Seven years for Sarkozy seems steep, but if the evidence is solid about those Libyan funds, he deserves it. Funny how he always claimed to be the clean hands guy.
This is clearly a political vendetta. The judges are going after Sarkozy because he’s a former president, but where’s the proof that he actually took Libyan money? It’s all hearsay.
I remember when Sarkozy was in office, he was so tough on corruption. Now look at him. The irony is staggering, especially with the $5 million cash delivery story from 2007.
If the prosecutors have phone records and witness testimony tying Sarkozy to the Libyan deal, then 7 years is fair. But the French justice system better not mess this up.
Nicolas Sarkozy’s fall from grace is complete. First the wiretapping conviction, now this. He must be terrified of ending up like other leaders who got caught with foreign cash.
Mark my words: Sarkozy will never serve a day in prison. He’ll appeal all the way to the European Court, and by then everyone will have forgotten about the Libyan millions.
