00:00Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrived at the Paris Court of Appeal on Monday for the final hearing in his
00:07high-stakes appeal over alleged Libyan financing of his 2007 presidential campaign.
00:13Sarkozy again insisted there was, in his words, not a single cent of Libyan money in his campaign.
00:20A law court in 2025 found he had sought funding from Muammar Gaddafi's regime, though it did not conclude he
00:28received or used it.
00:30He was sentenced to five years in prison and served 20 days before being released pending appeal.
00:36The petition runs until June 3, with a verdict expected in the fall. If convicted, Sarkozy faces up to 10
00:43years in prison.
