NormanH Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 L'Oréal has a very shady past, although the usual mob will soon be accusing me of being 'anti-French' for pointing it out..http://www.voltairenet.org/article12751.htmlhttp://www.scienceshumaines.com/-0aindustriels-et-banquiers-sous-l-occupation-la-collaboration-economique-avec-le-reich-et-vichy-0a_fr_216.htmlhttp://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/28/obituaries/jacques-correze-l-oreal-official-and-nazi-collaborator-dies-at-79.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 [quote user="ericd"]With the latest news that €30M tax rebate was paid back to Betencourt (with can't have gone ahead without) the approval of that same Woerth who was budget minister at the time, his days are numbered.[/quote]It was stated on the lunchtime news that this would have been a simple matter taken care of by her local tax office and he would have had no involvement.How on earth does one qualify for a €30m tax rebate?I suppose the simple answer is to have paid more than €30m in taxes to start with.What surprises me is that she has not taken up residence in Belgium, Andorra or Monaco.
