"The Fondation Hamon affair was a French political scandal surrounding the Fondation Hamon, a project to build a modern art museum on \u00EEle Saint-Germain at Issy-les-Moulineaux, later abandoned. The project was initiated by Jean Hamon, who had made his fortune in property development, and his gift to the Conseil g\u00E9n\u00E9ral of Hauts-de-Seine of nearly 200 paintings and sculptures with a total value of 7.5 million Euros, stored at Hamon's castle at Bullion (Yvelines).

Charles Pasqua and Andr\u00E9 Santini, as well as many other civil servants, were indicted in the case in mid-2003. Also, Nicolas Sarkozy could also be involved in the affair, according to Lib\u00E9ration, since the Conseil g\u00E9n\u00E9ral continued to make such payments to Hamon for a year after Sarkozy became its president. The mixed syndicate has to pay expenses to Hamon until 2011. The foundation collapsed and its construction permit was cancelled after an appeal launched by ecologists and local residents."@en . . . . . . . . "Fondation Hamon affair"@en . . . . . . . . . .
