The former president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, has been found guilty by an appeals court, sentencing him to 6 months in prison, but which he will serve in isolation at home. The court decided to change the decision of the First Instance, which sentenced him to 1 year suspended prison term, for concealing campaign expenses. The court decided that he should stay 6 months in the apartment with a bracelet on his leg and then another 6 months on probation.
Nicolas Sarkozy, who was president of France for one term from 2007 to 2012, but after his presidential term ended, remained an influential political figure in conservative French circles and is on friendly terms with the current French president, Emmanuel Macron, despite a series of trials and investigations related to various legal issues related to the financing of the election campaign.
He has always denied accusations that his Republican party, then known as the UMP, collaborated with the public relations agency Bigmalion to hide the true sums of a presidential campaign marked by the spending of money unprecedented in French political life. During the hearing, Sarkozy denied personal guilt but blamed several members of his election team.
"I have not chosen any supplier, I have not signed any offer, not a single invoice," said Sarkozy in court. In France, there are strict measures that limit the expenses for the election campaign.
