Alleged Libyan influence in the 2007 French elections

 * ... that investigators allege Libyan influence in the 2007 French elections was partly accomplished by laundering money from the sale of paintings by 17th century Dutch artist Andries van Eertvelt (pictured)?
 * Reviewed: forthcoming Template:Did you know nominations/Henriette Feuerbach
 * Comment: This article deals entirely with unproved allegations against BLPs so there are a very finite number of possible hooks which would be appropriate for the front page.

 * Incidentally, looking at WP:BLPCRIME and WP:CRIME, I think that an appropriately-worded hook could happily name living accusees — for example to say that "winner Nicolas Sarkozy's chief of staff Claude Guéant" has been "accused of" laundering money, for example. But I'm happy with your original hook nonetheless. — OwenBlacker (talk; please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 22:16, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but wonder if the page move to Alleged Libyan financing in the 2007 French presidential election affects the hook wording in any way? Yoninah (talk) 23:02, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think it needs to affect the wording; I'm happy for the hook to be promoted as-is. — OwenBlacker (talk; please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 06:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
