French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy has been placed under formal investigation¹ over claims his 2007 election campaign received illegal donations from France's richest woman.

Mr Sarkozy has dismissed as mere gossip claims that he took envelopes stuffed with cash.

Mr Sarkozy is accused of accepting thousands of euros from L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, now aged³ 90.

The former leader denies taking financial advantage of Mrs Bettencourt.

His lawyer said he would file an appeal against the "incoherent（语无伦次的） and unfair decision", AFP news agency reports.

Magistrate⁴ Jean-Michel Gentil, who leads the inquiry⁵, unexpectedly summoned Mr Sarkozy for a face-to-face encounter with Mrs Bettencourt's butler, Pascal Bonnefoy, in the city of Bordeaux.

The judge wanted to determine how often the politician had met Mrs Bettencourt in 2007.

While Mr Sarkozy has maintained he only saw her once during that year, the butler gave a different account on Thursday, the BBC's Christian⁶ Fraser, in Paris, reports.

Following the hearing, prosecutors⁷ said the ex-president had been placed under formal investigation "for taking advantage of a vulnerable person during 2007 to the detriment⁸ of Liliane Bettencourt".

Under French law the court's decision falls short of a formal charge, our correspondent says.

Investigators⁹ will press ahead with the enquiry before deciding whether he should face a trial.
