Sarkozy denies receiving 50 million pounds as illegal campaign funding from Gaddafi


French President Nicolas Sarkozy has denied claims that he had received 50 milion euros (42 million pounds) in an illegal campaign funding from former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2007.

"If he (Gaddafi) had financed it, then I haven't been very grateful. Gaddafi, who is known for talking nonsense, even said that there were cheques. Well then the son should just go ahead and produce them then,"The Telegraph quoted Sarkozy,as saying.
