In the last days of campaigning for a second term as president of France, documents have surfaced which suggest Libya's Gaddafi regime donated millions of dollars to Sarkozy's 2007 election campaign.

It's not the first time that claim's been made, and the French President's camp has rejected it as "ridiculous."

Sarkozy's Socialist challenger Francois Hollande is demanding an explanation.
