Following Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction to three years in prison, including one year under an electronic bracelet, for corruption and influence peddling, his wife, Carla Bruni, performed a scathing song to defend him on Instagram.
Justice ruled on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. That day, the Paris Court of Appeal officially condemned the former President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, to three years’ imprisonment, including one year to be executed under an electronic bracelet, for corruption and influence peddling. This judgment, unprecedented for a former resident of the Élysée, involved in the wiretapping case. Additionally, the Paris Court of Appeal also issued a three-year civil rights ban for the former head of state, therefore making it ineligible.
Shortly after the announcement of this conviction, Nicolas Sarkozy filed an appeal in cassation, as announced by his lawyer Jacqueline Laffont. This will rely largely on the secrecy protecting conversations between lawyers and their clients. “My feelings, I keep them for me and for my family. The question asked is not to know if I am loved or not, but to know if the law has been respected, or if the only thing that matters is thatan institution covers up unacceptable behavior for the sole purpose of not disavowing itself“, indicated Nicolas Sarkozy to the Figaro. The former President can in any case count on the support of his wife, Carla Bruni, who defended him on Instagram by performing a rather scathing song.

“Everyone rushes. Out of reach of the rutting monkey. Except an old decrepit one. And a young judge in raw wood. Seeing that all are slipping away. The quadrumane accelerated. Her waddling towards the dresses. Of the old woman and the magistrate! Watch out for the gorilla! ‘Bah ! sighed the centenarian. That they could still desire me. It would be extraordinary. And, to be honest, unexpected!’ The judge thought, impassive ‘Let me be taken for a monkey. It’s completely impossible’. What followed proved him wrong! Watch out for the gorilla! But, unfortunately, if the gorilla. At the games of love is worth its price. We know that on the other hand it does not shine. Neither by taste nor by spirit. Then, instead of opting for the old. As anyone would have done. He grabbed the judge by the ear. And dragged him into a maquis! Watch out for the gorilla! The sequel would be delightful. Unfortunately, I cannot. Not say it, and that’s unfortunate. It would have made us laugh a little. Because the judge, at the supreme moment. Screamed ‘Mom!’, cried a lot. Like the man to whom, the same day. He had his neck cut off. Watch out for the gorilla! Thank you Georges Brassens!“, she sang.
