[b]French police hold ex-president Sarkozy over ‘Gaddafi funding'[/b]

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken into police custody for questioning over allegations that he received campaign funding from the late Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.

Police are investigating alleged irregularities over the financing of his 2007 presidential campaign.

Police have questioned him previously as part of the probe. Mr Sarkozy has denied any wrongdoing.

 
Interesting.  I wonder if they’ll prosecute him.

[b]Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to three years in jail – two of them suspended – for corruption.[/b]

Sarkozy, 66, was found guilty of trying to bribe a magistrate by offering a prestigious job in Monaco in return for information about a criminal inquiry into his political party.

The magistrate, Gilbert Azibert, and Sarkozy’s former lawyer, Thierry Herzog, got the same sentence.
 
Sarkozy can serve the term at home.
 
In the ruling, the judge in Paris said Sarkozy could serve a year at home with an electronic tag, rather than go to prison. The ex-president is expected to appeal.
