A Paris court has sentenced former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to five years in prison after finding him guilty of engaging in criminal activities linked to illegal campaign funding from Libya.
The ruling follows years of investigation into allegations that Sarkozy received millions of euros from the regime of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to finance his 2007 presidential campaign.
The court’s decision marks a historic moment, making Sarkozy the first former French head of state to be convicted on charges of illicit campaign financing tied to foreign sources.
