According to inkorr.com: The Paris Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into death threats made against former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, which were made in the Santé prison. This was reported by the BFMTV channel, citing sources, as noted by 'Glavcom'.

Actions of the Prosecutor's Office

Three inmates who threatened Sarkozy have been isolated. According to the Europe 1 radio station, they may soon be transferred to another facility. The assailants had their mobile phones confiscated.

Nicolas Sarkozy faced death threats on the very first day of his stay in prison. A video of the threats was posted on social media. In it, the suspects promised to 'deal with Sarkozy' and insulted the former president.

Sarkozy's Security

It was previously reported that Sarkozy's security is provided by armed members of a police special unit, who guard the former president around the clock.

Sarkozy's Sentence

Recall that the 70-year-old former head of France, who served from 2007 to 2012, was found guilty of participating in a criminal group in connection with Libyan financing of his election campaign on September 25. However, he was acquitted of charges of concealing theft of state funds and passive corruption. The court did not establish the fact of illegal funding of the 2007 election campaign.

Sarkozy received a five-year prison sentence, of which he began serving on October 21 in a solitary cell in the Santé prison in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.

Thus, Sarkozy became the first former president of France to be sentenced to actual imprisonment. He will serve his term in a solitary cell with a personal shower, at least until the start of his appeal hearing.

The situation surrounding Nicolas Sarkozy has sparked great public interest, as the former president has found himself at the center of a scandal related to his financial affairs. The prosecutors' investigation could affect the future development of his career and reputation, as each new episode only intensifies public attention to his person. It is important how this situation will impact the political landscape of France and the perception of former presidents in the future.
