a strong lobbyist for mccain but i doubt i could just. bluster the russian president of three years away from confirming a reelection bid twenty and twelve during an unprecedented with a section hundreds of journalists in china that it also said that moscow won't support the u.n. resolution on syria to see the libyan about its misused and. special report exposing corruption and criminality in afghanistan where billions of dollars in america's schools and drug initiatives ended up in the wrong hands that's next to nothing. the anti-drug official never attempted to find out how those quick fortunes were made. so who could do it. why not the anti-corruption commission. it was led by a childhood friend of president karzai. a few months ago in september two thousand and eight the commission was dissolved when something went very wrong this was my.

second shift office right here. empty. so basically people in two different images i had some foods heartland sell for people today calling in a case that fell or did see something going on in the pan asking people for pride and was the telephone go flying in food coupons only. as a number of record numbers which we have i imagine mary production. would fit cases to the fabs which is nigeria c.m. . oddly enough the commission never investigated the sheer poor district. you must escape all those holes is. really. a charge of the cooked fish which disempowers this was

a park and has been built by the people to be majority for all the people they have for their worship and that ministration office and the same service say that has is that they were the generator it was. probably. your body that our had looted showed poor us off to them touching it and just making it like. this kid had a fit. look chief untouchable had to leave his post precipitously. according to the american press was he spent three years in jail in the united states because of some shady business. see the receipt for jury duty it's. going to cross over again if i'm stuck up by the. car at eight and we are about france i'm going to work it's. a moment ago during the minute i want that side of the restaurant it's i'm about this question once upon
1:34 am
a time when i was in america i mention that say eighty four eighty five i learned on vacation with some friends and other people but there was not a drug trafficking or drug selling running to do some friends together and some accident happened in las vegas of course about integration doing for some part. that is that the case and. in fact mr was he had the bad idea of selling six hundred fifty grams of heroin to an undercover f.b.i. agent. and for you if you are making there were a good video for it so for them speak as much as you can if this is a case somebody accident happened just let some and he gave careful about. what is given us that piers is going to defame him then he cannot work for his nation. it is estimated that four billion dollars circulating in the country's economy come
1:35 am
from heroin trafficking. another four billion comes from internationally. this massive influx of money has triggered the arrival of gold speculators. afghanistan attracts war investors like sound business men that has made a fortune in the emirates. they're building these gilded shopping malls hoping to take advantage of the country's simmering opulence. a tell tale sign hundreds of brand new has used these in the streets. this. for my. the anticorruption deputy this sudden wealth is only the food eligible i thought it was to this point he takes us somewhere to lunch. this is not an s.u.v. dealership it is a banquet organized in the owner of a member of parliament who was assassinated all those who count on capital are attending want to. go to go.
1:36 am
to and it is usually only these people of the richest people believe who will pull his have axes about their no wealth away and the lies just show this is how international aid is managed it's catastrophic. that you don't where does the money end up. in the pockets of those based upon deputies the senate is just business is good is doing heads of n.g.o.s of the united nations to common hits still goes beyond this scope waste of food or the jury is meal is paid for by a french american english taxpayer. the same one who thought he was paying for the construction of roads of electric facilities schools. that are the money went into the pockets of the government and the build jails the luxury hotel to tell you. no way you can
1:37 am
see with your own eyes how your money is wasted as something americans the french people they usually see. what you are you see because they will the true money if simple is that if you gave them a list of your countries they would think it. you know in fairness international aid has succeeded in many sectors. in health for instance the french alliance for children and the aga khan foundation have finest medical equipment compared to what can be found in europe. even if the price of certain services like scanners are out of reach of many afghans. as for the americans they have built hundreds of kilometers of roads in record time. although it must be said that the first contracts going to american companies and that some funds were misappropriated. for instance u.s.b.
1:38 am
on a texas based companies that provide security for road construction sites is being sued by the american government for forging invoices. a u.s.b. i employee is accused of issuing false invoices for gas employees and current according to an f.b.i. investigation american taxpayers paid three million dollars every two years for services that were never rendered for managers of the company have been detained. him in films with a hidden camera u.s.p. i mercenaries they say that they were trapped by the f.b.i. so what do you mean. that it was they. investigated crossing the life they in this case of crossing the line is these are personal then to. put.
1:39 am
corruption is largely endemic to the reconstruction sector. unscrupulous subcontractors sell contracts to each other. they take a commission for the sale and this leads to the reduction of the original budget. an employee for a construction company has accepted to describe the scheme under conditions of anonymity. when foreigners hand out a construction project to an afghan company they become partners and they want their share. they request a commission for each job that they find nowadays can represent up to thirty percent of the budget if you don't pay you don't get a contract. this year. that's why the quality of materials is so bad here and they're taking a vacation all the people who work in this field used poor quality products really to the teeth in this and they say they're going to use turkish french or german
1:40 am
products but they don't you. know the materials come from pakistan everyone knows that at the u.s. and that's why you see so many building schools bridges and roads falling apart so that the. woman has noticed the poor quality of buildings and more than one occasion part of. his job is to control the quality of construction for the government has seen lots of substandard buildings but when he tried to denounce a shady company he had to walk. north through the. they were using low quality sand for the cement to build the walls of and also the walls were crumbling. we requested that they start using this type of sand or i think didn't take our request into consideration are you willing they ignored our request why it was a moment because they have friends in high places. that sell out. quickly i bet as you and i have seen publicly declared that if see you show me one
1:41 am
building i repeat just one building that was built correctly clinic. a school. see almost. surely one job it was completed the way it was supposed to be this week is breaking international norms look how quick all of this. for afghans the best example is they came to come to hospital. the building is located in a working class suburb of companies it serves one point five million people. you see because i wanted a good quality this building is so you can see everything is destroyed for us a.c.'s five years ago thanks to a gift from the international community hospitals renovated and a new wing and in this building is not working speciated the second story today it is falling apart. you can see everything is
1:42 am
a cycle but. the toilets and a bathroom is are closed up because of leaks they're currently being used to store broken furniture or case specifically because on addition there is no sleep the lot if you go see. all that have just because if there was a top this from the right way ahead of me if we used to tap hair then it was destroyed the first story of the roof of the building his of the earliest make up of the yes. it was there used to be this some food is the this is the first second or third of the world and if we use the top it will leak to the first floor you see that's where it leaks. before.
1:43 am
as you see it's all become militias or some of. this is the are leaks the story is that back good so you see it is the low quality tiles that they have to be used if it is it's and distrust of the site. is. the tiles are broken the electrical outlets thing from their case of us. as you see as the operation you can see it was a strike. you can see right through. we have studied the hospital's reconstruction budget. total budget is two point two million dollars millions that will soon know the way. first the united nations agency that hands out the project with draws a two hundred seventy thousand dollar operating expense commission. that leaves one
1:44 am
point nine million this money is allocated to an italian n.g.o.s that will supervise the work the in-joke keeps one million dollars to buy wash balls electrical wire and washtubs. it pays nine hundred thousand dollars to an afghan company that will carry out the actual job. two million dollars is a staggering amount for afghanistan. as a point of comparison how much does it cost to build a palace and a ship or district. altogether four hundred thousand dollars. get two million dollars will be spent to renovate an old building and add a new wing. a lot of money for the afghans especially for a worn down building. who is responsible to tell you n.g.o.s or the afghan subcontractor. the prosecutor's office in kabul has launched an investigation to
1:45 am
answer that question. the italian n.-g. o. initial goodwill accepted to meet with us. interests all said quarters are in rome they have not been back to come. to. their water is leaking in since we couldn't prove it because we didn't have the equipment so it will be could. tiles are broken but that happens but i still can't understand you're. still the fact that it's still running amazes me spy was sure that it was closed. she is the head of interstellar he did not oversee the hospital building site himself his n.g.o.s specializes in mine clearance. limited and in two thousand to have can i stand was a rough place and no companies were capable of rebuilding the hospital so we
1:46 am
accepted the job when i saw the report describing the final results oh i could see it was great you did a good job the report was generally written by specialists at least from the afghan government no no no from you know international technicians. and that's what i'm saying so they see this is something that's not right because you top. this is the field engineer who was in charge of operations he claims a lack of maintenance of the building among other things. this is like someone that they have to make and if they don't follow the book. it's not enough to know it's not that it's supposedly we don't know years old it's a it's a period no no no. no no no again we're going
1:47 am
back to the reality this is the part that was built by you this is this part here so this part will destroy this where it was built by your subcontractor four years ago it's just not going to mention and you can see it's falling down and it's very bad cement that this is a myth. that's of the extent of the specialists enough to say. there is no options but you have no never seen. because time you think there's a that's the truth of her story. there was a major earthquake in two thousand and four in afghanistan but its epicenter was three hundred kilometers away from the conflict and no damages were reported in kabul. for afghan authorities the explanation is far more trivial the hospital is falling apart because of poor quality materials for use. the
1:48 am
investigating prosecutor is one of the few fishelson genuinely fighting against corruption. on the morning we met him he was trying to get back salaries owed to teachers from a distant province side if other many would yes it's the governor he took the teachers' salaries. yes six thousand dollars. at the prosecutor's request the control commission started looking into the n.g.o.s books. i mean. he controllers. they came across a long time expenses that had nothing to do with the hospital he's refusing to say that most about everything then that's up to me. the prosecutor keeps invoices of the ngos operating expenses in this plastic bag for him they're simply too high. it's a true this is the whole communications network. expansion of salaries computers
1:49 am
travel furniture television rugs for their offices in addition we can allocate those expenses to be original budget for the reconstruction in these items cannot be considered part of their mission that rolled out any of it but for the heads of interest also their normal operating costs for a western in geo of cosi he never approach it to be due to the injuries due there is a complete over. the so called supporting course those who spotted so their communication courses their pick ups for the material there are so few computers and so on obviously a percentage of the all supporting c. is funded n.g.o.s should it should and should use it to go to war. as it normally five percent is or. afghan authorities are also surprised by the high cost of materials imported from italy. the admitting they said they had to buy materials in italy. windows in a study lands in pakistan water closets bathtubs in it and it was all i did it in
1:50 am
my cellar the whole place while the markets in afghanistan who filled with the future that hard line it's an airport as well as just a couple who is it's only economically good to italy to bring some w.c. this is merely mostly impossible to fill in barely revise their bags and we have no bank. people come from italy with the money in their pocket the year to pay the there was no no went back in the day needed. and for food. finally and that's the main problem the afghan subcontractor that performed nine hundred thousand dollars worth of work simply vanished. from us after a little we asked rather reckon was the company never existed as well it doesn't have an address one of which will be the cool president of the motion. this company which is called actually rehabilitation is not likely as an atheist suffragist so how can they make so much money. he. apparently the
1:51 am
subcontractor seems to overbuild some services like the demolition of an old building for eighty thousand dollars. that's three times the regular amount but the italian in geo continues to side with the afghan contractor even though it is flagged to me don't secure visit which surprises me is that you continue to trust the subcontractor acted like a bandit really us and all the very secret for it was a credit straight so it's really. correct many and they were good because i. know we're going nuts and they're nuts capable of giving the name of the guy who built the ospital you work so contracted in are not capable of giving me skillful number for example which is a number was provided to the attorney general literature was unable to find in the . the cicadas though he is home hold include a truck with a mobile
1:52 am
a foam and he was a thinking man's there's a last scene and there is a big hit detroit is full yet this is worth it. if you can only believe. then a few months after this interview tonight it nations launched an investigation against the american official from un o.p.'s who had supervised the hospital budget apparently get embezzled no less than five hundred thousand dollars. so how can you not be disappointed but you know when the world asked us for help against the soviets we were there. and we have made so many sacrifices for us from these countries they came to help afghanistan reconstruct itself so they said unfortunately instead of that is what we faced with loss but yet as you. trust towards the reconstruction sector it is going to leave within the afghan

population. expatriates are now synonymous with overblown salaries. and afghan n.g.o.s are suspected of running shady operations. when he was planning minister basher those confirmed that these operations were dishonest after investigating these n.g.o.s he requested that eight out of ten be closed. there are two thousand three hundred fifty five n.g.o.s in afghanistan the majority ninety percent a local. media one thousand nine hundred and thirty five are outright thieves which openly waste the funds that they are allocating loves the public funds internationally your people. trust from people seventy percent of their budget is spent on logistics. cooks bodyguards come over.
1:54 am
we requested was that the students be clipped the film with you on this it was a which is usually so i found only three hundred twenty to be honest see on show us if we kick out the corrupt to the thieves who took to. give the onus to organizations a chance to work through e.g. how i feel. special post was never able to carry out his plans. he had to resign from the government after his proposition. among the few n.g.o.s that had the approval of the minister was afghanistan them out of afghanistan tomorrow the school run by a french afghan national. budget is ridiculously low but it provides an education to five hundred street kids that never went to school. for these children and afghanistan means one meal per day and learning how to read and write. stuff that me to
1:55 am
my god oh my god she's made up i used to look at other children going to school and i'd be frustrated i'm jealous but right now i'm going myself i feel better and i'm glad they got out oh in financial year i had to work because my father could not provide for the family problems by that i didn't have a choice i had to look like you know much better now that i've come to the center in herning bugs i'm learning to read her lights he was astonished but he also made a good stick. chaos and corruption of the taliban's best allies. an increasing number of afghans are regretting although not openly the islamists iron hand. is a move under the taliban you didn't see such high levels of corruption go well you did come up to new comments a newly added it's today it's become
1:56 am
a widespread system systems that i'm interested in it's true we didn't always argue with their politics but when it came to economics there was less corruption and we had fewer problems just that and because of the. business we did it. in two thousand and one it took only a few weeks to oust the taliban from couple. but already insecure talented and violence still remains. how can one be surprised that eight years later the taliban are coming back.
