Frédéric Pierucci Livres

La 4e de couv. indique : "Je m'appelle Frédéric Pierucci, ancien patron d'une des filiales d'Alstom. Après avoir été contraint au silence, j'ai décidé de révéler les dessous d'un thriller à 12 milliards de dollars. En avril 2013, j'ai été arrêté par le FBI pour une affaire de corruption. Je n'ai pas touché un centime, mais les autorités américaines m'ont emprisonné pendant plus de deux ans. Un véritable chantage pour obliger Alstom à payer une gigantesque amende et à se vendre à General Electric, son grand concurrent américain.

In 2014, France lost part of the control of its nuclear power plants to the United States. Frédéric Pierucci, former senior executive of one of Alstom's power company subsidiaries, found himself at the heart of this state scandal.

In the end, Alstom also gave up areas of control to General Electric, its biggest American competitor. Frédéric's story unpacks how the United States is using corporate law as an economic weapon against its own allies. One after the other, some of the world's largest companies are being actively destabilised to the benefit of the US, in acts of economic sabotage that seem to be the beginning of what's to come...
