Rwandan fugitive Felicien Kabuga, one of the masterminds of the Genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, appeared in a Paris court on Wednesday, and denied he killed anyone.
Kabuga founded and funded two of the deadliest weapons of the genocide; the propaganda radio RTLM and its cousin magazine "Kangura", and machetes.
Kabuga, whose daughters had married in then-president Juvenal Habyarimana's house, put his immense riches to good use, reportedly living in Kenya, then making his way through Europe, staying in Germany and, in recent years, France.
Indeed, reports say Kabuga used to take walks in his Paris neighbourhood, and he was considered a nice quiet old man.
Maddo's idea, though, was that perhaps the French, who have been accused of complicity in the genocide, believe than an amnestic Kabuga can no longer remember where some of the bodies are still buried, and is unlikely to embarrass them.
