receives heavy support from his american partner general electric together they launch a media counter offensive what upon us what if we don't use that at all to do not obey is that it is. that's done that because it means of course no demagogue no longer walked six they made it easy on the exception as wallaby vision the early plagued if they e-mailed good sources and also all of us all caught on to my scrooge just all along saying oh we're on the trolley out there on the yellow dog out say israel are always where you're going to face your heart's forsaken jerusalem building or she had been i was like you seriously don't they come to love point to point to this and he. says what he said are you that still me get my place means that are you that stone in will meet you said and then you are no month to burke seems helpless against the general electric machine backed by major banks law firms and communications specialists the fight already seems to be lost it on the

program perhaps. now it is unique as a dentist as soon as tim but in a dramatic twist the minister pulls a new weapon from his pocket and invites himself to the negotiating table you know now to take on one book. key america then tanzania no i said not a place probably as most petitions he has termed don't through could a city of it would let us suppose he but you know the policy and they have no trust on cuz folks on do not really clichy did nationale if. this is all tal. our old place only only could see we don't do that it says in a comp we don't among. them is to numb the two as you've determined you to know it good person if you can are no one to book had achieved an incredible act of sheer force he had transformed the general electric else dumb pairing into a tripartite partnership with the french state in areas of renewable energy and

nuclear power it appeared that french interest and sovereignty had been preserved so it was it that going to play morning was that they often than not discuss them as if they play out on a manual that. and you look at shows. on them oh a clean way yonder a fake set that you always wear you and it hasn't caught on its cookies give away still false he saw ruefully there exists levy you don't you will know who fickle not is not that i don't you care politician at the conclusion do not diplomacy now the next you'll move lobbies don't see to not use their own families of the people these any on june twenty first twenty fourteen the agreement is signed by general electric and the french state the sale has become an alliance at this moment the battle file system appears to have been won however we have to go back a few years to understand the stakes.

were. the fourteen months fourteen months in a foreign prison fourteen months of never seeing a familiar face. bend and by all still management ignored by patrick crone and forgotten by his country. fourteen months of wondering when it will end. how did one hundred ranking alstom executive lose everything overnight. why is he. these men who question him so insistently. want confessions about his company do they want from him.

the thing about saudi arabia if they if the oil is allowed and if they get close to investigating what's going on over there they push the price of oil up now on last ten years because a for. backing in america america position the south as energy independent and no longer subject to the political pressures that can be borne upon them from opec and the saudis so we're going to see a real test of this because. all of the litany of horrors coming out of saudi arabia is making people feel.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten point zero or foreign tamping this. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one in only. in twenty years in the u.s. department of justice launches an extensive investigation into no stone they

suspect the french company of using corrupt practices for more than ten years to will contracts in many countries initial suspicions concern bribes allegedly made to members of the indonesians. government in return for the contract to build a power station refuses to cooperate with the u.s. department of justice but the investigation continues regardless and extends to other suspected cases in taiwan saudi arabia egypt and the bahamas else dumb systematic and deliberately corrupt practices are revealed across the globe book with again if it's not. been given then me it's not do not to answer it as soon as. that. is exactly more than you think. accounting and difficult. to do now as you can i can then assume a new view for that eclipse. then.

you. already condemned a broad it's surprising that all storm should simply brush the us prosecution of. corporate leaders are convinced that the us department of justice has no jurisdiction over events that occurred outside the us territory. again corsi the. apoc dogs. use it as you need to be able when you take the a pleasurable us law is the foreign corrupt practices act i'm you have sepia this allows the d.o.j. or department of justice to prosecute a foreign company for corrupt practices not on u.s. soil provided that the company has an identifiable connection to the united states after them overseas it. was it.

after limo was it easy for example system to communicate. that america. was easy people in. the example of a sat phone. if you. take it if. it is unique. with a refusal to cooperate the d.o.j. is prosecution intensified in april twenty first team while traveling to the united states. a one time alstom executive was arrested. you won't believe. just evaded. security. i think. we.

are you. it's not just for the record ruchi who is under arrest three other former employees some of whom have been retired for years before american courts they plead guilty to corruption judges and the case against becomes overwhelming. you do i mean yeah i mean. you don't. want to do. in paris on february the ninth twenty fourteen at the lugs derrius bristol hotel patrick crone meets the general electric see this is the first encounter the first

face to face meeting between the two men chronos temps above all he wants to sell the company he hopes to free both and himself from the clutches of the american justice system therefore places a condition on the sale general a big trick. settle any fine for. the general electric c.e.o. accept and commits to the condition having killed two birds with one stone patrick pop the champagne. has been sold and its economic and legal difficulties are evaporating into the american sky perhaps the department of justice will even defer the payment of the five patrick crown this is the exact moment when irrevocably became american. the idea put in to.

the next. that's what he did genetically it be a that he. said. so yeah. deval in the late people forget it it's and they don't think once it just kind of a new if you heath ask you know you know mom didn't have boarded up these are doing to me if only to get off and see rules on today's date on this you know so happy army do don't see the book is already doing these i want it more for peaceful to general sickly delusional motto is always a problem another country under circuity you know it is you need the great guy to me on please always he was he said by the way and question because they were devoted to him. develops. these are two differences because you will know more.

exceptional play need to be absolutely more. on hundred day look at all the folks that they have it is a daily daemon again. within days it is unique despite several alstom executives being arrested from twenty fourteen onward patrick cronin his team went to the united states several times never arrested nor concerned they could proceed with the sale to general electric and peace it's hard to imagine that at the same time very true she has been imprisoned for a year from executives are detained by the f.b.i. the moment they set foot on american soil so much so that else dom's director of legal affairs urges company managers not to travel to the united states strangely patrick cronin remains welcome to nightly news is false and use it for the week like tomorrow in france however patrick runs astonishing ability to enter and leave

the united states on hindered is raising eyebrows he's questioned by m.p. jack ma at the french national assembly. on. good. economists fifty years. sure saturn on earth just cements be. a tank it surely sure sure sure sure sure. sure yes says. question thank you there's a photo of the model. who sent you know that a fake works as well as i can see it. but no prove i'm going for it by committee or said you surely can't ship. and on the other commodity today patrick runs a vase of makes more sense to. it it is so that it

on the over be accurate. he left you no money goes the place you're safe as a dish out of the economy social issues up by and at this hour doc won't see postulate a total man only meant he could be near merica. last many a lead if i ask you do you see even get him ellis sit on your car and it's a compliment of your commissions that our economy only monday called on it is that . the commission is that i can to meet all of the loss of innocent at internet but up or develop possibly. middle class or is it as you need in a like a just give you a feel it of course a guest of your fellow parliament us at the fair listen illegal problem of western media loves that we are numb some peers e.g. a p.c. . thank you.

and this isn't general electric's first attempt over ten years the american company has bought five companies that were being prosecuted by the department of justice for corruption the pattern is always the same an investigation is conducted and an acquisition unfolds under the threat of conviction and a severe fine which is avoided have been american british and french companies a twenty six million dollar fine was paid by the gray company in two thousand and seven after it was bought by general electric this was described as the biggest fine ever imposed under the foreign corrupt practices act eighty years later that record is beaten by these lawsuits have systematically put pressure on the companies concerned facilitating a purchase by general electric for patrick cron admitting a connection between any corruption prosecution against him and the acquisition of

alstom is out of the question according to the c.e.o. the reasons were purely financial some experts and journalists even said the same thing at the time of the sale. if you don't get. it does she explain more. don't. worry. if you don't. wish cheryl don't. disappoint me. emmanuel mccrum. successor to on a month to bargain the role of minister of economy shares this opinion. page acts.
