The Karachi affair (French: affaire Karachi), otherwise known as Agosta Submarine scandal, was a major military scandal that took place in the second administration of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, involving the presidencies of François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac in 1992–97. The scandal involved the payment of massive commissions and kickbacks between France and Pakistan over the negotiations to acquire Agosta 90B-class submarines. The submarines utilized the emerging air-independent propulsion (AIP) proprietary designs, which Pakistan was eager to acquire over the nuclear submarines.

  • L’affaire Karachi, ou affaire des frégates d’Arabie saoudite et des sous-marins du Pakistan, est une affaire d’État qui concerne plusieurs contrats d’armement signés en 1994 : un qui prévoyait la vente par la France de frégates à l’Arabie saoudite et un autre sur la vente de sous-marins au Pakistan. Une partie de ces commissions auraient, via des rétrocommissions, financé la campagne du Premier ministre français Édouard Balladur à l’élection présidentielle de 1995, toutefois le financement illégal de la campagne électorale n’a pas été établi par la justice.
