Police raided the Paris home of French rightwing presidential candidate Francois Fillon on Thursday March 02,2017 over an alleged fake job scandal as a senior party colleague warned him he risked dragging his party "into an abyss".
Francois Fillon revealed Wednesday he is set to be charged over allegations he paid his wife and children hundreds of thousands of euros for fake parliamentary jobs, but he has vowed to continue his bid for power.
After searches at his parliamentary office last month, police raided his central Paris home Thursday as he visited winegrowers on the campaign trial in southern France.

New polls suggest Fillon is in third place and would win 19-20 percent in the first round of the election on April 23, behind centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
