Carla Bruni, once a supermodel and chart-topping singer, was thrust back into the spotlight when she was placed under judicial supervision amid a criminal case involving her husband, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has since been sentenced to five years in prison.
A Paris court on 25 September 2025 sentenced Sarkozy to prison after finding him guilty of criminal conspiracy tied to alleged Libyan funding of his 2007 presidential campaign.The verdict also imposed a fine of €100,000 (approximately £87,000) and a five‑year ban from public office, with the sentence to be served even if Sarkozy appeals.
