Release of Nicolas Sarkozy: 'A good legal system must provide guarantees to avoid arbitrariness or politicization'

INTERVIEW - After three weeks in detention, Nicolas Sarkozy has obtained his release. This decision by the appeals court illustrates the complexity of a justice system that would benefit from simplification, and, to strengthen its credibility, should offer more guarantees of impartiality, says the magistrate.

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.
