Former French president denies accusation that role given to second wife Cécilia Attias was ‘fictitious’
Nicolas Sarkozy has been hit by claims his ex-wife was given a well-paid fictitious job as a part-time parliamentary assistant while he was in government.
Cécilia Attias, the former French president’s second wife, was reportedly employed as an assistant to the woman who stood in for Sarkozy as a centre-right MP in the national assembly when he was promoted to interior minister under president Jacques Chirac in 2002.
