Nicolas Sarkozy spoke via video link from prison via video link on Monday November 10 and said: "I had never imagined I would experience prison at 70. This ordeal was imposed on me, and I lived through it. It's hard, very hard.”
Nicolas Sarkozy had said previously in a statement that “As I prepare to cross the walls of La Sante prison, my thoughts go out to the French people of all walks of life and opinions," he said.
"I want to tell them with my unwavering strength that it is not a former President of the Republic who is being locked up this morning, it is an innocent person."
Sarkozy also added that "I feel deep sorrow for France, which finds itself humiliated by the expression of a vengeance that has taken hatred to an unprecedented level. I have no doubt. The truth will triumph. But the price to pay will have been crushing."
