Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been summoned for possible indictment in the investigation into the retraction in 2020 of the intermediary Ziad Takieddine, who accused her husband Nicolas Sarkozy of having financed his 2007 presidential campaign with Libyan funds, AFP learned on Saturday from a source close to the case. According to this source, the model and singer faces prosecution for receiving stolen witness tampering, criminal conspiracy to prepare fraudulent trials in an organized gang and for the corruption of Lebanese judicial personnel. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy could emerge from this interrogation, the date of which has not been specified, indicted or with the more favorable status of assisted witness.
The judicial investigation opened in May 2021 looks at the possible attempt by a dozen protagonists to deceive French justice in the Libyan case, the main part of which will be judged in early 2025. The ex-president was indicted in October, suspected of having approved these maneuvers. In April, his lawyers filed a motion to overturn the measure. His wife has already been interviewed twice by investigators from the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Financial and Tax Offenses (OCLCIFF): first as a witness in June 2023, then as a suspect at the beginning of May.
