拘束されて - Living, Loving, Thinking, Again

仏蘭西のニコラ・サルコジ前大統領*1が検察当局に拘束されているという話だが、大きな話題になっているとまではいえないようだ。まあ世界では何処でもさらに重要なことが起きているから、ということなのだろうか。

“French ex-President Sarkozy held over influence claims” http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28103223

曰く、

Mr Sarkozy was detained near Paris on Tuesday morning in an unprecedented step against a former president.
He is being questioned about whether he sought inside information from a judge concerning an investigation into campaign funding.
In another development, his lawyer, Thierry Herzog, has been charged as part of the same investigation.
Mr Sarkozy is hoping to challenge again for the presidency in 2017 and the inquiry is seen as a blow to his hopes of returning to office.
Investigators are trying to find out whether Mr Sarkozy, 59, who was president from 2007 to 2012, had promised a prestigious role in Monaco to a high-ranking judge, Gilbert Azibert, in exchange for information about an investigation into alleged illegal campaign funding.
They are looking into claims that Mr Sarkozy was warned his phone was being bugged as part of the funding probe.
Mr Azibert, one of the most senior judges at the court of appeal, was called in for questioning on Monday as was another judge, Patrick Sassoust.

上の”alleged illegal campaign funding”は、リビアのカダフィが2007年の大統領選挙資金を提供したのではないかという疑惑。
前大統領がお縄になるって、仏蘭西も韓国化しているのでは？　と一瞬思ったのだけれど、2011年にもジャック・シラクが（執行猶予付きではあるが）懲役刑の判決を受けていたのだった。
