Françafrique: Dominique de Villepin allegedly received gifts from Blaise Compaoré

Dominique de Villepin allegedly received two statuettes of Napoleon Bonaparte worth a total of 125,000 euros, given by Blaise Compaoré and Gian Angelo Perrucci. Villepin contests this version, claiming the gifts came from Robert Bourgi and that he was unaware of their value. His entourage describes these revelations as a smokescreen, while the Souzy gallery confirms the authenticity of the invoices. French regulations required government members to declare gifts received.
