法国前总统萨科齐(Nicolas Sarkozy)因阴谋资助利比亚秘密竞选资金,必须立即开始五年监禁。 Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy must begin a five-year prison sentence immediately for conspiracy over alleged secret Libyan campaign funds.

法国前总统尼古拉·萨科齐(Nicolas Sarkozy,70岁)必须在巴黎法院判定他从2007年起犯有关于利比亚秘密竞选资金的犯罪阴谋罪后立即开始服五年徒刑,使他成为第一位被判处实际监禁的现代法国总统。 Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, 70, must begin serving a five-year prison sentence immediately after a Paris court convicted him of criminal conspiracy over alleged secret Libyan campaign funds from 2007, making him the first modern French president to be sentenced to actual jail time. 法院裁定,尽管萨科齐提出上诉并声称无罪,但由于该罪行对公共秩序的严重影响,必须毫不迟延地服刑。 The court ruled the sentence must be served without delay due to the offense’s serious impact on public order, despite Sarkozy’s appeal and claims of innocence. 虽然法院没有发现任何证据,这笔钱被用于谋取个人利益或直接用于他的竞选活动,但法院援引了与一名与恐怖主义有关的利比亚情报人物的秘密会晤。 While the court found no evidence the money was used for personal gain or directly in his campaign, it cited secret meetings with a Libyan intelligence figure linked to terrorism. 萨科齐在报告之前有18天时间准备确定监禁日期,很可能在La Santé监狱的一个特殊区。 Sarkozy has 18 days to prepare before reporting to set his incarceration date, likely in a special section of La Santé prison. 判决与法国的做法一致,法国90%的被判处两年或两年以上徒刑的人在上诉时立即服刑。 The decision aligns with French practice, where 90% of those sentenced to two or more years serve time immediately, even while appealing.
