Dirty money

Corruption, money laundering and power abuse between europe and the Niger delta

Dirty Money tells the story of Dotun Oloko, a whistleblower who tries to expose what he suspected was the involvement of the British government and European institutions in the laundering of millions of dollars of money stolen from Nigera by James Ibori, the corrupt former governor of one of the country's oil rich states. Suspecting colossal fraud and corruption, Oloko reports the facts to the UK Department for International development and the European Investment Bank - only to find his family placed under covert surveillance. In the end, Ibori will be sentenced by a London court for fraud and money laundering. But the Western institutions that Oloko alleged were complicit are still in business.
