PARIS (Reuters) - The fraud investigation into French presidential candidate Francois Fillon has been widened to include luxury suits he received as gifts, a judicial source said on Thursday.
The former prime minister had already been placed under formal investigation on Tuesday on suspicion of misusing public funds linked to salaries he paid his wife and children.
