Nicolas Sarkozy, former president of France between 2007 and 2012, has been stripped of the Legion of Honor, a distinction rarely withdrawn from a former head of state, following his one-year prison sentence for corruption. The decision was anticipated after the Court of Cassation rejected his appeal. Sarkozy was found guilty of concluding a corruption pact with a magistrate in exchange for an honorary post. His conviction includes a three-year ban from being elected.
