corruption enquiries
It is latest corruption scandal for the 59-year-old former French

of a number of charges related to accepting millions in illegal cash
from benefactors.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was recorded offering to
meetPrince Albert of Monaco to 'set up' a plum job for a judge, it was
today claimed. In telephone intercepts which allegedly expose the
politician as a corrupt liar, the 59-year-old is heard speaking to his
lawyer, Thierry Herzog. He is reportedly recorded telling him he will
'set up' Judge Gilbert Azibert with a well-paid job in Monaco in
return for information about one of six corruption enquiries.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy (left, with wife, Carla Bruni)
was recorded offering to meet Prince Albert of Monaco (right, with
wife Princess Charlene) to 'set up' a plum job for a judge, it was
today claimed.

Referring to Prince Albert II, the head of the tax haven on the French
Riviera, he says: 'Call him today and tell him I will sort it out. I
am going to Monaco and I will see the Prince.'

It is the latest scandal for Mr Sarkozy who was arrested and charged
with a number of corruption allegations on July 1.

Judge: In telephone intercepts, the politician was reportedly heard
saying he would 'set up' Judge Gilbert Azibert (above) with a
well-paid job in Monaco.

He faces up to 10 years inprison if convicted of the charges, which
are related to accepting millions in illegal cash from benefactors,
including the late Colonel Gaddafi.

Speaking yesterday, Mr Sarkozy insisted he was the victim of a
'grotesque' set-up, saying that left-wing judges are trying to destroy
his career.

But today, Le Monde newspaper published extracts from telephone calls
in which the politician reportedly tells Mr Herzog - who has also been
charged with corruption - he will help out Judge Azibert in return for
the information.

Theconversations apparently took place in February on a mobile phone
Mr Sarkozy bought using a false name because he knew his calls were
being tapped.

Judge Azibert has already been charged with illegally passing on
information in relation to an enquiry into money being received by
billionaire L'Oreal heiress, Liliane Bettencourt.

In another partof the phone tapes, Mr Sarkozy is also heard saying he
will meet with Michel Roger, Monaco's chief of government.

Mr Sarkozy laterdiscovered that his phone was being bugged, and so did
not end up sorting out the job for the judge, it was reported.

Mr Herzog, meanwhile, can be heard telling the politician that he has
'access to unpublished information' on the so-called Bettencourt
Affair, and had 'worked really hard' to get it.

The home Mr Sarkozy shares with his third wife, the former model Carla
Bruni, was raided by anti-corruption police within a few weeks of him
losing the presidential election in 2012.

Scandal: It is the latest scandal for Mr Sarkozy who was arrested and
charged with a number of corruption allegations on July 1. Above, the

The politican, who was immune from prosecution while in office,
insists that he is innocent of any wrong-doing.

He has not yet responded to the phone leaks published in Le Monde.

Until this weekend, Mr Sarkozy was still being spoken of as a possible
presidential candidate in 2017.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”
