of the five patrick crown this is the exact moment when irrevocably became america's. next. that's what he did johnny treat it be a that. and also. so you have the core of the ocean easy to follow elated. fossett so it's kind of a new if you take if you know you know mom dad and they're loaded in about these are doing to me in a way to get f. and c. rules on today's date when as you said go up the army do not see the book is

already doing these i want it more for peaceful to general sickly delusional talk is already a problem another contender circuity zero it is you need the great guy to me and he's always he who sees he by the way in question because the devoted to this young . develops. these are truly differences but google more. exceptional they need the absolute. only hundred they look at they're not all the folks that they have it is it delete them 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. forty a week like too long 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 at the french national assembly. on. don't. economists fifty year. sure saturn on earth just cements be. a tank it surely sure sure sure sure like his junk sure. sure yes says. question thank you there's a full picture of the model. who sent you know that

a fake works as well as i can see bill. thank you to spec net but no proof i'm going to buy community imported you surely can't ship. and on the other commodity today patrick runs of a savant makes more sense to. you to them a letter is so that it on d. over be accurate. he left you no money go see a place you're safe as a dish out of the economy social issues up by at this hour doc will see postulate a total manali medicare b. now america. now in a money under that if i ask you do. you need to malice sit on the economy any day compliment of your commissions that i can to make it only monday call on it is that quick. it you know.

or. was it as you need. just give us. just give you an. idea. 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 dollars 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 eight years later. is beaten by these lawsuits have systematically put pressure on the companies concerned facilitating a purchase by general electric for patrick cronin admitting a connection between any corruption prosecution against him and the acquisition of dom 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. explain. don't. worry. this is a monkey just yet if you do it now. if you don't he takes the top should fall to
