July 1st, 2010

FILE - This April 18, 2005 file photo shows L'Oreal's heiress Liliane Bettencourt at the Elysee Palace in Paris. The butler did it. Ahead of confidential talks between France's richest woman and her financial adviser, someone slipped a dictaphone into the room. It was the butler — and his secret recordings may force the delay of a high-profile trial pitting L'Oreal's billionaire heiress Liliane Bettencourt against her only daughter. (AP Photo/Remy de la Mauviniere, File)AP - French judges are postponing the highly awaited trial involving France’s richest woman because of surprising new evidence in the case of whether she fell prey to a schemer when she gave him euro1 billion ($1.2 billion) in gifts.
