Pierre Falcone, who attended both trials, is being held in Fleury-Merogis (Essonne) from the decision of the trial proceeding. His business partner, within the scope of an international arrest warrant, is in hiding and never appeared before a French court.

Both men are charged with holding an arms sale to Angola from 1993 to 1998, civil war, amounting to $ 790 million, secured on future revenues from oil.

"When I read this issue, I was seized with vertigo face are at stake," said in his submissions the Advocate General Michael Lerner, insisting on "the gravity of the facts."
Commerce "unlawful"
For the prosecution, the operation was controlled from the French siege of Falcone's company, Brenco, and should have been duly authorized, which was not the case. On the other hand, everything has been done to conceal it, the tax authorities in particular. So there was commerce "unlawful."

The defense contends that the sale did not need permission because it was made by a Slovak company and that the equipment had not passed through France. Sentenced to three years suspended sentence was also sought against former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua. © 2011 AFP
