On October 21st, local time, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, accompanied by his wife carla bruni, walked out of his home in the 16th district of Paris, ready to go to La Sante prison to start his five-year sentence.
The 70-year-old, who was convicted of criminal conspiracy for allegedly using Libyan funds to fund his 2007 election, has been forced to live in a “single room” of just nine square meters for a period of time in the future, despite insisting on his innocence.
The Lausanne Prison, built in 1867, is famous for its dirty environment and dangerous prisoners, but it has been thoroughly renovated in recent years.
Sarkozy allegedly arrived at the prison before 10 a.m. that day, and he was sent to the so-called VIP area. On their way to the area, other prisoners shouted, "Welcome Sarkozy!" And "Sarkozy is here!"
A prison source said: "Sarkozy is well protected, but obviously everyone in the prison knows that he is here. The scene has been very lively, and many people are shouting to welcome Mr. Sarkozy."
Sarkozy, who was interviewed before entering prison, said: “I’m not afraid of going to jail. I’m going to raise my chest, even at the prison door.”In addition, he also revealed that he brought some family photos and three books, “I brought The Count of Mount Christ” and two volumes of “The Biography of Jesus” written by Jean-Christian Pettyfields.”
Although at her husband's side, as the former first lady, Bruni was very strong, but after sending her husband, faced with supporters outside the house, she was somewhat upset, seen a scene of tears.
Bruni, 57, was already influential before becoming Mrs. Sarkozy, she was an Italian supermodel and a good singer and songwriter. If, according to her own explanation, singer is her main business, when the model can only be in line after the music, but many people know her because of her performance on the T stage.
Many French people gathered outside Sarkozy's home that day to express their support for the former president.
It is said that the activity was initiated by Louis Sarkozy, the 28-year-old son born to Sarkozy and his second wife Cecilia Siganel. He sent out an invitation on social media, hoping that supporters could show their love and respect to his father.
As he walked on the martyr’s path to his home door, Bruni looked back again and thanked supporters that her 14-year-old daughter, Julia, had done the same as her mother.
Julia, the only child of Sarkozy and Bruni, looks pretty handsome, but on social media she looks different, looking far more mature than in real life.
Just two days before her father was imprisoned, Julia celebrated her 14th birthday, wearing a red hangover dress, having a party with friends at the restaurant, and receiving a Fendi handbag as a gift.
She shared these images on social media, which in turn sparked controversy. Many people believed that her heavy makeup was completely devoid of the innocence and purity that a girl her age should have. However, some people think that this is inevitable. Julia follows the Internet celebrity route and wants to follow the trend on social media.
Julia left the house the same day with her second brother, Jean Sarkozy, who was holding the hand of her father's mother-in-law, and the two brothers looked more like their father-in-law. And it's not surprising that, after all, Jean was 39 years old. Julia also had a older brother, Pierre, 41, Pierre and Jean were both children of Sarkozy and his first wife.
Julia also has a half-brother, Aurelian Ntoven, the 24-year-old son of Bruni and the French philosopher Raphael Ntoven.
