France - Charles Pasqua, former prime minister of France, said former president Jacques Chirac knew about the arms trade with Angola. Pasqua also names Dominique de Villepin (Chirac's chief of staff), Charles Millon (defense minister), and Herve de Charette (foreign minister) with Chirac. Pasqua was found convicted along with Russian born Israeli businessman Arkadi Gaydamak.
Pasqua presented secret documents confirming the sales plus the illegality of the trade. The arms came from the former Soviet states, and were shipped to Angola between 1993 to 1998.
