The BFMTV channel reports this.
“The Court of Appeal sentenced Sarkozy to a year in prison, with six months suspended, in the Bigmalion case,” the publication says.
The verdict in the first instance in this case would have been handed down to Sarkozy back in 2021. Then he was sentenced to a year in prison, which the ex-leader must serve at home with an electronic bracelet.
It is noted that Sarkozy spent €42.7 million on his 2012 election campaign, while only €22.5 million is allowed to be spent.
In September 2021, a court in Paris sentenced Nicolas Sarkozy to a year in prison for illegal campaign financing.
