In the shadows since October 21, Nicolas Sarkozy hopes to find a bright spot again. Today promises to be an important day for the former President of the Republic. This Monday morning, the correctional appeals chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal heard the first request for the release of the former host of the Élysée, who was sentenced on September 25 to five years in prison for criminal association in the case of Libyan funding of his 2007 campaign.
He was found guilty of carrying out preparations to finance his accession to the country’s highest summit with money from dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
