Nicolas Sarkozy.
The Paris Court of Appeal has granted parole to Nicolas Sarkozy.
The former French president will therefore be released from prison after 20 days in prison. Sarkozy was sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment for corruption .
Sarkozy was convicted of belonging to a criminal association linked to the money of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's regime, specifically for receiving money for the 2007 elections and for negotiating with those responsible for the regime.
The Court therefore considers the decision ofthe Public Prosecutor's Office to release to be "admissible" before imposing certain conditions, including a ban on leaving France.
The Public Prosecutor's Office's appeal has succeeded in changing its decision. The trial will continue in 2026, so the former president may not be in the prison until the sentence is considered or confirmed on appeal.
"Nightmare"
Former President Nicolas Sarkozy has described the prison as a "nightmare" before the final decision of the Court of Appeal.
"I would like to thank the humanity of the prison staff for making this prison nightmare bearable," the former president said.
Sarkozy has denounced that his ruling hasbeen "manipulated" again in relation to documents confusing his cabinet with the regime of dictator Gaddafi. Moreover, the conservative leader has been saddened by his current situation and has made it clear that being in prison is hard.
"It's hard, very hard, for all prisoners, I'd say it's exhausting," Nicolas Sarkozy explained.
