We now know that the Prime Minister's officials used taxpayer dollars to reimburse hospitality expenses for one staff, who was staying on the island with the Prime Minister, to Lexthree Ltd. Did the Prime Minister believe that his friend had changed his name to Lexthree Ltd., or did he know all along that he was staying on an island that was owned by a bunch of shell companies?</p>",

Nous savons aujourd'hui que les repr\u00e9sentants du premier ministre ont utilis\u00e9 l'argent des contribuables pour rembourser \u00e0 Lexthree Ltd. les frais d'accueil d'un membre du personnel, qui a s\u00e9journ\u00e9 sur l'\u00eele avec le premier ministre. Le premier ministre croyait-il que son ami s'\u00e9tait rebaptis\u00e9 Lexthree Ltd., ou savait-il depuis le d\u00e9but que l'\u00eele o\u00f9 il s\u00e9journait appartenait \u00e0 un groupe de soci\u00e9t\u00e9s fictives?</p>"
