“France’s former budget minister Jérôme Cahuzac confessed on Tuesday to having hidden €600,000 ($770,000) in foreign bank accounts for the last 20 years, reversing repeated denials weeks after a probe was launched into his alleged Swiss account. The minister, who faces five years in prison and a fine of up to €375,000 said he had been ‘caught up in a spiral of lies and lost his way.’ Cahuzac had been leading the government’s charge against wealthy French citizens evading taxes through foreign accounts.”
