Nicolas Sarkozy has been stripped of his Legion d'honneur award, France's highest distinction, after his graft conviction. The former French president was found guilty of illegal attempts to obtain favors from a judge.

Sarkozy is currently appealing the conviction at the European Court of Human Rights while also being tried in a separate case on charges of accepting illegal campaign financing in an alleged pact with late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Wow...

Finally some good fucking news !

Ha ha ha ha inhales ahahahahah!

Why do I get the feeling this was one of many non public corrupt decisions this man made? Apologies if this is not the case, but our shitty leader in US will have an iceberg of maleficence on his coat tails.

Even Putin still has his legion d'honneur.

“The widely-expected decision to take the award back from Sarkozy came despite the opposition of current French President Emmanuel Macron, who said in April that he thought that it was important for "former presidents to be respected." First of all fuck you and your pedophile wife Macron and second of all this award was created by Napoleon himself, what about respecting him, or your history or what the award actually stands for?
