- Summary:
- The cost of the Winter Olympics in Russia quadrupled to a record-breaking £30 billion following allegations of massive corruption. Panorama investigates claims that lucrative contracts were handed to President Putin's friends, and that billions had been embezzled by fraudsters and corrupt officials. Despite the huge cost of the games, thousands of Olympic workers say they have not been paid, and some claim they were tortured by the police when they tried to protest. The games in Sochi were supposed to be a showcase for modern Russia, but what did they really reveal about President Putin's state?
