Overview

  • Louis Sarkozy and Natali Husić announced on Instagram the birth of their son, Sylla Nicolas Sarkozy, sharing a hospital photo and a brief message.
  • The baby was born on October 23, two days after Nicolas Sarkozy entered Paris’s La Santé prison to start a five-year sentence.
  • A Paris criminal court on September 25 found the former president partially guilty in a case tied to corruption and illegal campaign financing.
  • The decision to jail him before appeals conclude has drawn criticism, and his legal team says it will seek his release pending further proceedings.
