The criminal trial and conviction of (mostly former) national leaders has happened in stable, mature democracies, just as it has in former dictatorships. The track record of convicted leaders shows just how risky it is to try to predict what will happen. In 2017, South Korea impeached and later criminally convicted now-former President Park Geun-hye in a bizarre corruption scandal involving the influence of a friend and confidante. After a scandal emerged involving the state oil company Petrobras, Lula was convicted in 2017 of corruption and money laundering. “Political leaders can choose how they will speak about these institutions.”

A Paris appeals court upheld on Wednesday the 2021 conviction of former President Nicolas Sarkozy for illegal financing an election campaign but cut his sentence from one year to six months with a further six months suspended. Mr. Sarkozy’s lawyer, Vincent Desry, immediately said that Mr. Sarkozy would appeal to France’s highest court. Nicolas Sarkozy is fully innocent,” he said. “He has taken note of this decision and decided to appeal to the Court of Cassation.”The appeal could take years to be resolved, ensuring that Mr. Sarkozy remains free for the foreseeable future. The former president, known for his irrepressible energy and blunt style, hurried out of court and did not take questions.

He is charged with illegal campaign financing, embezzling, passive corruption and related counts. Investigators examined claims that Gadhafi’s government secretly gave Sarkozy 50 million euros for his winning 2007 campaign. The sum would be more than double the legal campaign funding limit at the time and would violate French rules against foreign campaign financing. After becoming president in 2007, Sarkozy welcomed Gadhafi to France with high honors later that year. In an unrelated case, Sarkozy was sentenced to a year of house arrest for illegal campaign financing of his unsuccessful 2012 reelection bid.

PARIS — Nicolas Sarkozy, the former French president, was once known as “Sarko the American” for his love of free markets, freewheeling debate and Elvis. Of late, however, he has appeared more like “Sarko the Russian,” even as President Vladimir V. Putin’s ruthlessness appears more evident than ever. “European interests aren’t aligned with American interests this time,” he added. His statements, to the newspaper as well as the TF1 television network, were unusual for a former president in that they are profoundly at odds with official French policy. They provoked outrage from the Ukrainian ambassador to France and condemnation from several French politicians, including President Emmanuel Macron.

Trump and his sons are decrying his indictment as a sign the US is now a "third world" country. But other democracies across the world have prosecuted, convicted, and even jailed former leaders. Trump's sons offered similar takes, portraying the charges against the former president as a political attack orchestrated by his opponents. Trump is the first former US president to be criminally charged, and his indictment comes amid a period of historic political polarization. The researchers said that in "mature democracies, prosecutions can hold leaders accountable and solidify the rule of law."
Procurorii au cerut joi o pedeapsă de un an de închisoare, dintre care şase luni cu executare, împotriva fostului preşedinte francez Nicolas Sarkozy, judecat la Paris pentru cheltuieli excesive în campania pentru alegerile prezidenţiale pierdute din 2012, informează France Presse, citat de agerpres.ro. Sarkozy, care nu a fost prezent la audiere, este judecat din 20 mai. Pedepse cuprinse între 18 luni şi patru ani de închisoare cu suspendare au fost cerute împotriva celor 13 coinculpaţi judecaţi alături de Sarkozy pentru cheltuieli excesive în campania sa prezidenţială. Procurorii au cerut o pedeapsă de trei ani de închisoare cu suspendare şi o amendă de 50.000 de euro pentru fostul director adjunct al campaniei, Jerome Lavrilleux, singurul care a recunoscut frauda. Pentru cei trei foşti directori ai Bygmalion, compania responsabilă de întâlnirile lui Nicolas Sarkozy, care au recunoscut că au acceptat un sistem de facturare falsă, au fost cerute 18 luni de închisoare cu suspendare.

Dar există și corupție. 2016 în mass-media se discuta pe larg «Panama guest», fiind publicate date despre o companie juridică offshore «Mossack Fonseca». 150 mii de dolari, a fost numită ambasador în Elveția, iar Jane Stetson, care a acumulat 2 mln.430 mii de dolari – ambasador în Franța. Timoti Brous a adunat peste 500 mii de dolari și a obținut funcția de ambasador în Olanda. Ea crea subcontractori imaginari și autorități portuare false pentru a prosti FMM și a le obliga să plătească pentru servicii inexistente ».
