France - Judge threat probed

PARIS prosecutors launched an anti-terrorism probe on Thursday into death threats against a judge who put ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy under formal investigation in a party funding case, and into threats against journalists.

Investigating magistrate Jean-Michel Gentil's decision about Sarkozy last Thursday raised hackles on the political right. A letter addressed to Gentil containing a large-calibre blank cartridge and a threat to "get you personally" arrived at the prosecutor's office in Bordeaux on Wednesday.

Sarkozy has rejected as unfounded the basis of the probe - that he exploited the mental frailty of France's richest woman to raise election funds.
