France’s top court on Wednesday upheld Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction for illegal campaign financing of his 2012 reelection bid, in another blow to the former president’s legacy and reputation. The decision by the Court of Cassation makes definitive Sarkozy’s conviction to a year in prison, half of it suspended, for fraudulently overspending on the failed campaign. Under French law the sentence can be served at home, monitored with an electronic bracelet or other requirements set by a judge.A Paris court in 2021 and an appeals court in 2024 convicted Sarkozy of illegal campaign financing in 2012. He’s accused of having spent almost twice the maximum legal amount of 22.5 million euros ($25.5 million) on the reelection bid that he lost to François Hollande, a socialist.
