Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France, faces trial alongside 12 others in Paris accused of engaging in a ‘corruption pact’ with former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi during the 2007 presidential campaign. The trial, beginning January 6, 2024, aims to uncover claims that Libya funded Sarkozy’s campaign with €50 million. The prosecution will present evidence from various testimonies and documents, while Sarkozy insists the allegations are fabricated and politically motivated, denying any wrongdoing.
