〔自由時報／2009-1-20台北報導〕台北地方法院審理拉法葉艦案，出現重大轉折，汪傳浦的委任律師張迺良昨當庭提出瑞士檢察總署公函，指瑞士已於去年十二月二十七日裁決汪傳浦及其家人未涉洗錢、詐欺等案（等同我不起訴處分）；法界人士認為瑞士檢方的裁決，將嚴重衝擊我國能否要回汪家存在瑞士等國約五億美元（約合新台幣一百六十七億元）拉案佣金。
另，由於汪傳浦等人一直未出庭應訊，審判長劉芳慈近日將對王傳浦、汪妻葉秀貞、及四個兒女汪家興、汪家勇、汪家明、汪君玲等發布通緝；北院昨傳訊汪傳浦及其家人和其他被告共八人，只有郭力恆、郭問天兄弟出庭，下次開庭時間為二月二十三日。
根據張迺良昨呈交合議庭和檢察官的瑞士檢方裁決內容，指出瑞士前聯邦調查法官Paul Perraudin已在去年九月廿二日，對汪傳浦及家人涉案提出結案報告，因此瑞士檢察總署據以作出不起訴處分，調查費用由瑞士負擔，並將結果分別通知台灣官方及汪家律師。
對此，高檢署拉法葉艦案特調小組檢察官蔡秋明持保留態度，他認為還是有機會追回相關款項，蔡說，不會委請瑞士的律師向瑞士檢方聲明異議，理由是這樣意義不大，因為瑞士的裁決只是從程序上判斷，認為我方才是最佳的管轄法院，並非實質認定汪家人未涉案，未來會把上述見解告訴合議庭。蔡秋明說，瑞士認為台灣已起訴汪傳浦等人，加上汪所在的英國，未提供汪具體涉案資料，才使瑞士檢方無法辦案，蔡說他對本案持平常心，也對法院判決有信心，我方還是有機會透過司法互助管道向瑞士要回相關款項。
針對外界質疑汪傳浦為何收取拉法葉艦案高額佣金，張迺良當庭轉述汪傳浦的說法，汪表示他為促成台法間軍購，花了很多時間和財力，向法國強調可因此解決數萬名造船工人失業問題，法方為感謝汪的幫忙，才給他佣金。被問到行賄台灣軍方的問題，張迺良表示自己曾到英國見汪傳浦，汪否認給我方軍官佣金，這從汪被各國查扣銀行存款前，相關帳戶金額都未變動，就可證明他未行賄。
汪還向律師抱怨檢方向盧森堡、列支敦士登、開曼群島等地發函要求查扣其銀行帳戶，還把其家人牽扯進本案；汪透過律師強調：「真金不怕火煉」，如能查到來路不明的錢，願捐給發現弊端者。

怎堪「拉案」數百億元付諸東流！
沉寂三年多的「拉法葉艦佣金弊案」，由於法國與瑞士司法部門先後階段性結案，彷彿這件牽涉台海兩岸高層、巴黎政壇左右當權派、羅馬尼亞卸任總統及摩洛哥在野黨領袖謀殺案的跨世紀醜聞，似乎隨著歐亞非三大洲共犯結構之聯袂作梗下就要畫上休止符；孰料，法國媒體突然在上(一)月底爆料「拉案」全部佣金名單之下落，而且，還披露沙克奇總統早於一九九三年也動用過這筆佣金弊案贓款！
對於這種跡近石破天驚似的發展，作為冤大頭的台灣當局，非但沒有表達苦主之關切，反還異於尋常地低調冷處理！究其緣由，除了九流政府及其鷹犬追殺前朝已殺紅了眼，非把當年誓言「不惜動搖國本辦到底」的阿扁抄家滅族才肯罷手而顧此失彼外，另一考量也可能預料到：「拉案」的水落石出必然衝擊到國共高層政要，特別是特偵組在扁宅搜出幻象機軍購案也有三百多億佣金之證據，因此執政當局及特偵組絕不希望節外生枝。
然而，根據台灣特調小組在二００六年所公布之起訴書中，便已罪證確鑿指出汪傳浦家族前後收佣九億兩千餘萬美元！其中，「拉案」灌水18.6％為五億兩千萬美元，而代號為「TANGO」之幻象機軍購佣金為四億美元。如果再加上張榮發向阿扁透露之高鐵內幕，當年蕭萬長赴巴黎施壓而達成代號「BRAVO」之拉法葉艦交易，便是配套購買法國高鐵(代號為「BRAVO--TGV」)；不料，李登輝事後下令高鐵「歐規改日規」而「多戴了兩百億帽子」(《台灣的十字架》P.216)，總結台灣對法軍購衍生的佣金，居然高達五百一十餘億元，設若再加上我國海軍依據排佣條款對法索賠五億九千萬美元之數字，如台灣打贏這場「拉案」商務仲裁官司，則累計為七百零八億餘元之鉅！
台灣截至目前為止，由於謝長廷擔任閣揆時簽署「免死狀」而自瑞士取得汪家佣金帳冊後，僅讓海軍上校郭力恒俯首認罪吐出十一億元贓款之成績外，其餘幾乎全都停擺，以致法國檢方因為巴黎執政當局四度悍拒「拉案」解密被迫無疾而終偵結，瑞士檢方也在提供台灣特調小組資料三年有餘卻毫無突破性進展，儼然計畫接踵法國檢方而告一段落，導致汪傳浦在台律師張迺良於上(一)月出庭時得意洋洋，直認這場攸關數百億的貪瀆案，台灣已經辦不下去而該偵結了。
所幸老天有眼，正當延宕三年三月餘之久的「拉案」可望在本月廿三日傳訊押於台北看守所的郭力恒而步上法、瑞後塵之際，巴黎媒體適時揭載諸多聞所未聞的「拉案」秘辛，堪稱是極具關鍵性之台灣「逆轉勝」契機；但是，啟動重辦「拉案」而略有斬獲的阿扁已淪為九流政府階下囚，可想而知復辟後重掌政權的國民黨權貴集團是絕不會搬磚砸腳，因此，「拉案」佣金名單固已在歐洲露出馬腳，但對法索賠數百億元的結果，國人恐難樂觀以待！

拉法葉佣金名單 鎖在瑞士銀行
【聯合報╱歐洲特派員陳玉慧／三十一日電】 2009.02.01 02:30 am
拉法葉佣金案出現重大發展，法國媒體最近公開一份巴黎法院文件，文件上寫明前法國國家造艦局負責人波凡擁有一份拉法葉佣金回扣名單，他向法院自承名單存放在瑞士銀行（UBS）的保險箱中。
這份文件是巴黎法官馬漢於2007年11月22日所簽署的報告，最近公開，記載了許多不利法方的佣金證據。
這份十四頁的報告首先點名法國高層介入拉法葉佣金案，以某團體名義付錢給法國和瑞士法界人士，以期及早獲知拉案佣金案辦案進度，並影響相關辦案人員。
法方和瑞方辦案法官和檢察官都在這幾年內退職或退休；而無論是在瑞士法院進行的佣金案或在巴黎商業法院進行的商業仲裁案皆宣布暫停。
這個行賄團體名為波拿巴，法國媒體推估幕後主導人士是法國總統沙克吉，沙克吉在93年為巴拉度出來競選總統時，拿了當時汪傳浦回流的佣金做為競選費用。
沙克吉維護此事不曝光，外傳他有意賣給台灣最先進武器以杜悠悠之口，並做為佣金賠償交換條件。
巴黎法官馬漢在報告中說，前造艦局負責人波凡之前多次向偵辦人員表明不知佣金名單，報告中卻首次透露該名單放在瑞士銀行（UBS）保險箱中。

Taiwan accuse Paris d'avoir renseigné Pékin sur les frégates
Le médiateur taiwanais ayant dirigé l'enquête sur l'affaire de corruption entourant la vente par la France à l'île en 1991 de six frégates militaires accuse Paris d'avoir informé la Chine de Pékin de tous les détails de ce contrat.
"Je fais affaire avec vous et vous transmettez tous mes secrets à mon ennemi. Quel sorte de gouvernement êtes-vous donc?" s'est indigné Kang Ning-hsiang, 康寧祥un membre du parti du président Chen Shui-bian陳水扁, qui a décidé de rouvrir le dossier en 2000 après son élection. Le rapport officiel d'enquête de 400 pages publié mardi met en cause l'ancien Premier ministre Hau Pei-tsun 郝柏村et deux anciens officiers supérieurs pour avoir décidé d'acquérir des frégates françaises de type Lafayette au lieu de bâtiments sud-coréens sans en référer au président Lee Teng-hui李登輝. Hau, ancien chef d'état-major et ex-ministre de la Défense, et les officiers concernés ont démenti avoir outrepassé leurs pouvoirs.

Le marché était alors évalué à 10 milliards de francs. Ils montrent que le gouvernement a approuvé la vente à Taiwan des frégates fabriquées par Thomson-CSF tout en envoyant Roland Dumas杜馬, ministre des Affaires étrangères informer Pékin du marché. Lorsque le marché fut conclu, deux mois plus tard, la facture était passée à 15 milliards de francs. "Nous ne pouvons pas rester silencieux en sachant que nous avons été trahis", a déclaré Kang.

Ci joint un lourd document et les propos de Kang infamants qui se base sur les documents du 5 Juin que je lui ai remis enprésence de R Dumas qu il a rencontre avec moi. Je veux y faire un démenti l ayant reçu, lui ayant donne cesdocuments et signe deux dépositions en présence de l avocate chinoise Mme Yu femme de Yvon Yu, l ayant vu s intéresser aussi a la DCNI pour les sous marins et très incorrect vis a vis de moi et de M Dumas.Accuser la France de trahison est inadmissible quand de nombreux francais ont risque leur carrière pour aider Taiwan a se défendre. C est la Navy qui a impose Wang Sp et c est le Gouvernement de Taiwan qui n a pas respecte la base même de ses engagements en ne choisissant pas le TGV contre les promesses faites. La Navy continue encore ses négociations bien troubles sans poursuivre Thomson en justice et en se procurant des équipement inutiles... le preuve: plus bas c est une mainie a Taipei !

Taiwan money scandal has White House ties
Bush officials under scrutiny in influence-peddling intrigue.
By Joshua Micah Marshall April 5, 2002 WASHINGTON --
An influence-peddling scandal has erupted in Taiwain, and Bush administration officials have been named in leaked Taiwanese intelligence documents as the recipients of financial support. And while it's too soon to tell whether the story has the stamina to make it halfway around the world, the U.S. officials named -- including Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul D. Wolfowitz and two assistant secretaries of state, along with a Clinton Defense Department appointee -- have already clammed up, refusing to talk to the press.
There is no evidence of any lawbreaking, but the scandal does threaten to expose the type of political influence-peddling that Washington is both renowned -- and reviled -- for.
James Kelly Broke US Law by Not Registering as a Foreign Agent of Taiwan. From a Salon.com article:Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly's extensive role in Taiwangate is slowly emerging, and it's an ugly picture. Kelly helped Taiwan bribe a former top Japanese defense official, so Japan would push the US to include Taiwan in our proposed Asian missile defense "shield" ("sieve" is more like it). While laundering Taiwan's $100,000 bribe (in the form of a Harvard fellowship), Kelly may have kept $60,400 of it for his Pacific Forum, part of the Scaife-funded CSIS. (CSIS initially lied about the money, but now admits its money-laundering role.) Kelly's financial actions made him a foreign agent, but he failed to register with the Justice Department. Kelly's role is described in great detail in Joshua Micah Marshall's article in Salon.http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2002/04/05/taiwan/index.html

Navy takes legal action over frigates
STAFF WRITER
Taiwan's navy has taken legal action in Switzerland and France to recover kickbacks paid for Lafayette frigate sales to Taiwan, according to the Chinese-language media.
Lei Kuang-shu (¹p¥ú¹Ö), the navy's deputy chief of staff, said the navy plans to request arbitration by a Paris trade council
Overseas action
Lei also said lawyers representing the Taiwan navy had filed a court order in Paris seeking preservation of evidence at the French arms supplier Thomson-CSF, which is now called Thales.
The navy is also seeking a role in a criminal investigation into kickback funds in Switzerland, as well as continued freezing of bank deposits made there by Thomson's former agent Andrew Wang (汪傳浦), Lei said.
Lei said the navy was also collecting information regarding retired high-ranking executives from Thomson-CSF like MR Gomez who may have leaked secrets about the Lafayette frigates to China. Thomson has denied the last media reports about the leak.
People First Party Legislator Lee Ching-hua (李慶華) called the navy's actions inadequate and asked for immediate lawsuits. Lee accused the navy of dragging its feet, saying more delays will prove deleterious to Taiwan's interests.
The government has come under fire recently for progressing too slowly in the Lafayette investigation, as well as in a related probe into the murder of navy captain Yin Ching-feng (尹清楓).
Joel Bucher, former manager of the French bank Societe Generale's Taipei branch, also expressed doubts . He said Taiwan's investigators may be unable to act freely due to political involvement in the case.
Bucher will go to Taiwan again to assist Taiwan investigators. Control Yuan task force investigating the Lafayette case urged the navy to file lawsuits to recover the US$26.75 million in kickbacks that had been confirmed with bank some banks payments done through Socgen Taipei.
Investigators believe that as much as US$400 million was paid in illegal commissions over the frigate sales with French Banks assistance in Taipei as huge commissions were discovered at Socgen.
Swiss prosecutors froze bank accounts containing SF250 million (US$142 million) they suspect stem from bribes paid by Elf Aquitaine. The formerly state-owned French oil giant is alleged to have paid out the bribes to sell the six warships to Taiwan.
French prosecutors are investigating allegations that Elf Aquitaine provided millions of dollars in bribes to help French firms win lucrative contracts to sell the frigates to Taiwan.
Reports said the case came to light when Credit Suisse became suspicious of a man from Taiwan who said he was depositing the large sum on behalf of previous French Prime Minister and others including Mrs Guigou and Mr H Vedrine still Ministers.
Scandal claims victims
The French corruption scandal has already claimed a number of high-profile victims.
Former French foreign minister Roland Dumas was convicted of corruption and sentenced to six months prison at the end of a trial that captivated France with its tales of sex, greed and ambition.
Taiwan shows Paris to have informed Peking about frigates TAIPEH
The mediator taiwanais having directed the investigation into the business of corruption surrounding the sale by France in the island into 1991 of six military frigates shows Paris to have informed China of Peking of all the details of this contract.
"I make deal with you and you transmit all my secrecies to my enemy. Which kind of government are you thus?" Kang Ning-hsiang, a member of the party of president Chen Shui-bian was indignant, which decided to reopen the file in 2000 after its election.
The official report/ratio of investigation of 400 pages published Tuesday blames the former Prime Minister Hau Pei-tsun and two former senior officers to have decided to acquire French frigates of Lafayette type instead of South Korean buildings without referring to president Lee Teng-hui about it.
Hau, former head of staff and ex-minister of Defense, and the officers concerned contradicted to have exceeded their capacities.
Kang declared that part of the investigation was based on secret documents submitted on June 5, 1991 French to the Prime Minister of then, Edith Cresson. The market was then evaluated to 10 billion francs.
They show that the government approved the sale in Taiwan of the frigates manufactured by Thomson-CSF while sending Roland Dumas, Foreign Minister to inform Peking of the market. When the market was concluded, two months later, the invoice had passed to 15 billion francs
"We cannot remain quiet by knowing that we were betrayed", Kang declared. Taiwan engaged of lawyers in France and Switzerland to try to obtain the refunding of the commissions related to this contract. "That will take time", recognized Kang

La presse chinoise de Taiwan publie curieusement la première ouverture du compte de M Albessard à la SG de Taipei pour Thomson.
L executive Yuan remontera la filière des commissions à partir de ce compte et impliquera de nombreuses personnes.
Le bureau de représentation financé via ce compte se trouvait dans le même immeuble que la SG Taipei qui sous louait aussi à Total Pernod Ricard.
De 530 millions de FF les exportations françaises d armement en faveur de Taiwan passent à
14 milliards en 96,
14,1 en 97
16 milliards en 98 date de la dernière livraison de la sixième frégate.
Depuis 1992 c' est 59 milliards d' armement que la France a vendu pour générer des commissions estimées à plus de 15 milliards. Bravo represent à lui seul , 5 milliards. L' art de vendre un nouveau style de corruption, mais pas aussi furtif que les frégates.
