82 - The Belgian X-Files 5: The Pinon Affair (1976 - 1997 or so)
🕑 Added 2024-03-01 13:19:39 +0000 UTCI'm joined again by @irc_nic as the Belgian Autumn begins.
Prince Albert and the Belgian business class overpromise and underdeliver in a trade deal with the Saudis. The resulting financial scandal exposes a vice network, blackmail operations, and massive embezzlement. The Belgian establishment scrambles to cover it all up, but things take a dramatically darker turn when a psychiatrist files for divorce and his wife decides to share explosive secrets about extremely powerful people.
