Procès en appel du « financement libyen » : Claude Guéant contre-attaque à distance
During the appeal trial regarding alleged Libyan financing, Nicolas Sarkozy testified in Paris, distancing himself from his former chief of staff, Claude Guéant. Sarkozy portrayed Guéant as having two sides: a dedicated public servant and a corrupt individual. Guéant, gravely ill and absent from the hearing, responded through his lawyer with a signed statement dated April 11th. This statement, considered damaging to Sarkozy, challenges the former president's new stance in the case. The article suggests a conflict between the two men regarding the accusations of Libyan financing. The trial continues to explore these allegations.
