5:45 am
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 manager of monitoring and evaluation at the minerals commission the government body responsible for regulating them a man said. oh i was a really look at outs i even saw the name here. i mean really mining company limited reactionary service documentation from all sides trying to check on the background of this company nearly i could 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

75. approaching my business and off i investigation. and i would say. pay me. fest to a private residence where do what. they wanted us. to detest in la. and as a president with a stick into the national bank when we're told the rest of the couldn't be done for safekeeping insight a man claiming to be the bank manager assured of the security. at the bank's head
5:49 am
office revealed that often musette facility to see post. the alleged bank manager was honest come. geological so they'd be padding is a government run but the private testing facility their results from their test indicated that it was it's a 5 percent. it was real. they came to see and really received on how to exports to 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 had been a carefully orchestrated cherry to sec us deeper into debt trap. and on the semifinals it's over we have gotten to the finals tomorrow with collected all the evidence floor wanting to present it to the putting. the raid will take place home make a final feeling. on the critical thing is our body weight is that if it cooled
5:50 am
must be that. well my. intent to sell. it. to the police some journalists me question my tendency to. look for me in this country seems to me and getting the job done. weeks investigation has gone through well and so to be. going to the beach and location in. one room before and. which will be for a bailout and myself. to be sure. will be a briefing. that will move to the decision. to
5:51 am
the position and with whatever. ok thank you good luck. everyone was. all we had to do. but there was a. different. way .
5:52 am
it was crank time. that they can. come no. i have come to from the. top of the 45 i have the finesse. that. patrick's would tell the rest of the. see. with the. far right. i think you're going to ask the females how he really.
5:53 am
gets. why there's. this. ensuing investigation came to a cesspool conclusion police tests in the city 5. 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. today this for us this has been beaten idea own good but on most other digs companies individuals have been scammed up and down the country destroying lives and demi image and investment prospects. their results of this one investigation may not change anything but this was a small. fascinating
5:54 am
film about god's 1000000000 dollar gold trade and to update us on the story we're joined now by a basket of janice and as our male and who's i don't see where 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 threat to the journalists when you and i come our 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
5:55 am
fall. short so yes there were a few yes initially but all got to do indulge down soon as we realized 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 as the 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 dollar is 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
5:56 am
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 the realities there had core evidence is there and when you attempt to know what the house will it gets then. do you see the situation improving i mean context of this film is so foreign investors so be wary about doing business in ghana well i think that if you have a nation that sits on it and sits down and does nothing about it thus when you should be worried what's coming is will 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 where if you take the evidence with them do you want to take 2
5:57 am
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 developed and they have that if you smoke in it and you see anything going wrong you should be able to report it isn't the way the systems kind work you've been doing this 20 years now was the. most proud of well i would see my next work that is coming i am proud of 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 you know you're going to slee absolutely and as it's been great to speak to you and good luck with your future work thank you very much and
5:58 am
