Ammon News - A court sentenced the former French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, who served from 2007 to 2012, to three years in prison with two of them suspended over corruption charges, becoming the second French president to be indicted along with Jacques Chirac.

The Agence France-Presse (AFP) said that on 8 December 2020, the finance prosecutor in the court demanded that the 66-year-old ex-president should be sentenced to four years in prison with two of them suspended after he deemed that the presidential office had been "harmed" due to the corruption-related charges.

Sarkozy was accused of offering to boost a high magistrate's chance of obtaining a promotion in Monaco in 2014 in return for leaked information about a judicial inquiry against him.
