TOPSHOT - A courtroom sketch made on November 23, 2020 shows former French president Nicolas Sarkozy during the opening hearing of his trial for attempted bribery of a judge at Paris' courthouse. - Prosecutors say Sarkozy promised the judge a plush job in Monaco in exchange for inside information on a separate inquiry into claims he had accepted illicit payments from L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt during his 2007 presidential campaign. Though he is not the first modern French head of state in the dock, Sarkozy is the first to face corruption charges.
