In 1975, in Spain, on November 20th, the death of Francisco Franco allows the restoration of the Monarchie. From this date, the Communist groups anti , of Extrême right-hand side, lodged hitherto by the pro-Franco mode are not welcome any more; they seek primarily refuge in South America, primarily in the Chile of Pinochet or in the Argentine and its junta. For the old ones of the OAS, it is the beginning of South American activism and the co-operation in the fight anticommunist with the CIA
Money
In this beginning 1976, Jean Kay is in Paris. He attends his former friends, of the ex-OAS, of the mercenaries, of which some have turned out badly, following the example Jacques Prévost, entreated " small-Clamart" and taking part in the abduction in December of Louis Hazan, chairman of Phonogram. He lives with Boulogne-Billancourt with and in the apartment of Daniele Marquet, whom he knows since 1972.The latter has had as a friend Bernadette Roels, 36 years, a ex-prostitute converted into managing of restaurant (to 42 rue du go to Paris 12th) thanks to the money of his/her lover for several months: Herve de Vathaire.
This last, 48 years, Finance manager of Dassault aviation for 24 years, has just lost his Chantal wife on April 19th, which succumbed to a cancer. Its conscience had pushed it for several years to constitute a tax file compromising against its owner. It meets Jean Kay via Bernadette Roels and her friend, Danielle Marquet, the partner of Jean Kay. The two men sympathize, the financial ones allured by the personality except standard of Kay, this last by its proximity with the money. Both erect scaffolding a plan: thanks to the file of Vathaire, they decide to make sing Dassault. From May 6th to 10th, both, accompanied by their friends, will go on a journey to Miami, in Florida, with the the United States; according to the sources, they will be either holidays, or of a meeting with cuban exiled anti castrist, and a fortiori anticommunist. Jean Kay will say to many friends, from of which the journalist Alain Leluc come to meet it in a luxury hotel with Collins Avenue in Miami Beach: “I am on a business of a billion”.
But on their return in France, Jean Kay has a better idea: he subtilizes the file of the finance manager and the fact of singing in his turn: July 6th, of Vathaire goes to the branch BNP to 24 avenue de la Grande Armée to Paris, and withdraws simply, thanks to the signature which it has on the account of its owner, and with the confidence which obtained from the personnel of the agency, 8 million francs (800 million old francs, 1,2 million euros, 1,6 million dollars of the time), is 16 thousand ticket of 500 francs, on the account of Marcel Dassault, which it puts in two large bags; then it disappears with Jean Kay. The two accomplices seemed not to fear continuations, since they quietly spend their first night in the apartment of Boulogne of " Dany" Marquet, then the night of the 7 in the " Large Hotel of Château" in Divone, close to the Swiss border. Learning the complaint from Dassault, the escape starts.
De Vathaire only will be found, in Greece, where it was delivered to the police force, but without the money. Jean Kay is, him, untraceable. Three million will be found all the same on two bank accounts Switzerland, one in the name of Kay, the other of his/her Danièle partner.
August 27th, 2 days after the resignation of Jacques Chirac (implied in the file of Vathaire, which denounces the payments occult of Dassault to the RPR) of her functions of Prime Minister (political resignation without relationship with this business), the press is with the current and the Affaire of Vathaire bursts at the great day.
The destination of the disappeared sum remains mysterious. For some, it would have financed the Lebanese Christian Phalanges in full civil war and helps with old of the OAS in Spain; for others, it would have financed two burglings having been able to be used to feed from the global area networks of extreme right-hand side: break-in of the General society of Paris in August 1976, and the breakage of Nice of Albert Spaggiari, the weekend of July 17th 1976, whose Jean Kay east can be also in the team, with, inter alia, of old of the OAS (including one certain “Targui”, accompanied by “Mireille”, and certain “luck”). Albert Spaggiari also was to him with Miami before its break-in. Are the two businesses they related to the fight American anticommunist?
At all events, Jean Kay will keep most of the stolen sum, since he will say some five years later: “I had the Nirvāna money. I could all buy: a plane, a Yacht of luxury, an Argentinian Hacienda in …”.
The escape
After the arrest of Vathaire, its fellow-member of fortune, in Greece, country where it bought a sailing ship with Athens of which it cannot be useful, Jean Kay tries to flee with the Lebanon to join his friends of the Tanzim. Interpol and “certain secret services” is with its cases. Starting from 1977, it flees a little everywhere: Spain, Portugal, Swiss, Singapore, Miami, and some even will regard it as death. It reaches finally the England, where it buys a second boat and begins its maritime escape, with his Danièle partner. In 1981, the magazine Paris Match, under the feather of Alain Leluc, friend of Jean Kay , finds it in India, always accompanied by his/her friend " Dany" , and “tramp says it”, living a refuge with the foot of the the Himalayas, nourishing himself of a rice bowl per day. He states “to have found Peace”, and likes to say that for him, “the future does not exist any more”.
However, in 1982, with New Delhi, the future strikes with its door by presenting Fiona Field to him, one of the girls of Marshall Field III, founder of the Field empire to the the United States. She fled the Western life of heiress of one of the largest American dynasties by carrying out a bohemian life, energy of communities Hippies on initiatory journeys. He will live ensembleNew Delhi -->. At the beginning 1984, driven out Australia, one finds them with Calcutta, where Jean Kay is again in prison, for disorders with the law and order. They are finally expelled. In 1985 his Fiona wife gives birth in the the Caribbean to the fourth girl of Kay, Jeanne.
They will live at sea until the age of the schooling of their daughter.
The retirement?
The Nineties see the end (temporary) of the maritime mare. Jean Kay and his family live with ground, between Spain (Alicante, Barcelona) and the area of Toulouse, to raise their last daughter. In 1997 it publishes its Autobiographie, the Warrior of the Hope . But an tragic event will come to disturb this life of land in the South of France: the February 24th 2000 his Fiona wife dies tragically. Jean Kay earlier publishes his new book drawn from the episode “Calcutta” 15 years: “the island where the love is descended on ground”. He sets out again food at sea with his daughter in 2004.
