France's highest court upholds corruption conviction of ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy
Briefly

"The convictions and sentences are therefore final," a Court of Cassation statement on Wednesday said. This confirms the judicial process against Sarkozy is complete and binding.
Sarkozy, in a statement posted on X, said "I will assume my responsibilities and face all the consequences." He expressed readiness to comply with the ruling but also claimed, "I have no intention of complaining. But I am not prepared to accept the profound injustice done to me."
Sarkozy said he will seek to bring the case to the European Court of Human Rights, hoping for a ruling that would lead to "France being condemned." His assertion of "full innocence" demonstrates his ongoing contention against the charges.
