Jean-Christophe Mitterrand
Jean-Christophe Mitterrand (born December 19, 1946 in Boulogne-Billancourt ) is one of the sons of the former French President François Mitterrand . He initially worked as a journalist for the Agence France-Presse (AFP) in West Africa from 1973 to 1982 and later worked for his father as a consultant for the African continent. For this he was nicknamed Papamadi in Africa (from French: “Papa m'a dit” - “Papa told me”).
In October 2009 Mitterrand was convicted for his involvement in the arms trade with the MPLA , which took place between 1993 and 1998. In the so-called Angolagate , Mitterrand, then his father's advisor for Africa, had received payments worth several million euros from the two arms smugglers Pierre Falcone and Arcadi Gaydamak . Mitterrand received a two-year suspended sentence and had to pay a fine of 375,000 euros.
