I know , I was one of the people being investigated. At the enquiry, they asked me why , I bought the shares, I replied it was already in the press at the time I bought and anyway why were they not investigating the Liberals ? The lawyers started laughing , I asked what was so funny , they answered are you really that naive?
Anyway, I later learned that it was the president of Petrofina (a Quebec political hack ) who had initiated the deal when he learned that the Liberals wanted to buy Gulf Oil. The Fina boy had sold all his shares in Petrofina before the take-over and then re bought them off-shore. Got away with it , but died from lung cancer shortly after. Just can't beat karma sometimes !!
Small world my friend!!!
