France's ex-president Sarkozy receives police protection in prison • FRANCE 24 English

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy will have two police officers stationed in nearby cells while he is in prison to ensure he comes to no harm, France's interior minister said on Wednesday. Sarkozy on Tuesday began a five-year sentence after being convicted of conspiring to raise campaign funds from Libya, arriving at La Santé prison in Paris - a stunning downfall for a man who led the country between 2007 and 2012.
