Nicolas Sarkozy has made history as the first former French president to be sentenced to prison, receiving a five-year term for his role in allegedly financing his election campaign with funds from Libya under the late leader Muammar Gaddafi. Sarkozy served as president from 2007 to 2012.
He has initiated an appeal against his conviction while currently incarcerated at La Santé prison, where he is placed in a small, isolated cell. This legal development marks a significant moment in French political history.
