There are many facilitators willing to sacrifice professional morals and integrity to serve the corrupt needs of dictators like Ismaïl Omar Guelleh of Djibouti. One notorious example lies in the professional disgrace of British lawyer Peter Gray, a one-time partner at US law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
In 2015 the Djibouti state hired solicitor Peter Gray to represent its interests in a UK case against businessman Abdourahman Boreh, a potential rival to Ismaïl Omar Guelleh falsely accused of tax fraud, and of ordering a grenade attack on a supermarket in Djibouti city in 2009.
