Prosecutor wants Sarkozy trial over campaign funds - source
PARIS (Reuters) - Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy should face trial over alleged funding irregularities in his failed 2012 re-election campaign, the Paris state prosecutor has recommended, according to a judicial source. If the investigating magistrate in charge of the case agrees with the prosecutor's view, a trial could complicate Sarkozy's bid for re-election in next year's presidential contest. Sarkozy was put under formal investigation with regard to the scandal in February this year. (Reporting by Chine Labbe; Writing by Andrew Callus; Editing by Brian Love)
