PARIS (AP) 鈥� France鈥檚 highest court, the Court of Cassation, has upheld an appeal court decision which had found former president Nicolas Sarkozy guilty of corruption.
鈥淭he convictions and sentences are therefore final,鈥� a court statement on Wednesday said.
Sarkozy, who faces one year in prison, is entitled to ask to be detained at home with an electronic bracelet 鈥� as is the case for any sentence of two years or less.
Sarkozy was France鈥檚 president from 2007 to 2012. Has retired from public life in 2017.
