Sarkozy Trial Enters Final Phase with Prosecution's Closing Arguments

Prosecutors to present evidence of alleged Libyan financing of Sarkozy's 2007 campaign, while the former president maintains his innocence.

The trial of Nicolas Sarkozy over alleged illegal Libyan financing for his 2007 presidential campaign has reached its final phase.
The Parquet National Financier will deliver its closing arguments from March 25 to March 27, detailing accusations of a 2005 corruption pact with Muammar Gaddafi.
Prosecutors have presented evidence, including financial records and testimonies, suggesting Sarkozy's associates negotiated financial arrangements with Libyan officials.
Sarkozy has vehemently denied the charges, calling the trial politically motivated and asserting a lack of concrete evidence against him.
The case, based on over a decade of investigations, highlights broader concerns about foreign influence and vulnerabilities in political campaign financing.
