內容簡介

長臂管轄,鉅額罰款
法國大型企業高管出獄後打破沉默
揭秘美國挑起21世紀全球經濟暗戰的內幕、真相與警示!

2013年4月14日,美國紐約甘迺迪國際機場,法國阿爾斯通集團鍋爐部全球負責人弗雷德里克‧皮耶魯齊,剛下飛機就被美國聯邦調查局探員逮捕。
這場抓捕不僅僅是針對他個人的行為,而是美國政府針對法國阿爾斯通的系列行動之一。之後,美國司法部指控皮耶魯齊涉嫌商業賄賂,並對阿爾斯通處以7.72億美元罰款。阿爾斯通的電力業務,最終被行業內的主要競爭對手美國通用電氣公司收購。阿爾斯通這家曾經橫跨全球電力能源與軌道交通行業的商業巨頭,因此被美國人肢解。
而皮耶魯齊直到2018年9月才走出監獄,恢復自由……

「我的故事向大家昭示,美國是如何濫用法律和道德,將它們作為經濟武器,向法國甚至歐洲發起一場秘密戰爭的。
我們的大型企業(阿爾卡特、道達爾、興業銀行等等)在一個接一個地遭受這樣的攻擊。近年來,這些跨國企業向美國財政部繳納了超過140億美元的罰款。而這,僅僅是個開始……
這並非我一個人的戰爭。這是一場關係到我們所有人的戰爭,一場比軍事戰爭更加複雜、比工業戰爭更加危險的戰爭,一場不為公眾所知的戰爭:這是一場法律戰爭。」
--弗雷德里克‧皮耶魯齊 (Frédéric Pierucci)

In 2014, France lost part of the control of its nuclear power plants to the United States. Frederic Pierucci, former senior executive of one of Alstom's subsidiaries, found himself at the heart of this state scandal. His story goes to the very heart of a $12 billion thriller that illustrates the secret economic war that the United States is waging in Europe. And after being silenced for a long time, he has decided, with the help of journalist Matthieu Aron, to reveal all. In April 2013, Frederic 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. In doing so, they forced Alstom to pay the biggest penalty ever imposed by the United States, and to give up areas of control to General Electric, Alstom's biggest American competitor. Frederic's story unpacks how the United States is diverting the law and morality and 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 Treasury, in acts of sabotage that seem only to be the beginning of what's to come...
