Fake Sheikh entrapped victims, BBC investigation finds

The reporter claims to have secured around 100 convictions during his 30-year career at newspapers including the News of the World and the Sunday Times.

But a former associate Steve Grayson says he helped create the stories which unfairly targeted people.

Daniel Sandford reports.
