An investigation has begun into whether Nicolas Sarkozy (former President of France) received illegal funds from Libya during Muammar Gaddafi's regime. Sarkozy is facing multiple different claims related to this, but the only "evidence" so far seems to be allegations by Ziad Takieddine, a Lebanese businessman questioned by officials in December. Charges against Sarkozy have already been filed in relation to allegations of illegal donations from the richest woman in France.
My main interest in this issue is not about the fact that Sarkozy may have, and probably did (multiple allegations mean something), have some illegal funding. It happens, and I don't particularly have an issue with it right now. My concern is with the fact that money came from Libya. Even though the illegal funds have not been proven, please assume that they have. France has been working with Libya recently, but what sort of agreement did Sarkozy have to make to get this money from Libya? It was certainly not because they were such good friends.
