France’s top court to rule on Sarkozy’s appeal in 2012 campaign finance case involving €43M in illegal funds.
France’s highest court, the Court of Cassation, is set to rule on former president Nicolas Sarkozy’s appeal in a 2012 campaign finance case, where he allegedly used nearly 43 million euros in illegal funds—double the legal limit.
Prosecutors seek to uphold his conviction, which could result in a six-month sentence, possibly with an electronic bracelet.
Sarkozy, who denies wrongdoing, has already served time in a separate 2007 case involving Libya’s Kadhafi and previously served 20 days under judicial supervision.
The decision marks his final chance to avoid a second definitive conviction, despite his ongoing political influence and plans to publish a book about his prison experience.
