An Al Jazeera undercover reporter code-named Angie gives hair-raising details on how she exposed high-ranking Cypriot politicians willing to help a convicted criminal get a passport.

After the investigation was released, the Cypriot government announced an end to the Cyprus Investment Programme (CIP).
