Terrible tremor in the Airbus sky. Already weakened by several anti-corruption investigations and the targeted by industrial espionage, the European aeronautics giant has just been the subject of a legal proceeding issued by the American Department of Justice. The company is threatened of a staggering fine of several billion dollars or, ultimately, be sentenced in criminal court.
During this investigation, by revealing the background to the Airbus case, we discover how heavyweights in European industry have become the target of unprecedented procedures and sanctions, and how the extraterritoriality of American law and intelligence have become the weapons of an American economy at war.
