Four French soldiers are accused of robbing a bank in Ivory Coast they were supposed to be guarding, sources say.
The men have been placed under judicial investigation, one step short of formal charges, say judicial and military officials in Paris.
They are accused of taking 58,000 euros from the bank in the northern rebel-held town of Bouake.
The officials in Paris said the men were detained after allegedly trying to buy diamonds and gold.
The soldiers are accused of "aggravated theft" in November and December, sources say.
The soldiers are all said to come from the 126th Infantry Regiment, which was guarding the branch of the Central Bank of West African States. They are not being held in custody.
The branch had already been the scene of an attempted robbery and violent clashes between pro-government and rebel forces.
At least 23 people had died before the French moved in last September.
Four-thousand French troops are in Ivory Coast trying to ensure a fragile ceasefire holds.

Why did a bank in the Ivory Coast have so much in Euros? Do some African countries use the Euro too?

They don't use them officially, but Ivory Coast is a fucking mess, so a lot of people probably prefer the more realiable currency.

Stealing from a bank here is a federal offense is that different over there?

Seeing how Ivory Coast isn't a confederation, I would think it is......

This may sound bad, but there are some places where they have so many problems they should just destroy everything and start over again.  It gets to the point where no matter what you do, things will never be "good".  Tops on the list: The Congo, Random Islamic extremist controlled country inserted here, and Detroit.

You forgot Israel. Oh boy, how much better would the world be if they had never decided to create Israel. I'm sure most Israelites wouldn't have minded it much either.

Gents, keep in mind these countries have had some sort of establishment for thousands of years. Give North America another 1 or 2 thousand years, we'll be in the same mess.
People just get tired of stagnation, and crave something new. That something new comes in, and sometimes turns out to be the shits. Thus is the crazy messed up sister fucking uncle sucking world we live in.

It's no coincidence that "OD" sounds like "odd".
