法國前總統尼古拉·薩科奇因涉嫌利用世界女首富心智糊涂的弱點謀取私利，目前正在接受調查。據NPR新聞的埃莉諾·比爾茲利報道，薩科齊涉嫌從歐萊雅集團女繼承人莉莉亞娜·貝當古那里收受非法競選捐款。
The long running scandal stems from the 2007 presidential race. Sarkozy is suspected of accepting cash _3_ envelope from the frail and aging Liliane Bettencourt. A French judge and two examining magistrates decided to formally charge Sarkozy after interrogating him for 12 hours on the matter last November. Under French law preliminary charges mean the investigating judge has reason to believe wrongdoing _4_ but allows more time to investigate. The charges may later be dropped or could lead to a trial.

Sarkozy has denied any wrongdoing.His lawyer says he will appeal the ruling. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
這個長時間存在的競選丑聞始于2007年的總統選舉。薩科齊涉嫌接受了年老體弱的莉莉亞娜·貝當古裝有現金的信封。去年11月，一名法國法官和兩名預審法官就這個問題詢問了薩科齊12個小時，之后三名法官決定正式對薩科齊提出指控。根據法國法律，初步指控意味著調查法官有理由相信嫌疑人有不當行為，只是允許更多時間進行調查。之后，指控可能被取消，也可能進行審判。但是指控對于這位58歲前總統的政治生涯將造成毀滅性的影響，據悉，薩科齊此前計劃參加2017年法國總統大選。薩科齊否認有任何不當行為。他的律師表示，他將對指控提出上訴。NPR新聞，莉莉亞娜·貝當古巴黎報道。
