id documents. head of the operation is dowd's brother mohammed khan. his street name is mo dollars. his financial services firm served as the front for the laundering. he sort of held up as the sort of shadowy figure that control with money laundering util. africa that everybody wants to find wants to locate, one to, to discuss one's to catch. when to prosecute wants to use we've obtained a trove of thousands of documents that reveal fake invoices from fictitious suppliers address to move dollars, clients. no good, no services, purely just money's running. and i can tell you that what 100 percent certainty, because i done the logo we conceal the identity of one of my dollars form of business partners, bahama county, and known from money. latino is because would be

a 1000000 in crawford to be transferring to different countries to different places . and you've got other connections to do that to ensure the scheme success the laundry. his bribe employees at south africa's banks. you look after us, you push to all our payments. no questions asked one the specific company and we'll met your salary every month in cash. a ledger records kickbacks paid to staff at the fastest bank who are responsible for processing foreign payments. we were actually the executive management team of the seth and for the x pro sitting department, you can put it in that way. the moment was c, e o, of, of the company. without them knowing the ledger records bribes, paid to employees at other banks to for vin maker is a senior manager at the compliance division of standard banks are africa. and also

investigation is in her already. and specifically be at court that we received a pickle about smuggling operation taking place there. and we began to surveillance operation and we've gone to observe it and that led to some undercover work, what we got to meet some of the key facilitators of that smuggling operation and the, the key people behind it. one of the key people at the airport is the security manager named, clear shadowed. and he need to under cover reporters believing they want to smuggle precious goods in. now, to bob way the plan is very simple. shadow will be the smugglers eyes and is in the airport, making sure that they're not canceled. and that goals can be carried in hand luggage through the court when they get to the scanners. person on the screens will be bright, took away if you need

to be to me, what you ask you to do also is make some changes. if for example, you're taking money, we need to know how much you take your money into but you're getting your precious nose loads gambling. alexander is, is true of all the smuggling b airport. well, not all of the smoking at the airport happens in hitting compartments with baggage prior to ports. officials, many of the smugglers moving through the airport, carry all the right paperwork. but that's because the export deals that they handle

secured by bribery and corruption, or through political influence that corruptly acquired export deals and to intents and purposes is gold smuggling. is this a problem that is unique to zimbabwe or is it spreading across all the areas as well? i mean, it's true to say that ball boys political conditions may get incredibly fundable to smuggling. a recent report found that $1500000000.00 lost every year after you go to smuggling. but really what we build in the course of this investigation is an international picture of the corruption. and ultimately, it's all about control, whether that is controlling an airport, through official who can control what goes in and out for as, as we discover in south africa, if you can control a bank to you can move much,

much more money. and who knows what to do to that money? well, well, buy some gold from zimbabwe. alexander james in london. the thank you very much indeed. you can watch the 2nd of our 4 part series, gold mafia, smoke and mirrors. the full episode is coming up and i'll do 0 at 20 g n t. dunbar had and the news on including this is an opportunity for a bit of future. not just for the 1st people to destroy them. but for all destroyers, australia moves one step closer to recognizing for the 1st time indigenous people in its constitution, inflation and a weak currency or forcing even on level on to change what's on the menu during ramadan. and in sports, the unseeded player who's just hit a career high against the world, number 2 in miami, and he's going to have that story for ah,

a more school court has ruled a wall street journal reporter who was arrested on espionage charges will be held for 2 months of pre trial detention. evan gosh, which told the courtroom he was not guilty by citizen, was detained by russia's federal security service in the city of your catalan bog. jessica, which has been working in russia since 2017. it previously worked with the f. p. news agency and the moscow times newspaper. his lawyer says the trial in moscow was held behind closed doors and he was not allowed to attend. but i really don't public thinking that the program they held a quick trial either. now it took 3, maybe 15 minutes. and then as far as i understand, as far as we all here understand, he was taken away from here with the motion to place him under arrest from the newspapers defending his journalist and says, the wall street journal vehemently denies the allegations from the fs be. and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, aaron gasket,

which we stand in solidarity with evan and his family, or dosage bodies following the case in moscow. 31 year old journalist has just made his brief court appearance in left or turbo courts in the russian capital where the court has decided that he'll remain in custody for the next 2 months until may 29th . during that time, the investigation will continue, and we expect that the court proceedings will then resume at that point, and possibly a trial, depending on how the investigation on false, what we've heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri prescott, who said that his office is aware of the arrest and that this journalist was detained, red handed for espionage. we also understand that the foreign ministry spokesperson has issued comments on this case saying that what he was doing in acton berg has nothing to do with journalism. and that it's not the 1st time a well known western western or has been grabbed by the hand. the feeling here is

that this is an open chuck case for the official so far. that is not what we heard from at least one person who had worked with this journalists in that region in central russia saying that the fixer, who arrange interviews for him last week about the involvement of the wagner group in their, their role in the conflict and ukraine was what he was gathering information about, that's what the story he was working on. but also the same fixer also said that this journalist made an unannounced trip to that region on wednesday. and how does it hasn't? hadn't been heard from since until news of his arrest has come out to the white house correspondent, kimberly hall. good. kimberly. what's the reaction in the us? and we are waiving some reaction from the white house. we are expecting it within the next hour from a senior administration official, but in the interim,

we have heard from a number of democratic congressman, one prominent one study hoyer has said that if this is certainly our re, just given the fact that freedom of the press is essential, another democratic congressman jared moscowitz, calling this a kidnapping by the russian government. now, we should point out the timing of this coming at a time with bitter tensions between the 2 governments, the russian as well as us governments, not only because of the war and ukraine, but also because the u. s. has been very outspoken about the detainment of political activists as well as journalists. and we should also point out that this follows the indictment by the justice department against russian national allegedly the rush air re u. s. government saying that this russian national, in fact, entered the united states to 10 grad school under a false identity as a brazilian student, and is now sitting in a brazilian jail,

arrested by brazilian authority. so there are questions the us about whether or not this was retaliatory in the part of the russian government. we should also point out that this comes up following the do well publicized december swap of the w n b, a star, basketball star, brittany greiner. and of course that was the very well publicized swap for the russian arms dealer, victor boot, who of course we in that exchange left behind the american paul whalen, the marine or rather former marine, that remains in detention. so we're watching very carefully awaiting a senior administration official for some other comments from the u. s. government . we expect that they will be coming imminently company. thank you very much and he does our white house correspondent kimberly hawkins. brazil. the former president's yacht both sonata was returned home after spending 3 months in the u. s. state of florida. most anonymous being greeted by crowds of supporters as here arrived at the liberal party headquarters in brasilia,

a match party officials who hope he will lead opposition against president lewis. and i feel that his silva, both out of is facing a number of investigations which could affect his ability to stand in future elections. we are showing these people that for a moment and for a short time president let me see now. see i do that to silver is empower and he is not going to do what he wants in the future of our nation. we are practically 20 percent of the benches in the congress in addition to other colleagues of our to hear from several other parties. we have a majority within congress and we want the best for our country. today. the ball is in your court. i am sure that you will lead brazil to a safe haven. it is with great pride that i return monica and i can live for us in brazilian monica, what's been the response from his supporters, but perhaps more importantly, what's been the response from the government? ah, well,

his supporters were into the airport very early in the morning. some of them had spent the night there and now they're here in front of the at quarters of the liberal party. sorry. they are really there hopes have been raised there, waiting for him to lead opposition. he said he won't do that, but he has plans to crisscross the country and to unite the right. again, they're wanting the want to gain support for the municipal elections, which will be held next year. so those are his plans right now. the government hasn't done much except i just haven't done what he wanted, which was he wanted to be able to parade across the city that was not allowed for security reasons. and we have to remember that on january the 8th, some of his supporters attacked the presidential palace congress and also the supreme court. also,

he asked for bullet proof vehicles to crisscross that country and that he will receive vehicles, but they won't be bullet proof. one, again, i am talking to us from brazilian monica. thank you very much, cindy. we're going to bring in 2 young customers whose head of the far right observatory in brazil is joining us from south polo. thank you very much. indeed for being with us as we were just talking about before the ball sonata was facing several investigations, some of which might hinder him from taking part in politics. why do you think he's come back? well, he's come back because there's a, there's a man. there was a popular outcry for his return to brazil since he's the lead fall right leader in the country right now. one of the things that also not who might have considered in his return to brazil was that if he stayed away for too long, some other politicians trying to fill in the void for leadership on the right. we can. the thing is that also not with a very popular leaders,

so it's very hard for any other politician to try to take the stage and to replace ball sonata. so that's the reason why he understands that by being the only major voice against the current left ministration, he will be well positioned to, to run for the 2026 elections and eventually get re elected the investigations that he's facing at least a couple of them one involves diamonds, he said to receive a gift from saudi arabia, and there was another one over the allegations that he inside of the protest that we saw after his defeat in the election. how much of a risk is this to him? or is this something that he thinks perhaps he might be able to turn to his advantage? well, i think that pretty much everything that will be charged against both on i will be used to his own benefit as part of his political narrative of victimization. so

this is one element of the far right. it's a very strong popular strategy, so i think he's going to use it anyways. but the fact of the matter is that there are so many crimes that bull sonata might have committed during that is 4 years of his presidency from crimes against public health. during the coven, 900 pandemic crimes against democracy buying, signing his orders to take to the streets and destroy the presidential palace and the supreme court building. and also some corruption allegations move large at this point. so i think that there, there, there, there is a real, a tangible possibility for both amount to be indicted and eventually arrested. the only thing that i, i really think that the government, the current administration to think about is whether to get involved to get too much involved in these investigations. because lunar doesn't want to have his, his image to be associated with balls. and i was in prison because that might lead

the country before k. as you were talking about before boston auto does have a very strong following in the country. do you think the president, president lula, has created enough or achieved enough and a comparatively short space of time to be able to, to create a kind of buffer if you like to separate him from ball sonata? well, both lawson ad warden, brazil's 2 most popular politicians right now. i mean they, they are the most popular politicians in the history of brazil's democracy. so rule is also very popular. he's got a very, a large support in bays. and i think that if we look back into the 2022 election results, many people voted for both of them because the really love also now with that code like figure in many respects. so there is a lot of affection going around. so also not as a funky was lead to a has been able to mobilize people's fears in people's heat towards the

construction of this fall like moving results. but many people have also voted for him for different reasons, for example. so nato has adopted a series of very populous ha, expansionist economic policies, especially during an election year to capture people by improving social programs. and by redistributing wealth, ah, but with a very, very weak fiscal basis. so basically i think that if law is able to reach out to these people who have been the beneficiaries of most of our social programs, i think he might be able to create a buffering. lola is known for being very pro or so i think that gives him an advantage. ah, but, but being able to capture this more impoverished population to his side and to are taken away from the ball. so not just just very briefly,

you were mentioning before that that terrible sonata had come back with an intention of being part of the process. he has said publicly that he has no intention of leading the opposition. that he is simply back to give his expertise as he calls it, to his level or party at the is that a chance to both and that was very presence is going to undermine whatever candidate the opposition puts forward. if it's is not ball sonata, well, i think there is no clear candidate to replace most of the leisure of a right movement or even the far right movement result. also, not always, not a party person. so ever since he started in politics back in the ninety's, he, he's been to, he was a member of 7 or 8 different parties over the course of this political trajectory. so i don't think both on i do because he's not a party person. he won't use the party to leverage who's on canada's, he will. he will remain confident that his personality that he's

made his career mom will be able to form an amalgam around him for, for the years to come and eventually to let him run for the 2026 race. so i don't think that both on our will leave the position of the far right the of the leader of the far right movement. and of course, it doesn't have much to do with a party that he's a part of today that the liberal party it's, it has more to do with his populace characteristic. really interesting to get your thoughts on this gym class or some. thank you very much and these are for joining us. thank you. my pleasure. prosecutors and mexico are investigating the deaths of 38 people in a fire to migrate detention center. a suspected homicides are seeking arrest warrants. it follows an outcry over a video appearing to show security officers walking away from men locked inside burning cells. john homer reports from mexico city. this is the c c t v video,

has been an issue for some time in the country migrant detention center, which migrants himself an activist of described as little better than overcrowded prisons. the reality is, the mexico, his relationship with the united states depends in part on its stopping migrants from getting through and to its powerful northern neighbor. so the detention centers and their potations will remain. but tragedies like this one bridge yet more red flags about the attitude and treatment woods of migrants had within them. john home and odyssey to miss chrissy was young as a saying some asylum seekers and migrant say the fire as pushing them to try to make it into the united states. sooner rather than later. hundreds of mostly venezuelan citizens crossed a bridge and of course the gate to the us border city of el paso, others cross the rio grande river and were matched by armed american border guards . jackie elementary,
