Mr Fillon is being investigated on account of the alleged fake job given to his wife, who is said to be equally facing an investigation.
Th Conservative candidate was seen as the favourite to win the election however, the emergence of the job scandal, has dropped his poll rating. Mr Fillon has been asked to step down but he has refused vowing to continue with his presidential campaign.
The investigators are trying to find links to confirm if Mr Fillon's wife, Penelope, actually worked before being paid.
He is expected to appear in court over the case on 15 March, just two days before the deadline for submission of final application by candidates.
