Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy will go to prison on October 21, informed sources told AFP Monday, after a court last month sentenced him to five years behind bars for criminal conspiracy.

The 70-year-old, who will be the first French postwar leader and the first former head of a European Union country to go to jail, will serve time at the La Sante prison in Paris, they said.
