France includes two of Fillon’s children in embezzlement probe

‘Investigators in France have decided to extend their probe into allegations of illegal payment to family members by presidential candidate Francois Fillon to include two of his children.
Sources close to the inquiry said Thursday that the investigation was being widened to look if Marie and Charles Fillon had carried out work for their father in return for large sums of money.
Fillon, the candidate for French conservatives in the presidential election on April 23 and May 7, was dealt a major blow on January 25, when satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaine published information revealing that he had paid his wife Penelope 500,000 euros (USD 540,250) for work for him that she did not appear to have done.’
