It also says it assumes Mr Alwan is now living in Germany under a different name.
The programme says he claimed to be a star chemical engineer at a plant that made mobile biological weapons in Djerf al-Nadaf.
However, its investigation showed he received only low marks in chemical engineering at university and was the subject of an arrest warrant for alleged theft from a TV production company he worked for in Baghdad.
The programme also includes footage of his wedding in 1993 in the Iraqi capital.
It quotes former CIA senior official Tyler Drumheller as saying: "It was a guy trying to get his green card essentially, in Germany, and playing the system for what it was worth."
German intelligence agents warned the US in a letter that there was no way to verify Mr Alwan's claims.
