Nicolas Sarkozy, France's former president, has had his Legion d'honneur stripped after being convicted of graft. This revocation follows an upheld conviction that has resulted in Sarkozy's ongoing legal challenges and an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. Sarkozy is also facing another trial regarding alleged illegal campaign financing. Despite these issues, he remains active in right-wing politics, highlighting the complexity of his post-presidential life.
The ruling to revoke Sarkozy's Legion d'honneur reflects strict adherence to France's laws, which mandate the loss of awards following serious criminal convictions.
Sarkozy, while appealing his graft conviction, continues to navigate the political landscape despite facing significant legal challenges that could lead to prison time.
