The case is linked to claims that he took money from late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
PARIS: Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy was today charged as part of an investigation into possible witness tampering, adding to his long list of legal woes, including over illegal campaign financing.
The case against Sarkozy, still an influential figure in French conservative politics, is linked to allegations that he took money from late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi to fund one of his election campaigns, for which he is to stand trial in 2025. But in 2020 Takieddine suddenly retracted his incriminating statement, raising suspicions that Sarkozy may have put pressure on the witness to change his mind.
At least nine other people are under suspicion of participating in the alleged conspiracy, which investigators said may have involved payment to Takieddine.
