Ex-French president Nicolas Sarkozy begins prison term
Former French president ...
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy became the first post-war former head of state to cross the threshold of a penitentiary on Tuesday to serve a sentence behind bars. He entered the Santé prison in Paris and hopes to be released as soon as possible, as he will most likely request parole quickly. He has already appealed the September 25 sentence, which handed down five years for criminal conspiracy in a case investigating the illegal financing of his 2007 presidential campaign by the Libyan regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
