Yeah, the seize was recorded live. Remember seeing those truck in Paris last year being loaded with rolls royce's, bentleys, Enzos, the MC 12? These are the ones. The cars are in very good state.

The son of the president, not the president himself.
This story stirred a lot of other debates, some crying out racism and etc... since they always single out wealthy Africans and would never dare doing that to any Arab or Russian.

Im just appalled that this early investigations into this was started by a friggin NGO!
This guy's been living like this for years since he was a teenager in France.

The CGT might be a good deal unless the bidding goes way up.
