Sarkozy n'espère "en aucun cas" être gracié
The Paris Criminal Court sentenced the former president on Thursday to five years in prison with possible incarceration for having "allowed his closest" collaborators to approach Muammar Gaddafi's Libya to finance his victorious 2007 campaign.
When asked by the Journal du Dimanche if he hoped for a pardon from Emmanuel Macron, the former head of state replied: "In no case."
"To be pardoned, you must accept your sentence, and therefore acknowledge your guilt. I will never acknowledge my guilt for something I did not do. I will fight until my last breath to have my honesty recognized," he adds, concluding with "I will win."
The pardon only applies to a final and enforceable conviction, and is therefore not an option for the time being, as Nicolas Sarkozy has appealed the judgment.
In this lengthy interview, he quotes the presiding judge's words regarding the document published by the Mediapart news website in 2012 that initiated the proceedings—a note in Arabic about an agreement to support the presidential candidate's campaign. According to the judge, "the most likely outcome is that this document is a fake."
"If there is a forgery, it means there were forgers, manipulators, and therefore a conspiracy," Nicolas Sarkozy believes. "In a normal world, the entire prosecution should have collapsed. However, the court did exactly the opposite. I remind you that I lost the 2012 presidential election by a very narrow margin. The Mediapart forgery played a major role in that. Who will right this injustice?" he continues.
Asked about the provisional execution of his five-year prison sentence with deferred committal, Nicolas Sarkozy said he expected "everything, but not this."
"All the limits of the rule of law have been violated. It's so unbelievable. Even in its violent requisitions, the PNF (National Financial Prosecutor's Office, Editor's note) hadn't asked for it!" he notes.
In the meantime, the former head of state remains free and was present at the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening to watch the PSG-Auxerre match, where he was seen in the stands by an AFP photographer, waving to the crowd.
Nicolas Sarkozy was summoned on October 13 by the PNF, which will then inform him of the date on which he will be imprisoned, probably in the "relatively near future" according to a judicial source.

Il a tué khadafi
Un criminel doublé de raciste.
Sarkozy est dans tous les scandales de la république un vrai mafioso il a combien de procès passés et à venir il a beaucoup fait du mal aux français .
Tous les occupants de l'avion, 259 personnes incluant les membres de l'équipage, ainsi que 11 villageois frappés par les débris, succombent des suites de cette tragédie qui survient quelques jours avant les célébrations de Noël. Du nombre, on compte 170 Américains. L'hypothèse d'un attentat est rapidement considérée par les enquêteurs et une chasse lancée afin de connaître les auteurs de cet acte ainsi que ceux qui l'ont planifié. Plusieurs théories sont avancées - Syrie, Iran, groupe palestinien, etc. - , mais la piste privilégiée est celle de la Libye, dont le président Mouammar Kadhafi est identifié comme une des figures de proue du terrorisme international.
Donc tu dois répondre de tes responsabilités, l'opinion internationale est témoin de l'assassinat de Khadafi commandité par ce type mafieux .
L'unique méthode pour cacher l'histoire comme notre cher continent n'a couché guère d'histoire.
Et toi ton épisode en Afrique est-elle belle? Je ne crois pas c'est ce que t'as valu l'horreur de ta vie!
Tu n'y arrives à te defendre, t'es devenu minuscule.
