CBC-Globe Report Finds No Evidence To Back Up Mulroney Testimony

The former prime minister said the money was remuneration for his work as an international lobbyist for Thyssen, a German manufacturer of armoured vehicles. Mulroney told the committee that Schreiber hired him for "international representation" to lobby leaders in Russia, China and France on behalf of Thyssen. The CBC and Globe contacted officials familiar with military sales in Russia, China, France, Canada, as well as the company itself in its attempts to verify the former prime minister's claims, the CBC's Harvey Cashore said. "While there's no evidence to disprove what Mr. Mulroney is saying, we couldn't find any evidence so far to corroborate it," Cashore said Monday. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/02/11/mulroney-schreiber.html
