Nicolas Sarkozy Faces Families of Victims of the 1989 Attack

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was interrogated by the Paris Court of Appeal regarding suspicions of Libyan financing for his 2007 presidential campaign. During the hearing, he faced the pain of the families of the victims of the 1989 UTA DC-10 attack, who expressed their anger over what they see as a denial of the truth. Sarkozy acknowledged the legitimacy of their grief while asserting his innocence against the allegations of illegal financing. He denied claims that he negotiated funding with Abdallah Senoussi, a former Libyan dignitary.
