Sarkozy Sentenced To One Year In Prison
File photo dated April 15, 2012 of France's President and candidate for re-election in 2012, Nicolas Sarkozy, shakes hands as he arrives for a campaign meeting at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, 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 Michel Euler/Pool/ABACAPRESS.COM
