be one of africa's powerhouse economies but it's not. a point not lost on ghana's most influential citizen corruption does not only 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 mrs i take it back a bit 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
9:13 am
methods. among the first to hear what had been going on was gone as president john muhammad. mr president. as a problem on our 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. see as how wrong is this meeting went well finished talking about maybe twenty minutes. were 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 thus was told by the president his evidence would be vital but he was warned he'd be in for
9:14 am
a tough time. axed me and i prepared to subject myself to that scrutiny and that says that because 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 they are getting away 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. infested gay corruption of the times no subject was off limits.
9:15 am
and this was singled out for his campaign journalism by the us president when he came to go now in two thousand and nine they're all focused on or areas that are 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 journalists like us i remember i doubt he risked his life to report the truth and if you do stories that often invest in port and attention like it's best to keep the wrecks placing too 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 asked who these forensic techniques fervor might
9:16 am
qualify and as a lawyer it was most don't in the new and he began to focus on the hidden problem of judicial corruption if you look at records look at the gun angle between the shia t.v. reports and look at the u.s. department of state to report a full but only to report. always. they can dish out. as having issues and telling these off option. i felt embarrassed as an undercover and then us that. we only left it at the route of speculation and that will 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 hardly included family disputes fraud armed robbery and
9:17 am
a great in fact any case up to and including murder. after first the judges seem to resist the chance of extra funds for their fast sex unless it was selfish there was no results coming and nothing and nobody was taking them on ours i spoke to my team it was almost like i recall one team member telling my balls what you did there was not why they do the same shows that. i felt embarrassed worse still twelve of the judges the investigators from tiger roy 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 unless his team slowly realized what was wrong they needed to spend longer hanging around cool and to their faces became familiar
9:18 am
something we were just tagging along with relatives and not just saying anything about we address any of the court and we always said at the place that i did this i love you when you raises his head so as soon as you do that beautiful visit. they didn't look at your face and think that ok this guy is funny and i caught. in terminal a northern gone unless his 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 go unless his team went to plead for the young man. this is. why respect that high court judge come at it and all their original fault but rather than lead us to his house that morning and met him and as you can see that's him.
9:19 am
there goes. the defendant is appealing because he claims the girl was actually sixteen at the time judge and so g a bush shouldn't be meeting like this but he appears willing to listen and he suggests that the girl's father should come to cool to say she wasn't really under-aged very. last year i will not. forget i went. in my. right eye to. see years. there's always. going to be. that they judge as helping us so that they guy can walk free. so we took the money. and then we handed it over to the judge is anxious
9:20 am
nobody should know that he accepted the cash i think. and he said oh. ok. this is i was a job well and this is his claque course not part of the incident. this was a day of judgment and he looked very good that day and he indeed he freed this guy this was after we had paid two thousand then as it is to him when therefore decided to go back to him. unless his team take 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 girls neighborhood as a result of a mass is intervention. not everybody agrees with an ass his methods not even some
9:21 am
from his own journalistic community journalists are not support just. to be up to us intelligent agents no not really substantially different from other causes some other five either instance or we'll investigate but our metals are also different you know not a home unless the rio and the us didn't so they were just like above where the surge has been is an interest and good and so 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 an america and europe through a start we have a chance is strong citizens who would get up and i'm sure that they'll follow up and put those bad guys behind bass. here in the philippines
9:22 am
it is also. in the first week of september news of an ass is sting operation against the nation's judges has begun leaking out the justice suspect at least twenty two judges and magistrates judges a wide stance on the response is overwhelmingly positive news papers are full of it t.v. and radio talk shows can't get enough of either they. were recruited to be. a few people are very unhappy a direct threat and that is life has been made when a crowd radio station and i says he's not worried well i have gone through it over the years and i just know. i mean why would you threaten someone without mentioning your name as a coward that's how i think them to be and like i said my point has always been
9:23 am
that that is a diversion i act 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 gone. inside the car with him. no no i have security i have secured. somebody doesn't want me to do this is a shooting and that it will be a sniper. is your gun me. and 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 has declared a nasa whistleblower which means he's protected from the consequences.

9:39 am
there's really an issue. not surprisingly the judges and their advisors remain unconvinced especially by some of the methods which have been employed where some of the ones obscene amount or improper. when rob walker ellinger morning at five thirty when he was not properly dressed and was sneaking into his. sitting room and was dark and gauging him in some conversation and. began yelling hi. but out of terror and respect he says questions and then you put money on his table and why we're here and you're going to publicize to know why we got these corrupt i don't think our library we've got access to his favorite is except for manasses film shows one of these investigators made in the judge's cool club at a guest house. we came across this quote clown he believed in the power of only one

9:41 am
kills and he demanded that he wanted sex before you could take us to judge. st. well the details are there the facts day who proposes that he should go to who it is that clark himself would that nobody forces in nobody wanted it would. the judging these headlines has been leading the fight back against the nasty. peta darry a very senior judge who's filmed during the trial of a man charged with possessing more than fifty classes of kind of base the undercover expose a shines a light on the shadowy world of the court official nearly one hundred fifty of the top in the saga. this is just as
9:42 am
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 a mail he's affixed to just barry and we met him and then we had a great conversations with him about how we wanted to influence this is there ian aquatic case. he took a share of the money as you can see and then set up a good meeting between us and just very. axed for a lot of mindful just as there is and he said that normally is ten thousand plus when you are dealing with the likes of this is there because he's a big change for me your name takes us to the house of justice day this is just as day and this is me up but. yes
9:43 am
me are giving the money to him just as there are there are 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 grooves that we went and gave him on that fateful would be. one of his investigators it doing the deal rodrigo. he was going to do carmen while the crew took down the conversation refers to the judge's fixer mayor who has been handling the deal. and. perkins known told. you on your product are going to blow this one thousand are. you know it in. order to burn through my lawyer
9:44 am
or so they had just realized now that he's been ripped off by his crack. system and then he put it. on he seems to. be investigated i want to know whether the bribe will get the accused off. to go into therapy you know that. little shock in this force 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 unless is required to attend to and where 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
9:45 am
what he really looks like. so today he's asking two of his colleagues to dress up in order to deceive them. to hearings of taken another unusual twist their assets have been freely finding an interesting one judge even plaintiff in dealing not with an ass but with a girl most. just said that when 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
9:46 am
a coup cases no matter how serious they are or how long they last did. this case resulted from an armed robbery in two thousand and seven at this picture stations that are a finite time it has never been forgotten by the victim or favors for the other second when the little guy could want to buy for. an attack and push it down the order before spoke i would be pissed at the forces. who are going to go. over what i like what this little girl after did everything that the commander got so clearly the one who put this one is let's just let this police press in my first doubt. that all the girls start crying for which one is the one almost equal to a coldness of it all crying. it took eight years for the attacker to face justice he came up before judge quest earlier this year. it's
9:47 am
a very popular hearing. and he said on many criminal cases in fact i have been in prison i was in before christ before and that is crack so the mix of point. imation ten thousand by two know these people. so when we met in real for then they said it took or they dish on this quest because. we have this and that they discuss. you have almost. lost. its astronauts and where it's contract on the most. tickets are
9:48 am
the investigator hands over about a thousand dollars in local currency but it's only at twenty million dollars i published. a large resort. hotel about. so. i'll get. a good wholesome. fries and everything. here wholesale a lot of them. and this is investigated makes them eighteen but he still hasn't come with the full balance little helper example will live on it's going to. get there me now it's. really too much. judge if he is to be get an increase in the annoyed because once again he's not
9:49 am
getting the full amount. of my own on my. testimony on him. to morrow has come. back and this is quest again. and this is a six thousand feet away pass into him and he's taking that money and 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 the deal held up the start of the day's cool proceedings process is usually begin from integrity 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
9:50 am
today is the day he's going to really do the job that bed or two of them to do and lo and behold. he then decided to give that he basically read korea for lange's and that was it a case that had dragged on for five would be is justice quest and about even releasing self confessed and moreover what do you think about with just taking a brother as i think it and also don't grammars to be realistic british realistic i will work to the court order to be worth a quarter or for five pounds and there are several other service was our of us when they were mark's. busy because they're lonely 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
9:51 am
a major cloud over the proceedings. the song is not impressed the chief justice. you are graduating at a target 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 the judiciary and of the legal profession in general is at an 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 resonate in around the well. when you have had to for charges who are caught on tape. with the evidence they may have taken bribes
9:52 am
