France’s ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy was back in court Monday for a retrial on charges he sought Libyan financing for his 2007 election, in a case that last year saw him go to prison.
Sarkozy, who denies wrongdoing, is appealing a lower court ruling last year that found him guilty of trying to acquire funding from Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya for the campaign that saw him elected.
He became the first modern-day French head of state to go to prison, serving 20 days in jail before he was released pending the appeal.
