| Notes | One of Greene's final works, the pamphlet J'Accuse – The Dark Side of Nice (1982), concerns a legal matter embroiling him and his extended family in Nice. He declared that organised crime flourished in Nice because the city's upper levels of civic government had protected judicial and police corruption. The accusation provoked a libel lawsuit that Greene lost. He was vindicated after his death when in 1994 the former mayor of Nice, Jacques Médecin, was imprisoned for corruption and associated crimes. [wikipedia] |
