French Blast Oil-for-Food Charge Duelfer report named names U.N. Audit Found Early 'Oil-for-Food' Problems NEW YORK — The French connection to the U.N. Oil-for-Food program and to Saddam Hussein himself is becoming clearer and the French don't like what they're hearing. The report appears to confirm some of the allegations made about Oil-for-Food and lays out in detail how the bribery scheme may have worked: Saddam handed out oil vouchers to selected companies and individuals, which could be sold at a handsome profit. And the Duelfer report named names. Among the French figures were Patrick Maugeuin, a close associate of Chirac and a man the Iraqis considered a “direct conduit to the French leader” who could have yielded a profit of close to $3 million; and Charles Pasqua, who received oil vouchers that could have given him a profit of around $2.2 million. It also quoted an Iraqi intelligence report from May 2002 on a meeting between an Iraqi agent and a French politician. "The French politician assured the Iraqi that France would use its veto in the U.N. Security Council against any American decision to attack Iraq,” the report said. foxnews.com
