Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced to five years in jail for criminal conspiracy over dealings with Libya. He was found guilty of allowing aides to procure funds for his 2007 presidential bid from Libya during Muammar Gaddafi's rule. Sarkozy will spend time in jail despite planning to appeal, calling the ruling "scandalous" and an attack on the rule of law and justice system.
