On November tenth, a Paris court will decide if former French President Nicolas Sarkozy will be released from prison, less than three weeks after his five-year sentence began for illegally funding his 2007 campaign with Libyan money. Sarkozy, the first former French head of state to be incarcerated, requests early release, but judges consider if he might flee, influence witnesses, or interfere with the legal process. If approved, he could leave prison within hours, but remain under strict supervision, maintaining his innocence and claiming a plot connected to late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
