PARIS, Aug 20: French magistrate Isabelle Prevost-Desprez has admitted in exasperation that the more indictments she issues with regard to a major money-laundering racket continuing between France and Israel, that she is in charge of investigating, the more the scheme seems to continue practically unabated. The racket has been robbing French banks, companies and individuals of thousands of millions of dollars.

Although indictments have regularly been handed down since 1998 illegal transactions that have hardly slowed down since the first indictments were handed down on August 3, 1998.
