BREAKING: Sarkozy arrested, Drake was right-so it begins…..
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s home and his Paris offices were searched today by police, France Inter said, without citing a source for the information.
Police went to the home he shares with wife Carla Bruni as well as his law office and another bureau he keeps at the request of judges in Bordeaux looking into allegations of campaign finance violations, the radio station reported on its website.
Calls for comment on the report by Bloomberg News to the prosecutors in Bordeaux, Sarkozy’s office, and his lawyer were not immediately returned.
The searches were conducted as part of investigations related to L’Oreal SA (OR) heiressLiliane Bettencourt, France’s richest woman, France Inter said. Judges in Bordeaux are looking into claims that illegal cash donations went to fund Sarkozy’s 2007 presidential campaign by way of Bettencourt’s former financial adviser.
