Papers seized by two investigating magistrates from General Philippe Rondot, a former head of the DGSE, France’s intelligence service, show Mr Chirac opened an account in the mid-1990s at Tokyo Sowa Bank, credited with the equivalent of £30 million. It is not known where the money came from, nor whether it is connected to various kick-back scandals to which Mr Chirac’s name has been linked over the past decade.

Last year, Mr Chirac “categorically denied” having a bank account in Japan. the scotsman

For d’Estaing it was diamonds, but M. Chirac it seems to have been cold cash. This should all be immensely entertaining.

And, on an unrelated note, nice to see Sarko actually saying that France agrees with its American “partners” on the need for stronger sanctions against Iran.
