AUSTRALIA-BRITON FAKE DEATH - A reporter knocks on the door of a British man in Australia who had allegedly faked his own death.
Hugo Jose Sanchez, also known as Alfredo, was found in a Sydney suburb after a six-year joint operation between British and Australian police.
BRITISH MAN ARRESTED IN AUSTRALIA, HUGO JOSE SANCHEZ:
(Reporter says: So you deny the allegations?) "I don't deny anything. I don't accept anything."
Sanchez's wife was imprisoned in 2010 for her role in the alleged scam, after claiming over one million pounds in life insurance following her husband's apparent death in 2005.

(Reporter says: Hugo or Alfredo? Can you just clear that up for us?) "It's not up to me to say. My name is Hugo." (Reporter says: It is Hugo, not Alfredo?) "It's Hugo by all means." (Reporter says: Was it ever Alfredo?) "No" (Reporter says: Never?) "Thank you."
Sanchez was later arrested, and could face extradition to Britain.
