For the first time in French history, a former president has been sentenced to prison. Nicolas Sarkozy was handed a five-year sentence by a Paris court for criminal association tied to alleged Libyan financing of his 2007 campaign. Though acquitted of the most explosive corruption charges, the ruling marks a seismic shift in France's political and judicial landscape.
