French prosecutors wrapped their case Wednesday in the appeal trial of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who faces allegations of receiving illegal funding from Libya for his 2007 presidential campaign.
The prosecution is preparing to request sentencing after nearly two months of proceedings in the high-profile case. The trial centers on whether Sarkozy and associates accepted money from former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to finance the campaign. The appeal hearing represents a second legal battle for Sarkozy over the controversial funding allegations.
