Final sentence for Nicolas Sarkozy: 3 years including 1 year with electronic bracelet
Eye-roll: The former French president, convicted of corruption and influence peddling, will turn to the European Court of Human Rights
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been definitively sentenced to one year in prison with an electronic bracelet for corruption and trafficking in influence. The decision of the French Court of Cassation, confirmed today, 18 December, marks a historic turning point, as it is the first time a former French head of state has received such a sentence.
Sarkozy has accepted the sentence, as stated by his lawyer Patrice Spinosi: ‘He will comply with the sanction imposed’, but he has already announced that he will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights to defend the rights that, according to him, ‘the French judges have denied him’.
In a Facebook post, Sarkozy expressed bitterness, saying that he will continue to fight to ‘prove his innocence’ and that his ‘determination is total’. While taking responsibility for his role, the former president called the conviction a ‘profound injustice’ and promised to continue his legal battle.
The court case that led to this conviction concerns Sarkozy’s attempt to obtain confidential information about an investigation against him through lawyer Thierry Herzog and former judge Gilbert Azibert, both of whom were convicted along with the former president. Despite the conviction, Sarkozy will avoid prison thanks to the electronic surveillance measure, but will suffer a political ban for three years.
