Nicolas Sarkozy arrested over corruption allegations linked ...
Evening Standard
Peter Allen in Paris
Published: 01 July 2014
Nicolas Sarkozy today became the first former French president to be held in police custody as he was questioned over corruption allegations.
The 59-year-old arrived at the offices of the judicial police in Nanterre, the Paris suburb, shortly after 8am.
He was placed “garde a vue” — a legal term meaning he is a suspect at the centre of a major criminal enquiry.
It relates to so-called “influence peddling” — effectively trying to interfere with those investigating him over a range of corruption enquiries.
Sarkozy’s lawyer, Thierry Herzog, and two judges were taken into custody for questioning yesterday in relation to the same investigation. Both Sarkozy and Herzog are suspected of trying to pervert the course of justice through their contacts in the judiciary.
Sarkozy is alleged to have offered an attractive job to Gilbert Azibert, one of the judges, in return for inside information about the progress of the so-called Bettencourt affair. This was a case in which Sarkozy was accused of accepting millions in illegal cash from Liliane Bettencourt, the L’Oréal heiress and France’s richest woman, towards his election campaign in 2007.
Investigators also believe Sarkozy was illegally tipped off that his phone was being tapped as part of investigations into another matter, the so-called Gaddafi Affair. This is said to have involved Sarkozy receiving millions more from the late Colonel Gaddafi — the former Libyan leader. The offices of both Gilbert Azibert and Thierry Herzog were raided by police in early March. Computer equipment and a mobile phone belonging to Herzog were seized.
Suspecting that his phone was bugged, Sarkozy is said to have used a dedicated mobile phone, registered under the name of “Paul Bismuth”, for conversations with his lawyer. Sarkozy’s home was raided by anti-corruption police within days of him stepping down as president in 2012. He lost an election to Francois Hollande, meaning he no longer enjoyed presidential immunity from prosecution.

Gaddafi was killed by French secret serviceman on orders of Nicolas Sarkozy, sources claim
French secret serviceman acting on the express orders of Nicolas Sarkozy is suspected of murdering Colonel Gaddafi, it was sensationally claimed today.
He is said to have infiltrated a violent mob mutilating the captured Libyan dictator last year and shot him in the head.
The motive, according to well-placed sources in the North African country, was to stop Gaddafi being interrogated about his highly suspicious links with Sarkozy, who was President of France at the time.

France's Nicolas Sarkozy 'had phone tapped by judges'

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has had his phone tapped for the past year on the orders of judges investigating alleged campaign donations from Libya, it is claimed.
And Le Monde newspaper says the phone taps have revealed evidence of tampering with the justice system.
It says a senior prosecutor in the country's highest court was feeding Mr Sarkozy confidential information.
Mr Sarkozy's lawyer denies the claims and says the phone taps were illegal.
The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says that the investigators who ordered the taps were looking into allegations, unproven, that Mr Sarkozy had taken illegal payments for his election campaign from late Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi.
According to Le Monde, what the investigators discovered from the phone taps was that Mr Sarkozy was getting inside information from the courts about the course of various inquiries into his past.
This information was allegedly being fed from a senior prosecutor at the appeals court whom, Le Monde says, Mr Sarkozy tried to reward with an official post in Monaco.
