Sarkozy Sentenced To One Year In Prison

File photo dated September 21, 2021 of former president Nicolas Sarkozy during a signing of his book "Promenades" at the Lamartine bookstore in Neuilly-sur-Seine, 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 Eliot Blondet/ABACAPRESS.COM
