‘Bribe, Inc’ Director on Why the Global Corruption Doc Is the ‘Jeffrey Epstein Story for Bribery’ (EXCLUSIVE)


'Bribe, Inc' unravels the Unaoil corruption scandal, something director Peter Klein says is the 'Jeffrey Epstein story for bribery.'

But such was the fear over him being caught and the implications of what he was revealing to the camera, that the filmmakers went even further, blurring his already silhouetted image to obscure the shape of his head and body, quarantining his interviews from the rest of the media for safety and not just digitally altering his voice, but getting someone else to speak his words verbatim. Directed by multiple Emmy-winning documentarian and investigative reporter Peter Klein, “Bribe, Inc” initially follows the work of acclaimed Australian journalist Nick Mckenzie, who — with the help of Figaro and a tranche of emails — broke the story about corruption in Monaco-based company Unaoil, run by the Ahsani family. While the investigation began with reports of bribery by Unaoil on behalf of Australian multi-national company Leighton to secure contracts in Iraq, the various tentacles of the scandal quickly expanded across into many other countries and well-known conglomerates, with potentially huge global reverberations.
