Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to five years in jail after being found guilty of criminal conspiracy in his trial over the alleged illegal financing of his successful 2007 presidential campaign with funds from the government of then-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The Paris criminal court acquitted the 70-year-old of all other charges, including illegal campaign financing and passive corruption, on Thursday.
