????國(guó)際貨幣基金組織（IMF）總裁克里斯蒂娜?拉加德因其2008年的相關(guān)行為遭到了法國(guó)法院的正式調(diào)查,。

????在IMF上一任總裁,、法國(guó)人多米尼克?斯特勞斯-卡恩遭到性侵酒店女傭的指控后,，拉加德接掌了IMF。法院懷疑拉加德在任法國(guó)財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)期間涉嫌瀆職（當(dāng)時(shí)薩科齊政府執(zhí)政）,。

????具體而言,，法院開(kāi)展調(diào)查的原因在于，她授權(quán)付給商人貝爾納德?塔皮耶4億歐元賠償,，就塔皮耶起訴里昂信貸銀行（Crédit Lyonnais）這一糾纏多年的官司達(dá)成和解,。里昂信貸銀行是一家法國(guó)國(guó)有銀行，因大肆放貸于上世紀(jì)90年代初破產(chǎn),。

????塔皮耶同時(shí)也是前任社會(huì)黨部長(zhǎng),，在2007年法國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選中曾高調(diào)支持右傾的薩科齊。2008年,，也就是塔皮耶向薩科齊提供支持不到一年后,，他的官司得到了和解,。

????拉加德否認(rèn)了任何與瀆職有關(guān)的質(zhì)疑。

????法新社（AFP）援引她的話稱：“我已讓我的律師對(duì)法院這一決定提起上訴,，我認(rèn)為這一指控是完全沒(méi)有依據(jù)的,。”

????在法國(guó)司法界,，遭到正式調(diào)查意味著法院認(rèn)為犯罪行為已發(fā)生,。《金融時(shí)報(bào)》（Financial Times）援引拉加德發(fā)言人的話稱,，這一未有定論的罪行最高量刑是一年期監(jiān)禁,。但是僅開(kāi)展調(diào)查并不意味著被調(diào)查對(duì)象將受到指控。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde has been placed under formal investigation by a French court for her role in dating back to 2008.

????Lagarde, who took over from fellow-Frenchman Dominique Strauss-Kahn at the IMF after the latter was embroiled in allegations of sexually assaulting a hotel maid, is suspected by the court of “negligence” while serving as Finance Minister under former President Nicolas Sarkozy.

????Specifically, the court’s concerns refer to the €400 million payment that she approved to businessman Bernard Tapie to settle a long-running litigation against Crédit Lyonnais, a state-owned bank that collapsed in the early 1990s after a reckless lending spree.

????The settlement, in 2008, followed less than a year after Tapie, a former Socialist minister, gave high-profile support to the center-right campaign of Sarkozy in the 2007 presidential elections.

????Lagarde denies any suggestion of having acted improperly.

????“I have instructed my lawyer to appeal this decision which I consider totally without merit,” AFP quoted her as saying.

????In the French judicial system, being placed under formal investigation reflects the court’s belief that a crime has been committed. The Financial Times cited Lagarde’s spokesman as saying that the maximum penalty for the crime in question would be a year in prison. But merely placing someone under investigation doesn’t automatically mean they will be charged.
