French candidate Francois Fillon says to be charged over fake jobs

Paris: French presidential candidate Francois Fillon said Wednesday he will be charged over allegations he paid his wife and children for fake jobs but that he would not pull out of the campaign.

Fillon, a conservative, said he would meet investigating magistrates on March 15 but denied all the allegations against him and reiterated that his family had "assisted" him during his political career.
