French police investigating former president Nicolas Sarkozy on corruption allegations wasted little time in raiding his and wife Carla Bruni's homes and offices Tuesday, less than a month after his immunity against prosecution ended. The officers are "investigating claims that Sarkozy received cash from l'Oréal heiress Lilian Bettencourt in return for tax breaks," according to Paris-based journalist Peter Allen on Twitter. Allen continues: "Judge Jean-Michel Gentil believes Bettencourt illegally contributed 2 payments of 400,000 euros each to Sarkozy's 2007 election campaign."

He should be an American politician-they can get away with murder now-sans Fast and Furious
Far out!
I was really amazed to see this happening and being reported in mainstream TV news.
It fits into the puzzle. Hopefully more persons who misused their power will face justice now, too.
This shall indeed not be about revenge but about restoring trust into the executive as such...
Makes me sleeping better.
Not Mass Arrest, But It's something LOL. Thanks for the news
No not mass arrests, but there sure are a lot of arrests going on. Mostly in the banking sector.
