Libyan funding case: Alexandre Djouhri released under judicial supervision
Alexandre Djouhri, the Franco-Algerian businessman involved in the Libyan funding scandal linked to Nicolas Sarkozy’s 2007 presidential campaign, has been released under judicial supervision by the Paris Court of Appeal. Djouhri, 66, was previously sentenced to six years in prison.
Under the court’s conditions, Djouhri cannot leave the Île-de-France region, must remain at his Paris-area residence between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and is prohibited from contacting co-defendants. He is also barred from engaging in economic intermediation and must surrender his French and Algerian passports while reporting weekly to authorities.
The public prosecutor had opposed his release, citing his dual nationality and potential risk of fleeing to Algeria, where judicial cooperation with France is limited. Djouhri’s lawyer confirmed that he would leave La Santé prison in the coming hours.
Two other individuals involved, including former President Nicolas Sarkozy and banker Wahib Nacer, had also been released following first-instance convictions. Djouhri is now expected to appear free during the appeal trial, scheduled from March 16 to June 3, alongside nine other defendants, including Sarkozy and two close associates, Claude Guéant and Brice Hortefeux.
