In France, on Thursday March 27, 2025, the financial prosecutor’s office requested that Nicolas Sarkozy be sentenced to seven years imprisonment and a fine of 300,000 euros, as well as five years ineligibility.
The former French president was petrified by these demands.
In a statement posted on his X account, the former head of state denounced “the falsity and violence of the accusations and the outrageousness of the sentence demanded”.
With regard to his former ministers and henchmen Claude Guéant and Brice Hortefeux, the prosecution has requested sentences of six and three years’ imprisonment respectively, together with fines.
The prosecution believes that the latter had helped Nicolas Sarkozy forge a corruption pact with Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi to finance his 2007 presidential campaign.
