The Paris Criminal Court today, September 25, found ex-French President Nicolas Sarkozy guilty of criminal conspiracy in the case of Libya's financing of his 2007 election campaign, sentencing him to five years in prison.
However, the court added a nuance: five years with a delay in the execution of the sentence, without specifying how long this delay will be. The correspondent of the French TV channel "BFM" emotionally comments on the incident:
"Cries of shock rang out at the announcement of Nicolas Sarkozy's prison sentence! Some people covered their mouths with their hands, others started looking at the broadcast screen, very worried about the verdict."
Marine Le Pen expressed her concern after the conviction of Nicolas Sarkozy.
"In addition to the personality of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, the rejection of dual jurisdiction by extending the temporary execution of a sentence by some jurisdictions poses a great danger from the point of view of the fundamental principles of our law, primarily the presumption of innocence," the politician wrote on her microblog.
Vice-president of the Republican Party and Sarkozy's confidant Daniel Faskel reacted to the verdict a few minutes after the verdict:
"I find it very humiliating, very cruel and in some ways very unfair."
