Panama scandals
The Panama scandals (also known as the "Panama Canal Scandal") were a corruption affair in France in the late 19th century, linked to the building of the Panama Canal. A million francs were lost when the government took bribes not to tell the public that the Panama Canal company was in huge financial trouble.
