France's Sarkozy says justice twisted by politics in corruption probe
Source: Reuters.
(Reuters) - Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Wednesday the legal system was being used for political means after he was put under formal investigation on suspicions of using his influence to gain details of a probe into his 2007 election campaign.
The step, which often but not always leads to trial, is a major setback to Sarkozy's hopes of a comeback after his 2012 defeat by Socialist rival Francois Hollande.
The conservative politician denies wrongdoing in a string of investigations where his direct or indirect implication has cast doubt on his viability as a candidate in the 2017 elections.
"I say to all those who are listening or watching that I have never betrayed them and have never committed an act against the Republic's principles and the rule of law," Sarkozy according to extracts of his first interview since losing the 2012 election to be aired on Europe 1 radio later on Wednesday.
