Sarkozy ordered to serve prison sentence in Bygmalion case

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been ordered to serve a six-month prison sentence in the Bygmalion case, according to sources close to the matter. The sentence, which can be served under a semi-liberty arrangement, was not allowed to be merged with his other final sentence in the Bismuth case.

The Paris criminal court made the ruling Monday, confirming earlier reports. Sarkozy retains the right to appeal, a step that could require him to wear an electronic bracelet again.

This decision marks another significant moment in the legal challenges facing the former head of state, whose political career has been repeatedly affected by judicial proceedings.
