The news that high profile judges were filmed while taking bribes has sent shock waves through Ghana, DW reported. The revelations came after two years of undercover work by the country’s foremost investigative journalist. Twenty-two of the judges who took bribes sit in lower courts in Ghana. They were caught on video and audio recordings taking bribes for cases they were dealing with, some of which were high profile. In some cases, in return for bribes, the unscrupulous judges freed criminals.
