From Azerbaijan with love and money

I was privileged to assist, as a fiscal interpreter, the reporters who broke the story on money flowing from Azerbaijan to EU politicians by and through Scottish LPs. The size breadth and volume of the transactions are mind numbing. It is sad to see how little the EU politicians demanded for the treachery of selling their services and reputations.

A few articles and quotes.
