Both of you, kindly include atleast one or 2 examples to make your respective cases. I can think of Enron, Nixon which were uncovered by the press. But where did press uncover something that wasn't? How does that work ..
- katz 18y agoI can think of a few corruption cases that the press uncovered (or shed significant light on) - it is country specific though (South Africa): - The arms deal (in which half of the ANC had a share). - Corruption by the National Police Commisioner and head of Interpol (Jackie Selebi) and his links to organised crime. - The Fidentia financial fraud scheme by Athur Brown - A tax evasion scheme by RMB (a private bank for rich individuals) - Tokyo Sexwale's (a businessman with links to the ANC) involvement in Iraq oil-for-food fraud. - Fraud by state owned oil company PetroSA who passed on R15 million before an election to an ANC financier. - Links between the ANC investment vehicle Chancellor House and government contracts (i.e. conflict of interest) I am pretty sure you can make the same list for your own country.
