The cassation court in Paris rejected Sarkozy's appeal against a trial, the news agency AFP reported, citing unspecified sources. The ex-president must now face trial on charges of bribery and influence. The court of cassation initially did not confirm the step.
The accusations against Sarkozy are based on the use of wiretapped telephone conversations between the politician and his lawyer Thierry Herzog. There had been a fierce dispute about the legality of this months-long bugging action.
