A French reporter looking for the source of boats used by refugees to get to Europe from Turkey followed the trail to a shop belonging to the French honorary consul in the port town of Bodrum.<br /><br /> Footage from France 2 showed Francoise Olcay selling the rubber boats and lifejackets from her shop which had a French flag and a ‘consular agency of France’ sign hanging outside. She has now been suspended.<br /><br /> In the video she admits to taking part in selling the goods, but also implicates local Turkish authorities and says that if she didn’t sell them, they would be bought elsewhere.<br /><br /> Bodrum has become a portal to Europe to thousands of refugees. It was along this coastline that three-year-old Aylan Kurdi drowned along with his mother and brother and nine other Syrians when their boat capsized as they headed for Greece.
