Summary
France’s top court upheld former President Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction for corruption, mandating a one-year house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor.
Sarkozy, barred from office for three years, was found guilty of bribing a judge for case information in exchange for job assistance.
Despite plans to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, this ruling marks a final domestic legal defeat.
Sarkozy faces ongoing trials, including allegations of Libyan campaign financing. Once a key political figure, he is now the first post-war French president convicted and sentenced to jail time.

And South Korea circa 2018. Unclear if South Korea circa 2024 will be a positive or negative lesson.
