Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy was arrested on Tuesday morning in connection with a probe into the financing of his successful 2007 presidential run which allegedly included funding from late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Sarkozy - who was president of France from 2007 until 2012 - is said to have accepted €50MM from Gaddafi's regime, claims which have been repeated by the late Libyan dictator's son and French businessman Ziad Takieddine, SkyNews reported. That amount would be more than double the legal spending limit in French elections at that time, which was €21MM. Alleged payments would also violate French laws on foreign financing and declaring the source of campaign funds.

It seems as if some measure of bad karma has finally come to haunt the friends of Hillary Clinton, with news emerging this week that France’s former President Nicholas Sarkozy has been indicted for financial corruption in Libya stemming from the late Muammar Gaddafi’s alleged financing of Sarkozy’s 2007 campaign. With the protection of the neoliberal Queen, Hillary Clinton, removed from the political chess board after her failed Presidential bid, it remains to be seen as to how many more of her supporters and associates have become perilously vulnerable to exposure. When then Secretary-of-State Hillary Clinton spat “We came, we saw, he died,” in the wake of Muammar Gaddafi’s murder, she was not the only psychopath reveling in a bloody victory: Behind her, in the shadows, corrupt leaders like Sarkozy were also cheering.
Earlier this week, press reports indicated that Sarkozy was placed under official investigation and charged with passive corruption, illicit campaign financing and misappropriation of Libyan public funds in relation to the alleged illegal financing of his 2007 presidential campaign by the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Julian Assange Tweeted:

This news sent shockwaves farther afield than Europe. WikiLeaks Editor-In-Chief Julian Assange noted that Sarkozy had actively worked to have the publisher banned in France during his term. Assange also took to Twitter to describe Sarkozy’s possible motives in aiding Clinton and Obama in the takedown of Gaddafi, and the destruction of Libya that has resulted in open slave markets and a hotbed of terrorism. Assange highlighted an email chain from Sidney Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton, published by WikiLeaks, which describes Sarkozy’s motivations for toppling Gaddafi’s regime.
The email chain reveals that Gaddafi’s government held 143 tons of gold and a similar amount in silver valued at more than $7 billion. The emails exchange goes on to state that thegold was intended to be used to: “establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide, the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA).”
The WikiLeaks document goes on to describe how French intelligence officers discovered this plan, and that it was a factor which influencedSarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya along with the following points:

Thanks to the efforts of Sarkozy and then US Secretary-of-State Hillary Clinton, regime change in Libya created an atmosphere of utter chaos. As recently as Wednesday, Reuters reported that executions, torture and slave markets persist in the ravaged country, writing:
“Armed groups execute and torture civilians in Libya in almost complete impunity seven years after the revolution that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, the United Nations human rights office said on Wednesday. Libyans and migrants are often held incommunicado in arbitrary detention in appalling conditions, and reports persist of captured migrants being bought and sold on “open slave markets”, it said in a report to the Human Rights Council.”
The destruction of Libya is not the only tie binding Sarkozy with Clinton. He personally stepped in on behalf of child traffickers in Chad, much as Bill and Hillary Clinton went to great lengths to intervene for the sake of accused child trafficker Laura Silsby in Haiti.
