The
bar of soap was made by artist Gianni Motti who claims he bought the body fat
from a Swiss clinic which allegedly carried out liposuction on the leader.
Motti
has since offered to provide DNA samples to authenticate the origin of the body
fat.
The
soap, exhibited at an art exhibition in Basel, Switzerland, has since been sold
for $18,000.
Motti
described the body fat to website
Ananova:
"It
was jelly-like and it stunk horribly, like butter gone off or old chip pan oil."
