The Highest court in France has upheld a corruption and influence peddling conviction against former President Nicolas Sarkozy, brushing aside his appeal.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy appealed his 2021 conviction, which resulted in a three-year prison sentence, two of which were suspended, and he was ordered to wear an electronic bracelet instead of serving the last year in prison.
The conviction stemmed from Sarkozy's attempt to bribe a judge, and use his influence to obtain confidential information, about an investigation into his 2007 campaign finances.
Sarkozy expressed on social media that he is innocent and would continue to fight the ruling. The former French President lawyer said they would appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
Sarkozy is also facing a separate trial next year over alleged Libyan funding for his 2007 presidential campaign, which he denies. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
Sarkozy's predecessor, Jacques Chirac, is the only other French president to be convicted of corruption.
