Investigators have searched French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy’s home and offices as part of an illegal financing probe tied to his 2007 campaign, reports the AP:
The official says Judge Jean-Michel Gentil and other investigators from the Paris financial crimes unit conducted the search. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be publicly named discussing an ongoing investigation.
The probe centers on the finances of France’s richest woman, L’Oreal cosmetics heiress Lilliane Bettencourt.
