The convicted former French head of the state of Nicolas Sarkozy has now received an electronic single bracelet to be his only one -year prison sentence.
Now the conservative can only leave the house between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., as the Paris Public Officor said. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday he can travel until 9:30 PM. Sarkozy is in a different test on these days of the week.
Sarkozy was sentenced to three years in prison for bribery and unauthorized influence. Two of them are exposed to probation, one thing that he must serve at home with a stand. The Court of Justice as the highest French court confirmed a corresponding judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal in December. The verdict became legally binding. Sarkozy had denied the allegations. The punishment is unprecedented for a former head of state in recent French history.
The procedure was about the fact that the former president reportedly tried to receive his long -term lawyer Thierry Herzog in 2014 to receive secrets from lawyer Gilbert Azibert in another affair. In exchange, Azibert received support for the application for a post in Monaco. In essence, this behavior has endangered the independence of the judiciary, argued the indictment. Duke and Azibert were also sentenced to three years in prison, two of them on trial.
