Jean-François Bohnert rejects claim by ex-French president, who has been sentenced to five years in jail for election funding conspiracy
The French prosecutor whose office led the case against the former president Nicolas Sarkozy over campaign funding from Libya has denied the investigation was motivated by hatred.
In a rare public comment, Jean-François Bohnert, France’s top prosecutor for financial crimes, told RTL radio on Monday: “We have no hatred to express … Our compass is the law, it is the rule of law.”
