Sarkozy forced to defend use of 25 bodyguards...

Nicolas Sarkozy, the former French president, has been forced to explain why he needs 25 bodyguards - when they cannot even prevent a break-in at his holiday retreat.

Mr Sarkozy, who lost to François Hollande last year after five years in office, has spent most of the summer at his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's Riviera retreat in Cap Nègre.

In an article in Le Parisien entitled: "The highly protected holidays of Nicolas Sarkozy", the capital's newspaper reported that 10 agents of the elite police protection service of high-profile public figures, SPHP, are employed to keep the ex-president safe.

A further five teams of three specially designated bodyguards from the CRS anti-riot force take turn to watch over Mr Sarkozy round the clock, seven days a week.

 Despite that high level of protection, last week a German man - already known to security services - managed to break into the house where the former French first couple were staying. Full story...
