Former PM helped PetroSaudi break into Chinese market
His firm was paid £41,000 a month plus 2% commission
Blair held role as Middle East peace envoy at the time

Tony Blair obtained a “blessing” from Chinese leaders for a company owned by a Saudi prince to do business in China as part of an arrangement that paid the former UK prime minister’s firm £41,000 a month and a 2% commission on any multimillion-pound contracts he helped to secure.

A series of documents, seen by the Guardian, show how Blair courted some of the most influential Chinese political leaders in 2010 and then introduced them to the Saudi-owned company he worked with, PetroSaudi. The company was not allowed to divulge his role without permission, according to the contract.

The emails suggest PetroSaudi was told of fears that the City regulator was targeting Blair over concerns he was not just opening doors but arranging and advising on deals for investors – a regulated corporate function that he is not authorised to conduct.

1. I can name hundreds of far more despicable human beings on the planet

Although what Blair did here was pretty shady, though...

2. Most of the others do not pretend to be upholding

any notions of democracy and/or human rights.
Blair would sell his mother for money. He is sleaze on steroids.
