Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, named a suspect late yesterday by judges probing claims he took advantage of billionaire Liliane Bettencourt’s mental frailty to access her money, rejected charges of any wrongdoing.
“We have nothing to hide,” Sarkozy lawyer Thierry Herzog said today on Europe 1 radio, adding that he would seek to have the investigation thrown out. “A judge can make a mistake. This judge has made a mistake.”
