After 15 hours of detention and the heavy accusations leveled against him by the judges (corruption, trafficking in influence, violation of investigative secrecy: crimes worth 10 years in prison), the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy vented on TV shouting conspiracy: “I am shocked and humiliated: politicized judiciary, it wants to destroy me”.
Despite the hard blow suffered Sarko, who remains under investigation even if released, does not rule out returning to the field of politics: "I love my country passionately and I am not discouraged in front of rudeness and political manipulations", he always said live last night television.
But it is not only Sarkozy who falters under the blows of the judiciary, the earthquake has hit the whole system of power that had been built up under the president, bishop of the neo-Gaullist right: lawyers, friends, ministers, advisers, collaborators. All overwhelmed by seven investigations that in recent months have seen the name of Sarkozy emerge and alongside him a galaxy of "excellent".
