Schreiber-Mulroney affair: the main players
November 15, 2007

Karlheinz Schreiber

Schreiber moved to Alberta from Germany in 1975 looking for business opportunities. In the 1980s, after becoming a Canadian citizen, he moved to Ottawa, formed relationships with many Mulroney-era Conservatives and worked for a handful of European companies, including Airbus, promoting sales in Canada. He is currently in jail in Toronto pending his extradition to Germany, where he is charged with tax evasion and with bribing government officials on behalf of corporate clients.

Brian Mulroney

Prime minister of Canada from 1984 to 1993, and now a corporate lawyer in Montreal. Mulroney benefitted from Schreiber's support during his campaign for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party, and maintained a relationship with him for decades afterward. After Mulroney left office, he successfully sued the federal government after it sent a letter to Switzerland saying Mulroney was a target in an RCMP investigation into alleged kickbacks from the sale of Airbus planes to Air Canada.

Frank Moores

The Progressive Conservative premier of Newfoundland from 1972 to 1979, Moores became a key political supporter of Brian Mulroney and later an influential Ottawa lobbyist, and associate of Karlheinz Schreiber. A former director of Air Canada, he received secret commissions from Schreiber related to the 1988 sale of Airbus jets to the airline, but was never charged following an RCMP probe into the affair. Moores died of cancer in 2005.

Luc Lavoie

A public relations executive in Montreal who since 1995 has been Brian Mulroney's spokesman on the Airbus affair. In 1999 Lavoie told CBC's The Fifth Estate that Schreiber was "the biggest f-king liar the world has ever seen. That is what we believe." The comment is regarded as a tipping point - prompting Schreiber to abandon his loyalty and discretion toward Mulroney.

Fred Doucet

A classmate of Mulroney's during their undergraduate days at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Doucet worked for Mulroney when he was prime minister and is now an Ottawa lobbyist. Schreiber alleges Doucet arranged many of the meetings between himself and Mulroney and once asked that money connected with Airbus be sent to Mulroney's lawyer in Switzerland.

Allan Rock

The Liberal justice minister in the government of Jean Chretien. In 1997, Rock issued an apology to Mulroney, Schreiber and Moores for an official government letter sent to Swiss authorities that named the three men as targets of an RCMP investigation into allegations of corruption in the Airbus affair. Rock said the main reason for the apology - and for spending $2.1 million to settle Mulroney's lawsuit against Ottawa for issuing the letter - was the fact that the RCMP had leaked the letter to a Canadian journalist.

Stephen Harper

The Conservative prime minister, who has relied on Mulroney's advice and friendship since seeking and winning office nearly two years ago, called the public inquiry into Mulroney's relationship with Schreiber.

Rob Nicholson

Harper's minister of justice was a parliamentary secretary in the government of Brian Mulroney and now oversees the extradition process against Schreiber. Ultimately it will fall to Nicholson to decide whether Schreiber is sent to Germany to face criminal charges.

Wegen der Schreiber - Mulroney Verbindung wollen ihn die Fieslinge in der BRD bestimmt nicht haben und ausquetschen.

Wohl aber, daß die schwarze Brut zusammen mit möglicherweise einigen Rötlingen massiv Waffen und Panzer in den Nahen Osten verschoben hat zwecks Aufbesserung vom Taschengeld.

Das Ganze dürfte aber allgemeinen Brechreiz hervorrufen, da hier dann eine Krähe der anderen ein Auge aushacken muß!
