FORMER French President Nicolas Sarkozy Has Been Released From Prison And Will Now Serve His Five-Year Sentence Under Court Supervision While Waiting For A Decision On His Appeal. The Ruling Was Announced By A French Court On Monday.
In September, A Lower Court Convicted Sarkozy Of Illegally Receiving Campaign Funds From Former Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi During His Presidential Campaign.
The 70-Year-Old Politician Was Ordered To Report To Prison On October 21, But His Lawyers Filed An Appeal Against The Sentence.
Shortly After Turning Himself In, Sarkozy Requested To Be Released On Conditions, Which The Court Has Now Granted As He Awaits The Outcome Of The Appeal Process.
