PARÍS (AP) — Magistrados investigadores ordenaron el viernes que el expresidente francés Nicolas Sarkozy y otras 12 personas vayan a juicio debido a que su campaña presidencial de 2007 recibió millones en financiación ilegal del gobierno del fallecido líder libio Moammar Gadafi.
El fiscal nacional de finanzas, Jean-François Bohnert, anunció que la pesquisa que duró una década ha concluido formalmente. El juicio se realizará de enero a abril de 2025, según el comunicado.
Sarkozy ha estado bajo investigación en el caso de Libia desde 2013. Los investigadores examinaron las acusaciones de que el gobierno de Gadafi le dio en secreto a Sarkozy 50 millones de euros para su campaña ganadora de 2007. La suma sería más del doble del límite legal de financiación de campañas en ese momento y violaría las normas francesas contra la financiación extranjera de campañas.
Después de convertirse en presidente en 2007, Sarkozy dio la bienvenida a Gadafi a Francia con altos honores ese mismo año. Luego, Sarkozy puso a Francia a la vanguardia de los ataques aéreos liderados por la alianza militar OTAN que ayudaron a los combatientes rebeldes a derrocar al gobierno de Gadafi en 2011.
