Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been found guilty of criminal conspiracy for receiving illicit funds from Muammar Gaddafi to finance his 2007 presidential campaign. The Paris court acquitted him of other charges, including corruption and illegal campaign financing. Sarkozy, who denies the accusations, faced allegations of promising Gaddafi assistance in exchange for the funds. This conviction adds to his previous legal troubles, including sentences for overspending on his 2012 campaign and attempting to bribe a judge.
