Former French minister and scandal-ridden tycoon Bernard Tapie, the former owner of Adidas, was attacked along with his wife during a night-time burglary of their home, police sources said Sunday. The couple were asleep when four people broke into their house in Combs-la-Ville near Paris around 00:30 AM (2230 GMT Saturday) on Sunday, beat them and tied them up before making off with their loot. Dominique Tapie was able to free herself and made her way to a neighbour's home from where she alerted police. Slightly injured, she was then taken to hospital. Tapie himself declined to be taken into medical care, the sources said.More Related News
