The Paris Court of Appeal ordered the release of former President Nicolas Sarkozy after he entered the " La Sante " prison.
The decision represents a significant turnaround in the judicial process, which has long been observed by the international community.
On October 21st, Sarkozy was placed behind bars, which sparked a wave of comments and analyst assessments. The atmosphere in front of the " La Sante " prison was charged, with reporters and photographers standing ready to capture every moment of the drama.
The French prosecution proposed that judicial supervision be imposed on the former president while his five-year sentence is appealed. The sentence was issued for illegal financing of the 2007 election campaign, an event that left a mark on the French political scene.
Sarkozy's release, albeit under judicial supervision, signals a certain change in the situation. The court imposed strict restrictions on him, including an extended " ban on contact ". Among them is a ban on contact with the current Minister of Justice. In addition, Sarkozy will not be allowed to leave French territory. This restriction underscores the seriousness of the charges and the risk of avoiding justice.
