Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is under investigation3 for allegedly exploiting the impaired4 state of the world's richest woman. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports Sarkozy _2_ of taking illegal campaign contributions from L'Oreal heiress, Liliane Bettencourt.
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。
The long running scandal stems from the 2007 presidential race. Sarkozy is suspected of accepting cash _3_ envelope from the frail5 and aging Liliane Bettencourt. A French judge and two examining magistrates6 decided7 to formally charge Sarkozy after interrogating8 him for 12 hours on the matter last November. Under French law preliminary charges mean the investigating judge has reason to believe wrongdoing _4_ but allows more time to investigate. The charges may later be dropped or could lead to a trial. But the charges are politically devastating9 to the 58-year-old former president, who's believed to _5_ a combat for the 2017 French presidential race. Sarkozy has denied any wrongdoing.His lawyer says he will appeal the ruling. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
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。
