York City Paris court sentences Arlette Ricci to three years in jail for ‘particularly determined willingness for over 20 years’ to hide money The heir to the Nina Ricci perfume dynasty has been sentenced to three years in prison, two of them suspended, after being convicted on Monday of hiding money from the French taxman with the help of HSBC A Paris court also fined Arlette Ricci €1m (£722,000) after declaring she had shown a “particularly determined willingness for more than 20 years” to hide money left to her by her father in Swiss bank accounts “The seriousness of the facts are an exceptional threat to public order and the republican pact,” read the judgment, seen as an important precedent for as many as 50 other cases of alleged tax fraud involving HSBC in France Judges also ordered the seizure of a house in Paris and a property in Corsica with a total estimated value of €4m that it said had been transferred to family trusts in an alleged attempt by Ricci to “organise her own insolvability” and escape financial penalties Ricci, 74, is the first of around 50 wealthy French nationals being pursued in the courts for allegedly placing money in Switzerland to avoid taxes she was accused of hiding €18m from the French taxman insisting the measures taken to optimise her tax bill were legal The judgment comes just five days after HSBC Holdings was officially mis en examen for complicity in hiding fiscal fraud and illegal selling via its Swiss arm between 2006 and 2007 The Geneva-based branch of the bank is accused of having hidden around €5bn for nearly 9,000 wealthy French customers Ricci’s tax adviser Henri-Nicolas Fleurance was given a one-year suspended prison sentence and a €10,000 fine for attempting to organise her insolvency and Ricci’s daughter an eight-month suspended sentence for fiscal fraud The heiress’s lawyers said they would consider the judgment before deciding whether to appeal The Swiss branch of HSBC, Britain’s biggest bank, was officially put under investigation last November on allegations that it helped rich clients conceal money in offshore accounts Ricci’s name was among around 3,000 suspected tax fraudsters holding non-declared bank accounts in Switzerland The names featured in bank files passed to the French authorities in 2008 by HSBC employee Hervé Falciani but Ricci’s was among 50 that were handed over to the courts She was arrested in 2011 after police turned up at her apartment on Paris’s chic Boulevard Saint-Germain in a dawn raid Ricci was held in custody for 48 hours before being put under investigation Her lawyers had attempted to have the case thrown out arguing that the Falciani documents were stolen and should not be admitted as evidence the Swiss branch of HSBC is facing charges of fraud and money laundering in Belgium after the Brussels authorities claimed it had “knowingly eased and promoted fiscal fraud by making offshore companies available to certain privileged clients” was an Italian-born clothes designer who settled in France aged 12 in 1895 developed the company’s perfume sideline and raised the firm’s international profile Arlette Ricci inherited his fortune on his

Schatzker is laying out three of his own cherished babies on the kitchen counter There is an ordinary corn-fed rib-eye from a local butcher shop - what Schatzker calls "commodity steak." This was the standard and ubiquitous steak that inspired him to travel to seven countries in search of something better There is a larger grass-fed black Wagyu rib-eye inspired by his experience with kobe beef in Japan cut from a steer Schatzker helped raise in Ontario after Fleurance was Schatzker hasn't done the per-steak cost amortization yet Beside them are two grass-fed rib-eyes from Idaho's Pahsimeroi Valley One good thing about eating a steak dinner at the home of a man who has written a book on the subject is that he knows what he's talking about given the fractious and dogmatic state of the food world: They have opinions Schatzker set out to tear apart every meat stereotype he could find His search for a sublime piece of meat starts in Texas (disappointment and despair and a lungful of fecal dust from the state's endless feedlots) He makes his way to France (where he visits the cave drawings at Lascaux - "pictures of steak" - and feasts on ersatz aurochs a Nazi-inspired reintroduction of cattle first domesticated 10,000 years ago); to Scotland (terrifying details about scrotums and artificial insemination and inspiring grass-fed Highland cattle steaks); to Italy (yum) Japan (double yum) and Argentina (an education in open-fire grilling); and then back by way of Fleurance (whom he raises with the help of chef Michael Stadtlander to name just a few of Fleurance's excellent taste notes) with whom he ate the steak that finally transported him to heaven "Smell them," Schatzker says in his kitchen fresh Idaho rib-eyes that made me realize the local butcher shop steak didn't smell much like meat at all Schatzker tears himself a flag of paper towel and begins to pat the steaks dry Drying is essential before salting and grilling "to avoid boiled flavours." Schatzker talks like that sometimes A Frenchman he met in Scotland insisted in using a ridged grill pan for the same reason especially when a steak had been vacuum-packed Next - avoid this sentence if you have high blood pressure - he applies a large palmful of kosher salt to each side of each steak "Omega-3 fatty acids make up 13 per cent of the human brain," he says there are theories that suggest that human intelligence began when we started to eat oysters on the coast of Africa." He laid out the bare bones of the book's central argument about the human brain's craving for fat and to his theory about why human beings have always hunted the fattest animals in a herd unlike lesser primates that opportunistically eat skinny animals that have died We pad across Fleurance's hide to the patio "I wasn't even sure that Thornbury [Ontario]grass was good enough," Schatzker says as he lays the steaks on a hot gas barbecue for 10 minutes ("Gas isn't as bad as the Argentines say.") Grass-feeding is by no means a sure thing as the quality of grass-fed beef can be affected even by the time of day a steer grazes Yield and consistency (the virtues of corn-fed beef) are tricky Schatzker has eaten way more bad grass-fed than good "I've ruined steak for my father," he allows and goes back on the grill for two minutes more "Everybody thinks that the secret to steak is in the cooking," Schatzker says It's in the steak." Back at the table he carves half-inch slices of steak for each of us Schatzker says - he's a slight control freak with his meat and anxious about details - with the commodity steak and finish with his Idaho grass-fed beauties The black Wagyu is like the cosmos exploding by comparison: juicier It is like eating some kind of gloriously rare thing and the taste sustains for five and more chews It's not that it isn't good: It is too good "We actually eat less meat now than we did before," Schatzker says and the good stuff from Idaho runs more than $25 a pop (The commodity beef had put him out $8.60.) But the cause of taste is worth paying for Schatzker believes his mission is akin to that of author and food localist Michael Pollan So much of our food is about industrialized product talking about meat and all the other subjects a good meal inspires: theatre a personal experience that is very difficult to communicate," Schatzker says Mark Schatzker's weekly humour column can be found in Globe T.O This is by far the most difficult step in this recipe There is a rather large selection to choose from: strips Get to know each cut as intimately as your pillow any and every cut will be eminently palatable Don't fall into the trap of believing that bigger steaks are always better Don't cook a cold steak on a hot grill or pan Only experience will tell you how much is enough and it's always better to err on the not enough Don't be one of those people who run around uttering bombastic statements like "I have no respect for anyone who eats a steak over medium rare." Roughly three quarters of all Argentines eat steak well done and they probably eat more steak than you do Burning happens when rich men with big barbecues - loudmouth types usually - cook thick steaks on a torrid grill for too long which could take anywhere from one minute to eight minutes Pick up the steak with your tongs and waggle it When beads of red liquid start to form on the surface in which case you might try moistening it with the tears dripping off your cheek Resting allows heat from the exterior of a thick steak to radiate inward and cook the meat in the centre It is acceptable and often quite enjoyable to cut into a steak that's raw in the middle Resist the temptation to smother your steak in a sauce or rub Steak sauce is like crystal meth - habit forming and ruinous the flavour of steak will be the best thing on your plate Reprinted by arrangement with Viking Penguin Report an editorial error Report a technical issue Editorial code of conduct Authors and topics you follow will be added to your personal news feed in Following narratively-driven feature stories about a wide variety of subjects He began his professional life at The Financial Post His three-part series about his disabled son was among the first multi-part multi-media stories published in The Globe and Mail and went on to become a multiple-award winning book which The New York Times judged one of the 10 best books of 2011 about the inside life of Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital was later used as a source document in the creation of the North American TV series of the same name Ian has written award-winning articles on subjects as complex various and hilarious as thoroughbred horse-racing addiction and Canada's family business dynasties as a contributor to This American Life and Morningside and as host of no fewer than three CBC radio programs: Later the Same Day the writer and journalist Johanna Schneller; they have two children look at paintings and ski in the back-country Welcome to The Globe and Mail’s comment community.
