Will Carla Bruni soon be indicted by the courts? For the moment, Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife has been summoned as part of a legal case related to her husband, as reported by AFP. While the date of this famous summons has not been revealed, it could result in the singer being indicted. The former First Lady could also be placed under the status of assisted witness.
Specifically, Carla Bruni risks being prosecuted for receiving stolen witness tampering. But also criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing fraudulent trials in an organized gang. And with a view to corrupting Lebanese judicial personnel. The singer’s summons is part of a judicial investigation opened in 2021.
Carla Bruni soon to be indicted?
This legal procedure was initiated after the retraction of the intermediary Ziad Takieddine. The latter accused Carla Bruni’s husband of having financed his 2007 presidential campaign with Libyan funds. Currently, the justice system is investigating a dozen protagonists in this affair. The latter are suspected of having misled the French justice system in this case.
Suspected of having approved these maneuvers, Nicolas Sarkozy was indicted in October 2023. His lawyers then filed a request to have this measure annulled. For her part, Carla Bruni has already been interviewed twice by investigators from the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Financial and Tax Offenses (OCLCIFF).
Charges against singer reportedly strengthened by new evidence
The first hearing of Carla Bruni as a witness took place in June 2023. Subsequently, the singer was heard again in May 2024, but as a suspect. According to information released by The Parisianthe judge in charge of the case is said to have found evidence to strengthen the charge against the singer.
It is said to be a secret line used by the former paparazzi pope, Michèle “Mimi” Marchand. The latter is also implicated in this affair. According to the elements of the investigation, she sent messages to Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni on this phone. One of the messages in question would prove that the former presidential couple was informed of Michèle “Mimi” Marchand’s trip to Lebanon for the famous interview in which Ziad Takieddine retracted.
