Sarkozy Sentenced to Jail: France Shows Accountability for Former President

Nicolas Sarkozy, former French president, has been sentenced to five years in jail after being found guilty of criminal conspiracy related to illicit funds from the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The court ruled Sarkozy allowed aides to contact Libyan officials to obtain financial support for his 2007 election campaign. While the court acquitted him of passive corruption and illegal campaign financing, he was ordered to pay a fine of €100,000. This marks a significant moment, as the former president intends to appeal the ruling.
