Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced to five years in prison for allowing his associates to seek illegal funding from Libya for his 2007 electoral campaign. Although he was found guilty of 'criminal association', the court acquitted him of charges of receiving stolen goods and illegal funding. Sarkozy stated that he would appeal the decision and emphasized that he would take responsibility, asserting that he would go to prison with "his head held high". This is a landmark conviction for a former French president.
