Carla Bruni, the wife of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, was accused and placed under judicial supervision in connection with a case involving her husband, France Press reported, quoted by dariknews.bg.
The case concerns the case of Ziad Takiedin, who accused Nicolas Sarkozy of financing his election campaign for the presidential elections in 2007 with Libyan money. Takiedin then changed his claims in 2020
The inquiry, in which Carla Bruni has now been charged, sought answers to the question of why French-Lebanese mediator Takiedin, who was initially the main witness claiming that Sarkozy received funding from the regime of the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, eventually changed his position .
Investigators suspect that several close associates of Nicolas Sarkozy put pressure on Takiedin and that Carla Bruni had a minimal role in all of this. Sarkozy himself was charged with pressuring a witness in early October.
Otherwise, the main trial against Sarkozy for illegal financing of an election campaign will continue at the beginning of next year.
