Attempts by the former French president and his supporters to discredit the legal process by which he was sentenced have been irresponsible and unjustifiedAs he was transported to La Santé prison in Paris on Tuesday, Nicolas Sarkozy posted a message brimming with defiance on X, writing “It’s not a former president of the republic who is being jailed this morning, it’s an innocent man”.
