Former French minister and scandal-ridden tycoon Bernard Tapie, once the owner of Adidas, was attacked along with his wife during a midnight burglary of their home, police said Sunday.
The couple were asleep when four men broke into the house in Combs-la-Ville near Paris around 00:30 AM Sunday (2230 GMT Saturday), beat them and tied them up with electrical cords before making off with their loot.
Dominique Tapie managed to free herself and made her way to a neighbour s home, from where she called the police. Slightly injured from several blows to the face, she was taken to hospital for a check-up.
