Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy lost his case at the Paris Court of Appeal against a 2021 conviction for corruption and influence peddling over a secret phone line that was revealed through wiretapping.

The black squads upheld the sentence of 3 years, two of which were suspended. He will remain at home for the remaining year of his sentence, while he has warned that he will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of France.

The 68-year-old, who served one term from 2007 to 2012, has been embroiled in legal trouble since leaving office.

The court found that Sarkozy and his former lawyer, Thierry Herzog, had created a "corruption pact" with judge Gilbert Azibert to obtain and share information about a legal investigation.

Investigators had tapped Sarkozy's two official phone lines. They discovered he had an unofficial third released in 2014 under the name "Paul Bismuth" through which he communicated with Herzog.

The content of those calls led to his corruption conviction two years ago. Nicolas Sarkozy has served a five-year term as president since 2007.

He has adopted some tough anti-immigration policies, and has attempted to reform France's economy. But, in that period, the whole world has faced financial crisis.
