English term

right old wrongs

English to French Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters saying
Compelled to do what he thinks is right, joe makes contact with his friend at the British Embassy. But his actions unwittingly draw him into the terrifying world of ruthless arms dealer. When strategic information makes its way to Mr Bates a government anti-corruption agent intent on bringing down the thug's empire, a leak in her network triggers a chain of events that end in tragedy.

Three years later, when their paths cross again in Spain Pine is given a chance to right old wrongs.

corriger les erreurs du passé

Une autre possibilité avec une légère nuance par rapport à la proposition de Petitavoine, celle qu'il y a entre redresser les torts et corriger ses (propres) erreurs.

agree Yoann Peyron : J'aurais dit : "réparer les erreurs du passé". En tous cas, "erreurs du passé" c'est ce qui sonne le mieux pour moi.
