Police probe theft of ‘highly intimate’ Carla Bruni photos

POLICE in France have launched a probe after burglars reportedly stole more than 100 “highly intimate” photos and film footage of the country’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy from a Paris apartment.

The images, shot during the model-turned-singer’s romance with philosopher Raphael Enthoven, were taken during a raid on a property on the city’s Left Bank on Sunday night.

The apartment belongs to Enthoven’s brother, Julien, who is reported to have been entrusted with the photos to avoid any potential embarrassment to Bruni-Sarkozy or her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
