Great investigative job by this young Ghanaian Aljazeera reporter on gold scams in Ghana! Proud of him and his team for helping expose and apprehend these scammers by beating them to their own game. Good job by the Ghanaian authorities also.
Great story. Wish you were around 15yrs ago to bring awareness. I was a victim of Ghana, Mali, Sierre Leone and Burkina Faso transactions, working with a group of individuals here in the States who I thought were Legit. Very sad, loss alot, and those individuals are nowhere to be found. Can't believe this is still happening??? Be careful, guys!
Nah, the largest importers of gold (most of it illegaly and no tax paid to african authorities) are China, the UAE, Qatar and Saudi arabia... why do you think al jaezira is trying to put of people from gettinginto this very very lucrative buisiness? Biggest plunderer of African minerals today is by far China... don't let the "colonialist" accusations fool you... the table has turned, now china has its grip on all corners of african resources
Welcome to Ghana, where the riches gets richer and poor’s gets poorer... Don’t blame them but our corrupt government, ever since Nkrumahs government was wrongfully overthrown Ghana never became the same again everything scatter scatter...
Iddriss Mahmoud Indeed! If it was just this government then how come it’s like this all over Africa, with the possible exception of Kenya and maybe Mozambique? In all the years since the end of colonialism, what has Africa done for itself? If it’s not socialism, it’s Islam, dictatorships or ineptocracy like in South Africa. And now the Chinese are coming, followed by the Russians. The two most profoundly corrupt and unscrupulous nations. It’s time for the Africans who have the will, to take charge change the future. Continue like this and there won’t be an African future. The magnificent continent and its people deserve better.
I've just finished watching a documentary on how modern money is not backed up by equal-parts in gold. It sorta sounds as though fools gold is more valuable than current plastic money.
God bless you Anas, for fighting against corruption. Anas is doing what the government is suppose to have been doing . Corruption is making Africa poor and dirty.
GREAT WORK TO THE INVESTIGATOR REPORTER. GREAT WORK TO YOUR COLLEAGUES ASWELL. Just know the Black American community in Sacramento California watching you sir and much RESPECT✊
this happened in 2011i dont know how Al Jazeera is bring this video back in 2019.....research if similar issues still happens in ghana...thats the difference between Ghanaians and nigerians
Is good for them, let them leave Africa Africa need to be build more then any others countries in the world. Once these invester are in Africa its Will take time for Africa to be good
Well done sir you are pure journalist and this is called pure journalism learn from this all journalists. World and earth will be heaven within short time no doubt.
so what sense will it make if you have an investor who is willing to buy such huge amount of gold from you and you scam him or her. Why don't you just deliver and make it a continuous business for your family to even enjoy from.
Congratulations this was a great sting. I’m a legit gold miner in CAR. I see the same difficulties in Ghana as we have in CAR and Cameroon. I would like to buy from legitimate sellers lower down the chain.
great job catching those scammers, the guy in the beginning that was threaten and followed should get his own mafia to help him get the people that were following him. living like he seem to be looks like he has money and connections .
Its because of the white mans economy that makes gold worth anything. Before white man came along gold was just used as a decoration with absolutely no value whatsoever, so it only makes sense.
@@horyzengaming3935 gold is used in many electronics like computers and cell phones BUT it is VERY VERY IMPORTANT IN BUILDING SPACE SHIPS AND SATLELITES. so the value of gold will NEVER go down. BUILDING SPACE SHIPS, SATLELITES, AND GIANT OBSERVATORIES IN SPACE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
@@KevinP32270 I know pal, i'm white and went to school in England so they teach you that basic stuff at primary school. Less use of the capital letters would be great, its not as though you are saying anything people do not already know. Being the best non corrosive material gold can be used in almost anything you like. As i stated before, its worth is due to the white man no matter what you use it for.
I have an online girlfriend who claims she'd due to inherit $16.3 million in gold that's being warehoused in Ghana, and she wants me to take care of everything. All I have to do is pay a "storage fee" and the money is ours. So she says. Should I risk my money and safety or could this be legit? I smell a scam.
@@carlhorowitz6321 Do not do it they will scam you till your bank account is all dried out. I´m sorry and I so wish I was wrong but if I where you I would not believe a word she says, the bigger the numbers the more likely it´s fake. Just saying, hope all goes good for you take care man
They even showed him the gold down there at some company but he never got any. And they waited till the last day hes visa was valid and the guy that should go with him could not make it to the airport for the fifth time in a row on the last day either. So he had to leave and then they said there was gold in Germany he could get instead but of course it was fake so I had to pay for his hotel stay in Holland and the ticket back home. So they try to squeeze money out of people any way they can.
Why help more take more from those already taken from! How years do bigger “legal” companies get for extorting a precious product of these countries while the people and their country stays in ruins. “Scammers” from what perspective?!
im pretty sure this is just small footprint. millions of tons probably smuggle each year. if africa government up their ante and protect all gold trade, the country would prosper so much more.

The Africans are left fighting over the crumbs

Thank goodness we have someone like Anas!!!!!!

i love Al Jazeera! You have some of the best reports and documentaries.
Except they are silent in any issue about QATAR. Like the inhumane treatment of foriegn workers inside their country.
GREAT WORK TO THE INVESTIGATOR REPORTER. GREAT WORK TO YOUR COLLEAGUES ASWELL.

The way that police man arrested that guy was so funny. Imagine if that’s how our police force acted 😂😂

I think western country’s need to bring that back, because police today are to soft.
LMAOOO I screamed! It was hilarious
Loool and Ghanaians are calling Nigerians scammers 😂👏🏽
More there now, i have been scammed by Ghanaian in the past

Bravo Anas Armeyaw for the good job done. Keep it up.
You are the hero in my mind! Respect and love to you brother!! 💪🏿💪🏿
Im sure one of those cops stole the gold 😂😂
Now let see Qatar's labour problems. Confiscation of passport for foreign work force i hear is a serious peoblem in Qatar.
agreed.
We also need to see the widescale abuse of the domestic workers.
Who washes his dirty linens in public? Only Africans especially Nigerians and Ghanaians
Also in the UAE, south Asian workers receive the same treatment.
The arrest was very dramatic as are all African arrests
so what sense will it make if you have an investor who is willing to buy such huge amount of gold from you and you scam him or her. Why don't you just deliver and make it a continuous business for your family to even enjoy from.
21:08 wow the lampshade look is really hip this year
Great job keep it up, one job at a time, you are making a difference
This is Africa baby how can you trust, you can trust others things but about money and gold never ever trust anyone
You know you’re screwed when Mandingo comes with the Kalashnikov.
That arrest was hilarious 😂
Thanks for bringing this to light

@BurninSven1 what was the name of the company?
This is still going on I was a victim too very sad
Greed begets greed. Sympathy for those who think they can buy cheap gold, ZERO.
Good job done,Ana's

Anas you are too good
Annas was doing a very good job until he corrupted himself.
I love the “cousin it” disguise.
If you truly want to fight crime and corruption band Europeans
Its a white mans world
Knowing who we are is the start of changing that
You sound like a scammer.
what does "band europeans" mean?
If done legally. Will be fine. Proper authentication with approved body, payment through banks LC and pay tax if any.
👍 Well done Anas
