Primary Evidence
"Suppliers demanded that René Mayer be paid in cash? They now accept payment within fifty days. On their side, bankers open a credit line of 340 million francs. The lead banks for this loan are Société Générale and Crédit Commercial de France, the bank that deliberately assassinated the Willot family in 1981. Both are nationalized."

"La Fontaine Comme dans les bons feuilletons, les rebondissements ne se font pas attendre. Le lendemain même du second tour des élections législatives, le Crédit Commercial de France, chef de file du pool bancaire, signifie à la société BSF qu’elle ne pourra plus émettre de chèques et mettant sa menace à exécution, rejette un chèque de 220 000 francs. Les autres banques du pool adoptent la même attitude."
