Andreas Wiseman International EditorEXCLUSIVE: London-based Ten10 Films and Amsterdam-based Le Boxeur Films have acquired exclusive life story rights to Frits Veerman, a whistleblower who claims to have been scapegoated and silenced for reporting one of the biggest thefts of nuclear secrets in history.In an interview in the Financial Times Magazine this weekend, Veerman will tell the story of how he worked for a British/German/Dutch uranium enrichment program in the 1970’s and was a colleague and friend of the nuclear spy, Dr AQ Khan – a man the CIA called “as dangerous as Osama Bin Laden”.When Veerman discovered that Khan was a spy, he repeatedly reported Khan to the authorities but was ignored.
