Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has started a 5-year prison sentence for conspiring to raise campaign funds from Libya's late dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Sarkozy, 70, maintains his innocence and has appealed the verdict. He'll likely be held in solitary confinement at La Sante prison in Paris, where he'll have access to a TV and landline phone. This marks a historic moment, making Sarkozy the first modern French president to serve jail time.
