Nicolas Sarkozy: Former French President to be released from prison pending appeal
CNN7 days
Sarkozy's conviction represents justice finally catching up with corruption at the highest levels of French politics. The court found he used his position to prepare corruption schemes with Gadhafi's intelligence chief, a convicted terrorist mastermind behind deadly airline bombings.
Sarkozy's imprisonment was a politically motivated nightmare driven by hate rather than justice. The court cleared him of corruption and illegal campaign financing charges, finding no evidence the alleged Libyan money was actually used in his campaign.
