The Chess Master
the fifth estate reveals exclusively that sworn testimony before a Parliamentary committee contained manipulation and lies. Last year, expectations were high that testimony would finally unlock the mysteries of the Airbus scandal. In The Chess Master, reporter Linden MacIntyre shows how Karlheinz Schreiber devised a gambit to trap some of the witnesses and set the course for the next chapter of this story.
