Sarkozy Sentenced To One Year In Prison

File photo dated March 3, 2012 of French President and France's ruling party UMP candidate for the 2012 French presidential election Nicolas Sarkozy is pictured during a campaign meeting in the southwestern city of Bordeaux, France. A French court Thursday convicted former president Nicolas Sarkozy of illegal campaign financing over massive overspending on his 2012 re-election campaign, and sentenced him to one year in prison. The verdict came six months after Sarkozy was found guilty of corruption in a separate trial. Sarkozy, who spent nearly twice the legal limit on his failed bid for a second term in office, wasn't present at the Paris court for the announcement of the verdict. If Sarkozy's appeal is unsuccessful, he could serve a year at home with an electronic tag, rather than go to prison. Photo by Patrick Bernard/ABACAPRESS.COM
