Sarkozy says won't accept 'profound injustice' after court verdict

Former president Nicolas Sarkozy said Wednesday he was the target of a "profound injustice" after France's top court upheld a corruption case verdict requiring him to wear an electronic tag for a year.

Sarkozy, writing on X, also maintained his "perfect innocence" and said he expected the European Court of Human Rights to find France at fault in the case, adding that "this could have been avoided if I had benefitted from a level-headed legal analysis".
