                  Carla Bruni arrives with Nicolas Sarkozy at Sarkosy’s Trial for illegal campaign financing from Lybia. The last day of his trial on charges of illegal campaign financing from Libya for his successful 2007 presidential bid, at the Tribunal de Paris courthouse in Paris, on April 8, 2025. French prosecutors requested on March 27, 2025, a seven-year prison sentence for former president Nicolas Sarkozy in his trial on charges of accepting illegal campaign financing in an alleged pact with late Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
