Frédéric Pierucci, former senior executive of one of Alstom's subsidiaries, found himself at the heart of this state scandal.

And after being silenced for a long time, he has decided, with the help of journalist Matthieu Aron, to reveal all.
In April 2013, Frédéric was arrested in New York by the FBI and prosecuted for a bribery case, despite not being involved at all. The US authorities locked him up for more than two years - including fourteen months in a very high security prison.
