Court sentences politician to three-year prison term with two years suspended
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was found guilty Monday of trying to bribe a magistrate, becoming the first president in the history of France’s post-World War II republic to face house arrest.
A Paris court convicted Mr. Sarkozy on charges of influence-peddling and corruption, sentencing him to three years in prison for offering to help a magistrate land a plum position in the principality of Monaco in exchange for confidential information about an inquiry into the finances of his 2007 presidential campaign.
