Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy is on trial over the biggest political financing scandal in modern French history, in which he is alleged to have received millions of euros in illegal election campaign funding from the regime of the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

The historic trial of the rightwing former French president and 12 other people ? including three former government ministers ? for criminal conspiracy to receive funds from a foreign dictator on a massive scale threatens to worsen voters? already low trust in the French political class.

After a 10-year anti-corruption investigation, the court will hear allegations of what investigative magistrates called a corruption pact forged between Sarkozy and the Libyan regime in which intermediaries delivered suitcases full of cash to ministry buildings in Paris to illegally fund Sarkozys victorious 2007 presidential campaign.

The court will examine whether, in exchange for funding Sarkozys presidential campaign, the Libyan regime requested diplomatic, legal and business favours.

One of these alleged requests for favours related to Abdullah al-Senussi, Gaddafi?s spy chief and enforcer. Senussi had been sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment by a French court in 1999 for his role in the 1989 bombing of a UTA passenger plane over Niger which killed 170 people. The court will hear how requests were allegedly made by the Libyan regime to Sarkozys entourage to find a way to lift Frances international arrest warrant against Senussi.

Laure Heinich, a lawyer for 15 relatives of people killed in the UTA plane bombing, said her clients would tell the court of their shock to hear that the arrest of the person who killed their family members could be exchanged for money. She said the alleged corruption pact would mean that the money Nicolas Sarkozy used to get elected in 2007 was money sullied by these families? blood.

Sarkozy, who was president between 2007 and 2012, has denied all wrongdoing in the case.

The three-month trial will unpick Sarkozys complex relationship with Gaddafi, the autocratic Libyan leader whose brutal 41-year rule was marked by human rights abuses and who had been isolated internationally over his regime?s connection to terrorism, including the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie in Scotland in December 1988.
