Former President Nicolas Sarkozy has been found guilty by a French court on a series of corruption charges and sentenced to prison.
Sarkozy was president from 2007 to 2012 and was one of the most powerful leaders in Europe during this time period.
Sarkozy has been sentenced to one year of imprisonment in addition to a two year suspended sentence.
As Fox News reports:
PARIS (AP) – A Paris court on Monday found French former President Nicolas Sarkozy guilty of corruption and influence peddling and sentenced him to one year in prison and a two-year suspended sentence.
The 66-year-old politician, who was president from 2007 to 2012, was convicted for having tried to illegally obtain information from a senior magistrate in 2014 about a legal action in which he was involved.
The court said Sarkozy will be entitled to request to be detained at home with an electronic bracelet.
The court said the facts were “particularly serious” given that they were committed by a former president who used his status to help a magistrate who had served his personal interest. In addition, as a former lawyer, he was “perfectly informed” about committing an illegal action, the court said.
But Hillary Clinton and obungler run free?
That was France. In France Hillary would be tried & convicted. Unfortunately this is America, the global leader of corruption.
I wouldn’t bet on that. If she were there you can bet she’d have a lot of skeletons in the closet to pull out as well.
Also a lot of suicide cases
Yes why is it that the politicians in USA can get away with Murder Yes and even less but they can do anything they want except for Trump. They are all out to kill him
globalist puppet sarkozy is going to run free at home too .
Not to mention Joe Biden!
Why can’t we do this to Clinton, Obama, Biden, Cammie Harris, and Biden Jr.
We can
they are untouchable ,so they think….
Because globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet barry soetoro appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all their criminals .
They are protected by the swamp. Hopefully, they too will get what they earned. Bring Trump back!
They deserve a 30+ year sentence on the chain gang. They have looked down their noses at us employees for years. It’s time for them to be humiliated in public.
United States government is so corrupt I’m glad to be at this stage of my life. As Dan states below: killery and obungler still remain free/uncharged. A Federal election stolen ? This would not have happened during the Greatest Generation. We had it all and we let the commies take it with the “free lovers” in charge.
I gave everything I could in my younger days for the privileges’ of being an American. Today I would die for the America TRUMP represented. HOW BOUT YOU NALL ?
My sentiments EXACTLY! If only we could go back and eliminate the evil ones before they came to power. So many I wouldn’t know where to start!
It would be a good argument for retro abortion!
I again would wear the uniform and pledge my life for freedom of my country if necessary .
so many of our so called leaders have never shown to have to fight for any freedom ,always given to them freely. Now they want to take the freedoms we have now and take them away from us .a bunch of socialist/communist minded idiots…All are power hungry and will do anything to get their way……Lie ,steal, cheat and even murder if it suits their needs..
1000 % correct.
I cannot believe the corruption . They get on TV and tell you those lies right to your face in the camera like you are stupid . The FBI the CIA Governors AG’s I cant believe what I gave seen and see all the time UNTHINKABLE
Speaking of corruption: hey Joe, did you pick up Kamala in the local Seven-Eleven?
I hope soon this will happened in America Joe Biden Hillary Obama Pelosi Schumer should be indicted to corrupt and in prison in Gitmo .
We need the same for many of our politicians!
It would make all the others look bad and a tribunal would be started which is what we need. I was told one was started world wide awhile back but haven’t heard anything so far about it.
time for the American people to stand up and demand the DOJ investigate’s all member of congress that have become rich while in office…kick backs ,bribes, payoffs etc…most of congress would resign//
Unfortunately, the DOJ is corrupt or this would have happened over the last couple years.
If France can send an ex-official to prison, why aren’t Bill & Hillary and Obama in prison ? Clinton’s for $$ scams and Obama for murder (Benghazi) ?
All of the witnesses committed suicide
Sounds like a slap on the wrist … with a damp rag.
I wonder how many beans he has in his bag.
Wow, who would have thought that the French would be teaching us an example of equal justice? Can we borrow that court for a few years? Oh, Hillary, Barack, Hunter! We’d like you to do some ‘splaining to some folks!
GREAT!!!!!! IF EUROPE CAN DO THIS EVEN AFTER HE IS OUT OF OFFICE????? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IN THE US?????????? THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY THAT SHOULD BE IN PRISON NOW!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA ……TAKE SOME LESSONS……..FIND OUT HOW?????????? OR ARE THERE TO MANY MANY MANY CROOKED ONES IN HIGH PLACES?????????????
Well at least some countries of the world prosecute corrupt satanic Nazi democrats! The USA sure doesn’t!
