A law firm in which Mr Sarkozy owns shares was also searched, reports say.

The investigation is related to allegations that Mr Sarkozy's 2007 presidential election campaign received illegal donations from France's richest woman, Liliane Bettencourt.

5. And this is for mere financial corruption.

Did he lie to his people about bogus WMD to launch an unprovoked war of aggression and destroy a distant nation that constituted no threat?

Did he establish a new international network of torture centers?

Did he violate laws and his country's constitution to establish a total surveillance state?

Did he violate his country's laws on government records and disclosure?

Did he preside over a vast financial fraud on millions of people perpetrated by all of his country's major banks?

I guess he should have!

The bigger the crime, the greater the reward, right?

7. They're looking for money in paper envelopes from Ms. Bettencourt.

She is the richest woman in France. Her great-grandfather experimented with hair color and cosmetics and started L'Oreal, which is now a huge conglomerate.
