[FR] Pour la première fois, un (ex) président français va aller en prison. Nicolas Sarkozy a été condamné la semaine dernière à 5 ans de prison. Un jugement historique pour celui qui a dirigé la France de 2007 à 2012.
Dans cet épisode, on te raconte tout sur cette affaire hors norme… et on en profite pour parler de la corruption en politique française.

Quelles sont les grandes affaires qui ont marqué les Français ces dernières années ? Tu vas voir, certaines sont incroyables : un homard, une bouteille de vin à 500 €, un ministre du Budget avec… un compte caché dans un paradis fiscal.

On revient aussi sur le rôle crucial des journalistes français, notamment d’un média en particulier, et on compare la situation de la France avec celle d’autres pays dans le monde.

[EN] For the first time ever, a (former) French president is going to jail. Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced last week to 5 years in prison — a historic verdict for the man who led France from 2007 to 2012.

In this episode, we tell you everything about this extraordinary case… and take the opportunity to talk about corruption in French politics.

What are the major scandals that have shocked the French in recent years? Some of them are truly unbelievable: a lobster, a €500 bottle of wine, and a Budget Minister with… a secret offshore account.

We also talk about the crucial role of French journalists — especially one media outlet in particular — and compare France’s situation with that of other countries around the world.
