To understand the Sarkozy-Kadhafi case: Claude Guéant, at the heart of suspicions about Libyan financing
The Cash Investigation team delved into a story of cash, liquid money, and suitcases full of bills that are alleged to have funded a French presidential campaign.
At the center of this case: Nicolas Sarkozy, recently indicted by three judges from the financial division for "passive corruption, illegal campaign financing, and embezzlement of Libyan public funds." Did Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan dictator, finance the campaign of the UMP candidate in 2007? State scandal or “crazy allegations,” as the former President of the Republic claims?
For a year and a half, journalist Nicolas Vescovacci investigated this sprawling case, involving matters of state, personal interests, middlemen, and large amounts of cash. In this affair, some witnesses are speaking out for the first time. You will notably learn how one of the former President’s closest collaborators is suspected of being at the center of a sophisticated financial scheme involving a Libyan investment fund.
From Libya to South Africa, from the Republic’s palaces to Gaddafi’s former bunker, Élise Lucet and her team have followed the trail of two mysterious intermediaries working in the shadows for French politicians. On Tuesday, May 22, revelations about the lavish lifestyle of some of Nicolas Sarkozy's close allies will be unveiled.
After the documentary airs, Élise Lucet will welcome witnesses and experts to the Cash Investigation set.
