Prosecutors seek 7-year sentence for former French President Sarkozy

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy could face additional years in prison as prosecutors on Thursday said they would pursue a seven-year sentence and a €300,000 fine for Sarkozy’s alleged acceptance of campaign contributions from former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s government. Sarkozy, who is currently serving a one-year sentence with an electric tag as a result of a separate trial, continues to deny the charges.
