SHOCKER FROM THE WORLD OF SOCCER!

Oh yes, straight from the top and shooting rather indiscriminately, I might add. What's it all about? Well, the material below is in two parts: the real shocker first and then the genesis of the whole incident.

Here are the gory details that you probably won't find in your national dailies:

PANORAMA
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
RECORDED FROM TRANSMISSION: BBC-ONE
DATE: 10:12:06

JANE CORBIN: What happened after Panorama uncovered corruption and dodgy deals in the beautiful game?

REPORTER: Can I ask you... please don't do that... can I ask you how much money...

JACK WARNER: Leave me alone.

CORBIN: And what became of one of Britain's biggest VAT fraudsters, exposed on Panorama, the man who stole millions of pounds from the taxpayer.

REPORTER: Now, you were involved in the theft of 38 million pounds from the British taxpayer, are you going to pay back any of that money? Are you gonna pay back the money Mr Woolley?

CORBIN: How did a Panorama investigation help lock up this paedophile and change the life of a child abuse victim?

Plans for the future - is enjoy life and bring up my family.

CORBIN: And what happened when we looked at football closer to home - setting up in business to investigate the game's dirty secret.

Secret Filming: Well you'll to pay the managers to get them on side.

CORBIN: Tonight we return to these and other stories to tell you: What Happened Next.

JANE CORBIN: Last year a nurse, working undercover for Panorama, helped us show how a hospital was failing to care for some of its most vulnerable patients, the elderly.

Tonight Sarah Barkley reports on investigations following that programme, including one that might surprise you. Panorama had heard of concerns about the care of elderly patients at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, we decided to investigate.

Undercover Nurse, July 2005

CORBIN: For Margi, a nurse with years of experience behind her, going undercover to help us was a big decision and she knew she was taking a professional risk.

But our secret filming raised serious questions about standards of care on the ward we showed, like care for this patient, who staff had described as difficult, but did he deserve this.

PATIENT: Please help me

MALE NURSE: No! I'm not helping you. Can you sit down please.

PATIENT: Oh Christ. You're a bully.

MALE NURSE: (shouts) You are the one who's the bully, not me.

CORBIN: This old lady had been left sitting in a chair for hours.

NURSE: I didn't really think she likes being sat up all day in a chair but that's what we're told to do.

CORBIN: Even her most basic physical needs, like having an enema had been ignored.

NURSE: I think she's not had her bowels open for a... And you need someone to turn her on her side to do it, so we never get it done.

NURSE 2: Right, yes.

NURSE: If you remember, I keep forgetting, but if you remember that's great. But I think she's not had her bowels open for 4 or 5 days.

PATIENT: Help me. Get a nurse.

CORBIN: And Jean, who'd waited for hours for help to get to the commode.

JEAN: (very distressed) Two hours I've been waiting since I asked for the commode. I can't hold it much longer. I feel so ill.

MARGARET HAYWOOD: I can honestly say it's the worst ward I have ever, ever, worked on in all my life. I'm wondering whether I can face another shift on there me self, it's absolutely awful.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

CORBIN: Since our programme the hospital has taken disciplinary action against three members of staff, one has been sacked and one nurse is currently being investigated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, nursing's professional body, but the person it's investigating isn't one of the staff whose standards we criticised in our programme, it's Margi Haywood, Panorama's undercover nurse.

The Brighton Hospital has made several complaints about Margi, including that she broke patient confidentiality by secretly filming for us. If the NMC finds against her, Margi could be struck off the nursing register.

MARGI: I've been a qualified nurse for over 22 years now, with an unblemished character as well, and having this NMC investigation hanging over my head is... it just feels like a black cloud.

CORBIN: The hospital is still conducting disciplinary proceedings against other staff, and it's possible these could also be referred to the NMC, but for now Margi's is the only case that nursing's ruling body is investigating.

MARGI: The fact that I'm the only one being investigated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council seemed a little bit ironic to me, and totally upsetting as well. If I go on to lose my registration now it would.. it would be horrendous, but I do understand that it was a risk that I took to bring this to light.

CORBIN: Others too are outraged by the action being taken by the hospital to pursue her.

GORDON LISHMAN, Director General, Age Concern: Margi did something that was very brave and she set an example for a whole lot of other people in the health service - that ought to be followed day to day. In Age Concern we know that this sort of issue, this sort of problem, is something that's going on throughout the country all the time.

CORBIN: Margi is determined to fight any complaint against her and she's being supported by the Royal College of Nursing.

In the summer we were all glued to our television screens watching the World Cup, its moments of glory, and its disaster, its heroes and villains. As it all kicked off Panorama revealed a dirty game of kickbacks and corruption being played behind the scenes, it involved FIFA, the organisation that runs world football. Andrew Jennings was the reporter.

ANDREW JENNINGS: For the last six years we've been investigating how massive bribes are being paid to men at the highest levels in football, in return one company was given the marketing rights for the World Cup, rights worth millions. It's made me a bit unpopular at FIFA HQ.

JENNINGS: (attempting to access HQ) Why am I banned from FIFA House? What have I done?

FIFA MAN: (barring door) No comment.

JENNINGS: And they don't like Panorama much either.

MARKUS SIEGLER: ..press conference, we know exactly what kind of programme it is.

JENNINGS: We revealed that the bribes and the cover-up went to the very top, involving a former president of FIFA, Joao Havelange. I tried to ask the current President, Sepp Blatter, the most powerful man in football, about the bribes.

Good morning, President Blatter, did you ever take bribes from ISL, President Blatter? I must ask you, are you a fit and proper person to control world football?

We also went to Trinidad on the trail of FIFA official, Jack Warner. He's one of Sepp Blatter's Vice Presidents, and he's one of the rulers of the game. Warner runs FIFA's regional organisation, CONCACAF, which covers North America, central America, and the Caribbean. Every footballing nation has a vote when FIFA elects its president. And Jack Warner controls a huge block of votes that helps Blatter stay in power. Warner boasts about it.

JACK WARNER: I have told Mr Blatter, that whenever he is running for election, do not come to campaign in CONCACAF. He doesn't have to - don't waste his time. CONCACAF has 35 votes - he gets 35 votes.

JENNINGS: Jack Warner rarely misses a trick. When Trinidad's national team qualified for this summers World Cup, one local company in Trinidad was given the exclusive rights to sell tickets, that company was called "Simpaul Travel" and who owned it? Jack Warner and his wife. When news got out the government cried "foul".

ROGER BOYNES, Minister of Sport, Trinidad & Tobago: So Warner cannot be the Vice President of FIFA, the President of CONCACAF, a Director on Simpaul and the public can only go through Simpaul. It does not look right. It looks as though it's a conflict of interest.

FIFA found Warner guilty of a conflict of interest and violating its code of ethics, but Warner told FIFA that he had sold Simpaul Travel, so no action was taken against him.

Good evening Mr Warner, Andrew Jennings, BBC Panorama programme.

Mr Warner didn't welcome our attempts to ask him about this.

(to security) We're on a public highway, please don't interrupt.

WARNER: Please leave alone.

JENNINGS: (to Warner) I would like to ask you, how much profit do you expect to make from trading in World Cup tickets this year?

WARNER: Why don't you go f--k yourself!

JENNINGS: Mr Warner, I asked you, how much profit you hope to make from the World Cup this year? You are selling tickets?

JENNINGS: Mr Warner, I asked you how much profit you hope to make from the World Cup this year. You are selling tickets?

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

JENNINGS: No wonder Jack Warner didn't want to talk to us. Remember, when FIFA investigated his ticketing deals Warner told them there was no longer a conflict of interest because he'd sold the travel agency, well we've discovered there was still a strong family connection with the company, the Managing Director was Jack's son, Daryan Warner.

ANDREW JENNINGS And how do we know that? Because FIFA's auditors had started another investigation looking into the ticket deals done by Warner's company. And I've got hold of a copy of their confidential report. It shows that Daryan's company was reselling tickets ordered from FIFA by his father, the deals included 900 tickets for England games, according to the auditors the profit would have been at least half a million pounds. And the World Cup brought other opportunities as well when Trinidad and Tobago qualified for the finals in Germany for the first time. Their highlight was playing England in the opening stage.

[CLIP FROM GAME] It's a corner to Trinidad, they're not out of this yet, but if York puts this on Lawrence's head, there's trouble for England.

JENNINGS: Money from sponsors and the sale of TV rights flowed in and some big names came on board. The team understood they'd get a 50% share of those commercial revenues. The deal with the players had been brokered by Jack Warner, who styles himself "Special Advisor to the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation" and income from the championship was handled by a company run by another of Warner's son's, Darryl. The players expected a decent payout for their World Cup debut, but when their share of the championship revenue was announced, it was a lot less than they'd anticipated, £494 per player. I caught up with the team's lawyer in London.

MIKE TOWNLEY Lawyer, Athletics One The amount of money being offered to the players was something, you know, short of £500 a man, out of a campaign which was generating millions of dollars of sponsorship, millions of dollars, that's according to their own press releases.

JENNINGS: They protested and were offered more, but they're still not satisfied. Their lawyer wants to see the commercial contracts, he wants to know exactly how much money has been made and how much the team are entitled to.

TOWNLEY: I think what's gonna transpire is that a number of people within the Federation, and people linked to the Federation, and I have to name Mr Warner in that because his involvement seems to be very close, I think a number of people will emerge as having sought to keep the revenues away from the players, and to confuse, which is certainly one of the tactics at the moment, to confuse the situation to such a degree that they hope that the players pack up their bags and say it's too much trouble.

JENNINGS: We e-mailed Mr Warner asking him if he would grant us an interview about this and his ticket deals, a short while later, 29 minutes to be precise, he sent his reply, he told us; 'please be advised that I have absolutely no interest in appearing in any of your programmes with Andrew Jennings'. When FIFA met in Zurich last week on the agenda was the Warner ticket deal, so we took the opportunity to catch up with him again.

Mr Warner, good morning, welcome to Zurich, can I ask you, do you expect FIFA to clear you this week? Can we ask you, yet again, how much profit did you make selling World Cup tickets this year? Oh, Mr Warner, come on, you always say that FIFA is very transparent. Can you explain to the viewers why is it that the Trinidad players are so unhappy about their earnings from the World Cup? Oh, this is a very, very polite enquiry Mr Warner.

WARNER: If I could have spit on you, I would have spat on you.

JENNINGS: If you could spit on me, you would spit on me?

WARNER: I would not of course dignify my spit.

JENNINGS: Why would you spit on me?

WARNER: Because you're garbage.

JENNINGS: I'm garbage?

WARNER: You're garbage.

JENNINGS: But, you know, what the viewers are interested to know, in fairness, is how much money did you make selling World Cup tickets this year?

WARNER: Ask your mother.

JENNINGS: Ask?

WARNER: Your mother.

JENNINGS: Ask my mother? My mother's dead actually, but it's nice of you to remind me of that.

WARNER: Go to find her. Find her.

JENNINGS: Thank you so much Mr Warner. Thank you.

Two days later FIFA announced its decision, they couldn't be sure, they said, that he knew what his son was up to, so disapproval and a warning for the future but no punishment. Jack Warner, the FIFA power broker, has once again emerged unscathed.

The Ball Hostel Scandal November 2006

CORBIN: Last month Panorama went undercover in Bristol to find out how well the public is being protected from serious offenders released from prison on license and living in the community in bail hostels. Luke Mendon was undercover and our reporter was Paul Kenyon.

PAUL KENYON: Luke's undercover film was remarkable, it showed examples of bail hostel residents out committing crimes, most worryingly it showed one paedophile and child killer spending his days befriending children on a council estate. Another paedophile was filmed hanging around public toilets at a shopping centre and secretly taking pictures nearby. The probation service claims to monitor and supervise offenders in its care but it can't do that effectively when the offenders are out of the hostel during the day. So what exactly is that tough supervision regime?

HOSTEL WORKER: You can only keep an eye on them until they walk to the end of the path, once they turn left or right we ain't got a clue where they are.

KENYON: We filmed in these hostels because two murders had been committed by men supposedly under the supervision of their staff, what we found raises serious questions about what's been learned.

JEANETTE WHITFORD Chief Officer, Avon & Somerset Probation Supervision does not mean that they are supervised 24 hours a day, supervision means that they will be expected to do the work that is planned for them, to attend for their appointments and work with partner agencies in drugs and alcohol provision, to attend programmes that the probation staff run, that's what supervision means.

KENYON: The programme struck a real chord with the public.

Question Time November 2006

Would John Reid have announced an overhaul of the probation service had it not been for the Panorama programme screened last night? [Applause]

KENYON: Alerted to our programme the Home Secretary, John Reid, brought forward a planned speech about the probation service, he said it wasn't working as it should, he announced an overhaul and an inquiry into what Panorama had discovered, and we've been asked to help.

KENYON: The inquiry will focus on the Bristol hostels we featured, but we've been assured it will also look at the wider national issues we raised. Again we asked John Reid for an interview, but again he declined, we were told he didn't want to pre-empt the Inquiry.

Jill Dando's Murder September 2006

CORBIN: Other Panorama programmes this year have also featured in official investigations, the Criminal Cases Review Commission is looking at the new evidence we revealed in the case of Barry George, convicted of BBC presenter Jill Dando's murder, as it decides whether to send his case back to the Court of Appeal.

Faith, Hate and Charity July 2006

The Charity Commission is examining evidence from our investigation into INTERPAL, one of the biggest Islamic charities in Britain, where we showed how charitable money had helped build political support for Hamas in Palestine.

Fingerprints in the Dock May 2006

And evidence from Shelley Jofre's investigations into the reliability of fingerprint evidence has featured heavily in a Scottish parliamentary inquiry into the case of a policewoman who was wrongly accused of perjury.

Earlier this year we went on the trail of one of Britain's biggest fraudsters, investigating a scam that's costing the British taxpayer billions of pounds, it's called carousel fraud. Traders importing small, high value, goods, like mobile phones, from other EU countries, can bring them in VAT free, they sell them on in the UK charging VAT, but then instead of handing the money over to the Treasury they disappear with it. Now the government's trying to crack down but some businessmen are crying foul. Here's Justin Rowlatt.

Do you want to be a millionaire? May 2006

JUSTIN ROWLATT: Figures out this week show that up to 3 billion pounds was stolen by VAT fraudsters last year and all because of the way the VAT system works, as we showed in the programme.

DAVID RAYNES HM Customs & Excise, 1964-2000 Our government is trusting somebody with a VAT number, who imports goods, to pay the tax over when he sells the goods, and of course if they disappear the tax disappears with them.

ROWLATT: And ends up in the pockets of people like this man, Ray Woolley, he'd become 'Riviera Ray' when he swapped a job as a pipe fitter, and life in a council house in Stoke, for a life of luxury in Spain, all paid for by the British taxpayer. Ray was one of the few people successfully prosecuted for VAT fraud - to the tune of 38 million pounds. But Ray had simply walked out of an open prison and skipped the country.

It must have been quite frustrating to discover that Ray Woolley had walked out of an open prison?

Sir DAVID VARNEY Chairman, HM Revenue and Customs 2004-06 Yes it is frustrating, and I do hope that the viewers of your programme will watch this programme and if any of them have any knowledge about his whereabouts, we would like to return him to Her Majesty's hospitality suite.

ROWLATT: Though Ray was wanted by Customs, and there was an international warrant out for his arrest, Panorama managed to catch up with him in a plush hotel in Zurich.

RAY WOOLLEY: I'm Ray, this is my wife Bernadette. Are you Justin?

ROWLATT: Hi. I'm Justin. Hi Bernadette, this is¿.

He finally agreed to an interview with us.

You did get a nickname didn't you?

WOOLLEY: Which was?

ROWLATT: 'Riviera Ray'?

RAY WOOLLEY Oh yes, yes, I believe that was a name put to me, we don't¿ we're not 100% sure where the nickname came from, but I actually lived on the Spanish Riviera and my name is Ray.

ROWLATT: But Ray didn't like our line of questioning.

So my question for you is; you escaped from prison, you think you walked out, but you'd escaped from your responsibilities, your duty is to serve your sentence, and you came here to Switzerland to enjoy the benefits of your fraud. And that's the truth of it isn't it Ray?

WOOLLEY: (Ray gets to his feet and approaches camera) Either switch it off or else I'll snap it to bits.

ROWLATT: Snap it to bits then.

MAN: There's no need for that Mr Woolley.

ROWLATT: (calling out after hastily departing figure of Woolley) Ray, you were involved in the theft of 38 million pounds from the British taxpayer, are you gonna pay back any of that money? Are you gonna pay back the money Mr Woolley?

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

JUSTIN ROWLATT Since our interview Ray Woolley has disappeared again, we believe he's still somewhere in Switzerland, but from his Swiss hideaway he's lodged an appeal against the court order which demands that he repay the almost 10 million pounds he made from VAT fraud. We did ask Ray's lawyer whether his client would speak to us again, he just laughed.

WHERE'S WOOLLEY? Call Customs on 0800 59 5000 or e-mail customs.confidential@hmce.gsl.gov.uk

Interpol are still on the alert for Ray, so if you've seen him or know of his whereabouts Customs would be very pleased to hear from you. Carousel fraud is siphoning off billions of pounds of taxpayers money every year and Customs' attitude is now hardening towards traders in the mobile phone and computer chip industry, where much of this fraud happens.

What is Revenue and Customs attitude to the mobile phone industry do you think?

DAVID RAYNES HM Customs and Excise, 1964-2000 Their attitude must be that many of the trades in mobile phones that take place are fraudulent and that many of the people involved in these trades suspect that.

ROWLATT: Customs is fighting back by withholding VAT repayments to traders all the way down a supply chain if they suspect that any of the trades in that chain may have been fraudulent. Millions of pounds are being held back and it's making the whole industry sweat. It does seem to be working though and fraud figures are down, but the innocent get hit along with the guilty. I'm at a gathering organised by the Federation of Technological Industries, the people that trade in mobile phones and computer chips, lawyers are here to advise businessmen how to get back VAT that's been withheld. They don't want to be identified. FDI Chairman, Fred Howard, did the welcomes.

[Clip from meeting] FRED HOWARD: We do have Panorama present..

ROWLATT: But when it's time for the lawyers to talk, we're asked to take a tea break.

Well we've been told we can't film in the meeting, there's a lawyer addressing at the moment and what he's saying is that most of the traders will have had some VAT withheld and he's saying the prospects are bleak for them, he's saying there's very little that he'd be able to do to speed up the process.

We tried to catch the traders as they came out.

Are you traders?

But most weren't keen to tell us their tales of woe.

Are you traders?

TRADER: No.

ROWLATT: You're not a trader? Have you got a moment?

TRADER: No.

ROWLATT: Have you got a moment to talk to Panorama? Are you a mobile phone trader?

And finally we did nab some. So have you suffered from the kind of VAT withholding situation?

TRADER: 100%, suffered is a very small word.

ROWLATT: How do you feel about the way Revenue and Customs have dealt with this?

TRADER: At present - victim!

TRADER: We can't afford to carry on paying peoples wages, not knowing where the light at the end of the tunnel is.

TRADER: No one wants to lose. We know the Revenue have to protect its revenue but not at the right of persecuting innocent traders.

ROWLATT: Is that what you feels happened?

TRADER: 100%.

ROWLATT: And how much money have you got tied up, can I ask you?

TRADER: In total quite a lot of money.

ROWLATT: In total quite a lot, how much is that?

TRADER: Look, you're making me sweat.

ROWLATT: Tens of thousands?

TRADER: Tens of thousands, more, probably more actually.

TRADER: Across the three companies we've got about 6 million withheld at the moment.

ROWLATT: 6 million pounds, about?

TRADER: That's it, about 6 million pounds, and that's being held¿

ROWLATT: And how has that affected your business, 6 million quid?

TRADER: Absolutely strangling us, we've now¿ we're losing contracts that have taken us years to get in place.

ROWLATT: Can I ask how much they've withheld from you?

TRADER: 25 million.

ROWLATT: Maybe innocent victims but the government is taking an unapologetically hard line.

DAWN PRIMAROLO Member of Parliament Paymaster General If you can say to me - can you promise you'll never get one transaction in that, you know, tens of thousands, that might be innocent? What the investigators are looking to do is take those ones out as quickly as possible. But I'm sure legitimate business would say that in order to have a level playing field - because it's bad for them, it's bad for us, as taxpayers, if criminals can steal money from the tax system - a delay for the innocent is better than a payment to the guilty.

ROWLATT: But there's been a setback for the government, it was hoping that by this month the EU would have agreed to the so-called Reverse Charge Rule, for some goods, like mobile phones, VAT would then only be charged when they're sold by a retailer, but this change has been blocked by France, Germany and Austria.

DAWN PRIMAROLO: What they're concerned about, and we would have the same concerns, is that the VAT system across the European Union works extremely well, it's a transactional tax, and if we start interfering with that we could break the back of it and return it to being a sales tax, which is not a good place to be, so quite rightly any member State, we're the same, we thought very carefully about having this limited Reverse Charge, we need to make sure the details, the technical details, are right.

ROWLATT: But if the government can't persuade them, it will be back to square one, the fraudsters will continue to besiege the Treasury, stealing billions, and remember it's your money.

CORBIN: Last year we reported on the hidden story behind one cities crime wave, how young boys had been trapped into a life of offending after being abused by a predatory paedophile. Betsan Powys reports on a new police investigation sparked by that programme, which recently resulted in the conviction of another paedophile.

Crime Wave February 2005

IAN GIBBONS: Common assault on a man, assault, ABH, GBH, Section 2 violent disorder¿..

RAY ZOLA: I've been found guilty of burglary, theft, blackmail, violence¿

PAUL WYATT: GBH, I took 34 square centimetres of flesh from someone's face and neck after biting them in a frenzy.

[News clip] A Plymouth businessman, described in court as Britain's most prolific paedophile, was today jailed for life.

BETSAN POWYS: Two years ago William Goad was jailed for life for sexually abusing young boys over decades. Goad had abused hundreds of boys, and the police who investigated him claimed that his abuse had caused a crime wave in Plymouth, as many of his victims became criminals themselves. Some were there when Goad was sentenced, and the trial judge recognised them, they'd been in his court many times before, but in the dock.

What did that tell you?

Judge WILLIAM TAYLOR Recorder of Plymouth Well it just brought it home with raw simplicity.

POWYS: Brought what home?

TAYLOR: Why they were there, why they had been in the dock, and why they came back again and again.

POWYS: Apart from minor offences none of the youngsters had a criminal record until Goad started abusing them. Ray Zola was one of his victims, just one of those Plymouth boys who'd.. turns to alcohol, drugs and crime, thanks to Goad. He became a serial offender over many years, he went to prison, his children were placed in foster care.

RAY: I was addicted to valium, I would class it worse than heroin to be on, and it changes your moods, makes you very aggressive, especially mixed with alcohol, and I was doing that, and I would get into fights quite easily and that would give... got me quite a reputation within the city.

Reconstruction

POWYS: There were clear signals, Goad posed a threat to youngsters, like a passed conviction for indecency, and Panorama questioned why vital information about him wasn't passed on and why they took so long to stop him. When Ray finally went to the police, as an adult, the way he was dealt with left him distraught.

RAY: I was just left cold, that was it, 'ok, now bye'. No follow-up, no counselling, no victim support, no nothing, and I really couldn't get to grips with everything, I felt totally isolated, I had no one around, I'd just had a broken down marriage and I'd lost my family, and I'd lost everything at this point, and I was on a bit of a rocky road to say the least, so I wanted to take my life big time.

POWYS: Ray tried to kill himself but survived. His abuser was finally convicted and locked up but Panorama revealed that other paedophiles in Goad's circle, named during that inquiry, were never checked out. Prompted by our programme Devon and Cornwall police launched a new investigation, they now started to look at some of those men who'd been named as abusers, some times years before.

DCI JOHN LIVINSTONE, Devon and Cornwall Police: Well straight after the Panorama came out we started a separate inquiry, which looked into any of the offenders that were mentioned during the original inquiry and other people that were linked to William Goad. And it probably kick started it into operation, so that we, maybe not forced to do it, but it just brought it to a head, that something had to be done.

POWYS: And that investigation recently led to the conviction of another paedophile, 2 months ago Peter Norsworthy was sentenced to 15 years, one of Goad's circle, he sometimes abused boys alongside him. Norsworthy was found guilty of raping, indecently assaulting, and intimidating teenage boys for nearly a decade. As a boy Richard was abused by both Norsworthy and Goad. He gave evidence against Norsworthy in court. He doesn't want to be identified.

Richard and Ray have been in phone contact for a while and they've been giving each other support, but this is the first time they've actually met.

Like Ray, Richard's life was devastated by the abuse he suffered, he was only a young lad when he was introduced to Norsworthy.

RICHARD: I was about 12, 13, I met him through a friend who said that I could get drugs from him, because I was on cannabis at the time, and I started buying drugs from him. He was fine, so far, and then he started taking advantage.

POWYS: And the impact of that abuse won't go away.

RICHARD: I felt scared, angry, hurt, I feel dirty, the amount of times that I've bathed and washed, you can never get rid of that smell, it's with you for the rest of your life.

RAY: We've got nothing to be ashamed about.

RICHARD: ..exactly, it's not us that's in the wrong.

POWYS: Until now Richard's been trapped in a spiral of drug abuse, but things are changing.

RICHARD: I feel a lot better being off the drugs and everything now.

RAY: I feel better now.

POWYS: Richard's clean now and with Norsworthy behind bars he can start to build a new life.

RICHARD: As soon as that hammer went down, it was a sign of relief and it's like, 'yes, I can start living my life now, I don't have to worry about looking over my shoulder all the time'.

POWYS: Ray's life has been transformed too, since the programme he's beaten his addiction to alcohol and drugs and he's got something to look forward to.

RAY: Life's going brilliantly, I'm getting my children back, all being well, everything's been going really good.

POWYS: And what plans for the future Ray?

RAY: Plans for the future - is enjoy life and bring up my family.

CORBIN: This Autumn Panorama returned to the world of football to report on another corruption scandal, this time nearer to home. For years there have been rumours of illegal payments, or bungs, to secure expensive player transfers between clubs, it's all being investigated by former Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Lord Stevens, but Panorama wanted to get to the bottom of this too, so our hidden cameras homed in on football's dirty secrets, the reporter was Alex Miller.

Football's Dirty Secrets September 2006

The man we sent undercover was Knut auf dem Berge, a freelance coach, who'd done work for a premiership club, he'd been in the game 20 years and he'd had enough of football's dirty secrets.

KNUT AUF DEM BERGE I came across that corruption goes on and they have to, as you say in plain English, you have to "bung people" to make a deal happen.

ALEX MILLAR: Knut posed as an agent, he claimed to have a powerful financial backer wanting to create a new agency, one willing to pay managers bungs to do transfer deals. When he began to put out feelers he soon discovered agents who said that some managers would play ball in return for bungs.

MILLAR: One of those agents was Peter Harrison, he'd brokered big player transfers with leading British clubs and had good relationships with top managers.

PETER HARRISON: There's four or five I could introduce you to, but you would only need four or five. You can't deal with all the clubs, you can have.. if you get a good relationship with six or seven managers, you're gonna make a lot of money, but you'll have to pay the managers to get them on side.

MILLAR: Harrison has since denied he's corrupt and said that these conversations with Knut were merely pub gossip and banter, but he had explained how he thought our corrupt business plan would work with the agent Craig Allardyce, and his father, Bolton Manager Sam Allardyce.

HARRISON: What I'm saying is Sam mightn't take the money off you, but he would take money off me but he's made so much money now, his son, who's 30.. if I say: "Listen Sam, we'll give Craig some money. And he'll say: "Yeah, okay, we'll do a deal."

MILLAR: And when we approached Craig he boasted his family connections could prove useful.

CRAIG ALLARDYCE: I'll walk straight into the office and sit down with my dad. It's easy, it's easy. This is where we like to be able to build up other clubs where it's that easy.

MILLAR: And we discovered 3 Bolton transfers, which involved secret payments to Craig Allardyce, not declared on the official paperwork, now a breach of FA rules. Craig Allardyce later told the BBC that he had exaggerated his importance to attract business opportunities, and Sam Allardyce said that he has never asked for, or received, a bung, nor would he condone breaches of FA rules.

The reaction to our investigation was huge, Sam Allardyce was quick to deny the claims publicly.

SAM ALLARDYCE: Obviously I'm denying all the allegations that have been alleged against me, the matter is in the lawyers hands and will be resolved by due process.

MILLAR: Some speedy announcements followed. The first concerned Kevin Bond, working for Portsmouth when we made the programme, he'd moved on to Newcastle.

MILLAR: Bond had shown an interest in Knut's shady business proposition and Newcastle said it was terminating his contract. Bond still denies any kind of wrongdoing. The Football Association and the Stevens inquiry both announced they would investigate what we had revealed, and last month the FA announced new rules for agents, to be introduced next year. A number of people featured in our programme have been contacted by Lord Stevens inquiry, he's due to report his findings to the Premiere League this week.

The National Homes Swindle March 2006

CORBIN: In March Panorama investigated how sick and eld erly people were forced to sell their homes unlawfully to pay for NHS care.

They worked all their lives and saved and got a small bungalow to retire in, and it was just taken away.

The social worker said we had to sell the house to pay for mum's care.

CORBIN: The film prompted the biggest viewer response Panorama has ever had, nearly 2,000 e-mails and 3,000 phone calls, many of you had stories that deserved investigating and they led to a second programme 4 months later.

The National Homes Swindle: A Growing Scandal July 2006

Dear Panorama I'm tired of having to keep fighting, and fighting, the distress this is causing my family far outweighs the illness itself.

CORBIN: With the help of our programmes more and more people around the country are realising they can challenge the system if it deals with them unfairly.

PHIL SHAKESPEARE: Your programme was the first time I thought I'm not being victimised, this is obviously the way the system is run.

CORBIN: There'll be another Panorama investigation into care of the elderly next year.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PART TWO - THE GENESIS OF THE PROBLEM ABOVE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX




[Last Updated: Friday, 15 December 2006, 12:13 GMT

What happened next


Fifa has expressed disapproval with one of its vice presidents after an investigation into the illicit resale of tickets at the World Cup.

But world football's governing body has closed the case against Jack Warner.

He runs Fifa's regional organisation called Concacaf which covers N America, Central America and the Caribbean.

Earlier this year Panorama reported that a travel agency owned by the Warner family was given exclusive allocation of World Cup tickets.

An earlier Fifa investigation found a conflict of interest but when Mr Warner said he had sold his agency no action was taken.

However, his son Daryan, who is not subject to Fifa jurisdication, continued to manage the company and sold match tickets ordered by his father at a profit.

The latest investigation has concluded that Warner should be "scolded".

Marcel Mathier, who headed the examination by the disciplinary committee, told a press conference that the committee's findings were largely determined by a lack of evidence: "It cannot be proven that Jack Warner knew about the resale of tickets at higher prices.

"However, from a subjective point of view, we can question whether or not Jack Warner knew about his son's activities in relation to ticketing."

A statement from Fifa said: "The Executive Committee expresses disapproval of vice-president Jack A. Warner's conduct and reminds him to exercise the requisite level of care in ticketing matters in the future and to strictly abide by all directives.

"Jack A. Warner should, in particular, ensure that his son, Daryan Warner, does not abuse the position held by his father."

Panorama's reporter Andrew Jennings found Jack Warner and tried to ask him about the investigation.
