Clearstream, l'enquête
Denis Robert a révélé l'affaire Clearstream, l'enquête en 2001. Il enquête depuis cinq ans sur ce centre névralgique de la finance. Il a été entraîné au coeur de la manipulation qui a affolé l'insdustrie de la défense et les milieux politiques. Il raconte aujourd'hui cette affaire d'État, à partir de documents inédits : ses rendez-vous avec les principaux protagonistes, ses notes de l'époque, les mails et les SMS échangés. - Que cache Clearstream, cette société puissante et discrète installée au Luxmbourg ? - Comment Jean-Louis Gergorin, le numéro 2 d'EADS, est-il entré en possession de dizaines de milliers de transactions puisées au coeur du système informatique ? - Quelle était la mission d'Imad Lahoud, directeur d'un laboratoire de recherche en informatique et en cryptologie parmi les plus avancées au monde ? - Comment Renaud Van Ruymbeke a t-il été manipulé ? Dans quelles circonstances le magistrat a-t-il réussi à déjouer le piège ? - Qui a ajouté de faux noms aux listings de Clearstream ? Quels sont les vrais noms et les vrais comptes ? - Comment Nicolas Sarkozy a-t-il élaboré sa contre-attaque pour "pendre à un croc de boucher celui qui a fait cela ?".
