Ready to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, in order to prove his innocence is the former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy.
According to the APE-MPE, this is the first public reaction of the former president, after court found him guilty of corruption yesterday Monday (1/3).
“I have appealed against the decision, I may have to continue this fight until the European Court of Human Rights,” Sarkozy said in an interview with Le Figaro.
“It will be painful for me to have to go to court in order to condemn my own country“But I am ready for that, because that will be the price of democracy,” he said, adding that he would not run in the 2022 presidential election, but would support a candidate in due course.
It is noted that the decision against Sarkozy, which sentenced him to three years in prison – one of them without suspension – for corruption and unfair influence is unprecedented for his country.
The court ruled the 66-year-old former president of France not to be taken to prison but to remain under house arrest, with electronic bracelet.
