So Fabrice keeps digging and he gets his hands on a new document, a document which is still contested and will become hugely significant.
It's a very interesting document which backed up everything we had so far.
It looks like an official Libyan government document dated 2006 and signed by one of Gaddafi's closest advisers.
If true, this document would confirm the allegations already made by Gaddafi's son in that interview with Euronews.
Fabrice had to be sure it was genuine.
He launched a series of extensive checks to verify it.
The authenticity of this document has been disputed ever since.
Sarkozy says it's a forgery and he sued Mediapart three times in court.
He lost all three cases.
But then in Sarkozy's trial, its credibility was once again called into question.
Fabrice believes there's enough evidence that it's authentic.
But at this point, he's left with a difficult choice.
because by the time he's ready to publish, it's the most sensitive possible moment.
It's the middle of the 2012 presidential campaign, and Sarkozy is seeking re-election.
We knew very well that revealing this in the middle of the presidential campaign, we would be criticised.
The information, they thought, was too important to sit on.
So Fabrice and his colleagues decide to publish.
On the campaign trail, Sarkozy is asked by the French TV channel TF1 about the Libya allegations.
Is it true, he's asked, that Colonel Gaddafi financed him last time round in 2007?
It's grotesque, he says.
