巴黎法院将于星期一决定是否释放70岁的法国前总统尼古拉·萨科齐(Nicolas Sarkozy), A Paris court is set to decide on Monday whether to release former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, 70, from prison after just 20 days of serving a five-year sentence for criminal conspiracy related to secret meetings with Libya’s former intelligence chief over campaign funding in 2007. 萨科齐是第一位在狱中服刑的现代法国总统,他否认错失行为,声称此案出于政治动机,没有直接证据将利比亚资金与他的竞选活动联系起来。 Sarkozy, the first modern French president to serve time in prison, denies wrongdoing, claiming the case is politically motivated and that no direct evidence links Libyan funds to his campaign. 法院将评估他是否可以在司法监督下获得有条件释放,等待上诉。 The court will assess whether he can be conditionally released under judicial supervision, pending appeal. 他还面临其他法律挑战,包括11月26日就2012年另一场竞选活动筹资定罪作出裁决,以及因据称篡改证人罪名而提出新指控。 He faces additional legal challenges, including a Nov. 26 ruling on a separate 2012 campaign financing conviction and new charges over alleged witness tampering.
