Former President Nicolas Sarkozy is currently on trial in Paris, accused of receiving illegal financing from the Libyan government during his 2007 campaign, marking a significant legal threat.
The Libya case against Sarkozy is extensive and serious, alleging that his campaign accepted considerable funds from Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi, which he has denied.
Having exhausted his final appeal in another corruption case, Sarkozy faces up to ten years in prison if found guilty in this ongoing trial.
This trial, lasting three months, adds to Sarkozy's legal troubles, making him the first former French president sentenced to actual detention.
