Ex-French President Sarkozy Sentenced to 5 Years for Libyan Campaign Financing

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to 5 years in prison after a Paris court found him guilty of criminal conspiracy tied to alleged Libyan financing of his 2007 campaign. In a surprise move, the court ruled Sarkozy will be incarcerated even if he appeals, though the date is not yet set. Sarkozy, 70, called the verdict �a scandal� and vowed to fight it, saying the ruling humiliates France.
