Fox News
A Court of Cassation decision upheld the corruption conviction of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who now faces a year in prison.
He was found guilty of corruption and influence peddling by both a Paris court in 2021 and an appeals court in 2023 for trying to bribe a magistrate in exchange for information about a legal case in which he was implicated.
"The convictions and sentences are therefore final," a Court of Cassation statement on Wednesday said.
