Sarkozy Sentenced To One Year In Prison

Sarkozy Sentenced To One Year In Prison

File photo dated May 8, 2020 of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy during the ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of World War II victory in Europe, 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 Romain GAILLARD/Pool/ABACAPRESS.COM
