Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy appeals prison term.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has appealed his one-year prison sentence for illegal campaign financing in his failed 2012 re-election bid. The Paris Court of Appeal upheld the 12-month sentence but suspended six months of it. Sarkozy's lawyer, Vincent Desry, claimed that his client was entirely innocent and filed an appeal to France's highest court, the Cour de Cassation.
