Sarkozy to file complaint in Gaddafi funding claim

French President Nicolas Sarkozy says he will file a complaint against a news website that claims to have evidence he was offered campaign financing from late Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi for his first presidential bid. Sarkozy denies the allegation, which was first levied by one of Gaddafi's sons last year as France was pressing for international airstrikes against Gaddafi's forces. On Saturday, Mediapart reported that it had obtained a 2006 document signed by Gaddafi's then-intelligence chief Moussa Koussa with an offer by the regime to spend 50 million euros ($66 million) on Sarkozy's campaign. Sarkozy told French TV on Monday that he would file a complaint before the end of the current campaign. The French vote on Sunday, and polls predict Sarkozy will lose.
