Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France, has begun serving a 5-year prison sentence following his conviction for campaign finance conspiracy. Accompanied by police officers, Sarkozy entered La Santé prison amid significant media coverage and public attention. His imprisonment marks a historic moment, as he becomes the first former French president to be incarcerated. Despite the serious allegations, Sarkozy remains defiant and proclaims his innocence. He is under additional police protection due to threats from other inmates and has brought personal items, including sweaters to keep warm. Supporters have voiced their discontent over the sentence, reflecting the heavy political scrutiny surrounding his case.
