                   ***FRENCH TROOPS IN IVORY COAST CONVICTED OF BANK ROBBERY*** 2005-06-22 05:16 (New York)

> Nairobi (dpa) – **Twelve French troops were convicted in a Paris military court of stealing cash last year from an Ivory Coast bank they supposedly were protecting**, the Ivorian daily *Fraternite* reported Wednesday. The troops stole about 400,000 dollars from the bank in the rebel-held town of Man in the country’s northwest.
> They were part of a 4,000-strong French force sent to monitor a fragile ceasefire between Ivorian troops and rebels, whose 2002 uprising virtually split the country in half.
> Eight of them were sentenced to a year in prison, and four others were sentenced up to eight months. **The soldiers allegedly devised a plan to rob the bank when they noticed one of the bank’s security walls had been damaged**, the newspaper reported.
> In a separate incident, six other French peacekeepers are expected to stand trial later this year for allegedly stealing nearly 20,000 dollars in African Financial Community (CFA) francs from a bank in the rebel’s northern stronghold of Bouake.
> The incidents have undermined France’s efforts to broker peace in Ivory Coast, a former French colony.
