report: sarkozy has been an israeli spy since 1983

from press tv: A report reveals French President Nicolas Sarkozy worked long years as an asset for Israeli intelligence long before he was elected president.

French daily Le Figaro said last week the French leader once worked for the Zionist regime as a sayan - Hebrew for helper.

Ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky says sayans, who perform many roles, are Jewish citizens of other nationalities assisting Mossad.

Le Figaro claimed even before the presidential election, French police officials managed to keep secret a letter, which exposed Sarkozy's past participation in espionage activities on behalf of Mossad.

The letter fixed Sarkozy's alleged spying activities as far back as 1983.
