The ostrich farmer turned drug smuggler who travelled the globe to escape the law.

Documentary series. Featuring the story of a millionaire ostrich farmer turned drug smuggler who travelled the globe to escape the law.

The Metropolitan Police are up against it trying to identify a suspect accused of killing a man and shooting a policeman in Brazil, back in November 1994. And Detective Sergeant Pete Rance is working on another unusual case. The man they are looking for is wanted in connection with one of the most notorious match-fixing scandals in the history of cricket.

Plus the millionaire ostrich farmer turned drug smuggler who travelled the globe to escape the law. Martin Evans's scam convinced dozens of people to invest in a dodgy ostrich farm. After going on the run to avoid prison, Evans reinvented himself as an international drug smuggler believed to have made more than £37 million pounds. His flight from justice took him to Cyprus and South Africa, where he was eventually arrested. Evans was finally jailed for 21 years for fraud and drug trafficking. At a Johannesburg court a judge ordered his extradition.

And police in Yorkshire have a surprise for a violent robber who dodged jail in Poland. This fugitive has been living in the UK for five years and has started a new life.
