Bolo, Paul (Pasha) (died 1918)

French traitor and confidence trickster. In February 1915 he gained the confidence of the Khedive of Egypt and got his backing for a scheme to get money from Germany to promote a campaign for peace in France. It was later discovered that before his arrest in September 1917 he had received some £300,000 from German sources. He was tried and executed for obtaining money from an enemy in order to create a pacifist movement in France.
