00:00Обвинительный приговор Николай Саркози окончательно утвержден.
00:30It's more likely that he will serve this sentence under some sort of partial house arrest or with an electronic bracelet, and that will be up to the judge to decide in the coming weeks.
00:42But this ruling adds to Sarkozy's long list of legal battles.
00:46In September, he was found guilty of criminal conspiracy for allowing his campaign managers to seek illegal funding from the late Libyan dictator Gaddafi for his 2007 presidential campaign.
01:00This marked the first time in French modern history that a former head of state actually went to prison.
01:08But after three weeks, he was released and is now preparing to appeal this case next year.
01:15But this is not the first time that the top court has rejected Sarkozy's last appeal.
01:21In a separate case in December last year, the court made his conviction final for trying to bribe a judge in exchange for information.
01:30Subsequently, Sarkozy had to wear an electronic bracelet from February to May of this year.
01:37And for now, his legal battles show no signs of slowing down, keeping the former president firmly in the spotlight.
