Les médias ont placotés sur l’arrestation de Viktor Bout cette semaine [CyberPresse, R-C] … Mais qui est ce personnage? La revue Foreign Policy a écrit ce papier il y a un peu plus d’un an:
[ForeignPolicy] In many ways, Viktor Bout is a prototypical, modern-day, multinational entrepreneur. He is smart, savvy, and ambitious. He’s good with numbers, speaks several languages, and knows how to seize opportunities when they arise. According to those who’ve met him, he’s polite, professional, and unassuming. Bout has no known political agenda. He loves his family. He’s fed the poor. And through his hard work, he’s become extraordinarily wealthy. During the past decade, Bout’s business acumen has earned him hundreds of millions of dollars. What, exactly, does he do?
