tsoukase ◴[] No.45667963[source]
A former Prime Minister of a first world country in jail is insane. He must have made a crime without the help of others because in political scandals usually a whole gang of public people is liable. Then you have to convict the monkey with the bananas and the whole tree.

If we follow the French justice, in my country (Greece) about 10% of people including almost all the politicians of the last decades should be in jail.

Sarkozy was not the only one sentenced to jail in that trial: Claude Guéant and Brice Hortefeux were also convicted, receiving sentences of six years and two years, respectively.

And then there are the many other trials involving Sarkozy and those around him...
