France’s ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy left home on Tuesday to head to jail after being found guilty of seeking to acquire Libyan funding for his 2007 presidential run, AFP reporters saw.
He walked out of his home hand-in-hand with his singer wife, Carla Bruni, and left in a car escorted by police on motorbikes.
Sarkozy, France’s right-wing leader from 2007 to 2012, is to become the first first former head of a European Union country to serve time behind bars.
