Sarkozy charged with witness tampering in probe of alleged Libyan campaign financing

Sarkozy charged with witness tampering, fraud, and criminal conspiracy related to his 2007 presidential campaign.
Charges stem from allegations Sarkozy took illegal campaign funds from late Libyan leader Gaddafi.
Charges follow 2020 retraction of testimony by key witness Ziad Takieddine.
Sarkozy denies wrongdoing and intends to defend himself and establish truth.
Sarkozy already convicted in two other corruption cases, faces trial in 2025 on charges related to Libyan financing.
