He spent the end of year holidays in the sun, with Carla Bruni. But in truth, the tiles are one after the other for Nicolas Sarkozy… After a conviction on appeal to a three-year prison sentence, including one year closed in the wiretapping affairanother chapter opens. The former President of the Republic returns to court today.
This January 6, 2025, opens its trial on suspicion of Libyan financing for his campaign in 2007. Barely back from the Seychelles, Giulia's dad also has an appointment with the sentence enforcement judge. This January 7, 2025, they must discuss his home detention, under electronic bracelet.
New trial for Nicolas Sarkozy
It's in Carla Bruni's private mansion, in the 16th arrondissement, that he should serve his prison sentence. He has lived there since the start of their relationship and their marriage. As a reminder, the singer and model put the ring on her finger in 2008. They had their little Giulia in 2011. At the time, Nicolas Sarkozy spent his time between this address and the Élysée, before moving return the keys in 2012 to François Hollande, his successor.
According to our colleagues at Libération, in accordance with the penal code, when Nicolas Sarkozy has his bracelet, he will be able to leave his home. And this, “for the time necessary to carry out a professional activity, to follow an education, an internship, training or medical treatment, to look for a job, to participate in family life or any integration or reintegration project“.
In addition to the year in prison that he must spend at home, Nicolas Sarkozy also risks 10 years in prison if he is found guilty in the Gaddafi affair.
However, there is still a way for him to escape house arrest, according to the daily. Indeed, the one who has always proclaimed his innocence, in both cases, will soon be able to apply for parole. And this, regardless of the length of the remaining sentence. This because he will celebrate his 70th birthday on January 28, 2025.
Carla Bruni arms herself
Carla Bruni, who literally held his hand during his previous trial, is preparing for this new challenge. Loyal to her man, to stay strong, she now reads a personal development book. It is called “The power of the present moment”, it is signed Eckhart Tolle.
On Instagram, Nicolas Sarkozy's wife wished her friends a good day, burning sage in his hand. This purification ritual is very fashionable today. It has been practiced for centuries by Native Americans, and it serves to “laver” a space and rid it of negative waves.
