around the world were instructed to make payments to bank accounts in hong kong. the money is sent to the philippines and within a very short period talk on the money is usually taken out in cash here in the philippines by. like a bank account holders who have control of the accounts on behalf of the fraud gangs the for the syndicates and the money then loan it is ultimately into cash. by now wine brown believes his portfolio is valued at $5000000.00 and he wants to cash it in but there's a catch the scam is in manila tell him before he can sell he says he needs to pay us tax. the tax money was granted i $200000.00 u.s. dollars but i said i'd apply before you get that get this cash back from i will follow up at once why i started to ask for the money that i have to constantly come

up with new why explaining why they're not i would buy the money it's just an ongoing. clever scheme to continue to j.p. and buy slightly. continues why news passed on to yet another mini based american criminal again pretending to be on wall street he's an alias jeffrey cohen . jeffrey crime in the mall is closed like every happened there is a cause it came out more i can't get all my funds jeffrey said you don't apply this much money for example and then we'll give you the funds we're going to release your funds to you. we shall mention twice for you changed your whole deal. to just $47000.00 ok. fine fine. your money will then be released.

a person not made it's going to cause a lot of trouble to the city get an operation so heavy now can. one group actually came to me and also to be rebuilt came to get rid of you if i have to kill i'm killing you down some pretty bad things haven't you already done a lot of things we regards to came when i saw what he was doing i just knew i couldn't get rid of him for the simple fact that he's hoping a lot of people in order to get very low spec in order what do you make of the fact that informant x. the man he's helping you now was once played 90000 pesos to get rid of you it was certainly a strange feeling talking to the person who had been instructed to to get rid of me and it sort of reiterated my belief that there's a lot more good people in this world than there is bad. so you contacted wind to tell him he'd been scammed what was his reaction well he was pretty shocked.

a little bit baffled that. what was going on but. he was also related. he had suspicions that something wasn't right he just didn't know what was going on he didn't know who to talk to. one brown high's private investigator can gamble to track the scammers and recover the money he's lost. or invested $1400000.00 u.s. dollars with these blocks i was sickening actually addresses that much money into my future and then to follow it out there wasn't any cash. it was real sitting. more than 5000 kilometers away in manila the criminals are unaware the victim knows he's been combed. the tables are about to be turned. i said firstly the 1st and most important thing to

do is not to let on to them that you know they being scammed because i'm going to have to use you to continue to communicate with them together evidence that will be vital for the case. one keeps getting calls from the conmen jeffrey cohen more appeals for him to pay money to 3 he has one plays along with him my job there was to keep them on the hook. every do want to me for the last 3 years or just trying to turn the tiles keep them in a conversation i tell them i'm always going to give them the cash to follow as deals. oh. it's so hard talking to people that you know this ripped you off and you got to talk almost on just to keep them on the hook it's just so hard knowing that they're on the other so one. of the world wallace when i said that laughing at you.

the fraudster jeffrey cohen is becoming desperate and aggressive to extract a final payment from his victim wang is giving him the runaround. all over the world people being scope with their small amounts bigger most. of it they have no mercy and have any syndicates do you think would be one of the one time. i'd say there are so about 60 groups in the police. have a need to vigils. hundreds or. i would say that they would be tens of millions of dollars involved in these frauds we have fan call centers that are rising money through securities fraud they directly linked to terrorist organizations in indonesia. after almost 2

years of investigation can gamble these ready to take his 1000 page brief to the makati police chief so you know since you've done the detective work for them haven't you you both the brick people the case to them yes we've done more than just call it compliant we've done investigation we've gathered evidence that would probably fall the suspects not skilled in financial problems particularly cross border crossings where where i bring where i bring expectations in the area across border forward and how to work with bridge or you're. going to see the police who need time to assign their own investigators and conduct their own surveillance to the case against a syndicate of foreign criminals is compelling. and we have identified a number of persons of interest actual suspects involved in dealing with mr brown there's 39 guys that actually dealt with him on the telephone. the makati police

chief is convinced it's a serious case and i think it's time for us here in the he says at the business district of the bin against to take on the talents even though he will help them they will help. those ugly party to recover the money. not knowing the noose is tightening around them the crime group is still trying to draw more cash from mine brown he's paid them nothing for 15 months but they persist in the manila police finalize their investigation. paranoid actions are playing to red sox as we speak right now so often making a great sacrifice. on the wide but certainly nobody to help us try to calm. you down expect your heart and cash to be taking a wife are you going to sell my house. and of course i go back

a lot of the high back which given a stable yard i need that money back so i can have a lost all. in manila he's hard earned cash is being spent by fools to friends daniel johnson in jeffrey county. jeffrey often posts on facebook where he's blamed he's a prolific poster he's even got his on food blog. but . but. to be brought up aeration is about to come to a crashing in. investigator came to get this final surveillance from police. in this high security gated community he searches for the home of the criminal who goes by the name is daniel johnson it is for you that.

a journey of discovery and reach a remote village in mexico's mayan reach. but who has more to learn about the ways of the world a route through makes a close contemporary wreckage and its mystical prost view finder glances on 00. exit polls germany's greens have surged in the european parliamentary election at the expense of the country's mainstream parties. this is all just 0 life from a headquarters and. also ahead a presidential election without candidates algeria's concentration or council says

none of the $77.00 hopefuls is eligible to take part in iraq signal support for iran and its standoff with the us while again offering to play mediator. the cast sorted and start threatening un peacekeeping missions will look at who is not paying their share. hello voting is in its final stages in europe as a continent decides on the make up of its next parliament sunday saw millions cast their ballots in 21. including some of the biggest say you member states exit polls in germany suggest it's big mainstream parties have lost ground while the green zone far right have enjoyed gains or sorrow covering the story joining us from brussels so some projections are not coming out barbara what do we know so far.

they are they are national estimates that some of the countries have started to announce actually not the country's but polling national estimates we're not going to get official figures until later on because of course polls are still open in some parts of europe but we have had nationalists and it's from some pretty key countries germany of course the biggest country in the european union 96 seats in the european parliament other countries as well greece of course almost a diametric opposite of germany a country that suffered deeply from the eurozone crisis where there was a strong anti e.u. sentiment also austria where the coalition government with a far right party the freedom party was embroiled in a scandal and the vice chancellor had to resign so let's talk about some of the details i guess based on these national estimates of peter klepper who is head of the brussels bureau for the think tank open your peter i thank for joining us again and so obviously these are not the final final results but what can you infer what do you think that these national estimates suggests the big and to stop listening

to search does not seem to be happening in germany the last journalist sure there was a scoundrel but the party the f.b.i. again to establish speak only loses a ball 2 percent points. in germany there are major gains for degrees but then if you count the greens and the social democrats together this sort of conquered the same voting share pretty much as 5 years ago it was quite interesting to see how the german social democrats are doing they are in a coalition government with us. medical's center right and today we also have regional elections were disporting seems to be doing pretty bad so this may well have an effect on the stability of medical school issue so we have seen since it's very badly venomous and supposing that means well that's why the result is you know that they are seem to be the way they are on that what did you make of the green

surgery that's interesting as well you think it's something that we could see at replicated across here. in belgium results for the local for national elections do not seem that well for the greens they're doing alright but not as well as some people have predicted in other countries i think it depends a bit in some countries i think there will do well but it seems to be largely a german phenomenon for now ok and obviously germany the biggest country within the e.u. $96.00 seats out of $751.00 we have and they the suggestion of what the results could be we're also waiting for france another key country when it comes to number of seats is 74 i mean do you think that between germany when we get fancy later italy will see the make up what are you waiting for which countries are you waiting to see all the fleet it will be very important of course but differently also france

and symbolically it will be important whether president mccraw is beaten or not for 1st place by. the pen. in. a very important. question will be whether the d.p.p. group which is sort of the center right group in the european parliament will be bigger or not than the social democrats because this may be one element that determines who will deliver the next president of the european commission but we will only know that at the end of this evening. yes we will be getting a lot of 1st national estimates and the results peter clip of the new york for the moment thank you so again we have been getting these national estimates were expecting the national estimates as peter was saying from france another key country 74 seats but we're not going to get the final results of the make up of the

european parliament an answer to the question as to whether the 2 main coalitions center right and center left will still be able to dominate the party the parliament we're not going to be able to get those results until later on in the evening all right i will speak to later barbara thank you for that update from brussels an election is supposed to happen in algeria within weeks but nearly all the candidates who put themselves forward have been unable to register in time of dorothy's hope the presidential poll would help the country out of a crisis that forced longtime leader abdel aziz beautifully quids sara hierarchs reports. july the 4th is a proposed date of algeria's presidential election but it doesn't have any candidate so far the constitutional council has declared that almost all of the 77 candidates don't meet the legal requirements to take part candidates from the future front party a national republican party withdrew their applications calling for the lection to be delayed and for the creation of an independent election monitoring body if he

can the authority can form an independent entity like a national committee with branches nationwide so that we can have an election not involving the executive powers namely the president the government and the constitutional council critics of the ruling military fear the election will work in its favor the army's chief of staff rahm agave saleh sees the election as an important step to restoring stability to algeria. year ago a presidential election will put an end to those trying to prolong the crisis it's important to form an independent body to organize and supervise the elections. on friday protesters chanted for saleh to resign along with other leaders connected to former president added i've got a freak or including interior prime minister abdul qadeer have been silent protesters don't trust the interim government which took over in april after beautifully could step down the 82 year old was algeria's longest serving president in power for 20 years it's been 14 weeks since protesters 1st took to the streets

demanding change now they want the election perspire and. a clear member and independent monitor must have more power than just organizing an election it should be able to supervise the entire process including declaring the results this is vital to bring back the people's trust despite the hardship of protesting while fasting during the holy month of ramadan demonstrators insist they won't stop until their demands are met sort of jazeera. and then a separate development algeria's news. prosecutor is pursuing corruption charges against a dozen high ranking figures from the governments of the former presidents they include former prime ministers. and as well as 5 former cabinet ministers their files have been referred to the supreme court its iraq has spoken out against how the u.s. has treated its neighbor iran in their escalating crisis but in the same breath

a rocky foreign minister told. they're willing to mediate reports on iraq's delicate position. if mama jeffords early for came to baghdad to clarify where iraq stands in the ongoing tension between the u.s. and iran iraq's foreign minister seems to have given him an answer and. against the unilateral measures taken by the us we are standing by iran in its position and god willing we can play an intermediary role between the parties if necessary. iran's foreign minister has proposed signing a non-aggression pact with gulf neighbors but iran says it will take action if necessary. comes i'm on we will defend ourselves against any efforts for a war with iran whether it is a military or economic one that would victimize the iranian people we will face it with strength and resistance iran and iraq have close ties to trade culture and

religion but iraq relies on u.s. and foreign troops to combat the threat of eisel and it needs foreign investment especially to develop its oil fields iraq has been doing a diplomatic balancing act for years and some say that puts it in a perfect position to be able to mediate between the united states and iran but to do it successfully like most negotiations it has to be seen not to take sides there are also fears that some of shia armed groups in iraq who are allied to iran might decide to upset that balance they might decide to take their own action their own initiative against u.s. assets in iraq. iraqis filled tahrir square in the heart of baghdad on friday demanding that their government put iraq's safety 1st and that their country should be at the center of talks to find a solution. to let up at the how loud the legitimacy on iraq has become a bridge where meetings have been held at the iranian embassy with european diplomatic missions and it's taken the decision to start talks with moderate

countries affected by the situation to lobby the united states. and iran who want to try to extinguish the fires of war out of minute iraqis may need more evidence to convince them that they won't be dragged into an unwanted conflict rob matheson al jazeera baghdad. is a former iraq ambassador to the u.n. and now director of the center for the study of the middle east that indiana university he says it's more likely that a european country will lead any mediation i have always been skeptical that iraq can ever play that role there are other countries in the region that have also that might have more ability to play that role and i think even they are sitting on the sidelines so i'm not sure that the iraqi government will in fact be able to play this role nor indeed do the 2 principal parties appear to be looking to the government of iraq to do so one of the principal casualties in the estimates of

many experts including some within the iraqi government that one of the principal casualties of such a shooting war would be iraq itself and so this is focused the minds of the entire iraq a political clout regardless of which side of the issues they come out on so it's more conceivable to me that a european power perhaps even switzerland which offer all represents american interests in iran and the president the united states met with this with president in the oval office oval office for 2 and a half 3 hours recently so i think it's more likely that a european power will have the ability to mediate between the 2 principals rather than a regional country also in iraq the military says at least 5 people have died after a car bomb exploded at a busy market west of mosul that happened in a village near the syrian border that times are out shopping before breaking their ramadan fast still ahead on.
