Primary Evidence
"it is Arnault himself who finds Finial Holdings, a mysterious Lebanese financial company with Syrian capital, a former shareholder of Novotel: it brings in 45 million. The oil groups Elf and Total each contribute 47.5 million francs to the pot, through financial subsidiaries. The British bank Charterhouse leaves a 5-million-franc calling card. Even the Truffaut nurseryman is in on it!"
