Anticor filed a complaint on April 7 against Nicolas Sarkozy, Claude Guéant and publicist François de La Brosse. The complaint, revealed by the daily Le Monde, targets the former head of state, his former right-hand man and former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad Ben Jassem al-Thani.
Anticor relies on an article in Mediapart, published in September, reporting the collaboration of François de la Brosse, via his company ZNZ Group, free of charge in Sarkozy's presidential campaign.
