From correspondents in Paris
"French officials have said they are looking into whether the cash to fund the plant came from illicit commissions allegedly given to Mitterrand by billionaire businessman Pierre Falcone, the central figure in the arms trafficking investigation.
That investigation centres on the sale of $US500 million ($729 million) in illegal arms to Angola."
