Former French president Sarkozy given five-year sentence - gortex - 09-25-2025
Basically Sarco was found guilty of getting Millions of Euro's from deposed and deceased Libyan Dictator Moammar Gaddafi to help finance his first 2007 Presidential campaign , 70 year old Sarco has said the trail was "politically motivated" and he will appeal.
Poor Sarco.
Quote:The ruling means he will spend time in jail even if he launches an appeal, which Sarkozy says he intends to do.
Speaking after Thursday's hearing, the 70-year-old, who was president from 2007-12, said the verdict was "extremely serious for rule of law".
Sarkozy, who claims the case is politically motivated, was accused of using the funds from Gaddafi to finance his 2007 election campaign.
In exchange, the prosecution alleged Sarkozy promised to help Gaddafi combat his reputation as a pariah with Western countries.

I saw the title of a book once. "De Gaulle, The Last Great Frenchman".
Ah, here it is: "The Last Great Frenchman: A Life of General De Gaulle", by Charles Williams.
Seems the author got that correct.
