Indian style bribery ... in suitcases.
In the Mediapart interview published in November 2016, Takieddine said he was given €5 million in Tripoli by Gaddafi’s intelligence chief on trips in late 2006 and 2007 and that he gave the money in suitcases full of cash to Sarkozy and Gueant on three occasions. He said the handovers took place in the Interior Ministry, while Sarkozy was interior minister.
