Et à la fin... c'est Nicolas qui paie !
L’ancien président de la République Nicolas Sarkozy a été condamné jeudi 25 septembre 2025 à cinq ans de prison et à une incarcération prochaine par le tribunal correctionnel de Paris.

Overview

  • The Paris criminal court convicted Nicolas Sarkozy of association de malfaiteurs in the alleged Libyan financing case and acquitted him of corruption, illicit campaign financing and receiving embezzled public funds.
  • His appeal, along with those of Claude Guéant and Brice Hortefeux, has been formally registered, and co-defendants Alexandre Djouhri and Wahib Nacer appealed from custody after being jailed at the verdict.
  • Prosecutor Jean-François Bohnert said the financial prosecutor’s office is still weighing its own appeal and urged the Paris appeals court to set a tight timetable.
  • Two criminal investigations were opened into threats targeting the presiding judge, which President Emmanuel Macron condemned as unacceptable.
  • The judgment found a criminal plan to seek foreign funding in exchange for attention to the case of convicted terrorist Abdallah Senoussi, and it noted the Mediapart-published Moussa Koussa note was probably a fake, a point now fiercely contested in public debate.
