Lots about this story in the French news at the moment. Where there is a serious amount of money, expect trouble and Lilian Bettancourt suffering with dementia is the richest woman in the world.
Specifically, he is suspected of accepting envelopes stuffed with cash (up to four million euros or $5.2 million) from 90-year-old L’Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt – the world’s richest woman – to fund his 2007 election campaign, while Bettencourt was suffering from mental deterioration.
If the formal inquiry finds enough evidence, the 58-year-old Sarkozy would faces charges of breaching electoral spending limits and taking advantage of an individual weakened by poor health.
