Snip:
Inmates in Paris’ La Sante prison have threatened former French President Nicolas Sarkozy with revenge for the death of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, a cell phone video from the facility appears to show.
Sarkozy, 70, began serving his five-year sentence on Tuesday after a Paris court found him guilty of criminal conspiracy in a scheme to fund his 2007 presidential campaign with money from Gaddafi, against whom he later led a NATO-backed regime change operation which destroyed Libya and led to Gaddafi’s death.
Videos taken from La Sante began circulating on Tuesday, in which purported inmates called out threats and cat-called Sarkozy, who is serving his time in the prison’s solitary confinement wing.
“We will avenge Gaddafi! We know everything, Sarko! Return the billions of dollars!” a man shouted in one video posted on social media. “He’s all alone in his cell. He just arrived… he’s going to have a bad time.”
