Jérôme Cahuzac
Jérôme Cahuzac is a French politician and former minister who gained notoriety for his involvement in a financial scandal involving tax fraud. He served as the Minister of Health and later as the Minister of Budget in the French government, but his political career was marred by allegations that he held a secret bank account in Switzerland to evade taxes. In 2013, he was forced to resign and subsequently sentenced to prison for his crimes. Cahuzac's case highlighted issues of accountability and transparency within French politics, leading to a broader discussion on corruption and financial misconduct among public officials.
