Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy is back in court for an appeal trial on charges he sought Libyan financing for his 2007 election, in a case that last year saw him become France's first modern-day head of state to go to prison. The hearings will run until 3 June.
A lower court in September found the right-wing politician - who was president from 2007 to 2012 - guilty of seeking to acquire funding from the late Libyen leader Moamer Gaddafi's Libya, for the campaign that saw him elected.
