New in the case of Libyan financing of the presidential campaign of Nicolas Sarkozy 2007. The Journal du Dimanche reveals in its columns how the magistrates in charge of the investigation would have made an agreement with the head of the Libyan intelligence to obtain statements against the former President of the Republic to carry out their investigations.

This agreement revealed by the JDD between the French justice and the chief of Libyan intelligence is more like an arrangement. On February 5, 2019, Justice Serge Tournaire , in charge of the investigation of the Libyan financing of the presidential campaign of Nicolas Sarkozy, goes to Tripoli to interrogate Abdallah Senoussi, the head of the intelligence services of the country and brother-in-law of Muammar Gaddafi.

During the interrogation, the magistrate evokes an indulgence clause for Abdallah Senoussi: if he brings information against Nicolas Sarkozy, he will benefit from the leniency of the French justice.

No trace of this compromise ...

Nevertheless, according to our colleagues in the Journal du Dimanche , there is no record of this compromise between the justice and the head of Libyan intelligence. Favorable treatment rather troubling since Abdallah Senoussi is covered by an international arrest warrant for organizing the 1989 attack against a DC - 10 of the airline UTA.

A promise that allows Abdallah Senoussi not to be worried while he is himself accused of the transfer of 7 million euros for the presidential campaign Nicolas Sarkozy 2007.
