FRANCE-POLITICS-CORRUPTION-SARKOZY
(FILES) - A picture taken on May 3, 2012 in Paris, shows France's incumbent president and Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) party candidate for the 2012 presidential election, Nicolas Sarkozy taking part in the TV show "Le grand journal", three days before the second round of the French election. Sarkozy has been charged with corruption and influence peddling, French prosecutors said on July 2, 2014, a dramatic move in a criminal probe that could wreck his hopes of a political comeback. The decision came after Sarkozy was questioned for 15 hours, marking the first time a French ex-head of state had been taken into custody in a criminal investigation. AFP PHOTO KENZO TRIBOUILLARD
