Nicolas Sarkozy became the first former French president in living memory to be imprisoned as he began serving a five-year sentence in Paris’ La Santé prison on Tuesday for criminal conspiracy in an attempt to use Libyan money to finance his 2007 election campaign.
The president of France between 2007 and 2012, Sarkozy will serve his sentence in a prison that has housed some of the most well-known inmates since the 1800s.
