France’s ex-president Sarkozy: From palace to jail for 5 years

He goes to prison after judge sentenced him last month for criminal conspiracy over a scheme to secure funding for his 2007 campaign from Libya’s then-leader Muammar Gaddafi

France’s ex-president Sarkozy: From palace to jail for 5 years

France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy waves to his supporters as he leaves his residence to present himself to La Sante Prison in Paris on Tuesday.

(AFP)

Nicolas Sarkozy entered the Elysee Palace in 2007 boasting hyperactive energy and a vision to transform France, but lost office after just one term. The ex-president has now gone to prison in a spectacular downfall.

The outspoken right-wing politician had pledged to stay in the margins following his electoral defeat, famously quipping: "You won't hear about me anymore".

This promise has proved hard to keep, given his third marriage to superstar musician and model Carla Bruni, an attempt to return to frontline politics in 2017, and now a headline-grabbing legal fiasco.
