INFORMATION PRESS - News Views Media - http://www.InformPress.com - USA France Prosecutors Investigating Corruption of Pakistani Crook Asif Zardari and French Crook Nicolas Sarkozy Sarkozy Drawn Into Political Funding Scandal By Henry Samuel PARIS, France (Telegraph.co.uk) - [French] President Nicolas Sarkozy was drawn into a corruption scandal on Thursday after French prosecutors opened an investigation into the suspected illegal funding of a presidential contender whose campaign he ran. Sarkozy was accused of being "at the heart" of a political scandal involving claims that 11 French submarine engineers were murdered in Karachi [Pakistan] to punish France for failing to pay secret arms contract "commissions" to senior Pakistani officials. Although the May 2002 bomb attack was blamed on al-CIA-da terrorists, investigating judges have said there would be a "cruel logic" if it was in fact ordered by disgruntled members of the Pakistani Establishment. The claims of multiple murder, corruption and bribery are threatening to, at the very least, severely embarrass Sarkozy and his Pakistani counterpart [PPP Co-Chairman] Asif Ali Zardari. The judges are said to be investigating the possibility that the bomb blast may have been retaliation for the non-payment of part of the 80 million euros in sweeteners that were allegedly expected by senior [Pakistani government and military] officials when Pakistan bought three Agosta attack submarines from France in 1994. The dead engineers were working on the submarine contract for DCN, the French naval shipbuilding enterprise. Documents seized by French police allege that part of the "commissions" - legal under French law at the time - were illegally siphoned off to help finance the 1994 presidential campaign of the then [French] Prime Minister, Edouard Balladur. When [former French President] Jacques Chirac won the election the following spring, it is alleged that he punished his one-time ally Balladur, for running against him by halting the remaining payments to senior Pakistani figures. Chirac's then Defence Minister Charles Million reportedly claimed he was ordered to block the Pakistani commissions and all other arms payments on which "retro-commissions" to France were suspected. When the 825 million-euro submarine sale was negotiated, Sarkozy was the budget minister and manager of Balladur's presidential campaign. Balladur has said everything about the submarine sale was "completely regular" and there is no suggestion that he knew of any diverted funding. But on Thursday it emerged that prosecutors have opened a preliminary corruption investigation, after family members of six of the victims filed charges citing the "illicit political funding" of Balladur's political club. Olivier Morice, a lawyer representing the victims' families, described the move as "a first victory for the families". He recently pointed the finger at the [French] President [Nicolas Sarkozy], saying that he validated the payments "both in his role as budget minister and spokesman and head of Balladur's presidential campaign". The Elysee denied Sarkozy was aware of an alleged kickbacks system and threatened to sue the lawyer for slander. There is no direct evidence linking the president with either the legal commissions or the alleged illegal kick-backs. Sarkozy has described such suggestions as "grotesque". However, investigators recovered documents from the DCN, the [11] dead [French] men's employer, purporting to register Sarkozy's authorisation to create an offshore company, Heine, through which the alleged "commissions" as suspected to have passed. One of the alleged - and legitimate - beneficiaries of the submarine sale was the then Pakistani [PPP] investment minister, Asif Ali Zardari. Zardari, husband of the late [PPP] Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, is now [an illegal] president. - [5 February 2010].
