Why and how were 2.5 billion euros in public funds taken and burned in worthless uranium mines? In June 2007, Areva bought the small mining company UraMin for 70 times its initial value. In October 2009, Vincent Crouzet, a crisis zone expert-turned-novelist, agreed to be the messenger to France for a key witness to the scandalous deal. In 2014, Crouzet published a novel eight days before the justice system opened an investigation into the conditions of this takeover bid. On the basis of the information in his novel, he was interviewed as a witness in the trial that, in May 2016, led to the first indictments, including that of Anne Lauvergeon, the ex-CEO of Areva. Now, at the convergence of all the investigations and actions connected to the case, Vincent Crouzet delivers the story of this state scandal that mixed international crooks, megalomaniac industry bigwigs, unsettling spies and adventurers, and corrupt heads of state… A breathless voyage into dangerous territory that readers will devour like a thriller.
