French centre-right party UDI suspends support for Fillon campaign


PARIS (Reuters) - France's centre-right UDI party, which has about 30 MPs in the lower house of France's parliament, on Wednesday suspended its support for the presidential campaign of conservative Francois Fillon, the party president said.

The move follows news earlier on Wednesday that Fillon, a member of conservative party The Republicans, was to be put under formal investigation in an affair involving alleged misuse of taxpayer's money.
