Chirac linked to $60 million secret Bank account

mimo2005 · 05-24-2007, 06:38 AM

French investigating magistrates have acquired "explosive" documents suggesting that "large sums of money" were funnelled into a secret Japanese bank account in the name of Jacques Chirac, it was claimed yesterday.

The judges have bank statements and more than a hundred notes written by a former French intelligence chief, Gen Philippe Rondot, on the subject, but were unable to consult them until Mr Chirac stepped down as president last week.

Mr Chirac took the exceptional step of denying that he had a secret bank account.

The content of the dossiers has "convinced the judges of the existence of Chirac's Japanese bank account," a judge told the newspaper.

"Once the documents are verified, there is sufficient material to open a new investigation into abuse of trust and corruption," a judge told Le Canard.

A politician corrupt....NO WAY.....IMPOSSIBLE....WHITER THAN WHITE!!!

All they go into politics for is to caress their own egos and feather their nests at the expense of the ordinary man in the street....and they wonder why they are at the lowest in the league of who the public respects!

As in the uk now, there is a "Freedom of information" law.......but who has just exempted themselves from it?

The politicians.....as it meant they would have to reveal their pay and expenses claims....talk about two-faced hypocritical ********
