Sarkozy denies campaign cash claims
Updated on 06 July 2010
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has denied allegations that his 2007 presidential campaign received 150,000 euros (£124,000) in secret cash donations from France's richest woman.
For weeks, Sarkozy and his government have defended Labour Minister Eric Woerth, who has been linked to suggestions of tax evasion involving L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt.
The scandal - which has already destabilised Mr Sarkozy's conservative government - took a new twist on Tuesday.
