Bol 2016 The Age (Australia): "The Company that Bribed the World" 2016 Huffington Post (USA): "Big Banks Aided Firm At Center Of International Bribery Scandal" 2019 Financial Times (UK): "Former executives plead guilty to bribery" 2019 The New York Times (USA): "A toxic brand" 2021 The Guardian (UK): "Money from 'world's biggest bribe scandal' invested in UK property" 2023 The Sydney Morning Herald (Australia): "Bribery is part of the game" >Antoine Brensac delivers a gripping account of the shadow economy of the global oil industry. Through the eyes of "Figaro"; the whistleblower nicknamed as such by journalists and investigators; this book reveals how a small Monegasque company with a modest appearance actually became the nerve center of an international network of corruption and influence across five continents. Working for major American, European, and Asian multinationals, it helped secure more than $100 billion in contracts through bribes. >Both a personal confession and an uncompromising investigation, the book exposes an industry where corruption disguises itself as consulting and hides behind a façade of respectability. Figaro does not spare himself: drawn by easy money, sports cars, and champagne-fueled nights, he ultimately revealed everything to an investigative journalist through a coded advertisement in Le Figaro. The portraits of the family at the head of the operation are sharp; the critique of Monaco is unsparing. Superbly written and deeply human, this book is essential for anyone who wants to understand the real mechanisms and dangers of corruption at the heart of global capitalism.
