The Takieddine files
From mid-July 2011, Mediapart began the publication of a lengthy series of investigations into the activities of Paris-based Franco-Lebanese arms dealer and business intermediary Ziad Takieddine, the principal suspect in an ongoing judicial investigation into suspected illegal political funding via French arms sales abroad, and which is known as the Karachi Affair. Mediaparts investigations revealed Takieddines intimate dealings with the close entourage of then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and notably his role as a secret diplomatic intermediary.
Takieddine gained most of his immense wealth from commissions paid to him from French weapons sales, beginning under the government of French Prime Minister Edouard Balladur, in the mid-1990s, and latterly from contracts negotiated by Nicolas Sarkozys inner political team, before and after the latter became president.
The thousands of documents to which Mediapart gained access throw a clear light on Takieddines relationships with Sarkozys team, and the role he played, up until the Arab Spring revolutions in 2011, in Frances rapprochement with the regime of late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and that of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.- Takieddine and his friends in high places. Several previously unpublished photos illustrate what were until then unknown - and for some of those involved, secret links between the arms dealer and the closed circle of the French presidents most trusted staff and allies.
- A well-hidden fortune. Ziad Takieddines wealth originates from secret commissions amounting to $130 million paid to him for the sales in the mid-1990s of French Agosta submarines to Pakistan and La Fayette frigates to Saudi Arabia under the government of then-prime minister Edouard Balladur. After making his fortune through the contracts, he began leading a high-flying lifestyle in France and abroad, but with his wealth stashed in offshore companies and accounts he paid no taxes in France, where he was domiciled.
- Protected by French intelligence. Arms dealer and business intermediary Ziad Takieddine not only had highly privileged relations with the inner circle of Nicolas Sarkozys political aides, he also enjoyed favoured treatment from the French intelligence service, the DGSE.
- Saudi Arabia and the Miksa project.The Saudi Border Guards Developpment Project , codenamed Miska, was a contract estimated to be worth 7 billion euros for the supply by French companies of technology and material to ensure the security of Saudi Arabias national borders. Ziad Takieddine was destined to be paid 350 million euros in 2003 in secret commission payments for his role as intermediary.
- Libya: when Takieddine played the role of secret emissary (2005-2009). In 2005, the Sarkozy clan lost all hope of signing the Miksa contract after they were blocked by the intervention of Sarkozys fellow conservative rival and then-president Jacques Chirac. So they turned to the Libyan regime of the late dictator Muammar Gaddafi in an attempt to sell contracts in the fields of weapons and energy.
- Takieddine and Total in Libya. Ziad Takieddine was paid almost 7 million euros by French oil and gas giant Total, on the sidelines of a gas contract agreed with the Libyan regime of Colonol Muammar Gaddafi. The payment was made under the supervision of Totals CEO Christophe de Margerie. The deal was actively supported by the presidential office of Nicolas Sarkozy.
- Syria and a secret diplomacy (2007-2009). Between 2007 and 2009, Ziad Takieddine was the key figure in a process of rapprochement between France and Syria, and was also the go-between who introduced French President Nicolas Sarkozy to his Syrian counterpart, Bashar al-Assad.

Takieddine and his friends in high places
Ziad Takieddine is the principal suspect in an ongoing judicial investigation into suspected illegal political funding via French arms sales abroad, in a case known as the Karachi affair. From 2002, he became a secret advisor and hidden financier at the heart of Nicolas Sarkozys political clan, beginning with the latters long years of campaigning to become president, and continuing after Sarkozy won the presidency in 2007. A series of previously unpublished photos, revealed in 2011, illustrate what were until then unknown - and for some of those involved, secret links between the arms dealer and the closed circle of the then-French presidents most trusted staff and allies. They notably concern Brice Hortefeux, a longstanding friend and political servitor of Sarkozy, who held three ministerial posts under his presidency; Thierry Gaubert, another friend of Sarkozys who once served as an advisor to him; Jean-Franois Cop,a former budget minister and the current head of the main, conservative opposition party, the UMP; Dominique Desseigne, heir to the Barrire luxury hotel and casino group (Desseigne married Thierry Gauberts ex-wife, Diane Barrire, who died in 2001) and owner of the luxury Paris restaurant Fouquets, where Nicolas Sarkozy was later to celebrate his election victory in May 2007; Etienne Mougeotte, former vice-president of French television channel TF1 and currently editor-in-chief of French daily Le Figaro. -

Meanwhile, successive French budget ministers, who include one of his regular holiday partners, appeared to have no qualms about his extraordinary fiscal situation. -

where there's moneylaundering, those on the take will whitewash, conceal, overhype, do anything.
In this case, Clooney's PR handlers who have been scavenging off the image they feel they created, are selling this bogus arrangement to the public.
Pathetic state of existence.
