Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy and several ex-ministers have been accused of seeking illegal campaign financing from the late Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi. These allegations have resurfaced after years of investigation and speculation. The claims suggest that Sarkozy’s 2007 presidential campaign received millions of euros from Gaddafi, in violation of French electoral laws.
The accusations stem from statements made by Ziad Takieddine, a French-Lebanese businessman who claimed to have personally delivered cash from Gaddafi to Sarkozy’s chief of staff, Claude Guéant, and Sarkozy’s former campaign treasurer, Éric Woerth. Takieddine has provided documents and testimonies to support his claims.
The allegations have serious implications for Sarkozy, who has long denied any wrongdoing. If proven, these charges could further damage his already tarnished political reputation. Sarkozy currently faces a separate trial for corruption and influence peddling. The accusations of illegal campaign financing from a dictator add another layer of controversy to his legal battles.
