Review finds no direct Jepsen Africa fund tie
A Des Moines Tribune review of Sen. Roger Jepsen's Iowa campaign records found no illegal contributions from the South African government. The probe noted 28 American firms with South Africa links donated 20 500 through PACs, but no evidence of laundering or direct foreign funding. FBI and Justice Department probes explored indirect help via Richard Viguerie and anti abortion groups, with no proven South African connection.
