Le Monde: Nicolas Sarkozy, former French President, is now in custody for receiving €50 million from Libya's Muammar Gaddafi to finance his 2007 campaign.

Sarkozy personally engineered the 2011 Libya invasion that killed Gaddafi.

Saif Al Islam, Gaddafi's son said this in 2011:

Here is Muammar Gaddafi's personal interpreter, Moftah Missouri, confirm the funneling of funds to Nicolas Sarkozy for his campaign.. He was personally told by Gaddafi that at least $20million had been sent by Libya.

Here is the original story French leading paper, Le Monde broke today on the arrest and detention of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

(Auto translated)

Gaddafi, as reported by France 24, was quoted as saying...

"Sarkozy is mentally deficient... It's thanks to me that he became president... We gave him the funds that allowed him to win"

The Economist article on the 23rd of August, 2011 after the Libya invasion reporting on Sarkozy's reaction before and after the war.

You can deduce that Sarkozy really took it upon himself to ensure that Gaddafi was toppled.

This was the earlier thread on the UK House of Commons report on the Libya invasion by NATO, led by Sarkozy's France.

They literally cast the blame on Sarkozy for initiating the invasion and switching plan to "regime change."

Very important thread...
