Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy appeared in court on Monday to appeal his conviction for criminal conspiracy related to attempts to secure funding for his 2007 election campaign. This case, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison last year, made history: Sarkozy became the first post-war French president to be imprisoned. Authorities detained him at Paris's La Santé prison in October but released him three weeks later under judicial supervision with a ban on traveling outside France.
