France Sarkozy Prison\u00a9\u00a0Thibault Camus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

PARIS (AP) \u2014 A Paris court is deciding Monday whether to release\u00a0former French President Nicolas Sarkozy<\/a>\u00a0from prison, less than three weeks after he began serving a\u00a0five-year sentence for criminal conspiracy<\/a>\u00a0in a scheme to finance his 2007 election campaign with funds from Libya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarkozy, 70, became the first former French head of state in modern times<\/a> to be sent behind bars after his conviction on Sept. 25. He was jailed on Oct. 21 pending appeal but immediately filed for early release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under French law, detention before an appeal ruling is supposed to be exceptional. Judges will weigh whether Sarkozy presents a flight risk, might pressure witnesses, or could obstruct justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the request is granted, Sarkozy could leave Paris\u2019 La Sant\u00e9 prison within hours under judicial supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former president, who governed from 2007 to 2012, denies wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a \u201cplot\u201d linked to the former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarkozy also faces separate proceedings, including a Nov. 26 ruling by France\u2019s highest court over illegal financing of his failed 2012 reelection bid, and an ongoing investigation into alleged witness tampering in the Libya case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
