法国前总统尼古拉·萨科奇因涉嫌利用世界女首富心智糊涂的弱点谋取私利，目前正在接受调查。据NPR新闻的埃莉诺·比尔兹利报道，萨科齐涉嫌从欧莱雅集团女继承人莉莉亚娜·贝当古那里收受非法竞选捐款。

这个长时间存在的竞选丑闻始于2007年的总统选举。萨科齐涉嫌接受了年老体弱的莉莉亚娜·贝当古装有现金的信封。去年11月，一名法国法官和两名预审法官就这个问题询问了萨科齐12个小时，之后三名法官决定正式对萨科齐提出指控。根据法国法律，初步指控意味着调查法官有理由相信嫌疑人有不当行为，只是允许更多时间进行调查。之后，指控可能被取消，也可能进行审判。但是指控对于这位58岁前总统的政治生涯将造成毁灭性的影响，据悉，萨科齐此前计划参加2017年法国总统大选。萨科齐否认有任何不当行为。他的律师表示，他将对指控提出上诉。NPR新闻，莉莉亚娜·贝当古巴黎报道。
