Nicolas Sarkozy received up to £42million from Colonel Gaddafi to fund his election as president, it was claimed yesterday.

Evidence made public in Paris is said to prove that the two men had an illegal financial arrangement that helped Mr Sarkozy to power in 2007.

A governmental briefing note published by Mediapart, an investigative website, points to numerous visits to Libya by Mr Sarkozy and his colleagues that were aimed at securing funding.

One, which is referred to in the note as having taken place on October 6, 2005, led to ‘campaign finance to NS (Nicolas Sarkozy)’ being ‘totally solved’.

At the time Mr Sarkozy was an ambitious interior minister raising money for his presidential election campaign. Taking cash would have broken political financing laws.

Mediapart claims that 50million euros referred to in the note was laundered through bank accounts in Panama and Switzerland.
