#UnravellingTuesday: In 1999, the Angolagate #armsdeal turned into a #scandal, revealing the dirty sides of French politicians. The arms sold to #Angola´s government, in the midst of a civil war and in breach of the UN arms embargo, were used against the rebelling UNITA group.

A complicated scheme, implemented by top officials by creating front companies in Eastern Europe & #France. #dodgydeal Image
