Le Monde: At Sarkozy's trial, court examines lawyers' mysterious trip to Libya
Nicolas Sarkozy denied sending lawyers to Libya to lift the arrest warrant for Abdullah al-Senoussi, who was convicted for the 1989 UTA DC-10 attack. Sarkozy attributed any such actions to former President Jacques Chirac, asserting he had no authority over the matter.
The prosecution argues that Sarkozy's chief of staff met al-Senoussi in 2005, and discussions with Libyan leader Gaddafi included al-Senoussi's case. Sarkozy claims the alleged "corruption pact" is unfounded and insists he never acted alone with Gaddafi.
