法国前总统萨科齐(Nicolas Sarkozy)必须立即开始对利比亚秘密竞选基金判处五年监禁, Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy must immediately begin a five-year prison sentence over secret Libyan campaign funds, becoming the first modern French president to serve jail time.

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,尽管他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 his appeal and claims of innocence. 虽然法院没有发现任何证据,这笔钱被用来谋取个人利益或直接用于他的竞选活动,但法院援引了他的同伙与一名与恐怖主义有关的利比亚情报人员之间的秘密会晤。 While the court found no evidence the money was used for personal gain or directly in his campaign, it cited secret meetings between his associates and a Libyan intelligence figure linked to terrorism. 萨科齐在向当局报告确定监禁日期之前,有18天时间准备。 Sarkozy has 18 days to prepare before reporting to authorities to set his incarceration date. 预计他将被关押在巴黎La Santé监狱的一个特别“VIP”区,在那里,他将单独关押,享有有限的特权。 He is expected to be held in a special “VIP” section at La Santé prison in Paris, where he will be housed alone with limited privileges. 他的上诉可能发生在2026年春季,可能允许在复审前予以释放,但法国的标准是两年或两年以上徒刑的立即监禁,90%的此类案件也同样进行。 His appeal, which could take place in spring 2026, may allow for release pending review, but immediate incarceration is standard in France for sentences of two or more years, with 90% of such cases proceeding similarly. 这一决定引发了辩论,特别是在对极右领导人Marine Le Pen采取类似的即时惩罚之后。 The decision has sparked debate, especially following a comparable immediate penalty for far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
