Legal Troubles of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Nicolas Sarkozy
Former supermodel and French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy faces preliminary charges for witness tampering in a case involving illegal campaign financing. Her husband, ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy, has been convicted in two other legal cases but denies wrongdoing. He was found guilty of corruption and influence peddling in a separate case in 2021, making him the first former French president to be convicted and sentenced to prison for actions during his term.
