Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been formally charged with corruption


The ex-president was taken in for questioning on Tuesday morning. He was detained at the police station in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, and later in the evening he was taken to Paris to talk with the judge.

Sarkozy is accused of giving a bribe, concealing the fact of violation of professional secrets and using his official position for personal gain. In addition, the charges on the same items and on the fact of violation of professional secrecy are brought against the former lawyer of the ex-president Thierry Herzog. Also, the general lawyer of the Court of Cassation Gerard Azibere is also accused of passive “trading in influence” —the receipt of illegal benefits at the expense of someone else’s official position — and concealing the fact of violation of professional secrecy.

According to investigators, Sarkozy tried to obtain protected professional secret information through his lawyer Thierry Herzog during the hearings on the “case of Betancourt” about the illegal financing of his election campaign. For his part, the ex-president promised lawyer Gerard Azyber help in obtaining a judicial post in Monaco.

The investigating authorities became interested in Sarkozy in 2007, but until the 2012, he was immune.

        laughing You don’t worry about the macaque. You and WE all have to ask ourselves one simple question: “Is this possible with us?” I think not. Here one Taburetkin was chased by Tudy-syuds for a whole year, until they were amnestied. And then a whole ex -Prezik is imprisoned for corruption.
        A distinctive feature is that they have everything equal before the law. We all, before the law, are responsible only to us - commoners. what wassat

      Betrayal he began with Jacques Chirac, so this is a traitor proffy with experience.
      I hope the people still remember him, especially since Jacques Chirac was very kind to the Russian Federation, this Sarko betrayed him and then he licked the 5th point of the United States and dragged France into NATO.

    The campaign for a contract with the Mistrals is avenged and this is an order from the USA. There were many points that if you change France to the money you really get, plus there are moments with the transfer of characteristics and they are already transferred, that is, if you refuse to transfer the Mistrals, you need to pay and there’s nothing good we have what we need and are ready to build them ourselves! Now the peasant is being suppressed for everyone for the elections, in fact for a contract with Russia.

        BUT when Gaddafi there was peace, there was a country where at the birth of a child 15 pieces of greenery were paid, the standard of living was such that it is not everywhere in the EU now. It’s just that he was the son of his civilization Bedouins, well, everything is like that, of course he had a sin in his youth but he’s a country he has led to prosperity. What terror we have now is stupid and there is no country anymore, when Sarkozy was dealing with him, he was essentially a different person and he came to RUSSIA to sign contracts so that now it was bad! Mistral is the reason, not Gaddafi.

    It’s not enough for him to Gaddafi, it’s how you have to be a freak to take money from a person, and then bomb him, Kadafi is good to him, and Sarkozy is good for him. If Gaddafi didn’t like why, then he took money

      Last year I was in Egypt and talked with a guide about the attitude of people towards Gaddafi. So he told me that even after the death of Gaddafi, a very respected person and his nickname "Lion of the Desert" is used only in a respectful sense, ..... and Sarkozy - yes, it's not a fish, not meat, just trying to be a weather vane, but to see brains enough.

    What a setup from the "partners". All our ears were buzzing with the fact that they also have corruption there, that it is impossible to defeat it (in the sense that it is not worth trying). And then a whole b. President ... and into custody ...

    It is necessary to poke such examples under the nose with all sorts of Pants-Bulk, who shout that we have wildness and corruption. We have the chairman of the executive committee removed two hogs from the farm, and they have gang schemes and disassemblies at the level of states and corporations. Who cares, google how the M16 is unfinished in the troops shoved, because everything had already been agreed and paid, as the F22 Raptor had been doing and remodeling for 20 years, and for all the alterations of the budget money surcharges, how about a month ago officials in Venice were imprisoned for stealing from funds intended to protect the city from flooding .... etc. d.

Do you really think that such a case was opened by an ordinary scout as soon as the facts turned up on his arm and he will conduct it along with the cases of robbing a stall and harassing citizen N to citizen D? As I wrote above, these are gang fights at the state level, respectively, the police are bought and just do the dirty work.
