France’s highest court has slammed the final door on Nicolas Sarkozy’s legal battle, upholding the ex-president’s 2021 conviction for corruption and influence peddling. The ruling cements a three-year prison sentence—two years suspended—for the 69-year-old leader, once nicknamed the 'hyper-president' for his energetic style.
Sarkozy, who governed France from 2007 to 2012, was found guilty of attempting to bribe a judge in exchange for insider info about a campaign finance probe. Think House of Cards, but with more croissants . His lawyers argued the evidence was 'fragile,' but the court disagreed, calling the decision 'thoroughly reasoned.'
This isn’t Sarkozy’s first legal rodeo —he faces separate trials over campaign financing and Libyan-related allegations. Once a symbol of France’s political elite, he’s now the first former French president to receive an actual prison sentence. Talk about a plot twist!
