CitizenVectron Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Actually, looks like he possibly gets to spend that one year in house arrest. So...not that big a deal, except that his conviction is public record. Man, the French just aren't what they used to be when it comes to punishing their leaders. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Nicolas Sarkozy given jail sentence for illegal campaign financing | Nicolas Sarkozy | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Former French president to appeal against one-year term that could be served at home with electronic tag Quote The former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to a second jail term after being found guilty of illegal campaign financing for the vast, showman-style political rallies of his failed 2012 re-election campaign. The 66-year-old, who remains an influential figure on the French right, received a one-year sentence that the judge said could be served under house arrest by wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. Sarkozy is now in the extraordinary and unprecedented situation of having two custodial sentences. At the same time, he has maintained his high public profile, publishing a book on culture this month and regularly being interviewed on TV for his views on April’s presidential race, with candidates on the right vying for his endorsement.
