French prosecutors on Thursday requested a seven-year jail sentence and a 300,000-euro fine for French ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy for allegedly taking millions of euros from late Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi to help his 2007 election campaign. Sarkozy has been on trial since January on charges of "concealing the embezzlement of public funds, passive corruption, illegal campaign financing and criminal conspiracy with a view to committing a crime". For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24’s François Picard welcomes Philippe Moreau-Chevrolet, Professor of Political Communication at Sciences Po, Chairman of MCBG Conseil and Senior Partner at Iconic.
