A follow-up to the original theme of this thread: A few days ago, Le Canard Enchaine, a French left-wing magazine which is known both for satirical articles and for investigative reports has published documents showing that the French prosecution has started to investigate the bank accounts and the money flow of Soha Arafat, the wife of Jassir Arafat. She has a residence in Paris.

A monthly money transfer of 1,000,000 Euro from a Swiss bank to the Paris account of Soha Arafat has led the prosecutor to suspect money laundering. These transfers have been seen from Juli 2002 to Juli 2003 and have involved the Arab Bank and the BNP Paribas.
