Today something unprecedented happened in Paris: a former French president went to prison. Nicolas Sarkozy was convicted of "membership in a criminal organization." It was about a corruption deal with Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi.
With his money, Sarkozy would finance his rise to power, to the pinnacle of French politics. Because the French president is a bit of a king. Like in medieval times.
Now Sarkozy's big world has been reduced to a nine-square-meter cell: a bed, a table, a chair, a wall phone, a mini-stove for cooking food, a toilet, a shower.
If he wants to have a refrigerator in his cell, Sarkozy must pay 7.50 euros per month. If he wants a television, he must fork out 14.50 euros per month.
With him, in addition to his personal belongings, he took two books: a biography of Jesus and the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas.
The novel is over 1,000 pages long, but the gist is this: the main character, Edmond Dantès, is in love with the beautiful Mercedes and has been promoted to captain. A happy life awaits him.
But as a result of a conspiracy of envious people, Dantès ends up in prison for 14 years. Even in prison, unexpected things happen. Another prisoner tells Dantès the location of a treasure on the Mediterranean island of Monte Cristo.
Dantès manages to escape from prison, finds the treasure, and returns to Paris under a new name: The Count of Monte Cristo, captivating Parisian society with his wealth. His former adversaries have risen to the highest positions in post-Napoleonic France, but even they are not safe from the Count's bitter revenge.
Will Sarkozy also return as an avenger? He believes he is the victim of a conspiracy. But his political life is far from the literature of Alexandre Dumas.
Sarkozy's friendship with Gaddafi alone has enough material for a crime novel, a voluminous thriller: with the support of the Libyan dictator, he became president of France, then was among the first Western leaders to intervene in Libya to overthrow Gaddafi.
That's how politics is sometimes, especially when the statesman has no scruples. Of course, Nicolas Sarkozy has a completely different opinion of himself. Before going to prison, he said he would write a book.
