Chachaty came to Egypt from Syria many years ago, and is now employed as a tobacco blender and taster in one of Cairo's large cigarette factories.

He says he is bringing documents from Syria which will prove he is the sole heir to the fortune after Zaharoff's two daughters.

Chachaty maintains that Zaharoff was an - Armienian born in the Syrian town of Aleppo

about 1849.

Zaharoff's real name, he says, was Chachaty and the arms dealer's father was a brother of his (Chachaty's) grandfather.
