Sarkozy wants to move to the European Court of Justice against judgment!

Monaco, Frankreich - A huge blow for Nicolas Sarkozy! France's Oberster Court of Justice confirmed the controversial conviction of the former president on Wednesday for corruption and influence. A judgment that shakes the country's political landscape!

The Cour de Cassation, the country's highest court, has confirmed the decision from 2021, which Sarkozy condemned to a three -year prison sentence. But this is where the blast comes: two years of this punishment are exposed to, and instead of prison, the ex-president is monitored with an electronic ankle bracelet. A scandal for many!

an outcry of innocence

Sarkozy's lawyer, Patrick Spinosi, has already announced that the former president wants to act against the judgment before the European Court of Human Rights. "Unfortunately, the challenge that I will put on could lead to a conviction against France," Sarkozy wrote on the X. He emphasizes: "I would like to make it clear again that I am clearly innocent."

The allegations that were made against Sarkozy are serious: he is said to have tried to bribe a judge and influence secret information about an investigation into his campaign financing in 2007. A dangerous game that now has consequences!

a second case of corruption

The evidence is overwhelming! Sarkozy was guilty because he had tried to secure a job for judge Gilbert Azibert in Monaco, in exchange for insider information about the investigation into illegal payments from the L’Oreal Erbin Liliane Bettencourt. Azibert himself was also convicted of corruption.

But that's not all! Sarkozy, who has withdrawn from public life since 2017, faces further allegations of corruption. Next year he is in court for alleged illegal financing of his 2007 presidential campaign - with the explosive accusation that he is said to have received funds from the Libyan government. If he is convicted, he threatens up to 10 years in prison!

With this conviction, Sarkozy is only the second French president in modern history, who was convicted of corruption. His predecessor Jacques Chirac was convicted in 2011 - four years after his resignation. A dark chapter in the history of French politics!

The developments related to Sarkozy are not only a legal drama, but also a political earthquake that keeps the nation in suspense. How will the story develop? The eyes of the world are aimed at France!
