Overview

  • Sarkozy, Claude Guéant and Brice Hortefeux filed and had their appeals recorded, joined by Wahid Nacer and Alexandre Djouhri whose appeals were registered from detention.
  • Sarkozy is under a delayed arrest warrant and has been summoned by the financial prosecutor’s office for October 13 to be told the date and place of his incarceration.
  • PNF chief Jean‑François Bohnert urged a tight appeal timetable, condemned threats against the court president and noted that prison terms of five years typically carry a custody order.
  • The tribunal convicted Sarkozy of allowing close aides to solicit Libyan authorities for support to his 2007 campaign, sentencing him to five years and imposing mixed sentences on co‑defendants.
  • Political and legal controversy intensified over the use of the association de malfaiteurs charge and a Mediapart note the court deemed probably fake, even as higher courts had not established forgery, while Macron publicly denounced threats against magistrates.
