Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson failed this time, because she was think that only she could go under cover and sort everything like she did in Turkey. However this time Sarah Ferguson was the suspect and National News said Sunday that she was "very sorry" for her lapse of judgment after she was recorded offering to sell access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew for 500,000 pounds ($724,000). THE STING The tabloid News of the World said Ferguson, 50, spoke to an undercover reporter posing as a businessman and said, "If you want to meet him in your business, look after me and he'll look after you."
Asked if she was referring to the prince, she said: "Yeah." Andrew, an international trade ambassador for Britain, had no knowledge of the meeting, the duchess and the newspaper said. 'NO EXCUSE' The duchess said in a statement that she had financial problems, but "that is no excuse for a serious lapse in judgment, and I am very sorry that this has happened."
There is no suggestion that the duchess, who has been divorced since 1996, did anything illegal. 'FAKE SHEIK' The sting was the latest scoop for undercover reporter Mazher Mahmood, nicknamed the "Fake Sheik" after his signature ruse of pretending to be a rich Persian Gulf businessman to dupe celebrities, politicians and suspected criminals.
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has apologised after she was filmed demanding 500,000 pounds to introduce an undercover reporter posing as an Indian businessman to her ex-husband Prince Andrew, who is a British trade envoy. Ferguson said she was "devastated" and "deeply regretful" over the cash-for-access scandal. She accepted 40,000 dollars cash deposit from the reporter, on Monday.
The 500,000-pound deal was to introduce the reporter masquerading as an Indian businessman to Andrew and set up trade deals from which she demanded a further one percent commission. The sting operation was carried out by the News of the World. She claimed that Andrew, who is UK's Special Representative for Trade and Investment, was part of the scam. "Andrew said to me, 'Tell him £500,000'. "He knows that he's had to underwrite me up to now because I've got no money.
So if you want to meet him in your business, look after me and he'll look after you... you'll get it back 10-fold." She was filmed telling the undercover reporter how to transfer the 500,000 pounds into her private HSBC bank account. She told the reporter,"500,000 pounds when you can, to me, open doors. Then that is then, like, then you open up all the channels, whatever you need, whatever you want, and then that's that, what, and then you meet Andrew and that's fine.
And that's, that's when you really open up whatever you want." The media report cited sources close to her as claiming that the 40,000 dollars down-payment agreed with the Indian businessman was to be used to put her former personal assistant through university in the US.
Her friends maintained that it was the original purpose of the meeting and it went out of hand. "I'm incandescent with rage that she has been so naive to allow herself to get caught up in this. She is devastated by the story and deeply regretful of the situation and the embarrassment caused," a spokesman for Ferguson was quoted as saying.
This is just clearly explaines to Sarah Ferguson, that very easy to go under cover and record things way the you like, because she has try hard to giva bad image to Turkey but failed with her own tricks and she is not just a pretty face. watch the video below.
