Sarkozy had Gaddafi's funding

Nicolas Sarkozy received up to £42million from Colonel Gaddafi to fund his election as French president, a report on Monday revealed.
Extraordinary evidence made public in Paris is said to prove that the two former close allies had an illegal financial arrangement which propelled Sarkozy to power in 2007.
The revelation will provide terrific ammunition for the political enemies of the French premier and it may also strike a chord of fear into his friends abroad.
French jets were the first to attack Gaddafi's tanks in a brutal military campaign which ended with the Libyan leader being murdered.
Eyebrows were first raised when Colonel Gaddafi was honoured with a state visit to Paris in late 2007. He was referred to as the 'Brother Leader' by the French, and allowed to pitch his trademark tent next to the Elysee Palace.
Now this governmental briefing note published by Mediapart, the hugely respected investigative website, asks huge questions of Sarkozy's motives - and his basic decency.
It points to numerous visits to Libya by the PM and his colleagues which were aimed at securing funding.
One, which is referred to in the note as having taken place on October 6, 2005, led to 'campaign finance to NS (Nicolas Sarkozy, then an ambitious interior minister)' being 'totally solved'.
The revelations follow Gaddafi's son and former heir, Saif-Al Islam Gaddafi, last year stating unambiguously that Libya had financed Sarkozy's election.
'The first thing we want this clown to do is to give the money back to the Libyan people. He was given the assistance so he could help them, but he has disappointed us. Give us back our money.'
The Elysee Palace would not comment on the revelations.
