It will be for this week, even if the public prosecutor of Nanterre had not yet communicated officially date last night. The heir of l ' Oréal, Lilianne Bettencourt, and Eric Woerth, Minister of labour, will be heard these days by the financial brigade. For the latter, it would be Tuesday, either in its housing service Paris, either in his home town of Chantilly, according to a near record source, quoted by AFP. The Minister of labour, which ended Thursday night its work with the commission for Social Affairs of the Assembly, wants if quickly explain to the police. So, hopefully to escape before the re-entry of September, in this case in which it is trapped since mid-June.
Five investigations

In total, five investigations had been opened on the various aspects of the case of Bettencourt, which was started by a disagreement between the billionaire and daughter - to the subject of the influence of the photographer François - Marie Banier - family, and little by little muée in case political with suspicion of conflict of interest and of illegal political financing. According to the Prosecutor of Nanterre, Eric Woerth will be questioned, as his wife, Florence, it was last Wednesday, the inquiry on the contents of pirated recordings at the home of Liliane Bettencourt. Will therefore be specifically discussed the suspicion of conflict of interest and tax evasion, but not on a possible political funding illegal campaign of Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007.
This last hypothesis was not included in the eavesdropping; It was advanced by the ex-comptable of the billionaire, Claire Thibout, reaffirmed last week have been ordered to give an envelope of 50,000 euros to Liliane Bettencourt, Patrice de Maistre wealth manager, on the eve of a meeting with Eric Woerth, then Treasurer of the UMP. Yesterday, counsel for Patrice de Maistre confirmed the holding of the meeting between the two men, January 19, 2007, but refuted any cash donation. "It is completely false," assured MePascal Wilhelm. Both sides écharpent for several weeks on questions of dates. This aspect of the case may seem confusing, but it is not harmless, because the existence of such illegal funding would directly challenge the head of State. Hence the bitterness of the exchanges.
"All this is fantasy," said Patrice de Maistre. In a long interview in the "Sunday Journal", wealth manager seeks to defend themselves and, in so doing, to prepare the ground before the hearings of Liliane Bettencourt and Eric Woerth. It provides do not appear on the list of 3,000 escaped tax in Switzerland, the Minister is was before last summer, and says that Eric Woerth, "he has not asked to hire" his wife, but to "see with the evolution of his career. The Committee also regrets that the case appears as "a bad play, a kind of"Dallas on Seine". Stopped Saturday by journalists as he walking in Chantilly, Eric Woerth tried to make a good figure dropping, ironically: "I am very sensitive to your a little systematic idea of ask me how I'm going."
