	WorldNetDaily: Big-time political scandals in France!
		At the venerable age of 78, silver-haired elegant Roland Dumas has been convicted of influence peddling and sentenced to six months in prison for the role he played in misappropriation of nearly $10 million in government funds.
		Sentenced also for her involvement — three years, half of which was suspended — in the case was Dumas' former mistress, Christine Deviers-Joncour, cited by prosecutors as having cleared the tidy sum of $9 million from Elf for her work as a lobbyist after Dumas had gotten her a job at the company.
		Dumas himself benefited rather agreeably from her position at Elf, as the company lavished some generous perks like a luxury Left Bank apartment, and money for her to give her benefactor a dozen antique Greek statuettes and a pair of Italian custom-made boots.

	TIME: Cherchez La Femme
		It did not help matters for Dumas that Deviers-Joncour was an intimate friend of his, that he had intervened to get her a $120,000-a-year sinecure at Elf in 1990, and had accepted from Deviers-Joncour a $2,000 pair of hand-made shoes paid for by an Elf credit card.
		(Dumas says he reimbursed the amount.) Whether Deviers-Joncour and Elf were also the source of the millions Dumas deposited in his personal bank accounts from 1991 to 1995 is what the magistrates are now seeking to find out.
		Nevertheless, in a bid to sidestep the two determined magistrates, Dumas has petitioned to have his case transferred to the Court of Justice, a special tribunal for government officials, on the grounds that he was a sitting minister at the time of his involvement in the Taiwan sale.

	NEWS
		Former French Defence minister Roland Dumas, who as a lawyer took care of the Alberto Giacometti succession was charged by an investigating judge for having authorised the sale in June 1994 of several works by the famous Swiss sculptor without the formal agreement of the Giacometti association.
		Roland Dumas, who was in charge of the Picasso succession in 1973, had a solid reputation in the art world as he had also become in 1970 Annette Giacometti’s counsel following the death of her husband.
		Dumas’ counsel said such money had been paid after he had solved a litigious case involving Tajan that had no connection with the Giacometti sale and added that this sum exceeded the interests the auctioneer had gained while keeping the $ 1,05 million during six years in his bank account.

		L'Affaire Dumas (Stock, 279 pages), by investigative reporter Herve Gattegno of Le Monde, is a Balzacian account of Dumas's rise from provincial obscurity to the pinnacles of wealth, fame and power in Paris.
		Dumas has testified that the money came from the sale of art and gold, plus legal fees and a personal loan--none of which was ever recorded in writing or reported to the tax authorities.
		If a concrete link between Dumas and the Elf money remains to be established, there is no doubt that his former mistress made handsome profits from her part-time "public relations" job at Elf.
