A separate investigation is under way into allegations that 11 French
engineers died in a Karachi bombing carried out by Pakistani agents angry
after bribes from the sale were cut off. Mr Sarkozy has always denied any
wrongdoing.
The most recent corruption allegation to be levelled against him is that he
received 50 million euros of illegal campaign contributions from the late
Muammar Gaddafi.
Last month, investigative news website Mediapart published what it said was a
copy of a document signed by Moussa Koussa, Col Gaddafi’s intelligence chief
in 2006 outlining the alleged funding deal. Mr Sarkozy has dismissed it as a
forgery.
Saif-Al Islam Gaddafi, Gaddafi’s son and former heir, last year unambiguously
claimed that Libya had funded Mr Sarkozy’s election.
Finally, he could be questioned over why his former chef de cabinet signed a
lucrative contract with an opinion poll company run by a close aide of the
president without going through the normal public tender procedures.
