Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is once again in court, facing charges of illegal campaign financing linked to alleged support from Muammar Gaddafi’s regime during the 2007 elections. Alongside Sarkozy, 12 co-defendants, including former ministers, are implicated in the case. Sarkozy, who denies the accusations, could face a decade in prison if convicted. The trial begins in Paris and is expected to conclude in April. This marks the fifth legal challenge for Sarkozy since leaving office in 2012, adding to his complex legal history due to prior corruption cases.
