Nicolas Sarkozy says he wants to 'prove his innocence' as he is released from prison

Former French president, who said his three weeks in jail had been a 'nightmare', will serve the rest of sentence outside pending appeal. Nicolas Sarkozy has said he wants to "prove his innocence" after being released from prison while he appeals against his conviction for criminal conspiracy over a scheme to obtain election campaign funds from Libya. After 20 days in jail that he had earlier described as "gruelling" and a "nightmare", the former French president was driven away from La Santé prison in Paris on Monday accompanied by his wife, the singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

The tag has now been removed. Continue reading.
