Nicolas Sarkozy made history this week for all the wrong reasons, becoming the first former president of Franceto be sent to prison. The move has prompted emotional scenes on the streets and fierce debate across the nation.
The 70-year-old ex-leader began serving a five-year sentence on Tuesday at La Santé prison in Paris, following his conviction for criminal conspiracy in a case involving alleged illegal funding from Libya's Moamer Kadhafi during his 2007 presidential campaign.
