The trial of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy centers on allegations that he received millions of euros in illegal campaign financing from the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The court will hear allegations that the Libyan government funded Sarkozy's election campaign in exchange for diplomatic, legal and business favours, leading to serious charges against him.
If convicted, Sarkozy could face up to 10 years in prison, highlighting the severity of the misconduct in relation to his campaign financing and the implications it bears for political integrity.
In 2014, Gaddafi's son claimed that Sarkozy had taken campaign funding from Libya and insisted that he should return the money to the Libyan people.
