Rome, 22 October (LaPresse) – Two police officers are present in the cell next to that of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to ensure his safety. ‘He has a protection system in place, given his status and obviously given the threats against him. And this system has been effectively maintained during his detention,’ French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said in an interview with Europe 1-CNews. The minister said the protection system will remain in place ‘as long as it is needed.’
