Michel Crépu, former editor of La Revue des Deux Mondes leaves the offices of the investigators. The newspaper also alleged that in 2012 and 2013, Penelope Fillon was paid 5,000 euros a month at La Revue des Deux Mondes, owned by Marc Ladreit de Lacharriere, 76. Francois Fillon, the rightwing presidential candidate, has seen a drop in popularity ratings following the revelations. La Revue des Deux Mondes ("The Review of the Two Worlds") traces its roots to the French literary scene of the early 19th century. The magazine today is focussed on politics and literary and, coincidentally, devoted its front page this month to Fillon.
