Libyan financing in the 2007 French presidential election

Libya, at the direction of its then-leader Muammar Gaddafi, spent up to €50 million funding the 2007 presidential campaign of French politician Nicolas Sarkozy. The allegations surfaced in March 2011 from Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gaddafi, after France intervened in the Libyan civil war. This claim was subsequently supported by former Libyan prime minister Baghdadi Mahmudi and the investigative website Mediapart, which published documents and testimony that suggested large cash transfers. Other evidence included diaries belonging to former Libyan oil minister Shukri Ghanem, who was later found dead.
