Sarkozy waved from the car to supporters gathered on the roadside

Sarkozy served as the president of France from 2007 to 2012. On September 25th this year, the Paris Criminal Court ruled that Sarkozy was guilty of "conspiracy" from 2005 to 2007, allowing his cronies and political supporters to seek financial support from former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in the 2007 presidential election. The court sentenced him to five years' imprisonment, some of which can be executed at home by electronic surveillance.

Sarkozy insisted that he was "innocent" after the trial and said he would appeal the verdict. However, on the 13th of this month, prosecutors initiated the sentence enforcement process, summoned Sarkozy and informed him of his sentence arrangements.

On the morning of the 21st, Sarkozy left his home in west Paris and went to prison to serve his sentence. Before getting in the car, he thanked supporters who gathered on the side of the road, singing "Marseillaise" and shouting the slogan "Free Nicola!"

Mr. Sarkozy also posted on his social media account: "The truth is wrong.This morning, not a former president of the republic was detained, but an innocent person."
