Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was released from home prison after serving a part of the sentence for corruption.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, on Thursday, composed a monitoring electronic bracelet on the leg. The facility ordered him to be worn in December after he sentenced Sarkozy for corruption. This is reported to TASR, according to the AFP report.
The court ordered Sarkozy to carry a monitoring bracelet in February instead of serving his annual sentence for corruption in prison. Given his age, a 70-year-old ex-president could apply for early conditional shortening of the sentence that the court had taken on Wednesday after serving more than three months, the French prosecutor’s office said.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the composition of the bracelet is subject to reporting obligation in leaving the country, following the summons of the court and receiving visits to probation workers. Conditional release was also confirmed by Sarkozy’s lawyer Jacqueline Laffont Haik.
The Supreme Court of Appeal acknowledged Sarkozy’s Court of Appeal a year ago as guilty of illegal attempts to ensure the judge’s favor. The former president was initially sentenced to three years in prison, but after his appeals, he finally shortened his home prison for one year with the obligation to carry a monitoring bracelet.
Nicolas Sarkozy is the first convicted President of France since World War II. He had problems with justice since the end of his mandate in 2012.
In September, the ex -president will be re -placed in September in the case of alleged illegal financing campaign by money by Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
