薩科齊涉嫌腐敗被移送庭審
Nicolas Sarkozy’s legal woes deepened on Thursday after judges decided to send the former French president for trial over allegations of corruption and influence peddling.
尼古拉?薩科齊(Nicolas Sarkozy)週四陷入更深的法律困境,原因是法官決定把這位法國前總統移送法庭審理,罪名是腐敗和以權謀私。The decision comes a week after the former leader spent two days in custody and was placed under formal investigation in a separate probe into alleged illicit Libyan campaign financing during his 2007 presidential campaign. The latest development was first reported by Le Monde and confirmed by a judicial source close to the case.
一週前,這位前領導人被拘留兩天,並受到有關其涉嫌在2007年總統競選期間接受利比亞非法競選資金的正式調查。這一最新進展由《世界報》(Le Monde)最先報道,並得到接近該案的一名司法界消息人士的證實。Mr Sarkozy, who denies the charges, is appealing against the ruling, Reuters reported, citing his lawyers. A spokeswoman for Mr Sarkozy did not return calls seeking comment.
路透社援引薩科齊律師的話報道稱,薩科齊否認相關指控,正對該裁決提起上訴。薩科齊的一名女發言人並未回覆記者的置評請求。
If the judicial ruling is upheld by an appeal court, the trial would be the second that Mr Sarkozy would face as a prime suspect since retiring from politics in 2016. He is separately scheduled to appear in court over charges of fraud and false accounting during his unsuccessful 2012 re-election campaign. Mr Sarkozy denies wrongdoing.
如果上訴法院維持這項司法裁決,這將是薩科齊自2016年退出政壇以來第二次作為主要嫌疑人接受審判。另外,他還將因為涉嫌在2012年最終落敗的連任競選時欺詐和偽造賬目而出庭受審。薩科齊否認有不當行為。
