Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy returned to court Monday for a retrial on charges he sought campaign funding from Libya's Muammar Gaddafi for his 2007 election, a conviction that led him to briefly serve time last year as France's first modern head of state imprisoned while in office. The Paris appeals court retrial, running until June 3, comes after Sarkozy was convicted in September and served 20 days in prison before his release pending appeal.
