The Hollande govt: 'Do as we say, not as we do'
Pierre Condamin-Gerbier was a witness before a parliamentary commission investigating former budget minister Jerome Cahuzac, who resigned in disgrace in March over an undeclared foreign bank account said to contain around 600,000 euros ($770,000).
Cahuzac is now facing charges of tax fraud.
"The list and information were transmitted yesterday to French justice," Condamin-Gerbier, who worked at Reyl et Cie between 2006 and 2010, told the commission.
He had earlier said the list contained a number of well-known names. "I can simply say that very big names in French politics figure on this list, people whose faces we are used to seeing on television.
These are personalities far better known to the public than Cahuzac," he told newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche last month.
Condamin-Gerbier has also said the family of a serving minister had funds in Switzerland for several years.
This is a stupid and small time scandal . What we want to know are all the pedophiles and those with criminal associations amongst them, not the ones who have 'undeclared bank accounts in Swizerland'. Information that can easily be bought and paid for by those with enemies.
