The launch of Brian Mulroney’s volume of memoirs, from his boyhood in Baie Comeau, through his years in power as Prime Minister, was the publishing event of this year.

But, in more than 1,000 comprehensive pages of anecdote and information there is one notable name missing--Karlheinz Schreiber—the German dealmaker at the center of the darkest chapter of Mr. Mulroney’s life.

In Brian Mulroney: The Unauthorized Chapter, Linden MacIntyre and a fifth estate team report new revelations about the relationship between the two men as well as details about the attempt to cover the trail of the $300,000 the former Prime Minister received from Schreiber.

Karlheinz Schreiber goes on the record to talk about a story from inside the world of Canadian politics.

UPDATE: PM Announces Inquiry

On November 8, Karlheinz Schrieber filed an affidavit alleging he negotiated a $300,000 lobbying deal with Mulroney at the prime minister's Harrington Lake retreat in Quebec on June 23, 1993 — two days before Mulroney stepped down as prime minister. See the affidavit.

On November 9th, Prime Minister Steven Harper said he will appoint an independent third party to review new allegations by German-Canadian businessman Karlheinz Schreiber over his dealings with former prime minister Brian Mulroney. Read more about this story.
