Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to three years in prison, including one year in prison for corruption and influence peddling, French media reported. The decision was made in court, where the violation of the law by the former president was confirmed.

The chairman of the court specified that one year of the total term of imprisonment would be conditional, allowing Sarkozy to serve the real sentence at home. However, he will wear an electronic bracelet to monitor his whereabouts.

Sarkozy's punishment stems from allegations of corruption and influence peddling, which have attracted widespread public attention. The decision of the court caused various reactions in the society, and some consider his sentence fair, while others consider it too harsh or not strict enough.

This case was another example of the prosecution of former politicians, highlighting the importance of fighting corruption and ensuring the rule of law in the political arena.
