The ruling marks Sarkozy’s second final conviction, further complicating the former president’s ongoing legal battles—while diminishing his slim prospects for a political comeback.

The French ex-president has been released from prison but is set to endure an appeal trial for allegedly breaking electoral law.

The 70-year-old former president is likely to be held in a unit for vulnerable prisoners or under solitary conditions.

The ex-president risks six months under home arrest with electronic monitoring if his conviction is upheld.
