Potential Early Release for Sarkozy After 20 Days in Prison
France's former President Nicolas Sarkozy may be released from prison after 20 days, as a Paris court reviews his request for early release pending an appeal of his five-year sentence for criminal conspiracy related to campaign financing from Libya. Sarkozy, who maintains his innocence and claims the charges are part of a political plot, is awaiting a decision that could see him freed under judicial supervision. He faces multiple legal cases, including charges of illegal campaign financing and influence peddling.
