From Wikipedia

The Urba affair was a political financing scandal in France involving the covert funding of the Parti socialiste (PS) through kickbacks from companies awarded public works contracts. The system was created in 1971, two years after the Épinay Congress that formed the modern PS under François Mitterrand; the Urba consultancy was formally established in 1973. Its ostensible purpose was to advise Socialist-led communes on infrastructure and public works. The scheme operated until 1990 and gave rise to criminal proceedings that concluded in 1997.
