Very interesting...
...Elf was created by General de Gaulle as a rival to British and US oil companies overseas. He allowed it to have a black box of secret funds, enabling the company to pay bribes for contracts.
But political parties came to see the black box as an excellent means of funding.

Interesting. Are oil companies the only businesses that are state-owned in the land of the cheese eating surrender minkeys?

Thanks for posting this.
One can only guess about how much money has come from ELF to Carter, the Clintons and other rat politicians over the past decades.
Personally, I suspect that most of the French Owned companies have supported the Rats over the past decades both legally and as money launderers for the Opecker Princes/Thugs.
The Opecker Princes/Thugs probably had secret deals with Elf to laundry money from them to American and Brit politicians.
Last but not least, how many top a$$holes in the UN have received Princely sums via Elf the past couple of decades?
