Nicolas Sarkozy is said to be in a 'state of incomprehension' today after being accused of accepting cash-stuffed envelopes from the richest woman in the world.
The former French president has been charged with taking financial advantage of frail l'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, 90.
With his political career in ruins, Mr Sarkozy now faces a criminal trial and the possibility of going to prison.

Quote:The principal allegation against Mr Sarkozy is that he took advantage of the frail state of the aged widow to take money from her.
Claire Thibout, Mrs Bettencourt’s former accountant, told police in 2010 that she had handed cash-filled envelopes to Bettencourt's financial manager, Patrice de Maistre, who subsequently passed them on to Mr Sarkozy's campaign treasurer, Eric Woerth.
Mr Sarkozy is also said to have collected money in person.
While Mr Sarkozy was being charged with the offences in Bordeaux, his wife Carla Bruni was in Berlin where she was performing at the Echo music awards.
She is about to make a return to modelling starring in a campaign for Italian fashion house Bulgari. Top fashion photographer Terry Richardson reportedly photographed Bruni in Rome for the campaign this week.
Ms Bruni has also recently completed a new album called Little French Songs in which she allegedly mocks current French Prime Minister Francois Hollande by referring to him as a penguin.
Mr Sarkozy lost his immunity from prosecution when he lost the 2012 presidential election to his Socialist rival Francois Hollande.
