From The Beeb:
Former French president sentenced to jail for corruption
French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to three years in jail, two of them suspended, for corruption.
He was convicted of trying to bribe a judge in 2014 - after he had left office - by suggesting he could secure a prestigious job for him in return for information about a separate case.
His crime:
The crimes were specified as influence-peddling and violation of professional secrecy.
We would convict half of congress with these charges. Pity as he was a true conservative. Couldn't keep his hands out of the cookie jar.
