Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn't know either language) that "starred" a villain named something like Amin Tumani ("I'm in to money", but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I'm 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.
Yeah, that art style looks very familiar. I'll have to look into it more, since I'm starting to doubt some of the other details I provided. Oh, and the wiki says the animated series started airing on Canal+ in 1996. Maybe it aired elsewhere before?
But yeah, I think this is it 👍.
P.S. Iznogoud, like "is no good". I must have misremembered his name, cuz that makes sense!
