Mediapart has published a long series of investigations into the circumstances of the 7.8-billion-euro sale by France to India of 36 Rafale fighter jets, an agreement inked in 2016 and which is clouded by suspicions of large-scale corruption.
It is a very complex story involving the highest levels of government and industrial interests in both France and India. In this eight-minute video, Yann Philippin explains the background to the deal and the key points of Mediapart’s investigations.
The video is subtitled in English. To bring the subtitles up: click on the screen to play, then click the “cogwheel” icon at the bottom of screen (parameters) and click on the arrow against “sous-titres” to set them in English (marked "Anglais"). Then click on the rectangular “subtitles” icon, to the left of the cogwheel.
