Luchaire Affair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Luchaire Affaire is a politico-financial scandal that took place in the 1980s in France, under the François Mitterrand presidency.
Between 1982 and 1986, while Charles Hernu was the French Minister of Defence, France supplied shells to Iran. This was revealed by the Presse de la Manche newspaper, and later by a Contrôle général des armées report published in L'Express in January 1987.[1] Furthermore, 3 millions of francs in kickback might have given back to the French Socialist Party.[2]
