| The 10-year-old son of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has received death threats, the interior minister said Tuesday. Michele Alliot-Marie confirmed French media reports that Louis Sarkozy, the youngest of the French leader’s three sons, received several threatening phone calls on a cell phone registered to his mother, former first lady Cecilia Sarkozy. “It’s absolutely shocking and revolting,” Alliot-Marie told Europe-1 radio. “There are people who are unbalanced, who think they’re clever, who want to blackmail (people) and use these kinds of methods.” A report on the Web site of newsweekly Le Point said two men, aged 21 and 22, would be tried next month for allegedly having placed the calls. Alliot-Marie did not refer to those or other details in the Le Point report, and they could not immediately be confirmed. Le Point’s Web site said one of the suspects, an employee of French cell phone operator Orange, obtained in August a copy of the company’s celebrity client list, which gave Cecilia Sarkozy’s number. He passed the number on to a friend, a firefighter, who spoke to Louis Sarkozy on several occasions, the report said. |
