A French author has claimed that Jacques Chirac spent the equivalent of over a million pounds to ensure that France won the World Cup in 1998. In her book La Sorcellerie au coeur de la République (Witchcraft at the Heart of the Republic), Sylvie Jumel says the cash went as payments to Senegalese witchdoctors. He also used them, and French witches, to secure the presidential election but obviously did not pay out to help the French football team in this year's World Cup.
The book is published by Editions Carnot, who recently published Meyssan Theirry's books claiming that no aircraft crashed into the Pentagon on September 11 2001. This Europe: Chirac hasn't lost his magic, says author - The Independent, October 3rd 2002.
