Something rotten on the Riviera

Article Abstract:

There has been considerable controversy surrounding the recent arrest and conviction of Michel Mouillot, mayor of Cannes, France, following a corruption investigation by police in France and the UK. He is already appealing against a conviction for corruption made in 1995, but has a reasonable record as mayor and was re-elected despite the new conviction. Some observers believe that he may have become the victim of a political plot hatched by party leaders in Paris, France.
