Ex-French President Nicolas Sarkozy to wear electronic bracelet for a year after losing corruption appeal
Fox News
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was denied his appeal of a conviction on corruption and influence peddling charges and sentenced to serve time at home.
The 68-year-old appealed the decision, claiming innocence. But the court on Wednesday denied Sarkozy's appeal and upheld his conviction, according to a court official. Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital. Send tips to chris.pandolfo@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @ChrisCPandolfo.
However, Sarkozy's lawyer said he will appeal again to France's highest court, the Cour de Cassation. The Cour de Cassation will review Sarkozy's case for legal or procedural errors, but will not re-examine the facts, Reuters reported.
