Bribery and corruption in the corridors of power
 ‘I should have just paid the bloody bribe,’ said Wanna Fairgo in Chambers the night before the trial. Needsa Brake sat patiently for her turn to speak. The muted hum of Barrister Huddleston’s cell phone vibrating on his solid Grecian-marble desk broke the tension. No more than a minute passed before he clicked off. His face was stern and gave no clue away.
‘That was Prosecutor, Diego Damocles. He says that if you do not accept the plea deal, it will not go well for your daughter’s situation.’
‘Fucking blackmail to boot,’ cursed Wanna.
Despotic management, hidden within an Australian government agency, conspires against Wanna Fairgo and his family for refusing to pay a A$10,000 bribe when introducing an original Routemaster London bus to the Gold Coast. Entrapment, fabricated evidence and illegal interrogation techniques deliver serious trumped-up criminal charges against Wanna Fairgo and his daughter, threatening a life of penury or worse, incarceration. |
