west african country is known as gone and in recent years has been home to a multi-billion dollar industry that once gave it its name using hidden cameras investigative journalists and. went undercover and scratch beneath the surface of what appeared to be in the desolate gold traders. last was about to discover all that glitters may not necessarily big gold from 2011 falls gold. my name is and i remain anonymous i am an undercover journalists here in ghana and with my team have spent years now infiltrating and fighting cramming corruption in my country my anonymity is my secret weapon and this time i am using it against a new enemy scum these for us this have become a major threats to companies and individuals looking to invest in my country's most valuable commodity. that's come as foreign investors and it's well below normal rates and with global gold prices now hitting record profits of us seem to exist

then sent. to a shop because initially did stop what he saw. actually. have been speaking to the police it's clear this is a growing and serious issue but i want to get a view from inside to find out what is really going on one of my connections monies to put me in contact with the goods coming yes i agreed to talk on the condition his identity is concealed. how many people are involved in this scum in this world . really myself people. aren't induced mr. truro to ward off connection drugs or go in there. to come by. anybody for sure who missed me due to the good work he explained to me that goods comes where just the tip of the iceberg part of a much wider network of for us this all working together these crimes are becoming

endemic in the west african region and gama is now a global hotspots on lines cops. people are good do good good are. really a problem for do we need friends who are willing. to sue for life. high unemployment and poverty levels are clearly a major factor in the rise of these cranks but these for us this a destroying people's lives as an undercover journalist my motto east name. is time to give these camps a taste of my meds i've been tipped off about the book was good. business abram mining company an informant has told me that it is a front for a well established group of scum yes but to prove it i need to get inside the prison and run a sting so f.n. listed an associate to the path of the one of the investor i'll be posing passes trent a professional footballer who has played so comparable i can take the mining company

. i told him he'll be arriving from the middle east in a few days' time and that he's keen to buy some within hours i get an interest yes the response from a man called patrick black sheep company even office to collect my friend from the airport and taking to his with the game is on a salaam aleikum be allowed this is the plan when you are right the scum ice will be the meat i would also be there i'll be waiting for you. our cover story is that we are friends and that we enjoy the way i play football they will prove to pick us once we have the hotel. steps quickly preparatory so that will be the very fast pace of the investigation before we move in to meet them to take us to show as they go and yeah that things. are right.

we are on our way to meet. the law. and to meet this comments for the 1st. this time so usually uncertain times cause dealing with the. times predict what do the most important and that it took him to. stay focused on being. an overall contest whilst. on our way to the sea he had arrived and had already been met by someone as he came of that plane. i was worried as i wanted to be with him when this comment i write. i had read insight to find him. in. them and who had met in a loose shit if davy cooled soon be arriving to collect us and take us to do will tell outside the way keeping and look up.

both. of. us who are waiting for their vehicle i decided to go ahead to the hotel and make sure everything with their room was set up about 10 minutes later this come as i arrived to collect just what are you what's happening . yeah them everything completely working. no issues for. a while. to give you. a real.

investigation. tonight. how.

ringback. yeah one well we had a conversation with him and he said the kid has to make him believe that we are doing it and he has been eating and things like that though consistently want to tell you to be wary and to be careful that you're not scalloped that's exactly what he was trying to say the next step was to check the authenticity of the documents

provided to us by patrick. is the money of monitoring and evaluation at the minerals commission the government body responsible for regulating the main insect but. also really look at outs i do so in the name here. i bring mining company limited reactionary service documentation from all sides trying to check on the background of this company merely testify that it's a firm and company because you don't often it in again as for consent is concerned it's gonna export promotion council it was consenting to think how many investors out there now communicating with these fraudulent companies i must say that i also blame the scum you don't by good luck too much to see in the markets something that is went to $100000.00 so they've gotten some who are selling to them for $35000.00

i tell you who are you for it is. in the consumer driven world of today it is obvious that scum is would be the only people who feel that easy money whether or not most come victims trying to make a fuss but $1.00 says wait 7 said tammy reminded that investors need to be sensible and take necessary precautions. the next day we were on our way to meets the scumbags who had taken us to visit draggled moved we managed to convince them to allow us to film the trip claiming that beloved business partners wanted to see the footage before making any commitment. as usual. would be behind. i had.

died for. one week. along with. every way to be seen. as weak. and. these might have been the most of these. 100. 75 kilos.

fast approaching my business and off my investigation. and i would say. that. will. pay me. to. do what. they want. to do. and we do. for safe keeping in sight and man claiming to be the bank manager assured of the good security. at the bank's head office revealed that often musette facility to see post. the alleged bank manager was honest come. their geological so they'd be paddled is

a government run but private testing facility their results from their test indicated that it was it's a 5 percent. it was surreal. to see and really to see on how to exports it it's not clear whether he knew he was helping to prepare to hit the front but what is certain is that there would be have been a carefully orchestrated terry to suck us deeper into debt trap. and on to semi finals it's over we have gotten to the finals tomorrow we've collected all the evidence for wanting to present it to the putting. the raid will take place home make a final feeling. on the critical thing is our body rate is that if it cooled must be that. to get evidence of intent to sell.

it. to the police some journalists me question my tendency. with those. that for me in this country seems to me and getting the job done. weeks investigation has gone through well as will to be. going to the beach in the kitchen in. the control. room which will be formed and i will which will be for a bailout and myself. to be sure. will be a briefing. there will move to the decision. to the position and with whatever it's ok thank you good luck. everyone was.

all we had to do. but there was a. different. way .

it was crank. nothing. can. come no. one has come to the. top of the 45 with the finesse. that. patrick's will tell the rest of this. week with. 500 people i think you're going to ask the famous how do you really. look at. the.

ensuing investigation came to a successful conclusion to police tests on the 75 kilos of confirmed that it was indeed the only one bag which must have been for the good purity test of the geological what's real. all do spare rest appearing in court over the next month to stand trial for the action. to be this for us this have been beaten idea own good but on most other deeds companies or individuals have been scamped up and down the country destroying lives and demi image and investment prospects. their result of this one investigation may not change anything but this was a small. fascinating film about dollars 1000000000 dollar gold trade and to update us on the story we're joined now by a basket of janice and that's our mail and whose identity we're not showing great

to speak to you just remind viewers who may not have seen as interviewing you before why the to skies well i put on this these guys because of security reasons. in africa the real threats to the journalists when you're under cover are way console in order to keep that face to be able to work on then a story i always wear this disguise and it's made of beats with african beats fool's gold i mean it makes for grepping viewing wake up both sides fearful of being exposed did you fare for your life when you were filming. well normally should be sold but when you do proper recchi then you know that tends to fall. short so yes there were a few yes initially but all got to do indulge down soon as we realize that we had done proper way before taking the action but there were

a few of them coming on not coming that was the phases of all our lives when we're working on this story whether they would be able to smoke us out or not those fears are real and it happens in many of our stories but fear fire lives i think was a bit more minimal in that story what happened to the scam and eventually they got busted we went to courts we took them the judicial process is still ongoing and then they are likely to be jailed likely to be dealt with yes the system is still ruling do you feel a sense of frustration with the system does it move too slowly for you. i have done several of us to our race and that we said jim when he's in jail for 15 years of the regicide general story that i did be a. joke of the ad the one i did on the coco smuggling story they are in jail for 16 years so put together so yes i do know that something the system grinds slowly but

aca i have seen results and i don't have to get frustrated by that i think it should in silly me a sense of wanting to push the front yes faith and then i think that people are beginning to see their realities they had core evidence is there and when you attempt to know what the house will it gets done. do you see the situation improving i'm in context of this film foreign investors still be wary about think business in ghana well i think that if you have a nation that sits on it. and sits down and does nothing about it that's when you should be worried this would come as would always be there but the bigger question is how prepared is your nation to fight the. most african countries we have willing police say this while if you take the evidence for them to want to take 2 steps so yes it's horrible we have comments all around bad what is claimed is full is that there are people who are also willing to take down this company and also i think

foreign investments also develop the net that if you smoke in it and you see anything going wrong you should be able to report it does your way the systems can't work you've been doing this this job for on 20 years now was the one that you'll most proud of well i would see my next work that is coming i am proud of the justice which i did for this saying. it's also a big story to them come past all the most corrupt judges and is that replica of it on the african continent is what makes me happy and then i think that another one is coming just states and you're going to slee absolutely and also it's been great to speak to you and good luck with your future work thank you very much and that's it for this week's rewind if you want to catch any of the other films in the rewind series you'll find them on everyone pays at the website but for now until next time .
