Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, convicted over illegal campaign funds from Gaddafi, served a 20-day sentence, later cleared by France’s top court.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has spoken publicly about serving a 20-day prison sentence in 2014, calling it the "hardest bed he ever felt."
The imprisonment followed his conviction on corruption charges tied to illegal campaign financing during his 2007 presidential run, including allegations of receiving funds from Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Held at a Paris prison alongside other inmates, Sarkozy maintained his innocence and claimed the trial was politically motivated.
His conviction was overturned in 2021 by France’s highest court, which found the original trial flawed.
The case drew widespread attention, raising questions about political accountability and justice.
