faced with murdering Edouard Stern

THE trial of an vice-girl charged with killing a multimillionaire banker continues to be delayed amid fears that evidence could affect in france they elections, a whole new book claims. Edouard Stern, 50, was discovered dead wearing a latex catsuit after having a sadomasochistic sex session at his penthouse apart-ment in Geneva two-and-a-half in years past. His lover Cecile Brossard, once perhaps the giant prostitution ring run by jailed British madam Margaret MacDonald, later admitted to police that she had shot Stern dead following a furious row. However a magazine claims her trial has been delayed until autumn pick up over concerns that evidence in regards to the banker's links with senior politicians could derail french presidential race. Among those with links to Stern, the book claims, is Nicolas Sarkozy, the inner Minister that's anticipated to run for the presidency if the contest is locked in April. Inside the book, Death Of your Banker: The lining Story, journalists Valerie Duby and Alain Jourdan say that documents inside possession of the Swiss court authorities show Stern would have been a generous donor to Sarkozy's election campaigns. An old French model should be to come in a Geneva court today faced with murdering Edouard Stern, a powerful French banker, during a violent bondage game that she claims got out of hand.  The confession yesterday by Cecile Brossard, 36, daughter of the Paris advertising executive, that she shot dead M Stern, 50, as part of his bedroom at his Geneva flat has been greeted with relief in the discreet realm of Swiss finance. The discovery two weeks ago of M Stern's body, in the head-to-toe latex catsuit, had prompted speculation with regards to a professional hit by rivals or gangsters. Judge Michel-Alexandre Graber should be to ask a legal court to help keep its details secret while he continues his investigation into Mme Brossard's motive. M Stern, one of France's richest men, died of four bullet wounds, including two on the head. He was bound in a harness that bore Mme Brossard's fingerprints, police said. "At this stage from the investigation, I am not ruling the theory that the crime was accomplished on someone's orders," the judge said yesterday. "The crime has been committed for financial or personal reasons. There was a dispute within the sum of One dollar million."  Mme Brossard, who lived with a Swiss practitioner of alternative medicine in a very luxurious lakeside apartment building, used the name "Alice" when playing her role being a sado-masochistic dominatrix.  French police reported that she had worked inside 1990s as the call girls utilised by Margaret Macdonald, the "English Madam", who was simply sentenced to four years' jail in Paris last year .
