“France’s Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius on Sunday denied a ‘rumour’ in a newspaper report claiming that he may have a Swiss bank account, as the French government struggles to deal with a scandal over undeclared foreign bank holdings. ‘I absolutely deny the rumour, published in the Monday April 8 edition of Libération, claiming I have a bank account in Switzerland,’ Fabius wrote in a statement. It was Médiapart that broke the story about former budget minister Jérôme Cahuzac having an undeclared bank account in Switzerland.”
