At the end of 2024, the Court of Cassation, the ultimate Court in France, upheld the conviction Sarkozy wanted to sue.Established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, the Legion of Honor (Légion d’honneur) is now the highest honour in France.
She is admitted to being a model civilian or military service and is considered a hallmark and an authoritative designation of exceptional merit.
The rules of the Legion of Honor order the exclusion of any winner sentenced to imprisonment for 1 year or more.The repeal of the order makes Sarkozy the second leader of the French state without the Legion of Honor;
The first was the infamous Marshal Philippe Petain.
The leader of Vichy's puppet Nazi government in France during planet War II was convicted of treason in 1945. The decision to deprive Sarkozy of the award was made despite reports of the reluctance of the current French president Emmanuel Macron, who said in April that he believed the erstwhile state leader "He deserves respect."
