Introducing The Corruption Diaries Season One

In Series 1 we sit down with leading white collar crime lawyer Jack Blum who tells us about his life's work during a period of huge geopolitical change and transformed global tax and financial systems. From the BCCI scandal, to Panamanian dictator Noriega's cocaine trafficking, to Lockheed Aircraft's overseas bribes - Jack was there.

The Corruption Dairies is a production of the Tax Justice Network, made by Naomi Fowler and Jo Barratt. Interviews with Jack Blum were recorded over several days at Jack's home in Maryland by Zoe Sullivan.
