☆ French Judges File Charges Against Ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy in a Case Linked to Libya

He is charged with illegal campaign financing, embezzling, passive corruption and related counts. Investigators examined claims that Gadhafi’s government secretly gave Sarkozy 50 million euros for his winning 2007 campaign. The sum would be more than double the legal campaign funding limit at the time and would violate French rules against foreign campaign financing. After becoming president in 2007, Sarkozy welcomed Gadhafi to France with high honors later that year. In an unrelated case, Sarkozy was sentenced to a year of house arrest for illegal campaign financing of his unsuccessful 2012 reelection bid.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrives for his appeal trial on charges of corruption and influence peddling, at Paris courthouse, France, December 5, 2022. REUTERS/Pascal Rossignol/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsPARIS, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was placed under formal investigation on Friday for alleged witness tampering and fraud, as part of a probe into the funding of his successful 2007 election campaign, local media reported. Lawyers for Sarkozy could not be immediately reached for comment on the reports, which cited judicial sources. Sarkozy is accused of "interfering with a witness" and "criminal association with a view to committing fraud", media said. Sarkozy, who denies any wrongdoing, is suspected of complicity in moves to falsely exonerate him in the Libyan case, which will go to trial in early 2025.
