The first handover of money in Mr de Villepin's presence occurred in 1995, he said, involving 10m francs from the then Zairean President Mobutu Sese Seko.

Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, Burkina Faso's Blaise Compaore, former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo, Republic of Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso and the late Gabonese President Omar Bongo all visited Mr de Villepin in his office, handing over $10m for the 2002 election campaign, Mr Bourgi claimed.
