    Police Arrest Ex-President of France on Claims of Illegal Campaign Funding from Libya

    Busted and disgusted.....Sarkozy set out by an informer who was the bag-man.





    On Tuesday, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was detained by police investigating claims that he received 50 million euros (roughly $70 million) from the late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi to help his successful 2007 presidential campaign.


    At the time, French law dictated that presidential candidates could only spend about 21 million euros in total for campaigning, and Sarkozy reported spending just under the limit.



    Moreover, French law also prohibited foreign states or legal entities from making direct or indirect donations to candidates for any political office and required campaigns to maintain complete records of their sources for all donations.


    As a result, in 2017, Sarkozy was charged with a entirely separate violation of campaign finance laws wherein he allegedly used an external public relations firm to conceal the receipt of tens of millions of euros on behalf of his 2012 presidential campaign. According to the New York Post:


    According to the Associated Press, Sarkozy was last being held at a police station in Nanterre, which is located to the northwest of Paris. Under French law, he can be detained for up to 48 hours......snip~

    Yep took Gadhafi's money then turned around and made sure Gadhafi was killed, straight out of the Clinton handbook, huh?
