He still hasn't accounted for several hundred pounds worth of receipts, which he still maintains went on bribes.

6 August 2014 Peter Schwartz Peter Schwartz responds to Brian Eno's open letter on Israel-Gaza crisis https://web.archive.org/web/20220124142857/https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/peter-schwartz-responds-to-brian-eno-s-open-letter-on-israelgaza-crisis-9643922.html I find objectionable the unique singling out of Israel for condemnation. So if we are prepared to boycott, condemn and shame the Saudis, the Qataris, the Iranians, the Egyptians, the Syrians, the Russians, the Nigerians, the Taliban, the Venezuelans, the Zimbabweans, the Sudanese, the South Sudanese, the Central African Republicans, and let’s not forget the Americans and the British, all of whom are as guilty as Israel, then I will join the demonstration.

27 March 2025 w:Samanth Subramanian The real Scandi noir: how a filmmaker and a crooked lawyer shattered Denmark’s self-image https://web.archive.org/web/20250327050803/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/27/black-swan-denmark-documentary-mads-brugger-amira-smajic It’s difficult to feel sorry for Smajic, or for anyone in The Black Swan.
