Roughly translated, racaille means scum.
Now, it's a very divisive term because racaille is a very, very old word in French.
This language infuriated many people in the banlieues and also many on the French left.
But for his base on the conservative right, this was exciting stuff.
By the end of the year, Sarkozy is the favourite to win the next presidential election.
He knows very well though that if you want to be French president, you have to be a player on the world stage, not just at home.
Now, he's famous in France, but hardly anyone knows him internationally.
And he decides to do something about that.
He plans a trip to meet a prominent, headline-grabbing world leader.
And to the surprise of many, he chooses Tripoli and the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Now, you often hear journalists say that they don't want to become the story.
But when it comes to this story, it would be hard to tell it without this journalist.
Fabrice Arfi is an investigative reporter with a French news website called Mediapart.
This investigation for you has taken up a significant part of your life.
I mean, I remember talking to you about it way back in 2012.
Both of us are quite a bit older at this stage.
I have a lot less hair.
Yeah, you have a few grey hairs in the beard.
Fabrice has spent 15 years investigating this story, trying to unpick what happened at a series of meetings in Tripoli at the end of 2005.
At the epicentre of Fabrice's investigation is the summit between Nicolas Sarkozy and Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, in October of that year.
