"... first-class journalism: high-minded, fact-filled and balanced, with some eye-catching visuals." Los Angeles TimesIn Black Money, FRONTLINE investigative correspondent Lowell Bergman examines the shadowy world of international bribery. The documentary reveals how multinational companies create slush funds, set up front companies, and make secret payments - often referred to as "black money" - all to get billions in business. But these practices are facing a new international crackdown, led by prosecutors at the US Department of Justice and allies abroad. At the centre of this crackdown is a controversial, ongoing investigation into the British-based multinational company BAE Systems and allegations about billion-dollar bribes.Black Money contains exclusive interviews with current and former prosecutors involved in the cases against BAE Systems, as well as the legal representative of the man at the centre of the allegations.
