Sarkozy condemned: a booth for the former president!

Paris, Frankreich - France's former President Nicolas Sarkozy must now accept the clear shadow of his conviction. The Court of Justice in Paris recently confirmed its punishment of one year in prison in the form of an electronic ankle fessel, after an appellate court had already issued the debt and unauthorized influence in May. According to reports from tagesschau.de, Sarkozy has been guilty of lubricating a general lawyer in order to obtain secret information about his earlier campaign investments. These settings not only endanger the integrity of the judiciary, but also create great public interest.

Sarkozy's legal struggle continues

Despite the final decision of the cassation court, Sarkozy shows no signs of surrender. His lawyer said that they intended to call the human rights court in Strasbourg in order to possibly act against the decision. In May, an appellate court, as reported today.at, had expressed a similar punishment - a total sentence of three years, two of which were suspended on probation. Thus, he only has to serve with an electronic ankle brim at home, which has not yet finally clarified the legal consequences for the former head of state.

With regard to the allegations, it is shown that Sarkozy had tried to influence the then general attorney Gilbert Azibert by his lawyer Thierry Herzog and the procurement of a post in Monaco. The serious threat to the independence of the judiciary caused a stir and is considered particularly serious in the reasoning if one takes into account that these acts were committed by a former president. As the presiding judge Sophie Clément noted, Sarkozy's behavior weighs particularly heavily and underlines the responsibility of a head of state for the protection of the rule of law.
