Court questions Carla Bruni over Libya funding for Sarkozy case
A French court questioned Carla Bruni, the wife of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, amid investigations into alleged illegal campaign funding from Libya for his election bid in 2007.
Sarkozy allegedly received illegal campaign funds from Libyan strongman Moamer Gaddafi and has been charged with illegal campaign financing, embezzlement of public funds and bribery, allegations he denies.
Musician and former French first lady Bruni was questioned on Thursday about possible witness tampering, the Paris financial prosecutor's office confirmed to dpa.
