Trial for illegal campaign financing from Lybia - Paris RL

Claude Gueant, Eric Woerth arrive for the last day of Sarkozy and others 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. Sarkozy, president from 2007-2012 and who denies the charges, was already convicted and jailed for one year in a separate influence-peddling case, a sentence he is currently serving with an electronic tag rather than in prison.Photo by Raphael Lafargue/ABACAPRESS.COM
