preemptively I would like to publicly inform everyone that while I have never been imprisoned, I will not like it one bit, in fact it would be a total nightmare for me, so if ever incarcerated, please release me in 14 days tops. thank you for your understanding.
What a space filler article.
“The 70-year-old will be placed under judicial supervision and will be banned from leaving the French territory, a Paris appeals court ruled on Monday.”
That’s pretty much all from the article covering this development, much less about the reasonings as to why it’s happening.
Oh no, I’m banned from leaving my home country.
Rules for thee, not for me 😎
Sacre bleu
Wow, he almost missed his regularly scheduled mani pedi.
So prison is hard for him huh? How about the Libyans he bombed and killed in 2011? Or are we not humans? He should be spending the rest of his life in a prison cell.
French justice…
The rich and powerful are above the law
Idk if it’s 2025 or 1825 anymore.
This is potentially worse than not indicting him in the first place and/or letting him off lightly.
The whole point of holding leaders accountable is giving them something to fear. This does not send that message.
Is this the time you french people get the guillotine out again?
lol french politicians really do live in a different world than the rest of us dont they
Come on guys! He only took money from a foreign nation to fund his election campaign and he already served 20 out of 1825 days in jail.
Besides, it would be a really bad precedent for the elite if you could jail a former president, if he is caught doing crime. You wouldn’t expect the elite to be held *accountable*, now would you?
Totally reasonable.
Well may be then don’t commit crimes if you don’t want to be in prison. On the other hand, that is just for us filthy plebs, so if you are from the patrician class, go ahead.
Oh, I didn’t know he was in Wandsworth? 😂
The criminals are winning everywhere
huh
I heard he wanted to write some kind of book there, so that won’t too long
Less time in prison for corruption at the higher level and paying terrorists than for stealing bread trice.
That first croissant from the boulangerie is gonna hit like crack 🥐
all the Masonic lodges and the Rabinat de France have pulled out all the stops
he was imprisoned for nothing, and even for this nothing it was too much, non violent crimes must not put people in jail
**Nicolas Sarkozy is to be released from prison – after just 20 days into his five-year prison sentence.**
The 70-year-old will be placed under judicial supervision and will be banned from leaving the French territory, a Paris appeals court ruled on Monday.
The former French president was [sentenced for criminal conspiracy](https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/former-french-president-nicholas-sarkozy-prison-5HjdFgk_2/) to finance his 2007 election campaign with funds from Libya. He denies wrongdoing.
The disgraced president becomes the first French president in living memory to be [imprisoned after his conviction on September 25.](https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/nicholas-sarkozy-24-hour-police-guard-french-president-jail-5HjdFkJ_2/)
An appeal trial is expected to take place later.
Nazi collaborationist leader Philippe Pétain was the only other French leader to be locked up, sentenced on treason charges in 1945.
Sarkozy held the position of [French president between 2007-2012](https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/france-what-nicolas-sarkozy-prison-carla-bruni-5HjdFj2_2/), with his son, Louis, 28, calling on supporters to make themselves known following the sentence.
Arriving at the prison last month, Sarkozy held hands with wife Carla Bruni as the pair put on a united front for waiting media.
The former leader arrived at the 19th-Century prison in the Montparnasse district, located south of the River Seine, shortly after 08:30 local time flanked by security.
Ex-French president Sarkozy begins five-year prison sentence for conspiracy
The accusations trace their roots to 2011, when a Libyan news agency and Gadhafi himself said the Libyan state had secretly funnelled millions of euros into Sarkozy’s 2007 campaign.
Despite multiple legal scandals that have clouded his presidential legacy, Sarkozy remains an influential figure in right-wing politics in France and in entertainment circles by virtue of his marriage to Bruni-Sarkozy.
Clickbait article. This is how everyone would be treated in this case
I remember Sarkozy — during his term, relations between Turkey and the EU had almost reached zero, even though Turkey was making progress in both democracy and the economy at the time. When he blocked Turkey, relations deteriorated, and Turkey lost its enthusiasm for EU membership. Moreover, he performed terribly in Libya. I don’t think anyone will remember him fondly.
Friends in high places
Boy….them rich people don’t like prison do they….
Shit article. The meat of the article is in the title and is not repeated in the body of the text. In fact the article hardly mentions the trial at all. Waste of my two minutes.
