Sarkozy linked to L'Oreal cash scandal...

President, Mr Nicolas Sarkozy, was directly linked for the first time to L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt's murky finances on Tuesday, with claims his presidential campaign received 150,000 euros in cash.
An aide to Mr Sarkozy dismissed the latest reports as "totally false", as the French government was drawn deeper into a series of scandals that had already embroiled his labour minister and seen two other ministers resign.

An accountant, identified by the investigative website Mediapart as Claire T, said Eric Woerth, a Sarkozy ally and treasurer of his UMP party, received the donation in March 2007, ahead of Sarkozy's election victory in May. More...
