He has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>And French prosecutors on Thursday demanded he face a new trial over alleged Libyan financing of his 2007 election campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Financial crimes prosecutors said Sarkozy and 12 others should face trial over allegations they sought millions of euros in financing from the regime of then Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi for the ultimately victorious campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Sarkozy is accused of corruption, illegal campaign financing and concealing the embezzlement of public funds but rejects all the charges.<\/p>\n<p>Investigating magistrates are to have the last word on whether or not that trial goes ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his legal problems, Sarkozy still enjoys considerable influence and popularity on the right of French politics and has the ear of incumbent President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n<p>Before Sarkozy, the only French leader to be convicted in a criminal trial was his predecessor Jacques Chirac, who received a two-year suspended sentence in 2011 for corruption over a fake jobs scandal relating to his time as Paris mayor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A French appeals court on Wednesday upheld a prison sentence of three years, including two suspended, against former president Nicolas Sarkozy for corruption and influence peddling.
