Liquidation Court Trial in Paris

Panama Canal Construction Historic Photo - Paris France 1891

Wikipedia writes: The collapse of the company was a major scandal in France, and the role of two Jewish speculators in the affair enabled Edouard Drumont, an anti-semite, to exploit the matter. 104 legislators were found to have been involved in the corruption and Jean Jaur�s was commissioned by the French parliament to conduct an inquiry into the matter, completed in 1893.
