NEW VERSION-FRANCE-ANGOLA-JUSTICE-ANGOLAGATE
French businessman Pierre Falcone (R) arrives at Paris' courthouse on October 27, 2009, to take part in a hearing of the trial over a vast "arms-to-Angola" scandal involving forty-two people including Jean-Christophe Mitterrand, the son of late French president Francois Mitterrand, himself and dozens of businessmen, politicians and public figures. Dubbed "Angolagate" by the French press, the long-running affair has cast a shadow over a raft of senior government officials, including many who served during Mitterrand's two-term Socialist presidency 1981-1995. Former prefect Jean Charles Marchiani, was sentenced to jail for receiving multi-million-dollar kickbacks for public contracts in the 1990s but was released on February 16, 2009 after being presidentially pardonned.
