Weekender: Bribes, Romans and a Marauding Pirate

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Brazen Weekender! I'm Charlie, a producer at Project Brazen, and this is the newsletter where I share what the team has been watching, reading and listening to this week. Coming up: the unbelievable story of a man lost in India's prison system for decades, a revelatory article about the opaque world of consultancy, a corruption case against India's best-known tycoon as well as a thoughtful podcast episode from the high-seas and a popcorn-friendly blockbuster. We've even got a few extra treats for our paid subscribers. Let's get into it!

This is a post for subscribers to Whale Hunting, a weekly newsletter and podcast delving into the hidden worlds of wealth and power from the team at Project Brazen.
