Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to 5 years in prison after a Paris court found him guilty of criminal conspiracy tied to alleged Libyan financing of his 2007 campaign. In a surprise move, the court ruled Sarkozy will be incarcerated even if he appeals, though the date is not yet set. Sarkozy, 70, called the verdict “a scandal” and vowed to fight it, saying the ruling humiliates France.
