Authorities keeping some bribe monies as exhibits – Anas Aremeyaw Anas
Undercover investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has revealed that on some occasions, the large sums of money he paid as bribes during undercover investigations have been kept as permanent exhibits by authorities, never to be returned.
This revelation came in response to a question Anas answered during his appearance at the Disruption Lab Network event in Germany. He was discussing his work combating organized crime in Africa with CNN’s Stephanie Busari.
Busari asked Anas whether he ever gets the bribe money back from the individuals he pays it to.
Anas responded, “Well, it depends. There have been certain occasions that the money has been used as exhibits, and the people who used it as exhibits kept it as exhibits, permanent exhibits.”
Anas Aremeyaw Anas says his team is set to release a new investigative project in January 2024.
He revealed that the project, which focuses on organized crime syndicates in Ghana, will be shocking and gory.
He made the revelation at the Disruptionlab Network Event in Germany, where he and Stephanie Busari of CNN
had a discussion on the role of the undercover journalist in combating organized crime in Africa.
Speaking on his latest project, Anas Aremeyaw Anas said the documentary will be shown on BBC Africa Eye.
