6 people are currently on trial in France in the #KarachiAffair related to a vast bribery and arms sales scandal, including Thierry Gaubert, who was a former aide to then Budget Minister Nicolas Sarkozy (who later went on to become President of France).

Former French Prime Minister Edouard Balladur is also going to face trial, though separately, because bribes were allegedly used to fund Balladur's then Presidential campaign.
This is another case with lots of "unexplained" dead people, including a lead attorney.
Of course, China was also allegedly involved.
Oh, look who else was involved. The former Defense Minister AND Prime Minister of Malayasia, Najib Razak, of #1MDB infamy. Razak is currently on trial in Malaysia in the 1MDB trial.
Razak has not been charged in France yet, though and it's unknown if they ever will charge him.
This case links back to Sarkozy as well, though I'm not sure if he'll be charged at all in the Karachi Affair case. He was already charged with taking campaign contributions from Libya's Khadaffi.

.@DawsonSField put together a great thread here many months ago on Sarkozy AND a bunch of the global money laundering cases going on. Take a read and see how and who are all linked together with these scandals. You'll find some familiar other names.

Here's another good thread with info about Sarkozy, Gadaffi, Alexandre Djouhri and a Khashoggi.

H/T to @mustafaxhemal and to @deplorablejam for linking me to it.
