Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been charged over allegedly taking 20 million Euro from deceased Muammar Gaddafi in order to fund his 2007 election campaign, according to the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office .
The move made Sarkozy, who ruled from 2007 to 2012 and is still an influential behind-the-scenes player on the political right, the target of an inquiry into alleged cash handovers and wire transfers between Tripoli and Paris in the months before he won power.
