Dominic Laurie hears about allegations of corruption in the run up to the Sochi Winter Olympics. With just a fortnight to go before the start of the games, he speaks to a former Russian Deputy Prime Minister, who accuses Vladimir Putin of lying about widespread corruption, and calls for the creation of an international 'court of corruption'. Dominic also hears from a woman who says her home in the city was bulldozed without good reason so that the land it stood on could be sold, and from a businessman who says he had to flee Russia, fearing for his life, after he alerted the authorities to allegations of bribery.
